Is the sony rx100 vii good for vlogging?

The RX100 VII is a capable little camera, but it's only a partial fit for vlogging. Its 9-72mm lens starts at about 24mm full-frame equivalent. My vlogging checklist asks for 16-20mm at arm's length, because 24mm crops you tight once stabilisation crops in further. You'd be framing yourself quite close.

The RX100 VII page doesn't say whether the screen flips forward or whether there's a microphone input, and both matter a lot. Check those before you buy. Its light body is a plus for holding it out for minutes at a time.

Read through the vlogging checklist first, then plan your sound using the audio notes. Bad audio ruins more videos than soft focus.
