The Sony RX100 VII is the seventh generation of Sony's premium compact camera RX100.
This camera looks like its predecessor the RX100 VI on the outside except for the extra interface ports. However, there are significant upgrades on the inside, like video usage. RX100 VII features a microphone jack to the delight of many consumers, which had requested this feature. Furthermore, it has no limits on continuous 4K video recording time, while its predecessor has a limit of 5 minutes recording.

In addition, there's no Neutral Density (ND) filter and no place on the camera to mount a “not-so-portable” microphone.
