Alpha 7 V

This is the part I strongly disagree with. The difference is keeper rate and expectations. With a modern higher end mirrorless like Sony a7v Nikon Z6III or something, even a beginner can get like a 40% keeper rate, and a moderately skilled amateur can get into like 70% rate. But if you're shooting a

It’s all quality of life improvements at the end of the day. I would assume all of us here are trying to tell a good story. You can tell an amazing story with a camera that came out five or even 10 years ago. The FX5’s image doesn’t automatically tell a better story. The RAW recording doesn’t automa

Where do you live that the prices are that different? In Belgium, where i live, the Lumix is €2999, Sony a7v €2999 and canon r6iii €2949. So these are so similar that it comes down to workflow and preference

Feels like a step sideways rather than a step up. No joystick? No photography? Priced like an FX6? Open gate is raw only? Inferior Venice style menus? The A7S3 and the FX3 were prosumer grade cameras for everyone, but the FX5 is more of a niche pro cine cam. Not the best for the massive customer bas

Not sure if you have ever heard this piece of advice, but know that it is the only piece of advice you ever really need when considering new gear: buy the tools you need right now. So, write down a list of things you need currently out of a camera. Try not to be swayed by specs that you know may exi

And when you use the DPReview DR tool and adjust for 6 stops of recovery, the Z8 images look just fine against the A7V, Z7 II and A7R V. https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr144_0=nikon_z

how many people actually use all the features of these do it all cameras This is largely an irrelevant question from the manufacturer's perspective. It's far cheaper to keep the number of hardware and software combinations low unless some specific feature significantly increases the production cost

Hard pass. If I wanted to blow $3.9K on a tech toy I didn't need, I'd rather get a sony A7v

Genuinely confused as to how you could get this so wrong. The S1II and the A7V are the same price currently in the US ($2899), The R6 III is $100 cheaper, Nikon Z8 starts at $3100 used on MPB, and the A1 starts at $3400 used. At $2356, the S1ii a DEAL. Let's break this down: - Photography: all the b

People are just frustrated because you made your life difficult by buying something without knowledge. If you bought say a Sony A7V you’d get effortless tracking of subjects and sharp photos. It’s like buying a Ferrari and asking people how to tow a boat. I’m sure it can but if you asked before hand
