LUMIX S5IIX

You'll be paying Sony tax for everything tho, I say go the Leica with Panasonic S5IIX

Hey there! Full time business photographer videographer here. Looks like you’re hitting the limit of using a hybrid photo camera for long form video. The Nikon Z8 is an incredible camera, but some would say it isn’t built for hour plus continuous recording, especially in a theater environment. Readi

I wouldn't say it's video first. It's just that Lumix actually gave you the video features required to fully utilize the capabilities of the camera. The competition often kneecapped their cameras by treating video as a gimmick. Even on Sony cameras, which were popular for video and had capable hardw

Unless you are married to the idea of going Sony, consider the Lumix S5iix. Outstanding hybrid for same price as the slightly outdated a7iii. Your estimates for batteries and charges will transfer to Panasonic nicely

The only thing that would hang me up is the screen only being tilt. I'd consider Fuji for a medium format

Before you become so despondent, the S1Rii firmware version 1.1 was a bug fix and for improving operational stability. The June v1.2 was the monster feature update as promised. Despite Panasonic's recent history of doing press releases for game changing firmware updates, small regular updates should

Some thoughts as a full time videographer who has shot weddings in the past: I have the r6 mk3. I do not recommend it as a video-only camera. I bought it to be my hybrid body to complement my c70. If you want a video-focused body within the canon ecosystem, your only decent opinions are R5C, C70, C8

I'd say 3 Panasonic s5iix, they can be had cheap every so often and come bundled with free lenses quite often as well. I picked them as you can plug a USB SSD straight in and record for hours in a huge variety of codecs etc. But if there is a cheap deal on another brand or they're out of range then
