Noob question: why film in 4K?

90% of the people on YouTube have no idea what they’re talking about But you wanna shoot 4K even for delivery at 1080p with the a6400 because the 1080p is awful. It’s line-skipped 4K so it looks really really really bad and blurry. If you’re shooting for work and worried about file sizes then charge

Will I regret buying the FX30 instead of the FX3?

Hey guys!

So long story short, I’m a videographer that makes social media content and plans on shooting some client work on the side to get some extra income.

I’m currently shooting on a Sony a6400 with a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 and a Sigma 30mm f/1.4. The only things missing in my opinion are a wid

Noob question: why film in 4K?

I've set myself the goal of getting the best possible image out of my unimpressive kit (Sony a6400 Tamron 17-70), so I set the file format to 4K basically because everyone on YouTube said to.

As I sit here waiting for the massive files to transfer from the SD card to my computer where I'll edit th

Switching from ZV-E10 to A6400, am I making the right choice?

Is there any reason for the switch? They sre basically the same camera but with the a6400 builth with better materials and a viewfinder (and maybe weather sealing?), otherwise the E10 is the more latest of the two sporting gyro data recording and a type-c port

With the tech of modern phones what are your thoughts on dedicated cameras

I bought a Sony a6400 a couple of years ago with a nice lens. Spent ages looking forward to it, and honestly, it’s great. It takes great photos and video.

There’s no doubt that if you want to take the best quality photos or video, perhaps for your work, you need to get equipment dedicated to it. Pr

Switching from ZV-E10 to A6400, am I making the right choice?

If you are shooting photos, go with the a6400. If not, stay with the ZV series, and if you have money, buy whatever you want that will make you happy. Both are excellent, so there is no bad choice here.

DSLR camera looking super poor quality

You’re missing a capture card. The a6400 needs something like the Elgato Cam Link 4K connected via HDMI output. You’re not going to get great quality directly connected to the PC. You should be able to get 1080p out of a direct connection but that higher quality image is usually done via HDMI output

xQc everytime he sees Pokimane

im not super sure how the show was being run, but if they're showing her camera from zoom it's entirely possible that the "HD" option was deselected on her end. it's off by default and it's kind of in a weird spot, so it doesn't seem impossible. zoom itself is also not greaaaat for quality, so my be

Need a camera that can record for 2 hours straight in 4k without overheating

I’m an audio engineer and records audio of live classical music performances. Some clients however request for video. Been using my iPhone 13 for a while but I’ve reached its limits.

I need a camera that could record in 4k without overheating for at least 2 hours without overheating. I really like
