a7S II

Honestly, my a7Sii got me so good at MF that when I upgraded, it felt like AF was getting in the way. It’s a great too to have but I generally prefer not using auto anything

When I bought my GH6 I wanted anamorphic and bought the Sirui 35mm manual lens and realised how great manual focus was for filming. Since then I have bought a pile of vintage lenses and just love them. I use them on my A7Sii also and rarely have an AF lens attached these days or have it switched to

You are me... Shot on the GH5 with 18-35 for years. Love the image and set up, DPs and producers thought I was shooting on a Red. But it obviously has some limitations. I got hired for a project that for me justified an upgrade, but like you didnt want to shell out a bunch of money. I ended up pulli

3yrs later - why did I ever use autofocus - manual is king, I absolutely love it. Very rare I use AF these days. Only regular AF for me now is pocket 3 or action cam. Still love my GH6 and bought an old A7Sii for dark nights which is pretty much permanently on Manual like the GH6. Can’t find any exc

I’m a wedding videographer and I’d take the fx3/a7siii over the a7v.

I'm in a similar position, looking to upgrade my A7iii and A7Sii (which I use as B/C cams with my A9iii) and I've been thinking of both a A7V and FX3, FX3 for better low light and the ability to have XLR input for certain jobs and the A7V to be a workhorse. My main concern about the FX3 was the auto

I have a pile of old skool camcorders but my HDR S80 HDD Sony is kind of useful for old skool vibes and ease of transfer. I adore my old HVR-Z1 but transfer is more time consuming. For digital I just went the dslr/mirrorless route and bought a GH6 and A7Sii I know folks whimpered about AF but with a

Thanks for the tips! After 7 years of shooting weddings with Sony (A7SII, A7III, A7IV and A7SIII) I decided fo try Lumix. My S1II arrived 2 days ago, fantastic camera. I already can feel what I loose from Sony but I'm confident I made the right move. The IBIS on this thing is fantastic, this feature
