Budget Lowlight Sensors?

Used A7Sii Can be had cheap, still has low light capabilities that is only really surpassed by the 3, and you can adapt your EF glass EDIT: You can remove the 30 min record limit by installing the playmemories tweak app. I've used it for years and it's never failed

Is it worth it to learn photography as an LD?

I have a Sony A7s i but a Sony A7s ii is probably pretty reasonable these days bought second hand. This series of camera is notable for low light performance so great for our application. I use Tamron lenses since they’re a bit cheaper. My 28-200 is great for performance. But if you can afford Sony

Best starter lens for fx3?

I’ve been using this same lens for 3 camera bodies now. A7sii, a7riii, and now the fx3. Haven’t really needed to expand much other than a 18mm prime lens. You’ll want more than just 70mm

Sony z ev 10 vs a6100

Well i would suggest you got a fullframe camera rather than a crop sensor. If a new one dsnt fit your budget try getting a 2nd hand. There are a lot of a7iii & a7sii for sale..way better options to do pro level work in the long run. Along with a 35mm 1.8 or maybe a 16-35 + 50mm 1.8 should be perfect

3 fast moving objects captured with infrared camera - Nov. 24, 2025 around 10pm PST - Los Angeles, CA

Great to hear you are interested in starting! We need more cameras pointed towards the sky, day and night. I'm using a Sony A7SII converted to Full Spectrum IR by the talented people at LifePixel. The A7SII is a great place to start because it is inexpensive and you can adapt many different lenses t

Yeah, it‘s crazy what huge potential these cameras do have, especially when you have „proper“ lenses on it 🙏 I do work as a professional videographer (and video editor) for over 20 years now, so I‘m used to „proper“ cameras but since i started using the A7SII with Canon lenses, I was blown away when

Old Sony Users Who Switched To Panasonic; Any Regrets?

I have shot with a Fujifilm X-H1 with the battery grip and big lenses, an A7SII with a huge cage and accessories, and the A7C I currently use has a Tilta cage with at least 2 accessories on it at all times. So I'm happy, if not happier with a bigger alternative because having a heftier rig makes it

I think I might have committed a pretty stupid mistake as a beginner...

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

200-800 USD Budget, Confused, Any Begginer Device For Me?

Thanks for the reply.I looked at similar models from other brands. Initially, I was considering the A7III, but then I downgraded a bit to a cheaper model. I decided on the A7sII. Looks like Sony A7SII (330-500 USD) + 50mm f/1.8 (170-250 USD) is perfect match for me. %60-70 video, %30-40 photo. IBIS,

Are there any good eye cups for the A7III?

They arrived today. They are one piece but not soft rubber as advertised, hard but not bad. They don't click in place quite as well as OEM but I don't mind because the eye cups falling apart was a bigger annoyance to me. Not perfect but a small upgrade and worth the $9 imo. If you're interested sear
