i'm a sony user and also really don't understand all the hype around the a7v. In my opinion it's overpriced for what you get and what the competition is offering. But sony fanboys will tear you up if you write something about the a7v not being the best camera there is in this price range

I have 2 Sony A7IV s I don’t see any feature that will make me want to get an A7V. If I want to upgrade for video I’ll go with the FX3 If I want better AF for action, I’ll get the A9III If I want more pixels, A7RV

Lumix S5ii. I know you want to stay Sony but that A74 will overheat, it happened to me. You can buy two of them for the price of the A7V and they are bulletproof! You can get XLR adapters if you’re doing the audio yourself. Luts you use in SLOG actually work very well on Vlog also.
