Does this sound like a fair deal?

Looking at just numbers, it's not worth it. Honestly look at the numbers, $30/hr x 5hrs = $150. The cost of renting from your local camera store, the most newest camera (canon r5 or sony a7siii) is about that much or likely higher. You're basically working for fun or loss.

I just purchased the most bashed camera of 2025

People said the same thing about the FX3 in regards to the A7SIII. Swapped my A7IV for the FX2 on day 1 and it has been worth every penny. I think a big part of the hate is that people were wanting that announcement to be for an FX3ii… Which I still don’t see why anyone thinks Sony would release an

Need camera recommendations for better low light professional quality.

Sony ZV-E1. You can buy used ones for less than $1500. Camera has the same low light sensor as the A7Siii/fx3.

FX3 vs A7Siii for Video

They are the same camera in different enclosures. Not just the same sensor. They have the same processor, using the same core firmware, the same everything. For awhile, the FX3 was on a different firmware with significantly more video features. Sony has since updated the A7S III to that same core fi

Sony admits A7S III firmware updates are breaking features

This is a crap excuse. It’s not that features are stripped. It’s the fact that Sony KNOWS that cameras are getting bricked and crippled. Yet, they are making customers pay for fried motherboards and arguing with them about how ITS NOT their fault. Don’t get me wrong i appreciate them still adding fe

Found this strange setup at the Berlin flea market for €35. Bought for the Lens. Olympus 500mm f/8 Zuiko Reflex. Anyone have any experience?

Honestly yeah, I may try to adapt it to my Sony A7SIII that has insane lowlight iso. It would allow me to ramp up shutter speed.

Вышло видео Луны высокого качества. Вы никогда раньше не видели Луну в такой детализации. Камера ASI678MM через Takahashi TSA-120 и удлинитель 1,5x. Изображение на 60 МП, созданное путем сложения и сшивания 10000 кадров, а затем улучшенного в AutoStakkert 4 и Photoshop

Хрень это, на самом деле а не 108 мегапикселей. Просто маркетинг. На качество изображения в первую очередь влияет размер сенсора, размер пикселя на этом сенсоре, и сколько света он получает. Камера, на 10 мегапикселей, но у которой большой качественный сенсор, улавливающий много света - снимет чётче

Should I upgrade firmware from 2.0 to the newest?

The newer firmware versions can break wireless and audio features on a subset of Sony cameras. These issues have impacted the A7S III, FX3 and other Sony models. Most cameras update without issue. Some do not. It is not a user issue, it's a Sony issue. The impacted cameras work perfectly on the 2.x

Bluetooth/WiFi malfunction after new update
