Sony to Nikon?

Hey Mate, I've been a NIkon shooter for a long time and currently use a D4; dual D850s, still have a D750 and just bought a Z6iii. Lemme tell you a story about that So I made a massive mistake with a former partner I was working with and moved from Nikon to Sony with dual A&r4s, 8 lenses and a sony

Full circle, FX3 to S1 II then back to FX3.

This is interesting. I used to have a Sony A7SIII and today I have two S5IIX. For me, aside from the autofocus, everything else is much better on the Lumix, even though it’s considered a “lower” camera. The colors are better and more pleasing. The codec is very easy to work with. Skin tones are bett

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

Looking to upgrade to a camera that can shoot 4k 60.

Let me once again get up on my soapbox and preach the gospel of the ZV-E1... Exact same sensor and processor as the A7SIII and the FX3 in a much smaller, lighter and cheaper body. 4K60P with no crop, 4K120p with an APSC crop, amazing low light capabilities, 4:2:2 10bit codecs and really excellent AI

Should I upgrade firmware from 2.0 to the newest?

A lot of people are scared because of people saying it bricked there camera. A lot of people are wary, because Sony's 3.x, and 4.x firmware has been disabling wireless connectivity and audio inputs, and reducing autofocus performance. Not bricking. YOU CAN’T JUST SIMPLY JUMP FROM OLDEST UPDATE TO NE

ZR Owners - How is the AutoFocus and Inbuilt Stabilization compared to Sony Cameras?

AF is great! depending on your usage it can be on-par with sony in my tests. IBIS is bad. unusable for cinema or big screens in general, wobbly image. i have the a7sIII and FX3

Need reccomendations on purchase of Gear.

The fx3 is an awesome camera. Slog-3, base iso 12800, Full Frame, that’s all super helpful. I also agree 100% with the first commenter, everybody has this setup, but there’s a reason for it. Ofc you will get more unique images with vintage lenses, but also especially if you shoot weddings, autofocus

Need reccomendations on purchase of Gear.

I must have missed that, I apologize. You're looking for an upgrade then, my advice was predicated on you not already owning a camera. If you're absolutely in need of low light nothing will compare to a full frame Sony. I'd still encourage you to save money if you can and buy the a7siii, as it is $1

Returning my FX30 - What's the right upgrade from GH5 for event/social media work?

Go with the Sony ZV-E1. Significantly cheaper than FX3/A7S3 (especially if you're willing to buy used). Same sensor with great low light capabilities. AF is supposedly better than those cameras. And you get 4K60 SLog3 in 10 bit. If you're shooting run and gun (which it seems like you are), the ZV-E1

A7V vs FX3

Yes of course, but for OPs use case being photo and wedding/ run and gun video the A7V is a way better photo camera and probably still is enough for video. Full frame 4k 120p is nice but the A7V still has full frame 4K 60p and s35 4k 120p, enough for weddings and run and gun shooting. The cooling fa
