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.

Get an A7Siii used. Best deal by a mile. Especially if they toned down the noise reduction (not sure if they did this though). That higher second native ISO of 12,800 on the FX3, A7Siii, and ZVE1 makes a large difference. Between the FX30 and FX2 definitely grab the FX2, you can save money buy getti

I hear you. I've been professionally shooting Minolta/Sony FF for the past 20 years or so, E and A bodies. The A7sIII is the king for low noise. The A99II was (I'm retired) my work horse where I shot a lot of still scenes with a minimum of 3-5 shots stacked and then processed in LR classic. The effe

My thoughts exactly. I would have rather a 1" sensor at 5.3k. Bigger pixels, less noise, more DR. This is the reason so many people love the Sony A7s3 sensor

More megapixels = more thirst for light Not really. Noise is almost entirely a function of how much light is collected by the whole sensors. Read noise only becomes relevant if the exposure is extremely small and in that context having more pixels tends to increase noisyness. Lot's of people make th

Submission Statement: I just put together a 3.5 hour ambient underwater film from dives in the Broughton Archipelago off northern Vancouver Island, and this is a short trailer from it. This was filmed over 7 dives across 3 days, totaling roughly 8 hours underwater, followed by about 20 hours of comp

Yeah nice video! (Have shot the Milky Way in video myself many times..) In that particular Instagram video they also used the Sony a7siii. Sorry to tell you, but the a6700 won't do that either (is comparable to the ZV-E10 image quality/sensitivity.) You really need any of those bodies I mentioned to

Right tool for the right job. shooting in low light situations or handheld movement? Sony full frame no questions asked with amazing sensors and imbedded gyro data. shooting on a safari or hunting blind where space is limited? m43 has you covered. Extreme examples but that's why I've both systems to

I hate to send any BM shooters to Sony but if low light is your wall, you're just going to need another way to climb it.I love Canon color more but my current project would have been hamstrung without our Sony 2nd camera. We run BM 6Kff, a couple different Ursa models and a Sony A7s3. As much as I t

I had a GH2 as a b-cam/gimbal cam in the mid-teens. I ended up using it as much as my a-cam. The colors just popped in a different way, and that hasn't changed. I went from an Eva-1 at my last house to Sony A7s3's at my current shop. The Sony is a clean, low light monster, but the Eva still has a pe
