Alpha FX3

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

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

4Mp probably no but Sony's FX3 is one of the most desirable videographer's camera due to extreme low light performance. And it's only 12Mp.

I own FX3, ZV-E1, A7iv and the new A7v. After some testings and a few field gigs, the A7v certainly has the better sony Autofocuse system and better in-body stabilizer, and sharper in-camera 4k video codec than FX3 and ZV-E1. Low light is shockingly as good as FX3 and ZV-E1 up to ISO 12800... ZV-E1

Mostly larger pixels which means better low light performance. Not really. It's the sensor area that allows for better low light performance. A larger sensor has more area for photons to hit, which means it collects more light for each photograph. Assuming the same basic sensor tech across multiple

Since I specialize in filming in extreme lowlight nature.. (for Docu/TV etc) And since I often shoot the night sky. I can tell you that Capturing the Milky Way like that in video... that will take way more than what the E10/E10ii are capable off. Their Max ISO in video is 32.000 And even with a ligh

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

I guess we'll agree to disagree for the most part. I get why you're skeptical. I just remember hearing in a CES interview or something of the sort Sony's explanation of why they didn't label many of their cameras as dual native ISO and it was due to them reserving that label for cameras that match t

I'm a videographer by trade, photo enthusiast as a hobby. Panasonic S1H for open-gate and superior IBIS, Sony FX3 is best for low-light & grading, & Canon R5ii for 8K and high-res photos (and VR180 tbh) I like the way the M9 handles reds and blues in a way I've never seen before.
