Alpha ZV-E1

When shooting listing videos with my Sony ZV-E1 (Same sensor and processor as the FX3 or A7SIII) and either my Viltrox 16MM F1.8 for the majority of the shots or my Tamron 28-75 F2.8 for detail shots, I typically shoot in 4K60, so depending on the lighting conditions in each room, I'll typically sho

I generally use a Sony zv-e1 with a 12-24mm lens but also have a canon 90d with a 10-18mm lens I used for years. I use the Sony because of its superior video. I rig it on a DJI rs4 and also use a DJI mavic 3 classic drone. The Sony isn’t the best photo camera but certainly does well enough for my ne

I replaced a Sony ZV-E1 with the Nikon ZR. I also have a Sony A7CII. The screen was a factor in my switch to the ZR. The ZV-E1 was difficult to use on bright days. I've been very happy with the ZR screen. Autofocus was definitely better on Sony, but the ZR is not bad. I don't shoot anything super fa

yeah a lot of people hate on the ZV because it offers so much compared to the high price of entry for an FX3. Its more than enough for most people starting out. If Im being real though, the overheating is a serious issue for professional work…but I only had it happen when ripping a ton of slow mo an

Depends on your needs to be honest. Tonnes of people film on a phone and make great videos. Tonnes more film on phones and make trash. Same can be said of DSLR. But they both have their uses depending on HOW and where you film, and the look you're going for. Personally, I do my talking head and stud

Yes but with a few issues. No flash support/mech shutter is the first con, second con would be lack of smaller primes right now since most most of the lumix lenses are big and or heavy right now. I really like my S9 for it's good mobile workflow and luts, especially if you're using it mainly for pho

Sony has improved things a LOT with their Dynamic Active stabilization, but it does add quite a crop. On the 12mp ZV-E1 or FX3, it means video frames get upsized to get back to 4k. It looks like the FX3 II is going to be 16mp which should help a lot with that.

Thx for the sLog2 Lut, really like how it always lifted the shadows just slightly, even in 10-bit I much prefer it over sLog3 for my type of extreme Lowlight (Starry/Moon-lit landscape) filming. Cine2 would have been useful as well, but I think it was because on the a7s2 you saw difference in Noise

I’m trying to decide between these cameras too, maybe the FX3 too if I find the right deal or can’t pull the trigger before an FX3 II drops and kills the used price of the FX3. Because that’s another thing you have to think about when buying an FX3 in 2026: it might soon be replaced, maybe – or mayb

That’s really interesting. I shot stars a few months ago with my Sony ZV-E1 (Sony 20 mm f1.8) and also shot with high ISO settings. But then I had quite a lot of bright noise. In the end I chose iso ISO 51200 and it was a good compromise. Here is my source where I headed about negative gain (around
