ZV-E1 for $1,414 (Best Buy Open-Box) vs FX3a for $2,900 — am I missing something?
The ZV-E1 is pretty great and would be perfect for family events and travel (using Cinetone for video). I usually pair mine with a Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG DN (which has lovely bokeh, by the way) and I love how compact the setup is. For that price, I wouldn't hesitate, especially since you already have o

thinking of switching from ZVE1 (fx3 sensor) to Lumix S5ii for Stabilization and higher resolution?
That’s why the stabilization sucks. You need to use a Sony lens with the zve1 and use dynamic active stabilization or what ever it’s called. I hage a zve1 and if you use a native Sony lens the stabilization is almost like a gimbal. Sony is a bitch ass company for doing this.

How to unify my camera systems? (Canon RF / Leica / Sony / RED)
The easiest option would be to replace your Sony ZV-E1 with something like the upcoming Nikon ZR. That would save you from your set of E-mount lenses. You don't necessarily have to invest in new lenses for ZR, as the Z-mount is the most adaptable mount around. You can adapt any of your lenses to it,

FX3 or R6V
So many fantastic perspectives here. Depending on your needs, you might look at the zv-e1. If you're needing reliable, long takes, skip it. But the ZV-E1 is another reason I've stuck with Sony: size matters to me, and everything about Sony is smaller: the full-size bodies are smaller than the Canon

Should I buy Full frame now and use my APS-C lenses until I can buy FF ones?
This need to be higher. A7SIII, FX3 and ZV-E1 all have the same sensor that does not do full resolution crop mode. OP will be stuck with 1080p when using APS-C lenses. Probably best case scenario is to sell all crop lenses and buckle up for a Tamron 28-75, Sigma 28-70, Sony 24-50 or a Sony 20-70. Al

I fell in love with M43 and i have to tell someone
That would be so cool!! I had Sony a7iv, ZV-E1, Fuji XT5, X100V (bought it for 460€ back then and sold it for 1100€ 4 months later lol) and then some but no camera was even close to my GX9 in fun, lens catalogue and size / weight. I‘d love a M43 camera with 4k60 without crop and otherwise the exact

Saying goodbye to Lumix S9
Sony is much richer in small primes, I'll grant you. Lumix only has the smaller Sigma i's, which are a little heavy because they're all-metal. But the subject is the S9 plus 20-60. It is a simple fact that you can't get a 3x zoom range in a smaller and lighter package on a FF camera even on Sony. Th
