Need camera recommendations for better low light professional quality.

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

Torn between two cameras!! Sensor size, low light, and post cleanup?

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

Hello ZV E10, E10 Mark II Users. If we crank up the ISO to max, can we capture a video like this? I know. Not photo using Long Exposure. But a video. Is it possible?

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

A7V vs. FX3 for someone who already owns an A7IV

When I owned the A7IV, I could definitely tell a difference between that and my FX3/A7SIII sensors. It wasn’t as good in low light (obviously, unfair comparison) but it was noticeably sharper (higher res sensor). Normies wouldn’t notice, but since I work with these on a daily basis, i definitely cou

Deciding between A7V and FX3

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

A7V or FX3?

Low light is shockly as good up to ISO 25600... ZV-E1 was my go to camera with best AF and

$1500 Budget for Camera: Prioritizing Low-Light & Sharpness

This is the correct answer. A used ZV-E1 = best low light performance on the market + ibis + gyro data + full frame + etc etc Tamron 28-70 2.8 is the best value FE zoom to pair with it. A zoom is better than cropping into photos in post on a low light camera. Low light sensors are not high mega pixe
