Alpha ZV-E1

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

No, I just used a Sony ZV-E1, it takes really crisp low light videos. Why the video looks a little weird is the compression to make it a GIF that works well on Reddit.

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

My biggest issue with the FX30 is it’s lowlight performance. Even slightly darker settings is really rough. Anything over shot over 2500 ISO is borderline ruined. Would recommend considering the Sony ZVE1

It is a great pocket video camera and casual photography travel camera. It lacks many professional photography features and people disparage it for that without considering the camera isn’t made for that kind of work. I ultimately returned it, the camera feels a bit too cheap for me, the buttons and

Go with the Sony ZV-E1. Significantly cheaper than FX3/A7S3 (especially if you're willing to buy used). Same sensor with great low light capabilities. AF is supposedly better than those cameras. And you get 4K60 SLog3 in 10 bit. If you're shooting run and gun (which it seems like you are), the ZV-E1

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

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

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
