Alpha ZV-E1

Sony FX3 is kinda where the consumer high end went. Lumix with the S5IIx is the best value for money right now. The Sony FX30/ZVE1 and Lumix S9 make for great small form factor video machines. Most of today’s cameras make a great image but are limited by how long you need them to run, cameras used t

I would put dji osmo pocket 3 in the same category for video. Small, audio quality is great, can shoot d-log, stabilization is amazing. Bigger cameras like lumix, sony etc. are just not in the same category of weight and portability. Even the the aps-c sensor ones, they are just much bulkier when yo

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

Imo the FX3 doesn’t generally would make sense in a vacuum but there is competition and Sony has allegedly registered the FX3ii which means it will probably be released soon. I think the biggest pros for the FX3 are lowlight, great autofocus, easy to edit files, full sensor 4k and also compatibility

It lacks many professional photography features and people disparage it for that without considering the camera isn’t made for that kind of work.

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

If you want interchangeable lenses and L mount while fitting the compact bill, the S9 is the only choice essentially Other brands have nice compact offers too (Sony with zve1 and a7cii, nikon with ZR, canon with r8) If you are willing to forego full frame you do gain a lot more in regards to portabi

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

Sony ZV-E1 is crazy good for i´ts price tag.It has FX3's specs but in a small fragile body.If you dont plan to films in extreme weather or long format video go for it, I highly recommend it,in my opinion the best bargain for video you can get in current day. Also learn to take advantage of good natu

Professional videographer and camera nerd here! The amount of time I’ve spend researching this is kinda silly, but I think I’ve came up with the best setup for a weight-quality ratio. Full disclosure, this is the right setup for ME, someone who knows how to get the most out of a video file color wis
