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.

My main question would be why there's 2 lenses there that are essentially doing the same thing. I'd also not bother with a gimbal as a beginner too fwiw and why 2 tripods? The 1DXii was a great camera in its day but it's really starting to show its age now If you're a beginner i'd look at something

Also keep in mind that the FX3 has a 1:1 readout in 4k and the Canon is line skipped. Common misconception about the FX3 (and α7S III, ZV-E1, FX6 that use the same sensor). These cameras actually create their UHD 4K from a ~4.2K oversample, i.e. the full width of the sensor. The Canon oversamples fr

As someone who works with both professionally, I prefer Sony. If I was to start today with a new camera (and a low budget), I’d go with the Sony ZV-E1 just to get that sensor at the lowest price possible. But LUMIX is a fantastic option as well. A GH5 or GH6. A used GH5 might be the best value for a

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

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

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

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
