What's the new sought after cameras today?

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

RE VIDEOGRAPHY

When shooting listing videos with my Sony ZV-E1 (Same sensor and processor as the FX3 or A7SIII) and either my Viltrox 16MM F1.8 for the majority of the shots or my Tamron 28-75 F2.8 for detail shots, I typically shoot in 4K60, so depending on the lighting conditions in each room, I'll typically sho

Canon 1DX II video setup — still relevant in 2025 for €4200?

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

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

What are you using to film your videos? Smartphone or DSLR?

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

FX3 or A7V as someone transitioning from photos to video

I own FX3, ZV-E1, A7iv and the new A7v. Damn. Leave some for the rest of us! After some testings and a few field gigs, the A7v certainly has the better sony Autofocuse system The ZV-E1 has the AI autofocus. Are you saying the A7V is noticeably better again? How’s it better if so? and just like most

FX3 or A7V as someone transitioning from photos to video

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 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
