Still need to learn videography? I made a free 45 minutes video where I explain everything you need to know to get started. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/PxY9SswA5j8/v-deo.html
Dude, you’re the best. Trust me. At this point I have watched about 50 different videos from 20 different creators on cameras for video creation however, your video is the best among all. First of all you rejected the Sony ZEV 10, And then you recommended To go into mid range if someone is using an iPhone and trust me, I was so convinced that I was going to buy Sony ZEV 10. I’m so glad I found your video.
Great overview, just watched it. Happy new year and all the best for 2024👍🏻
Und einen extra Daumen für die Uhr (die mechanische …)😁
Thanks, Happy New year 🥳
This video is way too underrated and extremely helpful. Thank you for all the effort that went in! Especially that you call bad aspects as they are - this is the most important criterium for me. The graphics are also great to get an overview, screenshot or note the options. All the important stuff made compact, amazing! Keep it up :)
Thank you for such a valuable video! That's exactly what I needed. Great comparison and opinions!
Hi, excellent video! After watching your previous video about the X-S20 I decided to buy it, it has many advantages and gives me room to grow in the world of video. I recently purchased the Fujifilm 18-120 f4 PZ zoom. I haven't used it much yet, but I would be interested to know your opinion on this lens. I usually only use prime lenses but I wanted to have an all-in-one solution for travel and the motorized zoom seemed like a good option for video. Thank you for your content, greetings from Argentina!
Very helpful video! Exactly what I needed. Thank you
So I own all of the Nikon Mirrorless cameras and I stayed away from the Z8 because of price but with in three week span I bought two Zf's which now have Smallrig L-Grips, Z8 and a used Z9 and I use the Z8 more that the Z9 because of the weight. Panasonic S5II is two hundred grams less and the Zf is twenty grams lesser but I love the features on the Z8. Also I take my Zf and Zfc everywhere I go. Peter Gregg does the same with the ZV-E1. Cheers!
what do you think bout LUMIX s5II x & s1h?
So Peter Gregg told me that when you do not have a flippy screen on a camera but a tilt screen just make sure the microphone and video is recording then when facing the camera just look at the bulb in the lens and talk to it. That way you are not looking away from the camera and at that flippy screen which people will notice. That is why Casey Neistat wears sunglasses when vlogging. Cheers! BTW make sure when vlogging the lens is wide enough and that it isn't a macro. 😉
Are you sure about this, cause I'm considering getting the fuji xt5 for vlogging
@@23inchesolives84 So can you tell by watching people if they are looking to the side or at the camera. Can you tell if someone is using a teleprompter. I can and it's annoying. That is the point I am making. You have to train yourself to not look at yourself and look at the center of the lens when recording. Just make sure you hit the record button, have your mic plugged into the input all of the way and not in the headphone input. LOL! This User Error Fellow (ME) has done these mistakes many times and You would think after 1600 videos I can get my Act together. Cheers!
Wanting to start filming videos for UA-cam and you just saved me $600… just going to stick with my iPhone 13 Pro Max for now until I can get a mid ranged camera 🤷♂️🙌 I knew this but was being stubborn and needed a reminder to not be stupid. APPRECIATE IT!!! 💖💕💖
I am looking for a camera to make mini music videos or clips for instagram and TikTok. My main option is the ZV-E1. Thoughts?? What should I get??
Amazing Man!! Thanks :)
If you are just beginning I recommend getting the 60D, 70D or 80D. You can get them for about 200-500 euros on the used market and they are great!
Have you had a chance to try out the Sony A7RV? I have the X-H2S but the autofocus has me considering the switch.
at the same price do you suggest XS20 or A6700? i like SOOC film recipes of fuji but prefer sony autofocus
both photo and video paired with sigma 18 50
going to vietnam the XS20 doesnt have weather sealing, is that bad?
Great video as usual. I need a camera for real estate where often I'm in low light. I have the Sony AR111 which I find very disappointing for video so I was looking at the A7iv but have always been drawn to the Fuji X-H2s. Is there much difference in low light performance? Would love your opinion.
Both should be fine if you use fast lenses.
Thanks for your reply, more videos please.
@@pascalbasel
Would love your opinion/a review on the Nikon Zf, it looks so awesome
Would love to test it if Nikon would send one ;-)
not sure why people are such fans of the retro lines the grip on the zf is so so bad why would you want to revert half a decade of ergonomics
What about blackmagic or sigma?
So I do auto detailing and car Audio, looking to get a camera to film some cinematics of my work. What do you recommend? No price range just whatever you recommend!
did you watch the video??
I’m looking my first proper camera for beginner amateur photo/videography, iv narrowed it to the Fuji xs20 and Sony a6700, what would you recommend?
Both are great cameras, just look what specs are more important for you.
you just clutched up for me because i was going to narrow down the $1k-2k cams and i already knew i didnt want the panasonic because its not a good cam if youre moving around while shooting. now time to weigh my options while im in class tmrw lol
I know the GH5 and G9 are old(some of the older models) but they super stack u with some of these especially at their used pricepoint
Yes, they have been far ahead of their time. Just the autofocus lacks a bit.
I’ve commented this on other videos, but if Sony put dual cards in their latest apsc bodies then it’d be a no brainer for me.
Would you put the Canon R50 in this list too?
Learn how to professionaly grade color un davinci resolve and have good glass, buy fx30 and you dont need anything else, amateurs/consumers cant tell apart fx30 to arri or red if graded correctly !
What about canon M50?
Canon R50?
Sony A6400?
Are they good for a first camera for videography?
Which one has a flat profile?
Hi Pascal! Between r6 ii and H2s? For H2s I’m scared on autofocus 😅 for canon I’ m scared of dynamic range and codec but I love the handling! Any suggestions? 😊
It's really up to what you like better. Regarding autofocus on the X-H2S, I just turn eye tracking off but face tracking on and it works great without any issues.
@@pascalbasel thank u!!!🙏
I think i will go to he h2s.. i prefer the r6 ii body and i find it more refined but at the end i think i prefer much more the S35 look and all the video goodies that came with h2s.for the lenses I though to start with 18 and 33 1.4 LM.. have u ever tried? I read that someone had problem with manual focus with these lenses .. any advice? Thanks a lot for your patience. 🙏@@pascalbasel
I got the fuji :) now I just have to commit to telling beautiful stories like you, thank you for the positivity you put in your videos!@@pascalbasel
I was looking for a camera
XT30II and XS10, which one do you choose?
X-S10 as it has IBIS.
I got my Sony A7 RV what about it
S5iiX in semi pro category would have made more sense than the S5ii in the midrange with the much lower priced competition.
Watch what I say in the beginning.
Loved the video concept but how do you leave off the Black Magic Pocket 4k - Full frame 6k? They are the perfect camera for beginner film makers. We’re you only going for hybrid cameras here or am I missing the point of the video? Not trying to be a jerk just thinking if you are targeting beginners the Black Magic line of cinema cameras are the perfect solution for creators. If it’s targeting content creators then I totally get it. If so please disregard my comment. Again, thank you for posting. Aside from my point the video is awesome!
Thank you
I have been looking at the FX30 & A6700 but am going Full Frame that is why I chose the Panasonic S5II. This camera is Sharp and My favorite part is the Real Time LUT feature. I do not really care if there is a Crop in 4K 60 but the nice thing that this camera has is a fan already installed like the FX30 and You know why this feature is important for Me from the two previous comeents I made. Cheers!
What camera and lens you used to shoot this video ?
X-H2S & Viltrox 13mm F1.4
would you say the fuji x100vi is a good video camera in the mid range?
Not really, can’t change lenses, have crops or subsampling etc. I‘ll probably get one but just for fun, photos and as a light travel b-cam but I wouldn’t consider it as a first camera.
Thank you for the quick response! Ill look more into your reccs then :)@@pascalbasel
I found that ZV-E1 with a few lenses was cheaper than the Fuji X-S20 here, at least with the prices in the UK and the premium you pay for X-mount lenses, e.g.
- Sony ZV-E1 - £1.6k + £160 (28-60 kit lens) + £450 (Tamron 17-28) = £2,210
- Fujifilm X-S20 - £1.35k + £252 (18-55 kit lens) + £800 (Tamron 11-20) = £2,402
That's wild, thanks for letting us know 👍🏻
Good to compare also with lenses! Question is lens choice and quality. The Fuji 18-55 is widely regarded as "non kit" quality lens, don't know about the Sony one.
Sony used to have quite more cheaper lens variety, nowadays you have sigma, viltrox and some tamrons on Fuji.
And I bought great Fuji lenses cheap second hand.
Unless wide angle is key I would not see Fuji lagging behind our being more expensive on the same quality but I am interested in other opinions.
I'd say lens choice and quality is really important if one spends already quite some bucks on mid range bodies
ZV-E10 w/ the 10-20mm f/4 lens will give you the expanse with the crop and stabilization on. Wonderful lens in Daylight and Night Time. Cheers!
I will say the the Canon R8 is so Lightweight it is unbelievable. It does overheat but I use it sparingly. It is a great family camera. I have even used the Vello Battery Grip inteded for the Canon EOS RP but works with the R8 which gives longevity with the small batteries. Only problem in using the Third Party Grip is that I had to rig a small piece of cardboard paper into the battery compartment to keep the battery installed. The stem from the Vello did something inside so I have to do this every time when streaming. I have had no problems with the Canon Batteries staying in the compartment. Cheers!
What about sony a7 c mark 2?
Essentially an a7iv for a lower price.
Good stuff, just a bit surprised BMPC6K or the BMCC6K are not here. They are cinema cameras with incredible dynamic range and color. If someone wants to get into the field, they wouldnt have to care so much about their autofocus capability, which is weak. Their value for buck is insane high, murdering most of the cameras on this list. Yes cinema camera, most people might not be interested in that here, but for informational purposes it has to be highlighted. Even amateurs can benefit from it a lot, who are passionate about filmmaking and shooting great videos.
What’s the best music video camera on budget? Someone help with a $1000 budget.
A6400 28-70 lens
Hallo, I hope you can help me! (Bitte! Bin leicht am verzweifeln! :P)
I'm going to travel the world for a whole year and I want to shoot Vlogs, Travel Videos, Interviews and film some schools and crafts around the world.
I do know, that the A7iii is a good Foto and Videocamera, but I dont know if i should upgrade it. My budget is around 3-4k, maybe more, if I could sell my A7iii.
I would mainly focus on Videografie but ofc i would take some fotos.
Which Camera would you Buy?
I was thinking of 3 lenes, 20mm for Vloggins, 20-70mm f2.8 to cover the various other situations.
I really dont know if i should buy a APC Camera, and than buy the lenses, like the FX30 or the Fuji you recommend. PLEEEEAAAASE HELP!!
BIIITTe :D
i wouldnt travel with a full frame camera and lenses, they are too heavy and big
get an A6700 its same sensor as FX30
just buy a oss lens for the ZV E10 and ist the best budget camera. Don´t understand your point
Every budget you say, I was looking for something roughly decent and much lower in price, not all of us have £600 to drop on a camera and are just looking for something small and simple with some decent quality, maybe it's for a one time use on holiday or something or to record your kids playing the back garden for some good memories to look back on in the future.
You have a phone for those cases. The quality of moderns phones is more than good enough for that.
The Z30 is a great camera but where I live it does overheat if you record video for more than 40 minutes in 4k 30. I just did a comparison with the Z30 and the R10 which I own which also includes the ZV-E10 (2ea) they are great cameras. Love the grip and handling for the Nikon and Canon. The R50 which I loved was too small and I kept pressing the wrong button which is the same for the two ZV-E10's. Since I live in a warm climate I bought one ZV-E10 in White color and I get a lot more people interested in the camera when using it. Cheers!
What about the Sony 7cII?
i believe he was just going by what hes done reviews on or was able to use and then speaking generalities. its very easy to forget about the a7cii honestly. a re-packaged a7iv with a few worse features and a few better depending on what you do makes or breaks the deal
@@frostgodx Considering the pricedifference between the A7IV and the A7CII and the compactness of the A7CII it is worth to mention. I use a Lumix S5, but for travel I would use the A7CII without a doubt over any cameras mentioned here. With the new AI AF features and the FF sensor that is a really amazing camera.
@@iammz81 I agree
I love the menus of the S5II and the LCD Screen is much better than any Screen from Sony. The camera is heavy but the metal construction and the fan which is quiet. Lot of features that I am still exploring and learning since I usually use Nikon the most, I also have Sony, Canon too but never used a Fuji. Cheers!
I have a question brother i am beginner and i have no knowledge about camera's but i want to do cinematography plus travel vloging with a good story telling Suggest me please i want to invest my money on iphone or a camera but the condition is i have budget of 750 us dollars please suggest me brother❤️
Just watch the video, he answers your questions there😉
So there are some cameras that are out of my price range but I would like to mention that the Nikon Z6II would be great for Video and streaming. No flippy screen but I did buy me a Hot Shoe Reflector to see the settings and Myself while recording. It is on sale in the US for $1255 from Adorama Used. Cheers!
i think nikon offers atm the best hybrid camera ever. The Z9 is better than the a1 in Videowork. Also the RAW possibility is just next level and you have 45mp for fotos. Yes the Z9 is really big but the z8 it is okay from the formfactor in my opinion. I disagree with the af from nikon you have writed it is not that good as sony and canon but i feel it is better than canon's particularly in videomode.
I was dead set on the canon r8, because I already own a gimbal. But now I’m really second guessing 😭
Why? What camera did u get??
a7siii@@kenduejones
@@ChrisHowell870 how u like it so far?
best video camera ive ever used, period!@@kenduejones
Nice@@ChrisHowell870
Lumix s5iix easy
I'm surprised the X-T4 didn't get a mention over the X-S10. Based on what i've read they're at a similar price point but the X-T4 appears to be superior in terms of specs - whereas the X-S10 seems to be preferred for ease of use.
X-S10 is more optimized for videography, the X-T4 more for photography + X-T4 would be in the next price bracket.
@@pascalbasel That's interesting... I was under the impression the X-T4 was better optimised for video. With 10bit internal recording, F-log and 4k 60fps being the main pros.
I haven't purchased either yet - but looking to upgrade soon. X-S10 is £500ish (used) and X-T4 is £700 (used) in the UK.
@@ItsJordaninnit Oh you're right. It's quite some time ago that U had the X-T4, so I forgot about the 10bit. 700 bucks is a pretty good deal I think, considering I'm not used to pounds.
Iphone 15 pm and s23 ultra is bad in low light 4k 60p sensor is too small as a videographer
Nothing from Blackmagic?
1:30
U forgot to add Lumix s5iix sir😩
It’s the same as S5ii + ProRes. So I didn’t mention that extra. Great camera though.
You already knew about it though. No need to mention it.
We live in a time of great choices.
The S5 is clearly in the wrong bracket.
You didn't look at my message to like almost an hour after I told you
Personally for me, it was a close call between the S5II and the ZV-E1, I think the S5II makes for the greatest value professional studio camera right now. However, if you are a solo creator filming yourself and you also want a camera to take on trips, run and gun, etc without other equipment, the Sony ZV-E1 has some advantages and why I ended up with one:
1. Stabe - stabilisation is not in the same universe, you have motion data for gimbal like in post or dynamic active for straight out of camera, there are no weird corner/image wobbles with wide lenses like on the S5II, it's totally game changing.
2. Autofocus - while the S5II is definitely a huge leap vs the non phase detect systems, the AI chip in the ZV-E1 is something to behold, other than things like animal, bird, insect, etc being much better, it detects a person and face much further, in far more conditions, in low light and it can predict where a person will be to pre-focus there, you can register a face for it to always prioritise (e.g. yourself or a bride), it's incredible. It's hard to use anything else when you've experienced it.
3. Portability - it's tiny, it's smaller than an A7C while giving you the same sensor as the FX3/A7SIII and the same AI chip as the A7R V, that's incredible.
4. Rolling Shutter - 5ms vs 20ms+, it's just a much better camera for hand held non studio stuff, run and gun, etc if you're not using a gimbal - if you are using a gimbal, the S5II crushes it though.
5. Low Light - the second dual native ISO12,800 gives you the same quality and noise levels as ISO640 but with a fraction of the light (tested by CINED), that's insane, that's 4+ stops or 20x less light for the same quality. In terms of practically what it means is you get the same noise with a 20W COB light and some 5W LED lights as a 400W COB light and 100W panel lights - that gives you a lot of flexibility as a solo creator filming in different environments and conditions and allows you to reduce the weight of your kit
6. SlowMo 4K - 4k60 no crop, 4k120 only 10% crop, great for wildlife and sports, very fun to have.
But the S5II has dual card slots, 6K open gate, raw, no overheating, full size HDMI, much better screen, viewfinder, etc, etc, etc - a much better camera in many ways, but ones that may be less important specifically for 1 man content creators, especially on the go, food for thought! :)
The S5 ii/x is more Semi professional than the A7iv😂😂😂
I‘d get this or the S5ii over the a7iv.
The ZV-E1 Active Dynamic Stabilization is second to none
The G9ii has better stabilization with a much smaller crop (10% vs 35%)
So I upgraded to the Canon R6M2 from the R6 because of overheating but still a great camera and tI chose the ZV-E1 over the A7CII since I already owned the A7C. Now I am deciding between the A7IV & A7CII because of the Front and Back Dials. I have small lenses for street photography and do a lot of car vlogging videos which makes the smaller camera more likely. Or I just keep what I already have and look forward to the Big Boys (45 mp and up) Canon R5M2, Sony A7R5. I own the Nikon Z8 & Z9 and are happy with those cameras. Do not care for 8k much but I do downsample quite a bit and at 4k the videos look awesome.
S5ii is best 40 degrees celsius no overheating others trash
So, you wouldn’t buy any of the entry level cameras, because iPhone 15 Pro also takes good enough photos and video. A phone that costs more than double than those cameras. This is how we fell for marketing and are repeating nonsense like a mantra. Now, before you say yeah but the phone also has all kinds of other features and you need a phone. Sure, you need a phone. But you can buy a phone (even iPhone) and one of those cameras, for the same price of an iPhone pro. And you have those two separated. Some downsides of doing any serious videography on your phone is that at any time someone can call you and ruin the video. And if you disable calls during recording, then it defeats the purpose of it being a phone. So, I disagree completely. You should get a cheaper phone and a camera, if you’re doing anything serious enough. And if you aren’t, then you don’t need a pro phone anyway. A non-pro phone will do.
Phones are not professional and they can't be compared
@@serto_art ok? And?
My dad broke his older iPhone 13 Pro and got a 15ProMax, I now own his 15PM and use it to practice and shoot for my instagram profile. It looks good enough for me thanks to it finally not looking like “iPhone footage” with the ugly ass processing, and my parents would NEVER get me a camera for the same price as this phone I’m using.
@@kalelmosaiah your dad’s a sucker falling for “pro” phones.
I think you contradict yourself because your view is skewed since you probably don’t have an iPhone 15 ALREADY. He didn’t say go out and buy an iPhone he said if you’re going to buy a camera in the entry level and have a phone, you might want to try using those top three iPhones first rather than spending what might be a useless expense. If you DON’T have an iPhone that capable, then you’re obviously inclined to buy the entry level cameras….but if you’re doing anything serious, why in the world would you purchase an entry level camera where on some of these you can’t even switch out lenses?
sorry but entry level is under a 1000$ theres nothing taht sounds entry level about that that is a major purschase
