Truly love my Sony ZV-E10. The rolling shutter was the least of my concern. I had a budget that of $2K for my UA-cam channel. So I bought two ZV-E10’s and got the Sigma trio 1.4 lenses which all together came to $2,100. It does everything I need and much more. Having two cameras is soooooo much more helpful than having one.
out of these sigma trio which one gives best image and video quality in indoor and outside light conditions. which one do you like most of these 3 sigma lenses best suited for sony zv e10 as I was planning to buy sony zv e10 camera but with only one sigma lens so pls say which is best of three. Thanks.
@@PradeepKumar-tq4ev I like all 3 equally and the image quality corner to corner are excellent. I use my 16mm (24mm equivalent due to the 1.5x crop) the most for my UA-cam channel. If I wasn’t doing UA-cam videos I would probably get the 30mm since it’s the cheapest of the 3 lenses and it’s the most versatile focal length.
I am very impressed when someone says that Canon R6 II is semi professional camera . When someone say something like that it must be aware that one lens somewhere in the world broke down immediately. Congrats for your analysis
The FX-30 is a great deal and a good recommendation, since it has the option to have a handle with XLR inputs, something no other camera on this list can do. On the other hand the 3000$+ lineup feels a bit underwhelming since it offers marginal improvements over the semi-pro counterpart for twice the investment. For all that money, companies could include some features professionals need such as XLR inputs on the body, SDI out and built-in ND filters.
A future video comparing DSLR cameras to dedicated video cameras would be interesting. I prefer the dedicated cameras with their power-zoom lenses, XLR audio inputs and (usually) larger and higher quality view screens and viewfinders. I can grab my
Hey Pascal, nice video. I'm guessing you were differentiating between "video" and Film/Cinema cameras. Only reason I make that comment is BMPCC 4K and 6K/G2/Pro were omitted and are insanely good value with arguably better image quality and colour science than most if not all cameras listed. Just curious why cameras like that weren''t included?
wasnt looking to end up on best camera reviews rather watch the video regardless. Very well spoken presentation, myyself as somebody tho completely no idea about learning a thing or two. Cheers
I've spent all day watching videos on the best 4k cameras for live streaming, and I just need some help. My plan is to use it mostly for low light situations at my event space, but also for a conference video and zoom calls. Not very much for filming and pictures. Somethings I would like it to include: • HDMI or micro HDMI video out with at least 4k at 60fps. I've noticed lots of cameras can film at 4k and up, but their hdmi out is only 1080p. • HDR 10 or close. • Good image in low light. I plan on streaming live music and dj sets, and would like it to look pretty good in those conditions. I'd like to keep it under $2000, but I also want a mid tier camera that still going to be decent in 5 years, so any suggestions under $4000 are welcome. I'm currently leaning towards the Sony FX30. Hopefully some of you camera nerds can point this audio nerd in the right direction. Thanks!
The biggest downside to top tier sony cameras is the cost of memory - Tough cfexpress A cards are insanly expensive in comparison to CFexpress cards B for Fuji and Canon. So this is one of the hidden costs nobody talks about when you are starting out with new camera system. Canon and Fuji looses with affordable lens choice, where Sony has a win. So there is always compromise.
I never used CFExpress Type A. Only V90 SD Cards and was even able to record in 4K120P on the A7Siii without any issues. Doesn't seem to be a problem to me.
@@pascalbasel Unless you use a CFexpress card, you cannot record XAVC S-I 4K 120p with your a7S III in S&Q mode. But If you go lover quality then I guess you can use V90
I know virtually nobody that uses the S-I 4k mode. Never bothered with it myself either. All I heard is that even on M1 Macs this is hard to edit. So really not relevant for everyday people.
That fx30 really punches a lot above its price point. Really good specs. Very tempting. I'm going to wait and see what a7c II has to offer and choose then.
I'm sorry, $1000 is not low budget. And also, i feel like you missed the opportunity to talk about used cameras. You can get a fantastic Canon 6D for less than $400, and then you have an ample selection of lenses, which will greatly increased image quality.
I’m sorry that you don’t know anything about cameras. You can look for used on the models he listed genius. Also, if you want low budget junk, go under $500 then. He is giving you good low budget cameras, not junk low budget. It’s not hard to think a little, geez.
The Panasonic S5 does not have full size HDMI port.. however it definitely belongs to at least the Semi-Professional category despite its price, because it has most of the features of the S1 and S1H which is a Netflix approved camera, so if the sensor of the S5 is the same as the sensor of a Netflix approved camera it should be mentioned among at least the Semi-Pro category.
If anyone can offer advice I would be very grateful. I currently use 2 GoPro hero 10's for my UA-cam channel which is for car reviews. I want my first real camera and would like two lenses to start off with, however I don't know where to start. I will be keeping my GoPro hero 10's for action shots (hood, roof, trunk, wheels). I want a great starter camera and lenses for pictures and video. Any suggestions?
I think that the price range should not be a reference for the category. For exemple the xh2s is more for professional than the canon r5 for video, even better than the a7s3 in terme of pro features…but it’s cheaper because of the apsc sensor
You are spot on, Ra. The same could be argued for the category placement of the X-H2 that's pushing out 8K video, more aspect ratios, more codec support, and more pixels... but I guess it's considered a lesser camera because it has an APS-C sensor.
my list of the best cameras in terms of image quality and professional capabilities: $700 - $1000 - used bmpcc4k $1000 - $2000 - new bmpcc4k/6k $2000 - $3000 - bmpcc 6k pro, bmcc 6k $3000 - $4000 - bmcc 6k + accessories $4000 - $5000 - bmcc 6k + more accessories $5000 - $6000 - bmcc 6k + expensive lenses >$6000 - red comodo, canon c70, Sony fx6 etc
UPDATE: The Panasonic S5 ii ( geni.us/IhAOCQj * ) just got released, which comes at $1999 and is very similar to the a7iv plus some extras, such as waveform monitoring etc. A concern with Panasonic in the past has always been autofocus. Luckily, they added phase detect autofocus to the S5 ii, which makes the autofocus finally reliable. According to reviews, it’s still not on the level of Sony and Canon, but very usable. So if you want to save some money compared to the a7iv or you're looking for a great full-frame camera below $2000, check out the Pansonic S5ii. UPDATE 2: Canon announced the R8, which is essentially the same as an R6ii, but without IBIS. Considering that most RF lenses have optical stabilization and the EIS works in conjunction with that, that's actually the best camera body at $1499. I will personally get one as my studio cam and do a review about it as soon as I get it. 4K60 oversampled and full frame for that price is just too good not to buy it ;-) UPDATE 3: Fujifilm released the X-S20 (geni.us/pCoK), which offers 10bit 4K60, IBIS, and Film Simulations and a super small and lightweight body at only $1299! I made a full review of this camera. You'll find it on my channel. It's the camera I can't recommend enough. Best bang for the buck! I've also published a more up-to-date blog post on my website here: pascalbasel.com/blog/the-best-video-cameras-in-2023/
"(...) it’s still not on the level of Sony and Canon (...)" Honestly, after watching all the reviews I'd rather say - "Definitely better than Canon and not far behind Sony". Just a reminder that this is Panasonic's first implementation of PDAF. Also S5II firmware is still in beta stage. Wroth to mention that they'll have enough time to perfect software as well as hardware before S5IIx hits the market in may. S&C will both have really hard time competing with Panasonic in this price range 😎
@@ArturFilipiak Panasonic is very prompt with its firmware updates and very receptive to user feedback. As it finetunes the firmware for autofocus, certainly it will be far more competent in 6 months to a year. The only area it is lagging in today, is in tracking of quick moving subjects.
longshot but deos anyone no if its possible for me to get the SIRUI 35mm F1.8 1.33x M4/3 Anamorphic Lens on my canon 60d really want this lense but cant afford it with a new camera. if not what camera would be the best choice?
@@pascalbasel great video Pascal. Love the H2S, just need them to license Sony's AF. I think it would be a good partnership with Fuji having no interest in FF and Sony not wanting to pursue MF at this time. Obviously they both make a APSC but that is not Sony's main focus.
I've found that the Nikon P1000 (I would never use it for stills due to low quality compared to my D850) with its incredible reach and stability is great for video work. And its reasonably priced even after external Microphones, etc.
Excellent video. I think I'm going with the XH2-S because I just now finally have a few of the new 1.4 primes. Fuji just updated the autofocus in firmware as well. (I think today) Hopefully it'll improve the performance!
Have you done an analysis of the Canon R5C? Also do you think Canon will produce a R6 II Cinema version? Thank you for taking the time to produce these great videos!
I need a new camera for my business. I usually shoot family portraits, just images no video. Light sensitivity and auto focus is very important. Which camera do you recommend? I don't have a ton of money yet. It would be nice if I can use the same lenses on a much more expensive camera of the same brand later.
You can get adapters and converters. It's sometimes better to spend the money on good lenses which will last a lifetime and upgrade your body later. On a low budget get a Canon T2i or a Sony A7. Then upgrade to a higher mark later.
nice video. please have the camera make/model on the screen at all times (along side good and bad)! if i scroll back and forth on the timeline i see the good and the bad info of... which camera? hope makes sense. thank you
Beautiful thing about R10 as of 2023 is that it very often comes bundled with an adapter, like in my case. So the lens issue is really not an issue for many. It is only an issue if you bought the non bundle variant.
Would agree with your resume, but I would pick the X-S10 over the R10 in the low budget range because of IBIS and better lens choices, especially considering that X-Mount will have more budget options from 3rd party manufacturers in the future :) And IBIS is more important than AF. Autofocus you can work around a little bit more imo But overall the FX30 is hard to beat! Or a used XT-4 could be also a great value for money, if more users upgrade to the XT5 and sell their XT4s :)
It definitely depends on what each one values more. It's not really possible to make a suggestion that fits for everyone. The X-S10 with the new Sigma 18-50 is such a nice travel combo ;-)
@@pascalbasel that’s true! Would love if it had been 16mm at the wide end. Because 18mm is always i little tight for vlogging. Same with the 18-55 F2.8-4. But you cannot have it all 😊
I've got the Panasonic S5 and I think it's great but the autofocus issue is really annoying sometimes, even for photography. Now that the S5II is coming I'm super tempted to sell my S5 and get that one instead, I just need to think about it a little longer.
10-bit 422 or better (or at least 10-bit on the black-white channel(DK how this works), I hate blotchy/blocky shadows) FHD 100p (don't care about 4k or even 120p for now) IBIS or no crop DIS Good autofocus No rolling shutter issues (global shutter preferred) Decent lens choices (I really just care about not exorbitantly priced anamorphic availability bigger than 1.33x) Able to record full sensor/in other formats than 16:9 Don't care if it's video only or hybrid Don't care if it's a new/modern camera or an older design. I'm okay buying used, too. I'm okay with needing firmware/software hacks to get this functionality, as long as said hacks actually exist and don't have a huge chance to brick my camera Probably APS-C or FF for low-light capability Lowest price possible with these features What should I buy and/or what do I have to sacrifice?
I would be curious about an opinion on the price difference of the Sony FX30 and Sony A7s3 for videographers and if the price for the a7s3 is justified. Yes its full-frame but how are the actual differences in look when shooting same style challenging light situations.
You need to know. Zoom range vs lower aperture... I shot a whole wedding on a GH5 and Sigma 18-35 and the couple loves the video. So I'd say both are fine.
To me the best video camera at 2000-3000 is the gh6 from panasonic. It has better specs than much more expensive cameras and the image quality is great. Its a complete cinema camera and not a crippled camera like the fx30 that only is a cinema camera by name.
Thanks Pascal for this cool video! I'm a music producer and I want to get a camera to film and take photos of artists in the studio, create content for UA-cam, and streaming, and maybe do some simple videos outdoors. Recording studios are usually a little bit dark. My friend is selling me an A7sll for $600, and I can also get a ZV-e10 for $600. Some of my film and photography director friends recommend the A7sIl, others the zv-e10 and I don't know what decision to make. If it’s possible, I would greatly appreciate your feedback!
This is a great list. However these are heavy to travel with for utube vlogs. Isn't the zv1 with wide angle lens good enough for day based vlogs? Also the S5 mk 2 looks excellent vfm.
You have smooth 24p footage. I've come across a lot of jittery 24p footage where I KNOW the person is using the correct shutter speed, and as such, it is not a factor in the appearance. Would you please be so kind as to give me an exhaustively detailed breakdown of your entire recording, editing, exporting, and uploading chain? Exact camera, settings, codecs, bit rate, editing software and timeline setup, what you do in the editing, exporting file type and codec, and upload to youtube settings? ((And anything else I missed that you can think of)) I need to know from someone who is doing it right so that I don't make the mistakes others are making. The most annoying thing is jittery 24p footage.
I'm conflicted, I dont know if i should get the FX3 as my first video/cinema camera. I have a photo camera which is the a7r3 paired with 24-70 2.8 GM and 70-200 2.8 GM.
zv-e10, still best budget camera 2023. Sony's product design generally are thought through better than Canon, and certainly the rest of the market. Each of zv-e10, zv-e1, fx30, a7iv, FX3, a7siii etc. are somehow just a bit better than the competition in each of the segment they target. I came to appreciate this more, as I use them, and then just realize it somehow made more correct tradeoff choices than the competition.
I am bit more inclined toward photography, want to shoot video now as well . How is xt5/xt4 (considering price)? Or any other suggestions Currently using Nikon D7200
Complete novice here.. just now looking into video cameras seriously for the first time. Does the Blackmagic 6K Pro not make this list for any particular reason? Just looking at the specs, it seems to be a contender, and as a still photographer with a ton of Canon EF lenses, it looks like it might be something I'd consider.
I didn't include cinema cameras here as they are for people that already know what they need/want + they are more difficult to use and need rigging up.
The 6K pro and 6K also has pretty bad rolling shutter from the reviews I’ve seen. If you really want to shoot raw I’d go with a Sony and an external recorder or save up and expense a red Komodo or get a c300 or c500
@Pascal Basel Hey i have a question.. i searching a Compact Camera for Travelling ( maybe -800 bucks).. i heard alot of the Canon G7x mk2 or 3 can u say something good about those? :) thx (sry english not my native language...^^)
I don't really know much about cameras where i am a beginner but my professional friend said that the Sony A6400 is still worth it in a low-mid range budget price. is it true or not?
longshot but deos anyone no if its possible for me to get the SIRUI 35mm F1.8 1.33x M4/3 Anamorphic Lens on my canon 60d really want this lense but cant afford it with a new camera. if not what camera would be the best choice?
I was confused by the R5 information. The R5 (and now R6 II) have the fastest readout of any non stacked sensor and have slightly lower rolling shutter than the A7SIII. Also for low light, the R5 is cleaner than the A7SIII up to ISO 12800. The A7SIII only becomes cleaner at 12800 and above when the dual base ISO kicks in.
The rolling shutter is better on the a7Siii. I used this camera for over a year and know it in an out. True R5 is cleaner below 12800 but considering that the a7Siii performs better at 12800 makes it the better low light camera.
@@pascalbaselecause people rarely will use above 12800 iso on a camera, R5 is a better low light camera than Sony. I remember when I needed 12800 iso was only one time in 2,5 years, and that was to a music video in the middle of the night, in a dark forest. But normally, weddings, music videos, and general filmmaking you don’t need that high iso if use fast lenses and of course lighting.
Correction: Fx30 has FHD 240p In my opinion biggest limitation of FX30 is not crop at 120. But the 78.5% crop with external RAW. Just nobody is talking about it.
@@pascalbasel I realised it now. I was surprised that Sony can get away with that even though XH2S (cheaper in Switzerland) and BMPCC 6K does this or even GH6. Then again Sony’s marketing department is is way too strong.

Have you done an analysis of the Canon R5C? Also do you think Canon will produce a R6 II Cinema version? Thank you for taking the time to produce these great videos!
The new $2000 full frame Panasonic Camera is also pretty good
The S5 has a micro HDMI, just fyi. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
I need a new camera for my business. I usually shoot family portraits, just images no video. Light sensitivity and auto focus is very important. Which camera do you recommend? I don't have a ton of money yet. It would be nice if I can use the same lenses on a much more expensive camera of the same brand later.
You can get adapters and converters. It's sometimes better to spend the money on good lenses which will last a lifetime and upgrade your body later. On a low budget get a Canon T2i or a Sony A7. Then upgrade to a higher mark later.
nice video. please have the camera make/model on the screen at all times (along side good and bad)! if i scroll back and forth on the timeline i see the good and the bad info of... which camera? hope makes sense. thank you
Just a note, in you blog article, the Canon R8 section is embedded into the Lumix S5 section, so it's not visible unless clicking on the S5 section
Thanks for telling. I just fixed it.
I'm alarmed at the lack of gh6
Beautiful thing about R10 as of 2023 is that it very often comes bundled with an adapter, like in my case. So the lens issue is really not an issue for many. It is only an issue if you bought the non bundle variant.
I think the other part to add is that it uses the RF mount so you can use the Full-Frame RF lenses still.
u could check compair video and u will find out r10 or even r7 got worse dinamic rang + iso when compair other brand
Xt4 🔥
im a sucker for film emulation, so i think ill go for fuji this time, ill come back to you next time sony
What about Sony A6400?
good 30mins of review incl sonny FX30 etc.
Would agree with your resume, but I would pick the X-S10 over the R10 in the low budget range because of IBIS and better lens choices, especially considering that X-Mount will have more budget options from 3rd party manufacturers in the future :) And IBIS is more important than AF. Autofocus you can work around a little bit more imo
But overall the FX30 is hard to beat! Or a used XT-4 could be also a great value for money, if more users upgrade to the XT5 and sell their XT4s :)
It definitely depends on what each one values more. It's not really possible to make a suggestion that fits for everyone. The X-S10 with the new Sigma 18-50 is such a nice travel combo ;-)
@@pascalbasel that’s true! Would love if it had been 16mm at the wide end. Because 18mm is always i little tight for vlogging. Same with the 18-55 F2.8-4. But you cannot have it all 😊
Great detailed presentation. Thanks
I've got the Panasonic S5 and I think it's great but the autofocus issue is really annoying sometimes, even for photography. Now that the S5II is coming I'm super tempted to sell my S5 and get that one instead, I just need to think about it a little longer.
I have the nikon z6 as well but I'm planning to sell it and get the panasonic s5II. I'm mainly for video and I think that's a whole upgrade.
S5 mark 2 will be the best one for 2023
10-bit 422 or better (or at least 10-bit on the black-white channel(DK how this works), I hate blotchy/blocky shadows)
FHD 100p (don't care about 4k or even 120p for now)
IBIS or no crop DIS
Good autofocus
No rolling shutter issues (global shutter preferred)
Decent lens choices (I really just care about not exorbitantly priced anamorphic availability bigger than 1.33x)
Able to record full sensor/in other formats than 16:9
Don't care if it's video only or hybrid
Don't care if it's a new/modern camera or an older design. I'm okay buying used, too.
I'm okay with needing firmware/software hacks to get this functionality, as long as said hacks actually exist and don't have a huge chance to brick my camera
Probably APS-C or FF for low-light capability
Lowest price possible with these features
What should I buy and/or what do I have to sacrifice?
Thanks for the info Pascal. 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻
what about cannon r5c ????
Hey Pascal what is the better low budget camera for filmmaking ?
I would be curious about an opinion on the price difference of the Sony FX30 and Sony A7s3 for videographers and if the price for the a7s3 is justified. Yes its full-frame but how are the actual differences in look when shooting same style challenging light situations.
I love these videos, thank you!
Thank you for this video!! What camera did you use to film this video?
Thanks, Canon R6ii
Nikon Z9 for the win.
True that.
Best vidoe about cameras on UA-cam❤
Nice video, thanks for the recommendations
Great video Arnold. 😁
would you recommend fx30 with sigma 1.8 18-35 with mc-11 or sigma 2.8 16-50 e mount for wedding videos?
You need to know. Zoom range vs lower aperture... I shot a whole wedding on a GH5 and Sigma 18-35 and the couple loves the video. So I'd say both are fine.
To me the best video camera at 2000-3000 is the gh6 from panasonic. It has better specs than much more expensive cameras and the image quality is great. Its a complete cinema camera and not a crippled camera like the fx30 that only is a cinema camera by name.
Thanks Pascal for this cool video! I'm a music producer and I want to get a camera to film and take photos of artists in the studio, create content for UA-cam, and streaming, and maybe do some simple videos outdoors. Recording studios are usually a little bit dark. My friend is selling me an A7sll for $600, and I can also get a ZV-e10 for $600. Some of my film and photography director friends recommend the A7sIl, others the zv-e10 and I don't know what decision to make. If it’s possible, I would greatly appreciate your feedback!
I dont know how this happened but it looks like the first viewer of this video :)
Likely through a playlist or link from the old video. I already did that before publishing it ;-)
Then I must be second 😛
Camcorder has it all you need. These hybrids are just leading to the money and lens rapid hole.
Sure, that’s why everyone uses camcorders 🙄
@@pascalbasel people eats what capitalism feeds
Would you recommend Panasonic GH5 in 2023?
This is a great list. However these are heavy to travel with for utube vlogs.
Isn't the zv1 with wide angle lens good enough for day based vlogs?
Also the S5 mk 2 looks excellent vfm.
X-S10 is very light for travel. S5ii is indeed a very good value camera. Just came out after the video.
@@pascalbasel Thanks. What about the zv1 or Nikon z30? I just saw a video where the z30 might have advantage over zve10
Z8 is good for a filmmaker or better choose fx3 or r5c?
You have smooth 24p footage. I've come across a lot of jittery 24p footage where I KNOW the person is using the correct shutter speed, and as such, it is not a factor in the appearance. Would you please be so kind as to give me an exhaustively detailed breakdown of your entire recording, editing, exporting, and uploading chain? Exact camera, settings, codecs, bit rate, editing software and timeline setup, what you do in the editing, exporting file type and codec, and upload to youtube settings? ((And anything else I missed that you can think of))
I need to know from someone who is doing it right so that I don't make the mistakes others are making. The most annoying thing is jittery 24p footage.
For 1500 usd Canon r8 is great, its very similar to canon r6 mk ii but in different body
I'm conflicted, I dont know if i should get the FX3 as my first video/cinema camera. I have a photo camera which is the a7r3 paired with 24-70 2.8 GM and 70-200 2.8 GM.
Why did you not recommend the R5C? I'm not understanding that. 😊
I'm surprised you did not include the Panasonic GH5 or the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4k which both shoot in 4k raw.
I mentioned the GH5 and why I didn't include cinema cameras.
@@pascalbasel Oh ok. There was a part I missed because I got a phone call. I will have to watch it again.
S5 II for the win
zv-e10, still best budget camera 2023. Sony's product design generally are thought through better than Canon, and certainly the rest of the market. Each of zv-e10, zv-e1, fx30, a7iv, FX3, a7siii etc. are somehow just a bit better than the competition in each of the segment they target. I came to appreciate this more, as I use them, and then just realize it somehow made more correct tradeoff choices than the competition.
low sir how to avail your courses im from philippines?
Wow, very informative and you look good in the eye too..hahaha
For Panasonic Lumix S5, 1st point on The Good, The Bad sections are same right?-
What do you think about the canon eos r do you think it’s still good
Gutes Video, hat mir sehr geholfen:)
This video is great guide.
Thank you!
Canon R6ii & R5
What is a good solution for super wide (e.g. around 20mm) with good stabe and no weird corner wharping/wobbling? (other than action cam that is)
Is camera weight really not a factor to consider especially when you're vlogging?
My vlogging setup is 1.5kg. If you want less, use a wide prime lens instead of a zoom or a zoom with higher aperture such as F4.
I am bit more inclined toward photography, want to shoot video now as well . How is xt5/xt4 (considering price)? Or any other suggestions
Currently using Nikon D7200
Both great cameras, however I‘d actually prefer the Xt4 for video as it doesn’t crop.
Somewhere along the way,is also the Sony A9 mk2
Good photo camera but outperformed for video by similarly priced cameras mentioned here.
How about right now do you consider the a6700?
We’re a year later, what changes on that list in Oct 2023?
V good video, plz advice me best photo camera for wedding videography under 1500 US$, old or new one, plz reply.
Complete novice here.. just now looking into video cameras seriously for the first time. Does the Blackmagic 6K Pro not make this list for any particular reason? Just looking at the specs, it seems to be a contender, and as a still photographer with a ton of Canon EF lenses, it looks like it might be something I'd consider.
If I had to wager a guess, it would be the lack of autofocus and the micro 4/3s sensor size. Just a guess.
@@thez28camaroman the 6k pro is s35, not m4/3. The 4k is m4/3
I didn't include cinema cameras here as they are for people that already know what they need/want + they are more difficult to use and need rigging up.
@@pascalbasel Ah, gotcha! Makes sense. Thanks!
The 6K pro and 6K also has pretty bad rolling shutter from the reviews I’ve seen. If you really want to shoot raw I’d go with a Sony and an external recorder or save up and expense a red Komodo or get a c300 or c500
@Pascal Basel Hey i have a question.. i searching a Compact Camera for Travelling ( maybe -800 bucks).. i heard alot of the Canon G7x mk2 or 3 can u say something good about those? :) thx (sry english not my native language...^^)
I don't really know much about cameras where i am a beginner but my professional friend said that the Sony A6400 is still worth it in a low-mid range budget price. is it true or not?
For Stills yes. For video AX43 is better and cheaper. Do UA-cam search ax43 vs a6400.
How about sony a6600?
No 10bit, no 4K60, old sensor… not worth it.
Good video 👍 love from India
Want to focus on still videos so mainly tripod work is the fx30 good place to start ?
The FX30 is a good place to start for everything
longshot but deos anyone no if its possible for me to get the SIRUI 35mm F1.8 1.33x M4/3 Anamorphic Lens on my canon 60d really want this lense but cant afford it with a new camera. if not what camera would be the best choice?
I am running a city walk channel. Can you suggest specifically something for that please.
I was confused by the R5 information. The R5 (and now R6 II) have the fastest readout of any non stacked sensor and have slightly lower rolling shutter than the A7SIII. Also for low light, the R5 is cleaner than the A7SIII up to ISO 12800. The A7SIII only becomes cleaner at 12800 and above when the dual base ISO kicks in.
The rolling shutter is better on the a7Siii. I used this camera for over a year and know it in an out. True R5 is cleaner below 12800 but considering that the a7Siii performs better at 12800 makes it the better low light camera.
@@pascalbaselecause people rarely will use above 12800 iso on a camera, R5 is a better low light camera than Sony. I remember when I needed 12800 iso was only one time in 2,5 years, and that was to a music video in the middle of the night, in a dark forest. But normally, weddings, music videos, and general filmmaking you don’t need that high iso if use fast lenses and of course lighting.
No
thinking about the Sony A7siii.. but i assume that there is something coming new this year. Shall i wait ?!
I don't think there will be an a7Siii this year. It's still a top of the line camera and does everything anyone really needs for video. Just get it.
@@pascalbasel pascal, thank you. I will get it ✌️
LOVE my a7Siii!!!!!
Very cool vdo kraab.
Correction:
Fx30 has FHD 240p
In my opinion biggest limitation of FX30 is not crop at 120. But the 78.5% crop with external RAW. Just nobody is talking about it.
Thanks, my mistake. I don’t think many people shoot raw in that price range. But sure full sensor would be better.
@@pascalbasel I realised it now. I was surprised that Sony can get away with that even though XH2S (cheaper in Switzerland) and BMPCC 6K does this or even GH6. Then again Sony’s marketing department is is way too strong.
@@ModernMallus And the S5 does it as well, 5.9K prores raw no crop.
@@iammz81 Yes and that image looks beautiful too. Great value. I think a lot of Wippe including me are captives of AF. Else it is easier to switch.
@@ModernMallus I have a Panasonic S5 now coming from the Nikon Z50 and the S5 beats Nikon with AF capabilities, at least the Z50 is inferior.
