      I prefer to have a softer image that if I want to make sharper then I can do it in post. I would not go down too far, maybe 1 or 2 down from standard.

    I cant decide if I should go with sony 20mm f1.8 or the sony 24mm f1.4 is there a difference in low light performance? Is the f 1.4 worth the extra 1000 dollars over the f1.8 lens ?

    • @BrianTheCameraGuy
      @BrianTheCameraGuy  16 днів тому +1

      I would say if you are not using the lens for vlogging there is something special about the Sony 24mm f1.4 lens. It is just a magical lens.

      I have never used either one of those cameras. Based on what I have heard about them, they are good but the new cameras are better options.

    i have the a7s iii. love it, but not the way Sony has treated me as a purchaser of this flagship device in firmware upgrades or the fact that they came out with the FX3 so soon after. I agree with everything said here, but as a person that was not looking to use this as a "hybrid" camera, and only wanted top-end movie/cinema features, I would not buy this in 2024. I would definitely get the FX3. Sony actually cares about that camera and its status in the camera community. I would not be surprised if they stopped the a7 line altogether now that they know they have engineered a hit with the FX3 line.

    • @BrianTheCameraGuy
      @BrianTheCameraGuy  2 місяці тому +1

      You might be right about the a7s line. I also think that people will be very careful if an siv comes out. They released the fx3 a couple months later. They should release both upgrades at the same time but I am sure they will not.

    These videos make no sense. Of course it is. It is still the best camera Sony has. I would buy a A7SIII over the A7RV., A7iV, ZV-E1, A7CII and FX3. It is just a better camera.
