    CAT says make it 9 since I have 9 lives. I have used A7R4 and also A7R2, I will say 61MP on A7R4,R5 and CR is worth it. I also have the higher resolution GFX but it is a bit too slow, I can forgive it for the stunning picture quality. I have no brand loyalty so my next camera is going to be Nikon Z8. On the Sony I like to know why they don't make a sensor shield, you know the thing that cover sensor when you power off your camera. I think 42mp sensor that went into A7R2, R3 is great why not making a new camera with that sensor. I also have GAS problem but with cameras I usually skip the mid generation models, it just appears to me that they don't represent major upgrade from the models they are replacing. For example A7R4 to A7R3 and A7R5 to A7R4, in the Fuji's GFX100Sii and GFX100S, there are improvement in the models but there are enough improvement to sell the old for the new with extras thousand. I don't buy newly release camera because I know the camera price drop as much as 25% a year after their initial release.

    GAS is so real. As a professional musician, making a living in this industry can be challenging to say the least. Fortunately, pianos (acoustic and digital) can be pricey and take up a lot of room so that keeps me from constantly buying and updating them. However, being an audiophile and a lover of IEMs (in-ear monitors), they take up little room and it’s very easy to buy them thinking that somehow, every one you buy will sound “better” than the previous one you purchased. And I’m not even going to talk about ear tips and cables, and plug types…and DACs…and amps…and dac/amps….and lossless files……😫.

    Late to the vid, but I just traded the A7IV for an A7R5 and it’s everything I wanted the A74 to be… here’s the coolest thing to me… I just bought a mini MF, FF, and APSC all in one… same for the A7RC. Being able to snag 26mp in Crop mode has revolutionized my lens collection. My 50-400 can now reach ~600mm in Crop mode, etc. Every lens has a 2nd option for me now. Amazing for travel etc… gives my smaller lenses more reach. To my eyes the downsampled 26mp look better than 24-26mp dedicated sensors on other platforms. As a guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist, graphic artist, and photographer, I get your GAS (and agree with how it steals time from the craft)… thankful we have 6 children to keep it in check :).

    Markus of Markuspix primarily uses the RX100 for video (he has three of them). He is a visual artist by trade so he is very sensitive to color imbalances in the sensor.

    Funny. An iPhone 15 Pro Max in a rig with Blackmagic or Apple ProRes does a heck of a lot. Doesn’t even need external mics for most uses as the stereo mics zoom with the lens.
    My new Fuji X100VI is also a great ‘keeper’.
    Never understood the Sony thing amongst younger users.
    Canon is the top pro camera gear of choice for a reason, DSLR or mirrorless.
    The L glass is stunning and has been for decades.
    On a recent trip to China I was with a pro photographer. He only had an R5, a 50mm 1.2 L and a 16-35mm 2.8L. His images were superb quality. He thought my X100VI was about 85% of the quality and great for travel work.
    He had tried Sony but junked it. Build quality, reliability, lens resolution……all worse than Canon pro.
    Maybe a Q3 would be a pro alternative but far less versatility than his minimalist travel kit.

I needed to be able to do exposure bracketing, and i need to be able to take my images up to 12000x9000 for some of the sales I do.

    I keep my gas somewhat in check by playing with older high end camera bodies and vintage lenses.

Of course if money was no issue, I would probably also get that A7CR... I'd love a more compact body with all the latest features (one thing that sold me on the high resolution bodies is that you can use APSC mode with a decent megapixel count or even use APSC lenses for the lightest travel setups).

Maybe because its capable not cool sometimes feel its under-appreciated, however it costs less than the likes of Leica, gets the job done and you can take it anywhere

    I'm in an endless cycle of GAS. It's a camera, then a lens, then a guitar, then a bass, then new lighting, then microphones, then bags to carry it all, then it comes back around and it's a camera again, and then a lens... and then a guitar.... I'm so proud when I'm able to talk myself OUT of something because it's so rare. The only silver lining is that I really hold myself to buying things used, and can generally flip them for the same price so it's not a big money waster but I've absolutely wasted so much TIME that could be spent creating things. Ugh.

    bicycles and motorbikes are also the same. the GAS is severe. started from replacing small parts, then turns to modding small parts, then larger and larger parts, then you change frame, then you MAKE frame, after few years you have a full fledged bike repair facility

    I grabbed an a7c for basically the same reasons as an all the time purse camera and I absolutely love it. Once I can get an a7cr used for a reasonable price I’ll Absolutely upgrade to it. I think the 24-50 is an amazing lens combo on my a7c, it should be even better on the cr.

    well if staying in the sony ecosystem is important, the a7c series make sense. just like what Becki from Becki and Chris did when she chose to get one because it is a much more manageable size and making it feel less of a chore to carry = using it more. But but if you are open to other system, well the x100Vi would be a much greater everyday carry camera although it's APSC and the lens is not wide, it does have IBIS and 40MP though. (and presume if you could still get in the preorder and wait for it to actually arrive). Another great option is the nikon zf with it's 40mm compact lens, but then again 24mp and not a wide lens.
    As a fuji user myself, i still feel that the A7C series is rather clunky mainly due to the lenses being big and they felt imbalance to me but then again friend's around me don't really have a lighter compact lens for me to try. lugging around my X-T4 with my 33mm lens does feels clunky to me as well a time but i do not have the funds for X100Vi and my hands are too shaky to use X100v without IBIS. (i am spoilt by ibis)

    GAS is about overthinking stuff... it kills me sometimes. But to give you my opinion: I don't think the A7CR is worth it, if you have the Q2. The video on the iPhone is so good, that I think, you should stay with your Q2 for photos.

    I still fight with G.A.S. and I'm retired! I literally bought a little Smoke Ninja and I'm retired. You don't need the camera... FYI the DJI Pocket 3 is the best little camera I have! We went on a trip and I took iPhone, Pocket 3 and X4 nothing big and it was great. But if you go someplace like Biltmore Estate Break out the A74 and the 35-150 Tamron!!!

  • @potsu5632

    I mean the a7s3 didn't look that much bigger... I feel like the bigger question is what lens to take on those easy going trips.
    (Also the Iphone looked good in all scenarios except with the harsh backlight. Not enough dynamic range for Iphone or h.265?)

    GAS isn't anything new. I had an awesome stereo setup in college and the smallest collection of music to play on my awesome stereo. I still love recording and editing on my TEAC 4-channel tape deck. I loved Nikon and Leica glass, but I always had some excuse (usually $$$ related) for a different system. Would have loved a 2 1/4 format Hasselblad back in the day. I've collected digital cameras from the early days, but got annoyed at how fast the SLR technology was advancing so I refused to "Buy Now" knowing in a year I'd wish I'd waited. I finally bought a Sony Alpha 500 rationalizing I didn't need video, I was a "purist" just wanting to take pictures. I wish I'd waited another year and got something to capture video with.
    As for the iPhone for video, well, you can tell by my other references I'm from an older generation. I spend a LOT of time talking on the phone. It is the most annoying thing to be recording a video on the phone and have a call come in - which seems to happen pretty often to me - so, as good as the phone camera is, the device is still a PHONE!! It is for talking on! And, as you point out, you can fill the phone memory pretty fast with high quality video, so, no, I don't want to rely on my phone for video.
    I'm in the market for a new camera, but, I just can't decide what my priorities are. Compact and convenient is pretty high on the list. Carrying a bag with two camera bodies, a couple of flashes and a set of 3 or 4 lenses got old a long time ago. Modern still photo setups like the pro's use for conferences, weddings and events are crazy big. I'm not a pro. I just want something basic, but I want to be able to mount bigger glass when I want it. Thanks for giving me a new acronym I can use to rationalize my dilema. Here's to having GAS.

  • @MaheerKibria

    GAS is a real problem. Forums don't fix it it makes it worse because of FOMO. If it didn't convince you after renting it you don't need it.

  • @MKNYC_
    @MKNYC_ 4 місяці тому

    I bought an A7CII to be my main camera (minus important events where I need two cards) and it just didn't fit the bill for portability. I don't have tiny sony lenses I have large primes, and i'm not willing to spend more money on lenses that I don't actually like that much. Plus I needed a camera that would give me great JPEGs, and the files that come SOC just aren't good enough, and don't transfer easily to my phone.
    So I got an X100V, and that fits the bill as my every day/walk around camera.
    I gave into the gas. Twice.

    we defiantly need to be talking about GAS more, its been a real problem for me in my creative journey over the years, getting in the way of actually doing the thing its great for the fearful avoidance in me. iv been working for the last 10 years or so now on what I'm calling Essentialism in my setup where I have my core stuff but my general rule is now. use it or lose it. iv sold a lot of stuff over the last 2 years and it has made life much easer. do I need 20 pedals when 5 pedals and a laptop can do everything creatively that I want? at what point does having more things to learn to use become a distraction from creating and productivity rather than an aid to it. Working in audio, music, video and photography my wishlist for stuff will always be a thing but these days I'm limiting my self to maybe one or two purchases a year and generally also getting rid of a few things as my setup evolves to suit me needs. best lesson iv learned is that productivity and creativity are often enhanced by subracting and limiting options rather than adding. my moto is Simplify to find the sweet spot where work can flow. Getting in the weeds with tech or thinking about how much better this could be with this new tech, can all really divert me anyway from my original creative intent.. anyway. i really want that gretch guitar you have there.. beautiful! oh and a new Camera so I can crop more.. that can do the thing ,, that thing that I need to do now.
    to Sara recamera: I mean I'm sure you should get it if. you sell some other stuff that you don't use, the other camera you talked about never using in the video. that's what 1/3rd of the cost right there? i don't know but I'm sure you could find most of the cost in things to sell that you don't use. :) and then I think loving the stuff we are actually using is important so balance GAS with essentailism what we don't use we sell so we can play with the cool stuff we will use. that's my solution anyway.

    I also play guitar so I definitely understand. I don’t know a lot about cameras, but I always hear people talking about the best guitarist can make any guitars sound how they want it to And I think, regardless of what camera you have you create incredible content, so instead of approaching it from the angle of necessity look at it as a treat it’s OK to have things you want sometimes so I would suggest setting goals and using those things as rewards, but acknowledging that a camera is only as good as the person behind it I think your channel is amazing though so keep at it

Always be learning. GAS smells. LOL. Continued success Sara. Thanks for all your content.

    Nice Gretsch! Let me tell you, if you're a guitar lover you have an even bigger problem than camera love! And, now that I know you have guitars I really would love to see some guitar videos. I have a few myself. My long time friend is my 1970-71 Gibson LP Deluxe Goldtop. That was my band guitar. I also have a 1984 American Standard Strat and an Epiphone Sheraton that was a 50th birthday gift from my family. I only have one amp now. But, it's the one I've had the longest, my Music Man 120 and the 2-12 cabinet. I actually traded my 1973 or 74 Telecaster for it back in 1980ish. Got the Goldtop back then as well. Oh well, sorry for the guitar rant, but you started it!! LOL! Let see some guitars!!!! BTW, your baby is so beautiful. This video flashed me back to walking around with my children at that age using our Baby Bjorn. Loved that thing!! Have a great week and Rock On!!

    get rid of the a7cr, zv1 and a7iv (if you don't have a strict use for it or don't rely on the dual sd slots) and replace it with a7cii since it'd fill multiple spots (photo/compact/webcam/b-cam/gas-vaccine/fuck-around-cam). then use the leica/rx100 for daily stuff (personally, i like to keep pictures/phone separate hence the rx100 suggestion) except now you'll have a compact interchangeable lens camera as well for when you crave it. i feel like you might be forgetting/underestimating how much 33mp actually is.
