Thank you everyone for watching, and Happy New Year! 🎉 I just wanted to address a couple of errors I made in the video: 1️⃣ The Canon G7X Mark III is actually around $1,500, which I feel is a bit much for beginner content creators. Instead, I recommend going for the Sony ZV-E10 if you’re just starting out-it’s more budget-friendly and still delivers amazing results. 2️⃣ The price of the Sony ZV-E1 is $2,200, not $2,800. For high-end creators, I’d actually recommend stepping up to the Sony FX3 instead if you’re looking for a true professional-grade camera. Thanks again for tuning in, and let me know if you have any questions about these cameras! 🚀
I just started building a rig around my Lumix G95 which I love the picture on. I've been debating going the Sony route of the ZV-E10 or the A6400. Still, I want the flexibility of long record times and I just am not sure based on other reviews if I want to deal with the possibility of a Sony overheating on me if I don't have an external cooling fan.
The Sony ZV-E10 is an amazing option and also the A6400 I lowkey feel is one of the biggest steals on the market. You can find one for like 500 - 600 used.
@ I used it for a few moths and I never had a problem. One of my boys has one and he never complains about it. I know he uses it all the time. Since it’s not that expensive I’d recommend you buy it new just to ensure you get a good model.
@@juliandavis6140 this is a great option especially on a budget. A few years ago I used to rock the EOS R when it first came out. It was fire 🔥. I know the color science and image quality is good.
@@dosfeos I actually really like the fx30 and I also owned it for about 6 moths. I considered putting it as the best budget camera for videographers but the price is a little high for people that’s really on a budget and I wanted to have options for everyone. Then I considered it for budget level for filmmakers but for the price of the black magic being able to shoot raw and pro res for only 900 was way to much of a steal. I guess the fx30 would be honorable mention. It’s great and amazing it at the same time it either is over priced for the budget range and for the mid range there are also cameras that beat it in my opinion. If you decided to go with it you wouldn’t regret it. I would pick the A7iv over it just because of the fact that it shoots full frame and it takes amazing stills and it has amazing image quality. Great question though honestly the fx30 is a camera that could easily be on this list. It’s a preference thing.
That’s another camera that could have made the list but honestly comparing the price to value just couldn’t put it in front of a budget camera like the zve10 and then at the mid range it doesn’t compete with the Sony A7iv. But at the end of the day the Sony A6700 might fit your specific needs and maybe it’s the Best Buy for you. When making a video like this and trying to remove all emotions and just be real on value to price cameras like the fx30 and a6700 are great options but for more niche cases. If you are a videographer and you are not really a beginner and want that 4k 60 and you only have 1500 and you can’t squeeze that extra 500 for something like the A7iv then I’d recommend the A6700 or fx30 If you already own a main camera and you are looking for the perfect b cam the fx30 works great with the fx3 and fx6 Making this list was hard because some good cameras just wouldn’t make the cut. But let me know what you go with! 🙏🏿
Jokes on you, I buy old, janky and hard to work around cameras because by the time I get one with all the bells and whistles I'll be better than people that rely on them (looking at you Sigma FP with your unusable autofocus and god awful banding)

4:42 The Sony a7iv is a dope camera. I’ve mines since 2021. The 7K down sample sensor is money!!! 🔥🔥🔥
@@cityboichef it’s money! Question, is it 7k? I thought it was a down sampled 6k sensor.
Currently trying to sell/trade my fx30 for an a7iv 😂 I just can’t with the crop sensor and limited photo availability
Great video, keep up the work mate!
@sycsempertyrranus thank you so much! This means a lot 🙏🏿
What do you recommend for a person starting out photography as in learning all new. Also in a budget

@@damianotchere I'd probably still go ZV-E10 simply for the flexibility of the tilt-rotate screen lol. Have you had any overheating issues so far?

Canon r6 mark ii has been great for me.

What your thoughts on the sony fx30? I seen you didnt mention it

Man I appreciate the breakdown of this, this was my next question as well this vs the a7iv I've been in between the two of them.
@ no problem. I’d definitely go with the A7iv 💯💯
No a6700?

Do you think there will be a huge price drop this year for some camera?
@@Cutsii when the a7V gets released the Sony a74 will get a nice price drop. That’s the first camera that comes to mind.

I shot with black magic for 3 years. I love racking focus myself. What old camera are you using right now?
Pocket 4k is a monster. Canon 1dxmk2 .. varicams were like 20k now they are 2k on eBay lol
