      Hi there! I really enjoyed your video, I'm from Panama (The country) and I was thinking abt a A6000, but it's getting really hard to get one in a good price, I just got an offert of a DSC-HX400V for 200$... I just want something to start with photography in manual, do you think this HX400V is worth it? I like the 10 fps shutter speed and the lens lenght up to 1,200 mm! Thanks again for the video it was really helpful!

    I started with the NEX-3, immediately "upgraded" to NEX-3N, and now happy with ZV-E10, was thinking of getting a6700 or FX30, but instead bought a new lens, the mythical Sony 90mm Macro.
    Any recommendations for beginners and intermediate lens, primes and kits?

      Do you recommend the ZV-E10 for a beginner?, and I wanted to know if the zv-e10 is good at photography?

    • @TheKocton
      @TheKocton Рік тому

      @billybaires9469 Yes, especially if you don't want to deal with used equipment and have the money. The ZVE10 has a mechanical shutter, and lowlight performance is quite good. IMO it's the best budget hybrid (photo and video) camera in Sony APSC. The a6700 is the best APSC, but it's more expensive.
      If you only intend to use it for outdoor photos and not video, maybe the a6500 or 6400 would be better options, but more expensive than ZV-E10.
      If budget is a concern and you only want to do photos and not video, a6000 is more than enough, also 6100.

    Great and honest, realistic list. I own an A7 III, A6700 as well as an A5100. You took the words from my mouth haha. Also, great timing for this video because I'm just about to have a consulting session with an aspiring UA-camr, their first camera after an iPhone … So my tips will be A5100, then A6700. If the budget is an issue then A5100 and investing in Sigma 16mm f1.4 That combo is unstoppable for the money. Then the A6700 if they decide to invest more in a camera than lighting ( or if we find a good solution for that..) Thanks for the inspiration!

    Thank you for this informative video. I actually have 2 new channels. I vlog for one, and the other is a purely beauty content focused channel. I've been doing a lot of research lately. I want to add 2 cameras in my setup. Ideally, one, but I think no one camera would be good for vlogging and sit down beauty content filming both. I have finalized Insta360 GO3 for vlogging and Sony ZV-1F for beauty content shoot. I'm yet to hit the 'place an order' button, but I do want to place it by this weekend. I was highly inclined towards buying a Canon Powershot V10 to be honest for the ease of use. I have 0 to negligible knowledge of cameras and I wanted something supremely easy to use. However, after going through so many negative reviews, I've finalized these two. What would you suggest here? Can Pocket3 be used for both vlogging and beauty content creation? I do need the beauty content to be zoomed in and super crisp quality.

    Great video and very helpful! Though I must say, "wait for a really good deal" sounds like your mom saying "eh, just a pinch of salt" when you first start cooking and have no idea what a pinch amount should be. Hard to know what prices are good until you follow the market for a long time, maybe months up to a year at least. That and jokes aside, you do explain what a lot of people are looking for, and do it properly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

    Great presentation. I wasn't aware of the NEX/RX series.
    I bought a SLT-A57 in 2014. Brilliant. Since added used SLT-A77 and SLT-A58.
    The great things is that since Sony dropped A-mount, quality lenses have appeared on the market for pennies.
    Might give the NEX/RX series a go as so cheap.

    In your video I felt the Sony RX100 M7 had perhaps the most impressive looking footage (that and the Sony A7 III) but the Sony RX100 M7 is fairly expensive compared to a lot of the other cameras you profiled. I also realize it could’ve been the lighting that made the difference in the RX 100 M7 footage.

      @kraigpruett  Рік тому +3

      Thanks for the comment! Yes, I really like the RX100 M7 footage. It is speedy, but I found mine for $500 second hand, which was a steal. It is an outstanding camera. But the A7iii has a lot to offer that this does not have as well. Again, this is for "beginners", but I am a pro and I love this camera just as much.

      Pretty much any of these will do top down work if you have a decent monitor to be able to see your image. A lot of these cameras don't have a fully articulating screen to be able to view your image. Personally, I would go for the A5100, ZV-E10, or or the A6700. These should get you some good results. Snag an HDMI cable and a cheap monitor from a company like FEELWORLD, you will be shooting high quality top downs in no time.

      It really is a great camera. I would put it in a similar category to the Sony ZV - E 10. The reason why I would choose that over. The 6400 is because of the USB c streaming feature and the flip out screen. But they are very similar cameras.

    I have been researching this for like weeks but gone with the RX100 VII because I may want to try and take some concert photo shots or videos which may need the zoom range (along with travel and some car/street photography) and I don't think I am at that level to apply for media passes etc until I get some photos from within the crowd. Anything with a detachable lens most likely will not get into places where a lot of big artists perform but I think they may be okay with the RX100 line. But my friend who is a professional also recommended the same alpha cameras such as a6000/6400 and stuff rather than going into an a7iii. Maybe I'll look at the FX30/a6700 or a7iii for next

    What do you think about a5000 with a 50 mm f1.8 yongnuo for 125 usd for a begginer? Or is it more worth to get a6000 with a kit lens for 248 usd?

    im seriously thinking about upgrading from my nex5n straight to a 7iii. Here in Czechia the prices are higher even on the used market, its hard to find one under 1300usd in good condition which sucks but it still will be a big upgrade.

    Any camera you can afford is the best camera for the beginner. There is no secret formula or special UA-cam advertisement or camera guru. It comes down to the individual. If you can afford $7000 or more, then spend it. Learn as go.

    • @kraigpruett
      @kraigpruett  8 місяців тому +2

      Thanks for the comment. I get that perspective, but I would sort of disagree. Even if you can afford a really expensive camera, and it’s within your budget, a $650 ZV-E10 might still be the best option for you. I get the sentiment though.

    Hello there, thank you for the content, I already own a zve10 and 3 lenses, one of them being the 24-70 sigma art, I started mainly for my UA-cam channel that I’m developing, but recently some jobs mostly photography came in my way and I decided to invest in that area seeing is something profitable at the long term for me, my question is what do you think would be a good next step for FF? I’m currently between the A7IV and A7RV seeing ill be not looking for upgrade for at least the next two years work with it as much as possible both in video and photo, I’m sorry for the long comment, you gained a sub for sure

    • @kraigpruett
      @kraigpruett  Рік тому

      Hi there! Both are outstanding. The A7RV is one of my top recommendations period. It’s amazing in every way, if you have the money. I use my A7IV for all sorts of things all the time, both photo and video related. If it were me personally, I’d for for A7IV and save up for some more glass.

    I also love the A-mount system, its old, but so good, like the SLT style camera, they are very good to start and for the budget (they all have a starter of 14MPX, 1280-1080p video, 15 af point IN PHASE, a EVF,...) the A-mount is also so cheap, like i get some awesome lenses for nothing (i got for exemple the exelent Minolta 50mm f1.7 for 30 bucks) and the avergae price of SLT body's start on 100-120 bucks, they are build like tank also, sor for starting its very good!
    (i got for fist a SLT A35 for 75 bucks with 2 lenses, sell the body for 100 bucks and got myself the A65v for only 150 bucks AND ITS AWESOME!)
    Buuuuuut i also love cheap E-mount cameras, like Nex 5, i got one for 30 bucks (and with the 18-55) and i kinda like it, so i get a LE EA4 for 50 bucks to adapt my old minolta lenses, and i buy a NEX 6 for 90 bucks, i wait it actuallly, and yours reviews of it is the cause haha!
    (i'm also sorry if my english is not very good haha, i'm french so ykyk)

    Would the a6700 be good for music videos being it’s apsc? I’ve been debating between a6700 and a7iii.

    • @kraigpruett
      @kraigpruett  Рік тому +1

      Great question. I would 100% go for the A6700 in your case. If you want to make music videos, you will want the higher quality color science out of the A6700, rather than the A7iii's older color science. It will end up being a bit more than the A7iii, but if you have the funds it will be amazing. Don't worry about the APS-C size sensor, this a VERY common size when working with professional film cameras. A lot of RED's cameras are APS-C size. Very common. Just make sure you purchase glass that is a bit wider if you are worried about being too tight.
