Yeah I bought the Canon 28mm cause I really miss the 20mm and 14mm pancake back in the day with m43, 22mm with M50/M6ii, 24mm with 200D and surprisingly there is no AF pancake for Sony FF system. R8 with 28mm is slightly more depth than my X100Vi Limited.

Last year I was trying out Sony after being laid off hence selling most of my Canon gears, this year finally found a fulltime job and they use Canon, so I m back to full Canon again. It's funny given how popular Sony are but all the fulltime ones I went they all use Canon for video. And to most people they wouldn't able to tell supersampled 4k or normal 4k.. they only care about how their face/skin look on cam.

The first R7 I bought new from overseas and sell for little loss, 2nd R7 I bought used and sell for the same price as I bought so no lost (R7 price is really stable), this one is also brought used after missing out a few R7 auctions (they are pretty hot on the market, more popular than R8). I still use R8, R5C and C70 so got most of the adapters except the control ring one. 18-50 will be living on R7 permanently so don't mind the screw on adapter. I was thinking pretty hard about R5II but looking at current economy it is unwise to spend big money at this stage, R7+18-50 cost can be completely covered by the selling of FX30 body alone so it's no brainer.

Just bought R7 (for the 3rd time) and Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 RF ($100 off so can't resist). I will probably use this combo for majority of shoot from now on. Time to sell my last Sony which is the FX30..

One thing R5II is missing is the IBP light codec... I really like it for long hour recording, save a lot of space and don't need fast cars at all for 4k60p

If I still had R5 I would be definitely be upgrading to R5II cause it fixed the 2 major issue for me, 30min record limit and clog2! The full size HDMI is a nice suprise though. But with the release of Sigma 18-50, it stirr up things, my friend already decide to get R7 and 18-50 instead of getting R5II, he reckon he can get away with this combo most of the time, only night time he might need R5C.. I also been thinking too lol, R5C on tripod and R7 with 18-50 and 1.8 and later 1.4 lens should be able to do majority of the job.

With Sigma and now Samyung on-board the lens cost should be pretty similar for both E and L Mount. I had my share of Sony for a year, start with E1, then got FX3 and FX30 later, now it's only FX30 left and thinking going to Pana or stick to full Canon next year

My used FX30 is only slightly more expensive than brand new ZV-E10 II.. Used A6700 can be had for cheaper than ZV-E10 II in my country. But they are for different market like you said, for me I defeinitely prefer used A6700 for best bang for the bucks, it got mechanical shutter and AI stuff which E10II lacks.

Hence Fuji is really clever with their production and inventory... it keeps their system quite valuable and also makes their customer's camera keep their value longer, it's a win-win situation!

FX3 can overheat, this guy I know (I shot with him a few time) said his FX3 did overheat on him. If you search online there are FX3 overheating discussions https://forum.sony-rumors.com/full-frame-mirrorless-cameras/overheating-issues-and-cooling-solutions-for-the-sony-fx3/ FX30 on the other hand I haven't seen anyone claim their one overheated, me and my friend's FX30 has been pretty rock steady sofar. So in terms of overheating I think only Panasonic really did some extra miles for their solution.

16 DR on Clog2 according PR, is that the same as C400?

M43 with 10-25/25-50 and FF L with 28-45 and 35-150?

GH7 definitely look like the best M43 ever I m tempted to dump the Sony and back to Pana again.

Never thought I would buy a X100VI (and a limited edition too!), But after my name got drawn out of the lottery I say why not! The thickness of the X100 is similar to my Sony body without any lens on it, and even with that OVF it is only slightly taller but shorter than most other mirrrorless with dslr design. The ND and IBIS does it make a more compelling video camera, I really hate to screw on and off the lens filter on trip. Btw it can be powered by USB powerbank

E1 should be even less worry cause it didn't have mechanical shutter, I did see people posting their Sony camera's shutter get stuck from my local wedding group occasionally

I really welcome a Red Powered Nikon FX3/FX30 competitor with Redcode, I would chuck out my FX3/FX30 in a beat!

Compact travel definitely rx100vii or vi hands down, 2 of my friends went to compact big zoom DC for travel and leave their mirrorlees behind at home. One guy sold his Tamron 28-200mm too cause even that is big for him. For me I probably get osmo pocket 3 for my compact travel gimbal camera.. can't assed bring an actual gimbal.

Pretty much the same for me except I went Sony for full video and Canon for hybrid/stills work after being just Canon since Covid. Atm it's ZV-E1/FX30 for pure video work, Canon R8/R7 for hybrid/photog or if shooting with Canon shooter. 2023 is an interesting year for me, got layed off in the beginning and decide to do just freelance, went to travel for 4 months this year which is the most I have done in my whole life. I also started doing some photog work and man not have to carry that much gear is nice for a change lol. Mavic Air (the OG) is my longest surviving gear so far, client still happy with it and I don't do much drones nowaday so I don't think I will upgrade until it exploded or something. This year I might get the Osmo pocket 3 after renting it out for an event where I m mostly doing photo and some video. I was quite impressed with the result as I can't be assed to put my cam on the gimbal. And I bought M1 max Mac Studio during boxing day clearance recently, the general speed and export speed increase by many folds vs my og MBA m1 with 7 core gpu and 8gig of ram. Now my MBA can enjoy some semi-retirement time lol, when I told ppl I been editing multicam 4k on this little machine ppl were quite skeptical.

Don't think so, even FX6 and FX9 doesn't have Open Gate.

Josh did R5C vs FX3 Canon without Clog2 is really limiting the DR. https://youtu.be/4tpBrNbf050?si=YsGJTc6_Zl_995cX

oh that kinda stinks, wireless system really need that high shutter in day light. Who cares about on camera flash ugh.

Yeah on this thread he can't loop out why not FX6 and on the other thread he is all in on FX3, I m so lost as well. 😂 Atm only director knows as he is the one that set the gear, there is no point keep repeating the same question here as we can't answer for him.

Well Sigma is operating the same as Canon! But doesn't make RF lens.. so it is the odd one out.

My other alternatives will be Panasonic if I didn't try Sony, I was this close getting S5II but the no pdaf on 1080p kinda kill it me for me. Maybe I will get back to Pana MFT in the future who knows.

I dunno why on this thread you keep pushing for FX3 and on my thread with FX3 you keep pushing not using FX3 😂 As I said i have colab with company/ppl that use Canon so I have to use Canon cameras if I shoot with them.
