    Your point highlight why regardless of 3rd party only Sony lens give you the best support 
    When there is new body with Sony lens I don't have to worry about is it gonna have issues whatsoever.a
    Hence I still only use Sony lens.
    But now the new Sony lens is getting more expensive like Nikon and Canon.

    Yeah I guess A6700 is good for you if you don't need FF look and use that saving on good lens.

    Lol, at same time I bought R7, R8, E1 and maybe a7c ii and whatever stacked sensor camera Canon will release afterward.. not as many as Mark041 though.
     
    I should be like SRV1981 here just think don't buy, that will save you a lot of money 😁

    Shot this recently on the S5IIx in BRAW using the Sigma 28-70 F2.8 (and some DJI Mini 3 Pro drone shots).
     
    Quite happy with the external output, 13 stops of measured DR without any noise reduction, no gamut clipping, no banding, no slow motion noise (no temporal filtering).

    This guy have pretty good insight before normal people got their a6700
    One reason ZV-E1 last longer than A6700 beccause it only have 12MP sensor so less taxing on cpu than A6700 does even they are the same body.

    I've done fruit picking for a hot second way back ages ago during a summer break when I was a uni student, you'll need to pay me more than $60/hr to go back to do that again!! (also, "$60/hour" is a bit of a lie... unless you're skilled and very fast at it, then you won't earn that much! While if you can't and you struggle, you could find yourself earning less than minimum wage)

    I remember one of the first experiments we did in school teaching us about doing experiments.  We got two tin cans, put a hole in each of them, put a thermometer in each to read the internal temperature, and then wrapped one in black paper and one in white paper.  Then we put them in the sun and took temperature readings over something like 30 minutes.
    The black container internal temp shot up quickly, and it felt hot to the touch after only a few minutes, but then the temperature started to plateau.  The white one started much more gradually, but slowly and surely kept rising.  
    Every minute we took readings and drew graphs of both of them.  We were able to compare the two graphs and IIRC the white one was following the same curve, it was just slower.  By the end of the experiment the white one had almost caught up to the black one.
    The colour delays the rise in temp, it doesn't eliminate it.
    Maybe that is enough difference to get the shot rather than not getting it, but it's not a permanent solution.

    Not all small black cameras have these issues.
    Here's a test of a bunch of small black cameras: 
    He did the tests in a room at 75F/23.9C and he cooled them down to 80F/26.7C before starting the test.
    Results:


    Looking at some of these results, I'm not sure your theory stands up.
    Comparing them to the Sony, these are obviously smaller sensors, but heat management is about power consumption vs surface area, and these all have MUCH smaller surface areas than a MILC like the Sony.

    So white ZV-E1 last 50% more recording time than black ZV-E1 under the sun, that's good to know! Well I feel I made the right choice for white coloour (beside looking fancy haha)
    And I didnt knew it have firmware last month to improve SteadyShot.

    In theory, yes, these things are all true, but not for this camera.
    Here's the video posted earlier by @SRV1981...  check out the outside testing.
    In case you don't want to watch a couple of minutes of video, here's the results:
    Tested in North Carolina in mid-morning 80F and humid, in direct sun Tested from cold in AC all night Tested in 4K XAVCS, auto temp set to high, screen open Tested at 24p Overheated in 22 minutes Let me summarise: camera is not reliable.  Will it work for some people in some conditions?  Sure.  Will it work for you?  No way to tell.
    There's no way I'd buy a camera like this, because you would have to know you can't record with it in the sun (even at indoor temps!), or in a hot building, or at 60p, etc etc

    Another point that is bothering me right now: the lack of testing some details point, coupled together with (looks like) the companies refusing to answer some technical details. Some examples:

    - Electronic shutter for stills: what are the penalties, if any, besides rolling shutter? In the past, I remember some smaller Panasonics reverting to a lower bit depth when using it. Tested in my current cameras, the RAWs have the full bit depth, but it is real bit depth or less bits wrapped in a bigger bit depth "container"? There is a dynamic range penalty? Never find a correct (and justified) answer.

    - Always is said that a 4k image downsampled from a larger read in camera render a better image than a 4k crop of the sensor. Looks logical - but why the image quality from the Open Gate cameras (hence, using a 1:1 readout of the sensor) are showing no image penalty?

    - Which cameras have (or not) plug-in power for using external mics? Good luck to find out.

    Every review is the same topics over and over. Taking the X-S20 for example: no one mentioned that the Face / Eye AF is not only better, but is totaly different than before, you have to use is a very different way. No comparison between the penalties of using lower data bitrates - is 360mbps and 200mbps much different? Or 10-bit 4:2:2 and 10-bit 4:2:0 - I've discovered this is a HUGE topic for Windows users this week, because Nvidia cards only have decoders for 10 bit 4:2:0, you could have the best RTX 4xxx card and your 10 bit 4:2:2 footage will only decode using CPU; and only the newer Intels CPUs with iGpu have hardware decoders 10 bit 4:2:2.

    Everything is very shallow.

    Indeed. I think I am personally relatively safe but otherwise there is always flux in most industries and as long as you spend sufficient time and effort on the medium and long term, you should be generally fine.
    What seems increasingly to be the case is the focus on short term gain. Plenty of folks I come across selling their granny for a small ‘one off’ pay day whilst rejecting anything longer term.
    I won’t bore you with the details, but just recently I had the situation where a colleague chose 500 euros over a career length full-time situation…just out of sheer short-sightedness.
    As has always been the case since man stopped fighting the dinosaurs, just because someone is in business does not mean they are good at business.
    Most people I find are utterly terrible at business and exist more because there is a market demand rather than any business skills.

    Prompted by a tweet from @Andrew Reid about BBC drama production in the 70s/80s, I remembered this gem of a YouTube channel where the production staff of the era discuss and reproduce their work.
    The videos are a combination of bitesize and longer form and covers every stage of the production process such as these.
     
    It is a fascinating collection of pieces and much can be learned and applied to shooting and editing today.
    Not least of which how lucky we are to have what we have at our disposal.
