Yeppp.  I love Justin Philip BTW.  But yeah these youtubers deserve it lol.  The YT camera community is so toxic. 

Feeling for you. Trump is an economic abomination. It's like a horse race, think of it of all the horses chomping at the bit to get out the gates to increase their profits and prices, but if only one or 2 horses bolt, consumers will shun them and buy the cheaper products... if all the horses bolt at once, what are consumers gonna do... feck all about it.

That's greed for ya.  The consumer pays the price — BIG TIME! 

As an American (that didn't vote for the Orange bomb) I dread it, but I see it through and hope that the nightmare is over.  A real shit-show in the making.

Interesting to see he had good taste in creative tools.

What's annoying for the rest of us that didn't vote for Trump and aren't even American is that you just know the camera manufacturers will use this is an excuse to raise prices in other regions as well, because they've been pushed into acting like a cartel by a madman with orange makeup.
It's a bit like the world just getting over COVID and then some muppet in Russia gives us a war.
The world was getting over a lot of supply chain and economic issues then the American public decided it would be a good idea to have a convict in charge of the government and go back to 1870s trade policies.

"Best" is pretty subjective.
If autofocus is the main thing that you want, then Sony's is the industry leader, followed closely by Canon.  Fuji's has been mostly OK for me, but it definitely doesn't seem as magic as Sony/Canon.
Most of the other stuff is going to be a matter of personal opinion.  If you have a local camera shop and they sell both, your best bet is to go try both of them in person.
But both cameras are going to be completely usable for vlogging, interviews, event coverage, or whatever else you want to do.  They're both very nice and with much better specs than what a lot of us were using as high-end cameras 10 years ago.

Hey everyone,
I am exploring options for a new camera & want to hear your thoughts. I am leaning towards either the Fuji X-S20 or the Sony FX30 but I am torn between the two.
The Fuji X-S20 seems such as a solid choice with its compact size and user-friendly interface. Plus; I have heard great things about its color science and image quality.  want to know if the autofocus performance & video capabilities match up to the Sony FX30.
On the other hand, the Sony FX30 is known for its robust video features and reliable autofocus, which are crucial for my work But I am wondering if its larger form factor & price point are justified compared to the Fuji. 
Also i have check this https://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/75314-a6700-ariba-trainingfx30-sensor-👀/page/6/ still need your advice
Has anyone here used both or have experience with either? I appreciate any insights on their real-world performance for video-centric tasks such as vlogging, interviews & event coverage. 
Thank you.....:)

Many more to come.

No, there's hype, but it's fabricated. Panasonic gave all of them an S9 for free to use forever. Please find me a YouTube video of someone who purchased the S9 at its retail price. I've counted 11 reviews on B&H since its release. That tells me it's not exactly selling like crazy and like many have said- it's way too expensive for what it is.

The price is fantastic, and the autofocus looks very capable too.
There's very little action under $1k with new releases so good on Fuji for keeping some excitement going.
Latest image processor is a plus too.
I would like to see what Small rig have in store, grip wise. A nice wooden grip please.

It was all over my channels, plus I knew it was coming.
I was surprised at the price…
I didn’t think it would be 500 less but the same, trading larger sensor for speed.
However, it is substantially less at sub 2k and as 3x bodies cost basically the same as 1x Z9 body, it has me thinking…
In short it ticks every single box for me with only one niggle and one question.
The Niggle: Side-hinge flip screen. I would prefer a tilt. Not a deal-breaker but wish they had kept the same format as the XH1 I had and loved as I do that of my current S1H.
The Question: I read or heard (probably misheard) that the 4K 50/60p is cropped but since I have checked and not found any evidence that is the case? Ie, it is a cropped sensor so compared to a full frame sensor there is a 1.5x crop for stills and video but unlike the R7, please tell me there is no additional crop on top of that because that would be a dealbreaker.
Why? One of my criteria switching systems is parity between stills and video because it does my but a not having full frame stills and 1.5 crop on my Panasonic’s.

That camera is way out of what I could pay. And I really never buy a new camera, that way I can sell it say 6 months later for nearly what I paid for it. Plus, it doesn't have an EVF. In the day time the LCD screens suck ass and I can't see them too well at my age either.
But that might not be a problem for you. To me stuff that cost that much needs to earn the money back. I don't do anything for money cameras wise anymore so...

The Vast majority of people using a Fuji camera are using it in photo mode. Why would you want the added cost and bulk for that purpose.
The bulk of all video for normal people come from Smartphones. It is only weird people like us that shoot video on a camera..

I think I found your answer. go to 8:00.
 

So, unless you are trying to shoot video of the moon the video portion is pretty useless if true. Ah good old Canon, never changes. 

Whatever they do, people will complain. If they did what you suggest, like with the Micro, a lot of people would complain about having to rig it up because 'it doesn't even have a monitor!?!'.
So, instead they put the screen on, a nice big one and people complain that it doesn't tilt, or it's not bright enough. So they make it brighter, and tiltable. But now, people want them to take it off completely?
Eventually, the only way to make people happy is to sell cameras in the way Apple sell their laptops. You choose from a selection of sensors, mounts, body shapes, screen sizes, media types, audio inputs, battery types etc. Then customer can mix and match to make the camera they want.
Although, even then, people will complain because the HDMI socket can only go on one side of the body, and I'm left handed, so it's a bit annoying.
 

I shall have to remember this when watching the next crap movie on Netflix.  At least its the product of people with decades of experience  using TC.  😂😂

TC very useful for particular productions can not be argued, but a linchpin in Netflix approval feels narrow minded.  Not every production should have its value rest on TC input..  🙄🙄

I understand is easier, but it is hardly "mandatory". Netflix is in love with TC!

Please keep that shit head off my forum.

Huge update for the Sigma FP, allowing a total of three RAW flavors, and a lot of other thinhs. Here the list of enhancements : 
https://www.sigma-global.com/en/download/cameras/firmware/

If someone wanted something smaller than an Alexa, cheap enough to crash and better image quality than a gopro then they could have just bought a BMPCC or BMMCC.
Sounds like they set out to build a camera for a specific task without first phoning up the camera store to see if one existed already.

MFT is a great format indeed. When I mean dismiss any of them, I meant to ignore either of both actually. You can surely skip one of those if you have the other one, of course : ) But this camera series is a dream come true, my fav acquisition system ever designed, produced and delivered to my book : -)
Mainly shot on P6K, here's a trailer of a feature film co-produced by me currently @ post production:
