my man says 1 hour plus for 24p and 37 minutes for 60p on both cameras

So the a7cII amirite?! 😂

😝

Well said. I happen to follow much of these YT channels because they’re usually the only ones getting advance copies of tech we’re interested in and put out content displaying the quality. I just try to recognize use their bias when possible.

Seems odd to assume buying a fan stops companies from making built in fans. Panasonic did it. And also interesting that you care so deeply about others decisions.

What’s the reasons to grab an fx30 over S5II. Is S5II AF up to snuff

It was brought up in another thread that S5II has an internal fan. I concede all other points I’ve said. If they can do it so can all other manufacturers. Agree that this is absurd.

Learn what?

Does that translate to small cameras

That’s awesome you’ve used these devices. While they don’t look attractive compared to a built in fan, are you confident they work similarly? How much extra record time did you get? may wait for a7C II is announced before making a decision, but having a fan that’s effective and cheap may do as you said - remove need for 2 bodies.

So an a6700 with a fan looks like an attractive offer. Will look into it as I was considering an fx30 and a used a6600 for hybrid use on travel.

Well then there’s no purpose in distinguishing pro and hobbyist as it seems we’ve deducted professional into a postmodern whatever we say it is. Not in a bad way just that good points were raised. the reality is what we have so we have to decide what we’re willing to accept and what makes sense for us. the fx30/a6700 makes a ton of sense for me when i dip back in. Small bodies for travel and compact lenses are hugely important for me as a non-paid user. Throwing it in a bag for a flight and filming is great and the aesthetics of the Sony image is desirable. The Fuji like burned me on AF for both video and photo. Canon lens game is too pricey for a hobbyist like me. Panasonic is looking good but body and lens size are a bit big. all good points here

I’m not an engineer and I take it nobody else here is so this is just resentment and speculation. On my part as well. Trust me - I’d pay a little more for active heat dissipation/cooling. Still, I’m not convinced that non-pros are recording for 30 minutes at a clip. I’ve never seen it, I don’t see it on YT, I don’t do it, and anyone I know with a cam doesn’t either. The only folks I’ve seen film weddings, movies, or YT video podcasts. At this point, it is what it is. Sony offers affordable options in the fx30 for video creation. It would be nice to have both film and video in one camera. I suppose LUMIX is an option for that crowd. I, personally, find FF bodies and lenses too large for travel/my needs and so APSC seems like a great option for a non-pro. Curious, if a professional why not use a cinema camera? Are we using the word professional differently?

Just another thought for a hobbyist here - I can’t imagine why I’d be filming for 20-60m straight in 98 degree humidity continuously. And if I was using it for work/professionally I’d probably be using a cinema camera. id love to have a c70 but I can’t afford it and don’t need it. So maybe an a6700 does make sense.

Curious if these fans could be used on any camera or model specific? also curious what an s1h II would cost and offer if it is even close to release ?

The reality is that Sony, compared to other lines, offers a great image with leading DR and log performance along with the best open lens mount in the industry. They’re pushing us to their fx like and I may be okay grabbing an fx30 for video work as it seems like a better buy than the alternatives when you consider quality, price, and lenses. I currently own an griiix and it’s pretty cool for most of my photo needs but have yet to try snapping my runners. Could always grab a used a6600 for some action shots of runners to pair with an fx30 for documentary stuff

That’s fair. Could also just be profit motive in another direction: “we have all these parts let’s just throw these extra parts in a smaller body and call it a day”
