What lens would you get for lowlight situations ? Are you always lighting ?

Would love to see you compare both in different conditions and ISO levels! Well done.

Awesome! Congrats. When you’re producing during travel for yourself etc are you lighting indoors and outside when it’s dark?

This is exactly what I’m saying. Well said. What cameras would you recommend for those who fit this description? Thanks. Well said. Do you have any videos of you doing this ?

All good points! I guess I’m one of the members here that are enthusiasts but don’t do it professionally and wouldn’t want to use lights for the most part. Everything you said and others is sensible. I’m just wanting a sub 3k video on a Sony that is good in LL

To the point you agreed about needs are different - do you think they're putting the a7s3 sensor in a consumer ZV-E1 because the majority of those users don't light scenes etc and need good ISO performance in challenging situations?

Everyone's needs are different. As stated, some folks don't have the time/luxury/desire to setup external lighting and having a competent camera for lowlight would be very helpful. If the noise was not a distraction/noticeable then i'd agree with you. That said, I am unsure if it is on the FX30. I'll have to dig in deeper to see how the fx30 compares in lower lit conditions to the fx3/a7siii to see if it is really a noticeable difference. I'd say my concern is more of 4k 24p.

Love this response. Makes me think, at times, if you can afford to get the video camera that’s best for you and worry about photo secondarily - if you can - it’s the way to go!

This video was helpful thanks! Makes me feel the fx30 is good enough for most situations, including lowlight with the right lens pairing. I'm not sure about this. We're not living a decade ago and for those who don't have more than themselves and no lighting - ISO performance and options today are what's relevant. Fault with the user ... could you unpack how that plays out in lowlight as a single operater?

Soap Opera aside, what’s the thoughts on an fx30 for situations where you will not be lighting? Is the ISO performance good enough to fill in lowlight? Obviously it doesn’t rival the fx3 but is it close enough that it’s usable ?

Lovely tones. What camera(s)

Looks awesome! Nikon is beat up a lot and so is 8 bit yet I found the image appealing and well done.

What places do you buy from? How do you evaluate if it is clean and dust free/minimal

Original context was Sony

Without a mechanical shutter you can’t shoot any fast moving subjects in photo. Unless your saying it’s smarter to get an fx30 and a photo body instead of using an a7iv for both

How do some of you see this as a way to save money ? Grab a Sigma 18-50 for an A7IV and use on 35mm mode and also get a 35mm fast prime for FF ?

What’s the general consensus when on hybrid cameras like the a7iv.

Cool as shit Lovely color

Seems premature to be that specific and confident, no? 12 people had a stab at it with different analysis of overheating.

Big knock for Canon seems to be 3rd party lenses - same for Panasonic? Seems Sony a7iv/fx30 are a great go to for most prosumers?

What cameras would be good to search on YT for good baked in looks with some flexibility in look without having to grade log?

This camera doesn't seem to be marketed toward folks using extensive color correction or 30-45 minute runtimes for single clips. Most content creators on YT, etc., probably record 30s to 5 minutes on most clips.

I liked the a7iv in this

To what degree are folks creating travel videos, vlogs, and YT content filming for greater than 30-45 minutes at a single clip? I'd imagine that is very small segment and within that segment they do it sparingly.
