My Mistake: Sony a7IV and a7CII both have Dual Native ISO. Two based ISO of ISO 800 and ISO 3200 on S-Log 3, I guess the camera is way better than I thought, it keeps getting better! Let me know what you think about this camera!

Guys, if anyone hears me here, a TRUE budget-friendly first hybrid box: *Canon R8* Full-frame, 4K 10bits, slow-mo with no crop, 40 photos a second, no record limit... Less than 2000$ Been workin' with it for few weeks now, excepting a few overheating settings to be aware, that's a true banger.

I feel like a6700 is better, because it's cheaper and lenses are cheaper too. The image quality is almost as good in photo(less bokeh) and in video it's better(4k60 w/no crop+ 4k/120 w/1.5x crop).

@fangost 3 ай бұрын

Agree, I have the A7IV and when shooting at 60fps the crop factor messes you up. Also, no 4K @120 fps. I love the A6700, cheaper and 4K 120fps. The lens as you pointed out are way cheaper than full frame.

Lumix S5ii: best stabe in the business, best bang for buck, amazing image quality, autofocus is now great, even though not as good as Sony's af, dual card, way better build quality and ergonomics, it is much bigger but it also has something for photographers interested in landscape: it's the sensor shift 96mp image :) For video it's much better than the A7CII when it comes to stabe and image quality. For photo it's good enough.

Sure it is FF but if you are going to use F1.8 or above then APSC has nice lenses with equivalent DOF.....ISO is not really an issue for video these days too. So you get identical results at cheaper price for A6700. The only thing I would upgrade to A7Cii is for 33MP which I have been evaluating as I crop my pictures some times.

Fuji , Leica , and Even Nikon new Zf cameras are just fun. Recently i tried out a X-T5 and LeicaQ3 and honestly with the hours i had with them i can see why people enjoy these cameras for family and friends and adventure. Not saying you can't do that with sony, but they are in a whole different league of fun in my OP. For video i think this camera out classes both Nikon,Fuji and Leica.... For photo? Hell no. Either way i hope it works out for you ;)

@@aleksandrmikhailov3255 I am asking since I had Fuji for a long time. I thought that the reasons you gave would be fun for me but in the end it turned out film simulations wore out quite quickly.

I personally don't recoomment full frame. The Body's aren't the cheapest but the lenses are very expensive. I went from an A7iii which is a brilliant all around camera today to an 6400. Immediately the weight reduced as well as the price of my glass. Since people predominantly veiw content now on phone screens, the quality of the images can never be told apart. Been shooting well over ten years now and I can confindently say, that the full frame hype isn't what is used to be. Furthermore I have also been able to print large with the 6400. For meatleast, It's been a win win situation especially with the Sigma trio of lenses.

I'm mainly a video guy and I do a lot of events coverage that require higher framerates like 4k 60 or 120 sometimes. While the A7CII I has up to 4K 60 it is only in Super 35mm mode so I'm losing some of the benefits of having a full-frame camera in the first place. Also to get 120fps I'll have to go back to using 1080p like a caveman lol. It would be a great second camera to have but the A7CII is most definitely Not the ONLY camera I'll ever need. If I had only one camera right now I'd pick the FX3 keeping within that price range. The A6700 is close but the overheat with kill me for sure on certain projects, especially as I live in the tropics 😅
