    Gerard - This is actually the initial video of yours that I watched as it came up in a search I did in the TH-cam search bar looking for comparison info on the Sony A6xxx line of micro 4Thirds cameras. (I watched another 3 or 4 of em' too)
    I've literally been bathing in videos & websites about comparisons & digging through specs & websites for months on end. Thank heavens I am enthusiastic & excited about cameras - otherwise it would have been real crap, man. - Even so - it's gettin' about to the point where I've just about had it FFS.
    I prolly would've just shrugged my shoulders & bought somethin' already if it weren't for the fact that i'm flat flippin' broke. It's the one time I can think of where not having a dime to my name has truly benefitted me in the long run, since for the last 4 or 5 weeks I had, for the most part, came to the conclusion to go with one of the Lumix cameras - largely due to it being the cheapest 4k60p camera available on the market (I'll likely try to buy whatever I get on the used market in hopes of scoring an extra lens out of the deal, or some of the inevitable necessary streaming doodads/gear)
    I ran across some GREAT content related to the Sony A6xxx lines last week - & over the last few days watched a bunch of side by side comparisons of 4k/1080p content - as well as content of the same res but different framerates - & the difference was barely perceptible. DEFINITELY not enough for me to be basing my whole decision on it.
    The Auto-Focus & Color science has such a massive4 impact on the outcome of the content, whether still or video, & while I DO like the canon color science (fuji as well) Just a bit better than Sony, The Sony Auto Focus is just so much better than the rest.
    Add that to the fact that Canon is pulling the dick move of the century & not allowing 3rd party vendors to make lenses - so you not only have very few to choose from - but what's available is expensive as all hell - & the Sony really feels like a no brainer.
    I've never done any color grading of any kind & i do think the added profiles in the 6600 may help me out a bit - But in the end - whether I get the a6400 or the a6600 will depend on what happens to be available on eBay or Facebook marketplace the moment I actually have enough scratch to buy the damn thing.
    I sure dig your content, you really helped me finally make a damn decision - admittedly though - the lovely subject matter in your videos made watching your content & learning what i needed to one HELL of a lot more enjoyable.
    Don't understand why you've only got 2k subscribers - with any luck, that'll change in no time.
    Just keep it up with the shorts & keep throwing up content mate.
    More is better - & as beautiful as the women you seem to know are - I really doubt you'll struggle making this youtube thing pay the bills if you get more content posted.
    Cheers.

      Hey man, thanks for the awesome comment. I think if you really want to buy a camera go for it! But for me and what I tell people is the best camera isn’t the one you can afford, it’s the one you can afford to brake! Say you get a job and the camera brakes, you need a back up, you also need to be able to replace the camera! Also, if your to Precious with the camera you’ll never use it.
      Have a great week

    Would have been nice to see a straight up comparison between A7iv S35 mode vs the FX30. Things like noise and colour through the ISO range for example.
    Also, for anyone keen on RAW video, RAW = 1:1 pixel readout. Meaning the FX30 will be reading into a sensor size of roughly a mft or smaller. It basically becomes a GH6 with autofocus.

    • @gerardneedham
      @gerardneedham  ปีที่แล้ว

    1:51 You got it the other way around. The FX30 will give relatively more depth of field. More “depth of field” means more is in focus. “Depth of field” doesn’t just mean “blurry background”

    Awesome, I'm ordering an fx30 today and going to use it as my main with my a6600's until I can sell those and get an fx3 for my main and use the fx30 for b cam. I am excited to try and shoot in slog3 for the first time with 10 bit 422 and see what I can do there. I'm curious if you have any suggestions for learning about luts and the best way to get started with color correction. Unfortunately (i suppose) I'm only using Premiere, not Resolve.

    • @VeganLinked
      @VeganLinked 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      also, I'm generally pretty happy with my a6600's with no picture profile, but that may just be because I don't know what I'm missing. Do you think I'll be able to get the fx30 to match the a6600's well enough and if so what do you suggest, maybe just use no picture profile on fx30 unless I plan on color grading? And perhaps a separate question, is there a profile that will get the most dynamic range with a particular profile that doesn't require grading?

    how about 700$ price difference. So you will have to pay 700$more mainly to take better photo, which the fx30 is obviously not for. While you get two good lens for your fx30 apcs with the 700$ saved while you still need to spend close to a 1000$ to get a single solid full frame lense for your a7IV........

    the fx30 is a cinema camera the a74 is not,
    the FX30 is more of a video camera than the A74.
    A74 overheats in 50 fps after 60 minutes, so if your a typical wedding and stills person get the A74, if your getting into films as a pro get the FX30 , it
    FX30 has 4K DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) can record 10 hours straight without overheating , it has Cine EI and dual ISO, 16 bit RAw HDMI

      16 RAW on Sony’s is bit of joke, not worth the hassle, that’s also 16 bit Linear and only 12 bit log, so a very small bump. Both the A7iv and FX30 can do it.
      Haven’t had my a7iv over heat, even did 1 hour 55mins at 4K 50fps for a client no issues, but I did buy the fx30 for the fan, A7iv would over heat in the direct sun doing that.
