Great Video! can you please help me. I'm currently using a FX3 with a Laowa lens 15m 2.8 for real estate photos but I want to take better photos. What do you think of my current gear? should I go with an A7IV with a new lens such as sigma 14 - 24 2.8 or Sony 16-35mm f/4 Zeiss?
I say it in the video: more megapixels doesn't make your photos better for real estate... A7S3 is the best camera for real estate, you have the FX3, so in my eyes the A7IV is a downgrade. You'd have to work around the 1.5x Crop at 4K60 video, I just don't see any benefit there. I have a video on the channel comparing 12-24mm ultra wide and 16-35mm standard wide lenses, watch that to get a better idea of your lens choice. I've used both lenses, the 14-24 2.8 is my go to. The 16-35 f4 zeiss I'd say is a budget beginner lens, you can get them cheap on b&h used, but in my experience they miss on autofocus sometimes and the sigma almost never misses focus. The only caveat to using the 14-24 is that I also have a 24-70mm to shoot tight detail shots, and I do think having those tighter focal lengths is important if you want to shoot better photos. So keep your fx3 camera body and get a new lens is my advice.
@@fulltimerep my plan was to keep my fx3 and get the A7iv for photography? to speed up my workflow onsite. do you think shooting at 15mm for all parts of the house can be too wide and distorted ?
The quality of the 4K video isn't the problem, the crop factor is just a technicality that limits your wide angle lens selection. But as mentioned in the video, A7S3 all day for me.
Nikon makes great cameras but I haven't followed their ecosystem in recent years. The Z6II seems legits, priced well, the main thing to be aware of a 1.5x crop when shooting 4K60 Video.
My A7Siii still going strong after 3 years! A7R series is fantastic too, maybe a bit large on the file sizes for HDR bracketing but overall great camera.
I used to shoot on the canon rebels back in high school, love that camera and if you already own one it will work for photos. Personally I wouldn't go buy a DSLR at this point because the EF lenses have been replaced by RF, plus you can get brand new mirrorless cameras in a similar price range. Hope this helps.
I don't see how Canon and Sony aren't relevant? They are dominate the market for mirrorless hybrid cameras at the moment. But yes, there are other options, Lumix, Nikon, etc. Hopefully someone better versed in those cameras will make a video, thanks for watching.
Thanks for the sub! This video is for hybrid Real Estate Photo & Video shooters. The A7S3 is my top recommendation, which has the same sensor as fx3, plus an EVF which I can't live without. Maybe if you were doing video only... but for a hybrid workflow, the fx3 doesn't make sense to me.
@@fulltimerep The Sony A7Siii changed the Camera industry and is still one of the best (video) cameras ever made years later for its intended audience.

Hi, your contents in TH-cam is very good, do you edit them by yourself?
Yes, thanks
@@fulltimerep I'm looking forward to editing your videos, do you want an editor?
Ouch, sounds like I should sell my A7IV, since it won't do 4k video very well. Still good for pics though?
The quality of the 4K video isn't the problem, the crop factor is just a technicality that limits your wide angle lens selection. But as mentioned in the video, A7S3 all day for me.
Would you recommend the Nikon z6II? And what lens would be good?
Nikon makes great cameras but I haven't followed their ecosystem in recent years. The Z6II seems legits, priced well, the main thing to be aware of a 1.5x crop when shooting 4K60 Video.
The Sony A7Siii is awesome. I just started playing with the A7R5 as well and I am very impressed. Thanks for making this video. Very well done! 😀
My A7Siii still going strong after 3 years! A7R series is fantastic too, maybe a bit large on the file sizes for HDR bracketing but overall great camera.
@@fulltimerep I haven't used the A7R5 for video yet, but hoping to soon! Have a great day! Keep up the great work with the videos.
Thank you for this video. I'm looking at getting into Real Estate photography. This helps. You got a sub
Awesome, thank you!
That was a really nice presentation. Thank you for the effort!
Thanks for supporting the channel!
@@fulltimerep Well deserved my friend. Great content up to now!
It's a very well put together video by clearly giving us options to consider thank you!!
How about the Canon Rebel T7?

How can you highlight the best cameras for real estate photography by only presenting Canon and Sony cameras ? Not relevent at all !
I don't see how Canon and Sony aren't relevant? They are dominate the market for mirrorless hybrid cameras at the moment. But yes, there are other options, Lumix, Nikon, etc. Hopefully someone better versed in those cameras will make a video, thanks for watching.
😕Wow no FX-3? I still liked and subscribed :3
