Hi David. I’ve been watching your videos, and enjoying them. It’s relative content for me because I love the sensor in these cameras. I have the FX30 for work, and will buy the a6700 for travel and photography. Keep up the great work!

[@davebcn87]

Hey Marko, yeah that's a great option if you don't have to choose one or the other. And you will be able to match the footage from both perfectly.

Thank you friend for the interesting review!

[@harry54ck]

Thanks for your review!
I'm a bit concerned about 6700 low light performance. How good it is for night clubs or evening concert videography along with photography? How it is compared with Sony a7III in this regards.
The other concern is the using it for full concert or interview record with being acknowledged that it will not shutdown unexpectedly, or at least if this happens, the file still to be saved as it happens with Canon R8.
I would really appreciate your review of lowlight performance with fast lenses like Sigma 16 or Viltrox. All f1.4. Will it beat full frame with f1.8 lenses.
Anyway thanks for your reviews!

I haven't had the A7III but so far I'm impressed on how well it performs with high ISO values. 12800 noise is more than acceptable. I use 6400 for indoor shooting most of the time.
When it overheats still saves the file, but for long interviews I would use an external fan to be sure it lasts longer. If it's less than 1h you should ok without.

To help the camera body of the A6700 with its small sensor size get lenses with low f ratings. I have the Sony 11mm f1.8 and hte sigma 30mm f1.4. Highly recommended

[@harry54ck]

@@pf4773 really? Why do you hate Sigma? Can you approve that having 1.4 lenses will equal to what we get from full frame with 1.8 aperture?

[@novikovgarage_SPB]

evaluate the quality of shooting at night with a kit lens: th-cam.com/video/Dx1niySVEjE/w-d-xo.html

[@nana-ld4cr]

You misread it. He didn't say he hated sigma. He said he has the sigma 30mm f1.4 lol@@harry54ck

[@pf4773]

I bought the sandisk v30 cards you suggest--I'll hopefully remember to post when I pick them up about my experience with them in shooting higher quality video on the a6700. Thanks for this review: the other thing-ulanzi among other companies sells fans to cool the a6700. I would never permanently attach the fan to the camera body.

[@davebcn87]

Same here, Ulanzi fan is good for the way I use the camera.

[@Lar.Real.Diecast]

Can you recommend a good budget gimbal for fx30?

[@davebcn87]

Hey! I cannot help you with that as I don't use any gimbal nowadays. I own one of the first Zhiyun Crane gimbals but I don't use it anymore.
