Can't believe how fast you're pushing out content! Feed our camera crisisss and keep em cominggggggg
haha - the algorithm makes me!!
That you so much for making this video! I just bought my FX30 a few weeks ago and I needed this clarity. I was on my way to a camera crisis!
Glad I could help!
MAN! They both sound amazing! If I were getting one, I think I'd go with the FX-30. Love the weather sealing, 2 card slots, fan, better LCD, and BUTTONS & DIALS!! But the lowlight capabilities of the ZV-E1 are very attractive as well.
Which camera would be better if i would “downgrade” the ZV-E10 to second cam/ b roll and replace it with either Fx30 or Zv-e10. Which camera’s would pair up nicely?
what will you be shooting - and for how long and in what temperature?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis ranging from studio work, short film, vlogging. Mostly indoors, airconditioned. sometimes outside.
@@RinaJosscy Go with the ZV-E1 in this case
If you already have APS-C lenses, then the FX30 makes more sense, and will grow with you better over time. The FX-30 also has 240fps for slo-mo that's...slower...mo? Also 2 SD slots on the FX-30 kindof makes it the only option for any professional work. If you're shooting with no redundancy, that's a huge risk to take. The ZV-E1 isn't a bad camera but I would go with the FX-30 in your situation.
FX30 is an actual reliable camera, you should never bring a camera that could overheat to a paid job. If it’s for vlogging and your own content creation probably the EV-1
yes indeed
100% 🤌🙌
even for vlogging, do you need to bring an icepack for it?
I’ll have fun with my overheating camera that produces great image quality. I’ll bring it to the next few shoots I have as well😬 I’ll let you know how it goes (I live in the desert so you best believe it’ll be hot).
Exactly this ! Also they mentioned 4K 120fps 1080p 240… but never buy a camera for what it can be… buy it for what it is.
Thanks, Mark! You know the advantage to be “insane” like you is to be able to create such a comprehensive video! You have cleared most of my questions about these two boys, and I am now more than delighted to wait patiently for my EV-Z1 :) Thx a lot
Hey Mark, which of these 2 cameras would you recommend for a controlled studio setting for TH-cam talking head videos? If I go with the FX30, I would use the Sigma 30mm 1.4. Wouldn't I get about the same look as full frame? My main concern with the ZVE1 is overheating as I record multiple videos up to 1+ hours and do livestreams at 4K 24p, Slog3 with autofocus. Thanks for your thoughts!
the fx30 is for you. those longer record times are better won’t be fx30. also, the sigma 30mm won’t go on the zv-e1 without a big clear image zoom - with in my opinion is not ideal
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks! Yeah if I go ZVE1, I would get a FF lens.
Very underrated channel. You have been doing a great job for a while. Hopefully YT algorithm keeps bumping you up
Thanks for saying that. Chugging along over here 😂
I’m so glad u made this video i been waiting for someone to do it
Great work, it gives us a better idea before buying because I was so confused with the pros and cons. Thank you Mark!
The Fx30 is a great entry level camera for filmmakers and videographers. The ZV-E1 is a great high level camera for vloggers. I would not recommend the ZV-E1 for filmmakers and videographers, no matter how good the auto focus is.
What high level camera for filmmakers & videographers?
@@boredom3646a7siii still the goat
The ZVE1 is like a Tesla and the FX30 is like a Ford F150. You get a smooth ride with all the futuristic AI features with the Tesla...but when its time to work, move stuff around, ride off-road, carry some heavy load, and hold up against scratches and bumps...you take the Ford.
bruh give this man a round of applause lol
FORD- Found on Road dead😅
@@AAPECREWFix Or Repair Daily
Now this is the video about the ZV-E1 i have been waiting for.
The video I was waiting for. Thanks, Mark!
Great comparison video 👍😊
Can’t help thinking I would love an aps-c version of the a7siii with equal rolling shutter performance. Mostly to have smaller lighter zoom lenses. I jumped from GH5s to A7SIII and I really do miss the lightness of smaller sensor cameras.
*I just got the FX30 today and I bought it because it was an entry level Cinema Camera that focused on video only. That was something that I wanted as the FX3 was HILARIOUSLY expensive. I've already got the ZV-1 which to me the ZV-E1 is just another line-up but FF, but too each their own*
I love my FX30. Will be shooting a lot more videos this spring and summer 😘
I have both the A7SIII and the FX30. Besides the low Light Performance the FX 30 is great. A new Sensor in a great body. The Image is the same as in my A7SIII. The ZV E1 seams to me like they put the old Sensor of the A7SIII in a cheap body. And to an higher price. So i would recommend the FX30 for filmmakers and also for vlogging. And you can Save money. Thanks to Apple for making this comment looking funny. Greetings from Germany. Dirk
Greetings from USA Dirk!
Hi Dirk, which of these 2 cameras would you recommend for a controlled studio setting for TH-cam talking head videos? If I go with the FX30, I would use the Sigma 30mm 1.4.

Thanks for your thoughts!
@@HopeProphecy I would highly recommend the FX30. Because of the 6k to 4k downsampled footage, it looks like Fullframe. I often use the A7SIII on a tripod and the FX30 handheld for B Roll shots. It looks identical. I have both set to S Cinetone. I wouldn‘t buy a Camera with features you will get in the Future such as 4K 120fps. The problem with overheating seams to be really hard. This features were never even planed to put them in a cheap plastic Body. Unfortunatly most TH-cam Channels now support the new ZV E 1, for what reason ever. Look at the Video from Athur R. One of the first really critical and objective reviews. Dirk
Thanks, Mark! It feels like they charge more for making your life easier with software (ZV-E1), but you do get better "hardware" with the FX-30, which requires you to think a little harder to use the camera. I'll personally stick to my a6600 for another couple years to gain more experience and justify getting a new camera. Cheers!
Well said, Lucas! 👏🏻
Best camera channel when comes to these type of comparisons
Thanks!!
Thanks for this comparison Mark! Just what I've been waiting for.
P.S. I've always been thinking that your lights and wall were far away! 😂
movie magic 🤣🤣
NYC energy is unreal! Love visiting the city. We lived in Charlotte, NC before kids and now live in Raleigh, but if we didn’t have kids, we’d 100% consider moving to the city - especially since the tech company I work for has an office in the FIDI. Love this video bro! Keep ‘em coming.
Also, you just blew my mind. I always figured that background was at least 5ft away!
😂😂
Not a professional shooter, but I'm leaning towards the ZV-E1 for the new features and full frame sensor. Upgrading from the ZV-E10 as I want better image stabilization and rolling shutter.
Another nice one Mark. I'm walking over to Vistek to pick-up my FX30 later today. It freaked me out a little when you touched that light. It looks like it's a mile behind you.
🤣
That was fast Mark! I am still not sure about the choice between them. But great video again, waiting for samples and tests :)
A few days ago, I purchased the ZV-E10 after watching your videos. However, when I heard about Sony releasing the ZV-E1, I almost had a mini heart attack, thinking if it was an upgraded version of the ZV-E10, and if I had just bought an older version😅. However, I am hopeful that the ZV-E10 is still a great camera. I wanted to thank you for recommending the ZV-E10. It's my first camera, and thank you for your guidance. Keep up the great work on the channel! Sending love from India ❤️.
the zv-e10 is still my number one recommendation- best bang for buck camera out there!!
@Valibhav same here, grabbed the Sony ZV-E10 a few weeks ago then found out about the ZV-E10 and had the same cardiac issues haha. Then went to to should I sell and get the ZV-E1. This is my first Sony camera and vlogging came also. I know we can fix the rolling camera shutter in post. The nice thing about the EZ-E1 is it has shutter stabilizion , AI chip for auto focusing with two people yet down side is that the EZ-E1 will have over heating problems even in 73 degrees. I think I will probably just stick with EZ-E10 then beach out to an FX3 for the good goods as it is Netflix Certified and has an internal fan for longer shoots and is not proned to over heating problems.
Nothing wrong with that camera at all. I still use my ZV-1 on a bible when I’m worried about damaging my fx and it still looks great.
@@ItsMe_Philippines good to know !
Very good & very comprehensive comparison .
I did a 2.5 hour livestream (1080p) with the ZV-E1 with no overheating issues. Just make sure you get a USB-C SS 3.1 cable- Sony gave an onscreen warning that my cheap USB-C cable would mean only 720p.
Thanks for the info - yes - 1080 will be much better for the heat
Zv-1 seems like a great travel/content creator cam but fx30 is for more professional use and also great for vlog with more options at great lens optimized for spec or put a FF lens on it … I think ima buy a used Siii to add to my fx30 and A7iv for weddings etc .. great video mark!!
Thank you! I think for me the fx30 will work better now if only they come out w something with that new apsc sensor but an evf as well.
Holy cow. I was just debating this decision.
Great video as always! My next upgrade from the zv-e10 is definitely gonna be the FX30. Really need longer record times without overheating and dont need the ai features / stabilization the zv-e1 offers. I'm always out recording hour long clips in the 90 degree summer heat and editing at night at home so don't need the low light large sensor.
Best option if u already own apsc glass
I'm debating between these two cameras myself. Do you think that fx30 would give similar image quality as this ZvVE1 full frame in a controlled studio setting? If I go with the FX30, I would use the sigma 30mm 1.4. Thanks!
It will probably depend on what you want to do, the lower megapixel count on the zv-e1 is designed to be better in low light situations where the fx30 will have higher detail in good lighting conditions, and the built in fan will prevent over heating on longer shoots. Great comparison video
Until how many minutes your zv e10 starts to heat up at a point where you should stop using it? Planning to buy that cam.
@@_thealexm_ Mark did a great video on it. Here's a link
th-cam.com/video/2C4wF8dCCcs/w-d-xo.html
Waiting for this all my life! Yes, I'm two hours old. Fresh out of the womb.
🤣
For me the only thing that makes it tough is the dynamic stabilization. I want that so bad. I think I’d still likely go for fx30 as my bcam. I shoot an a7iv. Mostly I just feel excited for what is coming in the future.
Love watching your videos
Great video, thanks Mark!
I would get the ZV-E1 because the videos from it look amazeballs. It's also much lighter than any other camera in its range and most of its competitors are not full frame. I have a micro4loserTM camera the GH6 and it's way heavier. Wish it weren't. I've used APSC lenses on the Sony A7C and the video looked great, e.g. the Sigma art 50mm. It was oozing with bokeh
Love the channel, since you also have the A7IV are you planning on doing a comparison/versus of it and the ZV-E1 as well? They are in the same price range. Im pretty sure it mostly depends on if you want to take photos as the IV will be superior by far but still interested on your take!
yes - on the way
Great video! You answered my questions.
Glad to hear it!
Needed this video, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Sigma 16-28 or Tamron 17-28? I'd also be curious how a 2.8 full frame performs on the ZV-E1 VS a 1.4 on the ZV-E10 in lowlight. Can the better sensor make up for all of those stops?
currently on the ZV-E10, very excited or the E1 upgrade. Been looking for a 4k60 no crop for a LONG time. For a bit it only seemed like the A7Siii could do it but the price tag was to high for me!
Thanks for this comparison. Ive been considering upgrading to an FX-30 from a ZV-E10 mainly for 4k 60 and 120, but hearing the 120 is noisy is a bit concerning. Is it the same for 60? Still hard to choose the new ZV camera though because in Australia it looks like it's an extra $1000, and I'll have to get a new lens on top of that :s
4k120 is a bit noisy, yes, but for the most part in good light - extremely useable. the zv-e1 being so expensive and also likely to overheat in 4k120 quickly makes it tricky
Mark ! great video like always … i’ve already have a FX30 did you think , i’ve jump to older A7sIII or wait the ZVE1 ? I did travel vlogging and night shot … TNX !!!
travel vlogging and night shots - the ZV-E1 will be greets long as it's not really warm or you record for long periods of time
You did a really great job of explaining the differences between these two cameras, but now I'm having an even harder time deciding which I would want! The reliability of the FX30 is really necessary for me in some cases, but dang, the Z1 just has some features that would be reeeaaaallly nice for my specific needs too.
it's tough. but the reliability in long situations or warm environments is really a big deal
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yeah, I think that, at least in this context, it's a matter of the "right" choice vs. the "cool" choice, as much as I hate to admit.
Is there an A7C vs ZV-E1 comparison video in the works? These comparisons are really great!
I’ll look into it!!
Deciding between those , I looked for such a Video Thank you!!
Leaning towards FX30 For price and lenses choice and feature set as a video rig .
The ZV-1 for teh full frame look ,and the more advance AF but it's overheating so not sure it's right , not sure how long my project will be so overheating for now is a big no no
i just brought the sony fx30. the fan and a few other things swung it that way for me and my workflow
You are great as always ❤
Great review. Thank u. I gotta say though (as an FX3 owner), the high resolution LCD screen on the FX30 (2,360,000 Dot resolution) is awesome. I’m continuously squinting to ensure focus on my FX3, specifically in daylight scenarios (as it’s 1,440,000 Dot resolution ). I really wish Sony would have incorporated an EVF on the FX3 (or designed an attachment), and at the very least given us the FX30 higher resolution LCD, as they ‘clearly’ (no pun intended) had the technology to do so. - I’ll just chalk it up to companies like Sony and Canon continuously crippling their offerings for sales.
They really need to start putting good screens on all the cameras.
Nice perspective. I DID in fact order the ZV-E1. Mainly because of the dynamic stabilization. I do mostly client work in the non-profit sector overseas, crammed in the back of Toyota Hilux. I’ve had the a6400,a6600,a7iii,a7riii and working with a gimbal is just horrid. Being able to stay alert and in point while gathering content naturally is almost impossible in real time working with a big rig. Super smooth footage at 4K will be great along with my FX6. Just wanted a smaller body with crazy good stability.
May I know why you found the gimbal to be horrid? I was thinking of getting one and would love to know the disadvantages as well.
I was waiting on this
What camera is best for making long aquarium videos/ fish close-ups?
Great vid as always Mark! thanks for this! How does the Sigma 16mm F1.4 APS-C lens look on the Sony ZV E-1? Is quality too compromised because not a full frame lens? is background blurrier than on the FX-30 with that same Sigma 16mm lens? What would be the full frame lens equivalent to the Sigma 16mm F1.4 lens? Sorry for all the questions hah
I don’t know how it he 16 would look on the zv-e1, it sort of depends on how good the clear image zoom really is. the background blur will be the same on the full frame as the aps-c. the full frame equivalent to the sigma would be a full frame 24mm lens
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you Mark! 🙏
Spot on Mark
Thanks for the timely comparison and clarification. Once I got my head around Sony’s confusing model designations the choice was
easy. It comes down to sensor size. If you’re shooting APSC the FX30 is a pro upgrade from the ZV-E10. For full frame the more expensive ZV-E1 is the entry level option to the even pricer FX3.
I think I’ve got that right. Probably not. Seems Sony releases a new camera
Every other month or so. Yet plenty of pix n vids still being shot on a6000 series and A73.
Probably going to stay with a6400 and Sigma 30mm 1.4 forever.
Thanks anyhow, very informative and entertaining.
Given my current load out...I think my plan is to upgrade my zv-e10 to the fx30 and skip the new model. I have a7v and a7iv. Thanks for the video.
Great video Mark! Personally I'm torn between this and the A7IV, love the lowlight from both. I only have apsc lenses from my zve10, so the fact the A7IV has a dedicated apsc mode in 4k is what's holding me back. I do eventually want to buy full frame glass.
A7iv had great lowlight. out of the two, I would go with the A7iv, but that’s because I like to shoot photos and sometimes I get paid for photo / video projects
The A7IV is better built, has an EVF, better screen, more megapixels, and more programmable buttons. The only thing you'd probably miss from the EV1 is 4K120 but how often would you even use that?
@@VZAAGE well I have the a7iv and the thing that bugs me the most is the crop in 4K 60, and the fact that you can input LUTs in the ZV-E1 is so helpful when exposing for slog3
@DuckGoneQuackers the ZV-E1 can be used with APS-C lenses while using Clear Image Zoom (same as on A7iv) but you’ll still be able to use features like autofocus etc on the ZV-E1… this pretty much sold me to get the E1 instead of 7iv as I have only APS-C lenses just like you
On the ZV-E1 can you do "Clean output" at 4k on the HDMI port? Considering picking one up but today I record to a HDMI capture device and need the clean out. I can't find an answer anywhere, seems like yes but want to verify before I switch to a new camera system.... lol
all the Sonys have a clean out - so I can’t imagine the zv-e1 would be any different. Gerald said it has all the hdmi functionality of the A7SIIi
Keeping the APS-C update dream alive! FX-30 II? A6X00?!
The camera is overhyped. Very expensive only 12mpx no CineEi overheats no double slots for sdcards and no cfxpress plus the new Apsc sensor is amazing. Everyone is talking about the low light performance of the FX30 but I find it amazing if you know what you're doing. I prefer the cinema camera for shooting movies. Full frame I prefer only for portrait photography. Anyways RED just announced a non FF camera the V Raptor super 35 8K. Look at Blackmagic too non FF either. Anyways great video.
Yup - the fx30 is a fantastic pro level camera. The zv-e1 really is more of a premium casual camera
Great presentation thanks. You sold me on the ZV-E1. Why wouldn't Sony just put the same cooling system in the ZV-E1? What do you think of the fan systems you can get?
I love the ZV-E1 - here is a fan I use for long streaming sessions amzn.to/3Rp5J3c it works well, but I use an elastic band for extra security because sometimes the suctions cups let go.
Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. I think Sony hit the nail on the head with the design and placement of this camera within its lineup. It looks like it's going to be a fantastic option for a premium vlogging camera. All those yummy new features with the AI that they managed to squeeze into the ZV-E1 will probably end up being a huge value to vloggers. For all the reasons you mentioned though, I'm going with the FX30. Been on a fair few all-day, outdoor shoots lately, and I will need proper temperature management of my next camera. But this does change the conversation about what the camera after that should be, because I do like taking pictures as well. Once I have the FX30 in hand, it will turn my a400 into a pretty decent B-camera, with the ability to take some decent pics as well, utilizing the same lenses. But eventually I'm going to want to upgrade that as well. I had always imagined that it would be to the A7IV, or maybe the A7SIV whenever it comes out, but the ZV-E10 looks like it could also fill that role pretty easily at a lower price point. But that for future Tony to figure out. For now, I've my sights set squarely on my impending upgrade, and naught shall deter me!
sounds like the right move!!
Hey Mark, I was just about to pull the trigger on the fx30 until I heard about the sony zv-e1.
I'm going to be using the camera mostly for talking head/YT videos in my studio. 20-30 minute videos in a controlled environment. Ease of use, background blur, and picture quality are all very important to me. The FX30 seems more intimidating, like you need to really practice with it to get the best from it, while the e1 seems better out of the box for beginners.
Would you say the zv-e1 is the right choice for me?
The ZV-E1 sounds perfect for you. That's what I'd get in that scenario. Just take sure you get a nice lens - the 20mm g lens 1.8 (if you'll be sitting very close to the camera), the 24mm GM 1.4 are great options. If you have enough room to put the camera about 5 feet from you the 35mm 1.8 from Sony is a great lens at a great price. Lots of blur and fantastic image quality on all those.
hi, love your stuff!
Literally just searched for this a minute ago to figure out which I should get. You read my mind 😂
you can pay google for that now. 😂
Thanks for dropping the excessive blue! AAAANND for the great content!
I still like blue - but I wanted a cleaner look 🤣
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I do love your content and the care and hard work that you put into it! I`m trying not get to crazy on the RGB madness that took over YT few years ago ... but sometimes my videos in short format get " mud like fill "because the mix of warm artificial light in the background and the natural of day light on me! (just sharing) ... About this cameras... what would be smartest EZ-E1 or a A7C for a youtuber?
Hi Mark！ thank you for bring such a wonderful video. I’d like to ask if it’s usable to install an apac lens on zve1? Cuz I know for a fact that when you turn on the active dynamic stabilization, you’ll get a crop like from 16mm into 22 or 23mm, which means it’s possible to have an apsc zoom lens installed on the body and get a quite light pack.
This is something I want to check - I want to see if the digital stab cuts in far enough to get rid of any vignette on an APS-C lens and still work. If so - that would be awesome
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis That’s great! Looking forward to your updates!
Great video Mark! I've only owned the FX30 for a week, but think I made the right decisions over the ZV-E1 for my TH-cam content. One day I hope to go full-frame, but would probably opt for a Sony a7iv.
I have the A7IV and I’m curious to why you would choose it over the ZV-E1, which has much better video features
@@joshuaaruiz well the a7iv us more versatile with photography, doesn’t overheat, and is weather sealed, right?
@@jimiboi87 yes, very true. I'd say the only thing that really bugs me about it is the 4K 60 crop. I can work around it but if that were fixed, the camera would be near perfect for what I use it for
@@joshuaaruiz That's really cool. I am wanting to get an A7iv myself. All these really cool cameras have been coming out; ZV-E1, Canon R8, Lumix SHii, but they all seem to be missing one thing or another that the A7iv has, and I need a good all-rounder for video and photos. I'm getting ready to sell all my Canoon M50 stuff, which has been a great camera, to make the jump to something that's full frame, shoots log, and has 10 bit colors.
I currently have a A7IV but thought about getting a cam just for video to put on my gimble so I don’t jump back and forth between pictures and video. I’m a beginner videographer but I feel like the FX30 is a better cheaper option and with two cars slot options even though ZV-E1 is more attractive for low light since I do more low light work and own more full frame glass. Hmmm
I decided on neither and ordered the 11mm 1.8 sony lens for my zv-e10 instead.
nice!!
i would like to see you do a break down the monitor plus app for the sony's...?
it’s good - but laggy, I’ll try to do a vid on it
How about comparing a ZV-E1 vs A7S4. That would really be awesome. I think that would be a great video. Both full frame Sonys under 3k.
it’s on the way for sure
Hi again ....- i like a7iv but with that overheat issues...mmm....I liked the cooler system of fx30 but no having mecanic shutter and i readed i may cause some artifacts on photos with electronic shutter,,its that true?
Nightclubs and bar interior shots (both photo and video) which is better? Does it have a lot of effect if it is full frame? The FX30 seems better, but low light shooting is important to me.
The zv-e1 is best
I've been struggling between the thought of just spending the money on an a7s3 or fx3 vs getting an fx30 or zv-e1. My primary focus is filming sports and getting high quality slo-mo so I wouldn't be doing much low-light shooting. However, I have been asked to shoot weddings, real estate and the random pro-mo. With that being said, what would your suggestion be?
If shooting weddings and real estate - you gotta do A7SIII, fx3 or FX30. For best slo-mo - FX3 or A7SIII
Very helpful video, Mark. I’m an amateur photographer who would like to take high quality videos of his family, including a baby. I rely on my iphone pro at the moment because my R5 is too heavy to handhold, but I'm looking to upgrade my video. I want to be able to handhold the camera, keep multiple people in focus easily, and shoot primarily inside, which is causing me to consider the ZVE1, although the overheating issue and heavier lenses (if I move beyond the kit) are giving me pause. Does the ZVE1 seem like the best choice given my circumstances? If so, what would be the ideal lens choice for shooting a family with this camera, while keep things light / compact? Thanks again for the awesome content!
24-70 f 4 G
This is what your cameras brain is doing with the sensor image when using Clear Image Zoom and outputting 4K video
ZVE1 = 12MP
4K Video = 8MP (about)
The 12MP sensor is already DOWN sampling
That allows you 0.5x clear image zoom and you are still inside of 8MP (4K video)
as you zoom, the camera effectively shifts the pixels while keeping you inside of 4k :)
love your videos
Great vid as always man...
Well, I really like the full frame low noise performance, like my A7IV, but in this case, just as we talked yesterday, I would go with the FX-30 because of the climate here... too hot and I would certainly get overheat issues!!!
See ya in the next one! "Ok, bah-bye"!
😂
Mark, great comparison/summary. Thanks!
I am a Canon guy but I am interested in video on Sony cameras. ZV-E1 includes too many features I do not use and less features I want to use. FX30 is excellent FX camera, not VLOG camera. I will wait for a7c2 possibly Sony introduces in this year. I like size/weight/features of a7c but too old tech camera - still good camera though. Any info about a7c2?
i certainly haven’t heard anything about an A7CII - but they don’t tell me anything 🤣
I've got both the zv-e10 and fx30 and love them both. I understand what Sony are trying to do with the zv-e1 however I don't really think it hits the mark. it's too expensive for the target market. The zv-e10 was a no brainer as it was so affordable and at over $2000+ I'd rather have an a7iv. I honestly think most young content creators 9 times out of ten are better off using their iPhone or getting a proper mirrorless camera that won't overheat and have so many drawbacks
I just bought the FX30 last week an haven’t opened yet. I was going to pair it with my A7iv as my b cam for interviews but now idk if I want to return it to get the ZV-E1 for the low light an amazing auto focus. What camera one you prefer for interviews a sometimes streaming gaming??
stick with the fx30 for that. it’s awesome - perfect for interviews or longer streams. the zv-e1 is going to have heat issues streaming for longer periods I would say. the autofocus on the fx30 is pretty much perfect - so no worries there - but for sure the zv-e1 is better in lowlight
Hey guys, which one would be better for a solely TH-cam studio setup use?
If you don't need to record for long periods and you have the extra $400 then the ZVE1 is the camera to get. Although if money wasn't a factor then I'd probably grab the A7RV instead.
Agree. If you do paid gigs, shoot others, in a studio, or can control lighting then FX30 is better (you’d never want clients to wait because of an overheated camera). But if you shoot yourself, do vlogs, use for travel videos then ZVE1 is better. You’ll thank that low iso performance when filming outside at night. Although personally, if you aren’t recording for 30 mins or more straight, then i’d take the ZVE1 even in a studio setting (such as product showcase contents). But keep in mind, ZVE1 as a vlogging camera is already on the top/high end, pick it if you’re already earning enough or if you’re not contented with the video quality of a $1000 camera.
I think I’ll get the ZVE1 because I do have the Sony a7iii already. I don’t want to deal with crop sensor or poor low light performance.
My question is: can the FX30 produce great results with a 24mm 1.4 gmaster? …. I think the ZVE1 is the best value …
Hi Mark
First of all…gret videos!
What would you get:
1. SONY ZV E1
2. Wait for the Sony A7c II
it really depends (plus I have no idea what the a7cii will bring) - what are you shooting?
sir i am a cinematic photographer i am confused whether to buy fx30 or zv-i1 plz tell me sir
Any idea when the next version of 6600 is coming out , want an APS-C for carrying lighter lenses.
I want that too - but I haven't heard anything. Sony keeps everything quiet
I have a question! If I want to use the tiny 11mm cropped lens on a Fullframe body.... It will have better focus on that new ZV-E1 rather than the A7iv, right? And what about the new stab mode, will work using the 11mm as ASPC like a 16mm on the Z1?
Well, the a7iv focus is amazing - and that has an apsc crop mode so the 11 will work perfectly on it. Putting the 11 on the zv-e1 means you’ll have to clear image zoom in. The autofocus should work well though after you do rhat
Bummer to hear about the screen. Any suggestions for a good monitor? Maybe somehow I could use my iphone? I use my iPhone to record currently and man this screen is nice.
And what’s so bad about smaller HDMI? Seems more advanced to me than anything. But maybe compatible issue
you can monitor with you phone yes. Micro hdmi cables and ports break easily. and it’s a costly repair
I still don’t understand how the FX30 delivers RAW. is it 6k raw or a cropped 4K raw?
thank SO MUCH for this video, im planning to leave canon, because i hate the fact that they dont allow third part lense to RF mount, and this is an offense to consumer. just one question: the crop on the apsc on fx30 is for everything? i buy a 24mm, it stills crop 1.5x everytime?
It has a smaller APS-C sensor - so any lens that you look at you multiply by 1.5 to get the field of view for a full frame. Example - if you put a 16mm on the fx30 - it will look like a 24 on a full frame in terms of field of view.
Thanks for video :) Do you think, that would be possible to use custom cooling for Zv e1 ? On paper it looks really good except of overheating.. I saw some videos on the youtube, where people use some 2 or 3 little fans. Maybe it could be good topick for next video ? hmm 🤔 :) Thank you
yes - I was thinking that. IPhondo used to do that with his a6300 back when he shot all his videos on it
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis would be interesting to compare temperatures and recording times with this kind of "cooler" :)
Tough choice I guess I’d get the ez-v1 as the image quality and setup is faster and for more demanding professional job I’d go for a rental of an fx6 or go with an a7rV or bmpcc 6k for the internal Braw recording
I just ordered a FX30 here in the Philippines. I already have a FX6 I ordered before coming from the US. I just want a three camera setup for a podcast. I will order another FX30 next month.
nice!!
i'm going to be insane like you and have both! I have the FX30, so now all I need to do is pick up the ZV-E1. When that will happen, I am not sure. But, it is def on my wishlist. I think the two together will make a great pairing.
P.S. I think not including a full sized HDMI was necessary to keep the price down. The ZV-E1 already has the sensor of the A7Siii and the autofocus of the A7R5. So, including a full sized HDMI would have made it way too close to the A7Siii. The single SD card slot was also needed for the lower price.
Join my in my lunacy!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I actually like the creative features of the ZV-E1 where you can choose a stylized color grade with the cinemascope bars. It can be used in a fun way to shoot something different. I think Sony created a smart camera. Not only for vlogging, but, with tools to have fun with it.
Does streaming run cooler than recording? I’ve heard this device has overheating issues but whatever I get, I plan to use for streams as well. Needs to handle 1080 30 for 6 hours 10 hours hell even 24 hours at time.
you’ll need the fx30 for that.
I was so close to getting ZV-E1 when the seller stopped me and asked me to come back tomorrow (today) after I checked the Dynamic Active Steadyshot. Apparently, it is 2.94K being upscaled to 4K. And you said, "the loss of quality" is still there!
Then thinking about FX30, it uses an APS-C sensor... Hmm...
I love your videos. They're just great! I'd love to buy the ZV-E1, but I think it's just way too overpriced. Greetings from Germany!
