Nice review! I like the new dynamic stabilization, I hope they include it in all the future cameras
Seems like it's a perfect travel camera to pair with the 7iv! 😲
Great overview as always! Very tempting, but I think I will keep my a7siii.
Hope you're feeling better today! This cam is on my wish list.
I'll pick it up for walk & talks as it seems a good bit lighter than my A7Siii. I'm old and holding up the A7siii with the lens is just too much for me. But I still prefer my A7siii for most of my B roll and stills while I'm out on a shoot. I sometimes use the ZV-1 for walking vlog and that has worked surprisingly well. Great video, thanks!
Really great video Peter and great aspect.
Great video as always Peter!!! Eagerly awaiting the settings video for the ZV-E1!!! Do you ever use the S&Q mode for slow mo?
I'm thinking of using this as my "Run and Gun" camera with the A74 in my bag for full set ups while I travel. It's going to replace my A7C for travel since this one seems better for video and lighter than the A74
Nice review and video as usual ! and oufh this one got me curious as a daily driver 😮💨
An industry professional will always struggle with the heat dissipation with the ZVE1, so I'd never give up the Sony A7SIII for that reason, but as a second shooter, travel style camera it is incredible. Why Sony do not update their flagship camera's is mind-blowing and ultimately disappointing, us early adopters who spent 4000+ on the A7SIII etc are left without such updates on the much cheaper ZVE1 that has the same hardware, COME ON SONY.
You can even now have all the autofocus video lock on features when you use clear image zoom on the ZV-E1 for video! Sad that they won't do a firmware update to allow this on the A7S III. : (
It have the new ai chip inside. So it isn't possible to get it per firmware on the a7siii.
@@pirii88 Exactly, it's a choice Sony are making, likely due to the release of the A7s4 later this year, which is a dirty move by Sony
So you have to buy the new camera. It's also a bummer they didn't do a firmware update enabling a6600 for catalyst wherein the rx0ii that came before the a6600 has it.
Camera companies are so far behind like iPhones. The only thing they have advantage is the physics, but the software is lacking so much. I guess everyone dreams of being able to use your phone as a camera, but with the same natural bokeh, etc.
Thanks Peter for another useful and interesting video! 😃👍
haha I didn't even notice the view finder was missing. Great overview!!
Viewfinder is definitely useful when doing manual focus shots on bright days for run and gun stuff
Brilliant move by Sony to capture a wider consumer base as well as give creators a great run 'n gun every day driver. I'm concerned that the body size will be too small and uncomfortable initally but with time... I'll keep my A7siii and FX30 for the time being, and fall back on my trusty ZV-1 I usually keep in my pocket. Great job Peter, keep 'em coming!
A7Siii is the perfect hybrid for a photographer who love do also Video making
The ZVE1 is basically focusing on high quality vlogging that's why it's light weight and compact and minimal so it's easy to hold on your hand for vlog
It’s 12MP with no viewfinder. It is NOT a photography camera.
Love your reviews, this will be my first Sony camera. Btw you making light of you stumbling on words is hilarious
Dynamic stabilization, pretty cool, outer framing is great. No cfexpress ? Whaaaat ? No 4k 120fps yet and only with v90 ... mhhh . It's a cheaper alternative but I think I ll stick with my fx3. Awesome review brother. You are much appreciated!!!
"Only way to get rid of it is an angle grinder" *nervous laugh*. Scene cuts to angle grinding...
Lol. Right. I was like “this is gonna escalate quickly.”
@@bkrnj_ 😂😂😂
Did you ever put out a ZVE1 settings video? I don’t see it in the description. Thanks
Really wanted the internal mic to be flame for a more compact setup but after that outdoor test, seems like an external mic is needed
Yeah, it works in run n gun situations though.
I think the most advantage of ZVE1 is its sensor in dark light.
Exactly. Finally a positive comment about this camera.
It has the same sensor as an A7siii though
such a sick camera!
good for the full frame, this will be good for a second body for me, like the lut thing
its the AI chp and sensor, making the AF as fast and reliable as A7r5 for with the low light sensitivity of A7sIII, all that for 2/3rd the price make it a pretty lethal combination.
Maybe try adding some Sugru (moldable rubber) to the strap lugs to eliminate them digging in to your hands.
Okay Peter, the sensor may be the same but: Are you sure that the audio preamp of this camera is the same than the A7Siii? Cheers!
It must be a beast with a Sony 16-35 f4 PZ lens. Especially easy to use with the zoom near the shutter button.
I use this lens on a Sony a7iv.
And with clear zoom + crop mode it changes into the 16-105mm (with a fullHD) or 16-70mm (with 4K) while still having a good image quality.
have you experienced any over-heating on your a7iv?
@@DirectorCyclone nope, never.
Your highlights are so blown out. Maybe I’m just used to smartphones and all their balancing
I have to imagine that Sony will be coming out with some compact wide angle lenses for full frame for the zv-e1. Maybe a smaller 16-35 f2.8 gm ii
buy the sigma 16-28 2.8
Tamron has 20-40 that’s lightweight and 2.8
I love this camera. i have a cage with a silicone grip that makes it ergonomic.
Do you think the Sony camera Ai features will work with lenses other than Sony ones?
Is there an apsc mode like the a7siii? The only example I've seen so far with apsc lenses is using the zoom function.
I just got this camera and upgraded from A7III, it’s such a big upgrade and I think for the price (2199) it’s just too good to pass
Questions: Is there no visual downgrade from Sony 7siii? Is it the same sensor? Also what is it about this that made you ditch that camera? And what do you lose by switching? Thank you in advance
Just watch the video
Heat Dissipation which affects recording time
Good thing i didn't got the a7c. This will be a good addition to my a6600 and fx30 and start of a fullframe journey. Still dreaming of fx3 though. 😂🤣
I think this would be an amazing studio camera, but it seems a little fragile (mini HDMI, not weather sealed) for "robust" use. Not knocking it at all. It definitely has it's place in the Sony lineup.
Thanks for the review. But not I’m torn between this and the FX30 lol
Do you keep your 16-35 f2.8 GM for most of your stuff or are you going ti switch to the PZ f4 16-35?
I’ll keep my GM for as long as I can haha!
I just wish they'd do a firmware update on the FX3 and A7sIII to match these new features.
Hey Peter do you think Sony would bring some of the features of the ZV-E1 to the A7SIII as a firmware update? Edit. Nevermind I see that you already answered that in a previous response
Thx 🙏
The ZV-E1 is a definite creators camera. Because you do get 10-bit SLog3 recording, it's more than a vlogging camera. And with the other creative modes with the special looks settings and 2:35:1 ratio bars, you can really make interesting vlogs to say the least. Even though I consider myself a filmmaker, I think the ZV-E1 can give me a lot of creative choices out of the box that I can use for filmmaking.
I've been using Sony ZV-E10 for the past year, so this would be a great step-up. Can you use the e-mount APS-C lenses from that with this ZV-E1 camera?
Yup!
Hi Peter, now that you have had this for a while, how do you find the overheating ? And in 4k 120? Have the a7s3 but torn between the zv-e1 or a7s4 for b cam
Haven’t been an issue once 🫡
Very nice review peter what about low light video.
Same as the SIII
I am still with my A7III :D and there are only two features that I lack - flip screen and at least 60fps 4K. Nothing else.
I would upgrade to this if my sityation would be similar. A7iii is a bit dated for video
@@Donbros still does a great job with HLG3 profile, but slow mo needs 4K, not just FullHD
I think the ZV-E1 is following the logical path of the ZV series and like most cameras we've seen the higher end flagships eventually trickle down to the more "beginner" entry level/budget camera systems. That being said, this is obviously a great camera for anyone looking to get into TH-cam or the like with content creation and from everything I've seen/read the features are very tailored to a broad range of creators. Would I sell my a7SIII for this? No, it's not the same camera and doesn't offer what I need from my cameras for my business.
is it really comparable to the alpha7sIII? What about the low light performance? What about the rolling shutter? is the camera perhaps more comparable to the alpha7IV?
Same sensor, same function. Rolling shutter is the same, low light performance is the same!
I'm definitely buying one, but I have a theory about the absent 4k 120p at launch. Without a fan, I imagine it will overheat almost instantly when filming 4k 120. But at half the price of the fx-3, who cares?!
Exactly
Was considering getting a a7c but might have to just buy this
still no 4k120, over heating issues, no double card slot (HUGE KILLER FOR ME), no EVF, no full HDMI
this will not be replacing my a7S III. Thank u for listening lol.
Peter, thanks for the review!
Choosing between a7iv and zv-e1, what would you recommend?
The price is around the same, while versatility and grip means a lot.
If you regularly shoot photos as well or value a viewfinder on your camera, I would certainly recommend the A7iv. If you shoot mainly video, and you are familiar with using cameras I would recommend you to also have a look at the FX30 which may be more versatile in the long run around the same price point.
on the a74 you can do everything the ZV-e1 does in post, you can also use APSC lenses and get a 4k image. Both are awesome in low light. The A74 gives you a viewfinder, dual card slots, and does not have the heat issues the ZV-E1 is already showing(above 25c).
I would advise waiting a month until after release and seeing some real world users reviews and some brutaly honest reviews. every camera is awesome when you get it free to review.
I like how you flip and throw that ~$2.2k body around :)
in 2 months all channels: why i returned the zv-e1
No.1 reason: micro hdmi
No.2 crop for new features or only Auto settings
No.3 doesn't look professional for professional job
No.4 overheats in summer time...and so on.....
2100 $ for a gimmick camera, no thank you
No. (85%, 1,004 Votes)
Yes! (15%, 173 Votes)
Lol, It does shoot RAW though ^^
@@PeterLindgren1 the sad part is all review channels will do the "why i returned the camera" in the same time....not the B&H specs that said only jpeg, and not mentioned raw
I’m not gonna return mine, I love it as a main vlog cam along my ZV1 🤘🏼.
I can assure you it shoots RAW, I have the camera at hand.
Valentin your comment is spot on. Saw someone talking about a bunch of stuff wrong with the image ann the Lumix s5ii. months ago they were going crazy about the camera. Your comment deserves more thumbs!
Hey peter! You think it's worth in getting the zv-e1 instead of the A7s3?? I was literally going to pull the trigger on the a7s3/fx3..
Do you film in area's that get hotter than 25c? do a search on ZV-E1 heat issues.
If you’re gonna buy a workhorse, get the FX3 👌🏼
What do you think about this for Music Video recording?
Does this camera have. DCI 4k? or just 3820x1960 4k?
I don’t like the fact that Sony don’t release firmware updates as they should compared to other brands like Fujifilm and Panasonic. My A7RIV and A7SIII have not had any firmware update for long time.
Does the Z1 E1 heat up continuous recording ?
Watch Gerald undone, yes it has issues above 25c.
Love zoom rockers, but seems weird to have the on-off switch, too, concetric with the shutter button.
I can see someone zoomin in and also switching the camera to off, unwillingly...
Peter, what was your experience with overheating?
Watch the video =)
@@PeterLindgren1 Haha fair enough, I was watching it but dad duty called.
Didn't even notice the lack of viewfinder, which you point out, is unnecessary for most non-photographers
I think Dynamic Steady Shot + the aps-c 15mm f1.4 would be an awesome combo for this camera!!!
That would be like a 30mm lens 😅
That's not how it works dynamic steady shot uses the the whole sensor to record the video and after that uses algorithmic crop for the stabilation like gopro or insta camera does. It's not a static crop. The crop moves around on the whole sensor. Better buy an ultra wide full frame lens like 14 or 16 to get like 24mm 28mm equivalent. All those things I mentioned only applies to dynamic stabilation
@@PeterLindgren1 In crop mode it would be like a 30 but what if you ran it in normal mode with the vignette outer circle and ran the dynamic steady shot? You have 15mm, can you throw it on for shizz and giggles?
you only have a 12mp sensor using an APSC lens on this camera has the same issues as the A7s3. you end up with much less than 4K and not much room in post. The A74 is the camera you want if you want to use Fullframe and APSC lenses as it still has awesome low light and full 4K in apsc mode.
Dynamic steady shot is automatically a 1.5 crop 👍🏼
Do they make a cage for this yet??
Looks good and solves ALL the problems I had with the ZV-E10... Just feel like its slightly over priced for the Vlogging demographic.
can you tell the problems you had with the zve10?? pls
Very interesting problems with zv e10
It is a very logical upgrade to the ZV-e10, the ZV-e10 didn't work for me, but for the price of this camera I would have a tough time buying it. It is a good entry into the Sony system though as that is a lens system that can last you a lifetime.
Is this a direct replacement to the A7SIII or will we also see an A7SIV in the future?
A7SIV will break the internet!!
A massive upgrade
I think the FX3 replaces the A7siii . This camera will be the next level down without the operability and reliability (overheating).
I like this camera! really good quality in a cheaper package... but im not selling the S3 to get this one.
It sure is. Nah, keep the SIII, It’s fantastic for what it is!
I see it's full frame and I see it's smol... Now I'm researching if it would work for me on an FPV drone!
It has Ibis :(
@@PeterLindgren1 Dang, stuck with hero 11. But that with firmware tweaks can look amazing!
what about picture quality?
Great overview,how much you sold your A7siii?
Thanks! 3k 👍🏼
Main Con of this Camera to me is the Heat Dissipation which affects recording time Primarily both internally & externally
High Duration Recording is the heart of a camera but it's reasonable I guess but in Countries like India I dunno how it can survive 'cuz 4k 30 can't even survive a 30°C for more than 30 mins and here in India it's atleast 38°C or more so.... It's either FX3 or A7Siv (yet to be launched)
Don’t shoot in india
Great stabilization...
What was the temperature in your room when doing the heat test?
22-23 degrees ish
Does this have dual native iso?
The microphone may be as good as on Nikon Z30 which is the best internal camera mic on the market.
Only interesting thing is the ReWorked Menu and Functions from the FX3 .. otherwise i would say no
I am wondering if the 4K120 is going to be 4:2:2 as there is only a SD card slot…
You can shoot that on a V90 card, but not in ALL I codec 👍🏼. So it’ll be recorded to the Sd Card 🫡

@@PeterLindgren1 Have you found any reliable leaks? can you tell me the specifications that will be carried?
I’m a Sony shooter but seriously considering S5ii Lumix… seems better value for the $$. Maybe I’ll see what the Lumix S1Hii brings
Starting to get to a point where you can't go wrong with any brand almost!
I like it as a B cam
Please do a comparison with zv e10
Can this use cfexpress card?
Great Vlog camera with that stabilization and Front/ Back microphone directionality
Next step, this guy VS the FX30, price wise, it looks like it's a definite competitor
If Sony made an electronic viewfinder to fit in the hot shoe, I'd buy it hands down. As you know, the LCD screen is useless for critical focus, framing and exposure in bright sunny days! Why Sony doesn't offer this expensive accessory for the FX3/30 and this new E1 is unbelievable.
You'd just get a A7Siii if you had to have a evf
Then don’t buy it
The ZV series' naming convention makes no sense lmfao. Here I am on my 2 ZV-1's still and it's sibling are an APS-C and full frame 😂
Wie teuer wird die Kamera sein?
Don't forget you gotta buy lenses for this $2,200 camera. If you're a TH-camr who's mostly going to keep the camera on a tripod, your best bet is to go with the Sony Z90 camcorder.
I've probably watched every review of this camera and concluded that it's certainly not meant for content creators. Sony hasn't sent the E1 to any fashion, travel, beauty, fitness, lifestyle, food, etc vloggers for reviews, whom are the people it's supposedly made for. Sony has only sent it to videographers that mainly compare the E1 to the FX3 or A7S3 instead of comparing it to the E10 or other cameras in the ZV line up. This is definitely much more of an A series camera, than a ZV series.
Film makers like who?
It is missing alot of the features their A series uses need for professional use though, no viewfinder, no dual cards(can't shoot a wedding with this), proper heat management, other channels showing it falls apart above 25c.
This is a camera for tech people not professionals, those that buy off what the product sheet says not how it performs in critical situations.
This will be bought by hobbyist and TH-cam producers. It will have huge sales and make sony a ton of money as it ticks all the boxes this audience wants.
this is being sent to influencers so their sycophants will buy it not to actual content creators, good business move actually sell it to the know nothings
Good Luck Herr Lindgren! 30 Second videos with ur new ZV-E1. Overheating will the Arctic Wolf which will finish the reindeer off! Oh well, look at it this way. Short videos, save storage space & editing time. 😎😎
Someone didn't watch the video =)!
@@PeterLindgren1 Jason Morris in down under and ur buddy Herr Undone did a whole slew of tests just for u. Free, u didn't even have to buy the camera. Guess what? Their cameras overheated like crazy! So I know that camera would be perfect for me too-just like u cause I'm in Fairbanks, Alaska! I could also make 30 second videos! Hey a good commerical only needs to be 15 seconds or less & they can cost a ton of money! Good for the filmmaker! I worked on two for one company a few years back that cost tons of cash--up on a glacier! We could shoot two more, they were both 15 seconds long! 😎😎
How much is it?
Is the low light capabilities the same as the a7siii?
yeah
Lumix s2 for the same money is better?
Lumix is cheaper!
This thing overheat in 8-12 mins continues recording under the sun in Australia beach just 2 month ago, and that's not even consider a hot day. I was shocked that how useless it is, and the guy from camera store thta let us test it was so embrassed because they were supposed to bring some suprise to our testing group instead of shock. It seems more likely that this camera was designed in EU or CA, which make sense since these place is the perfect testing ground for this camera ewspecially in winter.
Works great for me!
Overheating seems to be the biggest killer of this camera. Any thoughts? 😊
Haven’t had any issues with that myself! Did a couple of tests above an hour without issues
@@PeterLindgren1 considering this, a7iv or fx30. How do you see this in that mix !
Looks like a non-summer vacay camera.
I've seen tests where it recorded for just over two hours without overheating. I think the main cause of overheating will be long recordings. But, if you don't do long interviews or long shots, you should be good.
move to canada,
I pre-ordered and cant wait for it to show up, its going to pair up epically with my A7RV, now I got to figure out lens, 14mm g master or do I go with a wide angle zoom g master lens....this is the question i will be debating for the next few days over a few glasses of evening bourbon and cokes while photographing some backyard birds. Love your videos.
Sony 11mm 1.8 apsc will be your best wide angle lens I think. Mostly in dynamic stabe, where it crops anyways, you don't have to adjust a thing.
it's only 12mp so go with some cheap low resolution shit glass since it can't make use of quality glass anyway. Save the money
@AzsiabaSzakadtam OK I literally just read your comment and I bought one, will be here Next week, this is something that I've overlooked. But it will be interesting to see what this looks like against. The Sigma's 17 mm F4. And then I'm also going to compare it against the Sony. APS C1018 millimeter lens. So basically you now have got me making a new video based off of what you put in my head. So thank you. Give me a few weeks to month and I'll have that video.
Great video Peter but I would never get rid of my FX3 or even the A73s for this. Heat management and size matter to me. However, i do find it extremely frustrating that Sony tries to squueze money out of people by intentionally not pushing these new software updates to their "slightly" older flagships. This camera has the same hardware as Fx3/A7s3. You think we are going to see these software updates? 🙃
I haven’t experienced any overheating issues, but I get it!
I doubt there will be any updates 🫡
They cant be any update Its only the new chipset who is hardware that enable this possibility
ZVE1 is a good camera, but as a vlogging camera, it fails. The primary feature of a vlogging camera is that it should be able to shoot stable videos even without a stabilizer because vlogging is all about shooting videos anytime and anywhere, and you can’t carry a stabilizer with you all the time. However, Sony’s anti-shake function is very poor. ZVE1’s anti-shake function is very unstable when shooting handheld walking videos. Active Stabilization requires large cropping and affects image quality. You must use an external stabilizer every time you shoot. You don’t need to buy Zve1 at all. Other Sony models are similar. Even if you use a stabilizer, ZVE1 IBIS cannot handle micro-shakes well, and you still need to use post-shake reduction when you get home. A 20-minute 4K walking video takes more than 2-3 hours to convert in CATALYST BROWSE (even longer if your computer is not fast enough). As for Zve1’s AI anti-shake and tracking functions, they cause too much damage to image quality. You can feel it even on the small screen of your phone. It’s okay to play with them, but try not to use them in practice.
As a vlogger, this is a great camera.
It’s no wonder the price ZVE1 wasn’t mentioned… while it’s $2200 USD, nearly half the cost of A7SIII when released. It is still hard to take seeing that the ZVE10 at release was $700 USD 😅
Yeah but that’s apsc. You can’t compare the two. It also doesn’t have all the new features this new camera has. You have to compare this with other full frame cameras that is great in low light. Is the 10 as good in Low light. Nope so not comparable
@@Chris-ey7zy I get it. It’s basically a A7SIII/FX3 stripped further down without taking away most of the important image quality features for half the price. From that perspective, it’s a no-brainer for professionals to pick one up. But my point is that it is marketed to the vlogging enthusiast, even has a subtitle “vlogging camera”. Which aligns with the audience at the ZV-E10 range and have the budget range that’s similar to that camera. In this case, to have to spend 3 times is very steep don’t you think?
@@jimmystewartuk it’s going to cost more because of bigger sensor. A7C is 1800. That’s 400 less than e V1. Now add on newer camera with new features that no other cameras have. Let’s add 100 for each new feature. Super active stabilizer, cropping 4k to put subject wherever you want it, better touch screen, a microphone that recognizes where subject is, low noise in extreme low light, improved autofocus with new sensor, 15stop dynamic range, s cine tone, cine mode , ability to bake in luts, ability to automatically change aperture if other subjects come into scene, 5axis gyro more then 3 on gimbals, product focusing, time lapse, and it comes in white too.
If that’s too much then go back to ev-10. It seems priced well for what they gave.
@@Chris-ey7zy thanks Chris for your time on the reply. I get what you’re saying and if I could guess you’re a user already owning a similar price or more camera? The ZV-E1 is an awesome camera from a professional perceptive, a slightly stripped down version of A7SIIII for half the price. I just think the marketing could have been different, due to the camera taking up the ZV-E line… it’s labelled as the vlogging camera 😅 For $2200, consumers on this line would see this upgrade as expensive to just get to full frame, when comparing to the competition. For example the Canon R8: It’s full frame, but only 1499… it’s a hard sell to the market Sony targeted.
@@jimmystewartuk I’m in Sony system. I could care less about Canon. Plus canon don’t allow 3rd party lenses which makes them more expensive since you can only buy Canon lenses. I own fx-30 and A7iv. Plus will trade in A7C for this. Sony may market it for vloggers but all these new features like auto framing and active stabilizers would be crazy useful for gimbal users. Plus not having viewfinder makes this camera less too heavy and considering the size is smaller that A7C is another plus. My A7C was 1899 I believe so paying 400 $ more for 10bit , better for lower light which lots of us shoot in, unique ai features no other cameras have, etc is reasonable.
New vloggers or new camera owners can get Ze-e10. Sony didn’t say buy this as your first vloggers camera. I don’t see that advertised anywhere. Plus who cares if honestly you think it’s expensive. Sony is the one taking the risk of how it’s priced. They decided they could price it what they did and make money. Not everything revolves around you or any photographer. Photographers seem to think everything revolves around them. Manufacturers build the cameras and decides the price. If it’s overpriced then market decides. But manufacturers decides what price they price their cameras. If you owned a store or factory then make it and decide on price. You put in the work and decide how much you get paid as photographer right. 400$ more than A7C which is outdated now doesn’t seem that pricy. The more you use your camera the higher cheaper it is what you bought it for. Are you an accountant or photographer ? Honestly just buy whatever and use it. I must have used my A7C like hundreds of times every year I bought it on paid jobs. It’s easily paid for itself
True that! With this ZV-E1, there is no point for the a7Siii anymore or the a7S lineup. I honestly think the E1 just buried the hatched of the a7S series now. Great review as always Peter Lindgren and I do plan to get this camera in the future as well.
Lol. No. Dual SD. C Fast. Better thermal performance for long form content. Full size HDMI. Those are more than enough to keep the a7siii and fx3 lines relevant to alot of corporate and documentary professionals. That reliability, backup-ability, and rig-ability (because of the full size HDMI) will mean alot of people go for those other models still.
Now we just have the wait for Sony to give us those firmware updates to the a7siii 🙃
@@MikeMarrah i think he meant the a7s series, since the zve1 will be enough for any amateur and the fx3 exists for a more proffesional use case
@@cherianphilip4707 maybe. Although if that's the argument, then the E1 wasn't necessary to kill the a7s, the fx3 already did that enough by itself 🤷🏽♂️. There was already a strong possibility of there just being a fx3ii/fx4 instead of an a7siv.
@@cherianphilip4707 You're correct! The a7S series has no more reason to exist anymore. Back when the a7Sii came out, I bought it because it was the affordable internal 4K resolution camera at that time for $3,000 usd. In 2016, the next cheapest video camera from Sony was there FS5 at $5,000 usd. Sony covered the gaps now with the E1 and FX3.
@@MikeMarrah that's what im already saying that the FX3 already killed the a7S series once it was released. The E1 just buried it deeper now. There are no more reasons to release a future a7SIV because we all know a future FX3-ii will be out within the next 6 months afterwards. I never said the E1 is suppose to replace the FX3 as the FX3 is in its own category and the specs are far too apart. Even the FX30 still differentiate a lot from the E1. I own the FX3 and no way would I ever get an a7Siii as I want a dedicated cinema camera. The E1 would be my perfect vlogging and general use video camera which is why I do plan to pick one up.
