I need help. I currently use A6300 with 30 and 85mm prime and I do photo coverage for small events like birthday parties and such. I am planning on upgrading but cant decide. Should I get the new A6700 and sell my old gear to buy a tamron 17-70 f2.8 or should I get the A7iii then buy two prime lenses like 35 and 85mm f1.8 I never shoot videos btw.

I've been looking into the Sony a7iii and this video was super helpful, thank you! Do you have any specific recommendations on cameras that are a bit more affordable that do well with video in low light (recording in 4k)? I'm struggling to find the best option right now, I want to use the camera for recording content (tutorials inside my poorly lit gym, and videos both indoors and outdoors) as well as hopefully get some more cinematic looking videos going! I'm just really looking for a quality camera for video and have been so lost!

We understand your point and the age of the camera but the price difference is massive to the A7iiii, the video would be turned downwards to high spec smaller frame instead for the price instead of double up. Ive ordered a new A7iii with 28-70 lens for 1042 euro today. If i wanted a A7iiii it would be double up. Rather spend more money on a A7C.

£1000 vs £1900 though? It’s like comparing a Toyota Corolla vs Porsche Cayenne, it is obviously better but few people are trying to decide between such different budgets. Realistically if you’re looking at the a7iii, you’re considering the A7C, a6700/a6600, maybe a canon r10 or r8
@JackWoodhams9 күн бұрын
But for those who just want a camera and price isn’t an issue a comparison is important. And you’re here watching this video right? So surely there’s a niggle in the back of your mind as to whether the a7iii is still viable.

@ you can create depth with the Osmo pocket 3 it just depends on what you film and where. And cinematic has nothing to do with depth anyway. Cinematic is just a generic word that describes something that looks filmic, but there are so many different film styles that the term cinematic is a bit pointless because one glove doesn’t fit all.
