Sony ZV-E1 VS FX3 Why Did Sony Make This Camera???

[@RyanKao]

He nailed it. This camera is literally so good

[@daneoh]

Bought a ZV-E1 and surfed YT for Sony videos to hype myself up hah. Great content and loved the Pow Wow shoot. Reminds me of the times I got to visit the Lakota people at Pine Ridge reservation when I was a kid. I just got into filmmaking so definitely subscribing!

[@timsolomon2840]

How long does your zv-e1 camera stay in 4k 50 before overheating? Does it overheat in FHD 50? Thank you very much.

Love how your Pup 🐶 is just passed out on the couch 🛋behind you 😊 Great video on the cameras, I use the FX3 and FX30 for my shoots, but I am drooling over your exposure and colors in your talking shots. Such a simple and chill studio setup but so interesting, and it was lit perfectly. The algorithm suggested you, as I never heard of you until today, but I am definitely subbed. Thanks for sharing Cam and great content.

[@UncleJessy]

Recently switched from canon dslrs for my youtube content to the zv -e1. Simply amazing for making youtube self shot talking head content / product reviews etc. blown away by the video quality. Only issue I’ve had is overheating when recording Timelapse or live streaming with it

[@rocus80m]

So did you shoot in 60fps while overheating or even lower? I need to be able to shoot a long time but at at least 25fps

@@timsolomon2840 about 40-60 mins for it to overheat when continuously using / streaming - including all of the ports open on it. Honestly, that’s the biggest downside to the camera. Amazing footage otherwise. I still love mine and shoot with it almost daily

I have the E1, love it. also your audio in this video is incredible lol

[@RussSweet]

What mic do you use??

[@ABAYT51]

I have both and enjoy using both equally. I totally get what you're saying, it triggers a different mentality when holding each one. Best part about it is being able to mix the footage between the two perfectly.

[@cammackey]

Now I’m torn if I should buy the FX3 or the A7CII. Think imma have to compare the two. Might as well make a video on it hahaha

[@AbelOrtaJr]

such a great informational video. love the review. been looking for something like this for months and this is by far my favorite review vid

[@GlobalShutterNY]

I love the FX30 as the easy-to-hide 'gem' - incredible image quality (until you hit ISO's above 6400...) - and, as a Super35 sensor, being able to use very small lenses as a huge plus for run-n-gun and inconspicuous shooting...

[@cammackey]

Yeah that’s one thing I love about super 35 is how dang small the lenses can get. But the Tamron 20-40mm is a hidden gem. Super small

[@AhmedEmad-ej1fx]

Bro you deserve way more appreciation.

[@onlinetraderucom]

Great color grading. Tell me, which of these cameras is easier and more convenient to work with in Davinci? And are there any real differences in post production in stops of dynamic range?

[@MurlykinYaroslav]

Hello, thank you for your videos. I would appreciate hearing your recommendation. I'm considering upgrading from my Sony a6400 to a full-frame camera, and I'm facing a dilemma: whether to spend more and get the FX3 or save money and go for the ZV-E1, getting pretty much the same image but with the remaining funds invested in more lenses, etc? I shoot a variety of content, from events to weddings, so my direction is quite diverse. I really want to upgrade and start to make more professional videos, but I’m kinda stuck between these two and don’t know what to choose.

[@cammackey]

If you want to aim for more pro work.. you’re going to need a fan for long takes, you’re gonna need a full HDMI for an external monitor, you’re gonna want internal LUT support. FX3 would be the way to go. If you don’t need any of that.. ZVE1 is a monster

[@bobansky]

Today I had a corporate shoot. Cam on gimbal FX3 cam B Sony zv-e1 with 24-70 sigma art. Amazing combo and they complement each other soooo good!

[@DurrantKellogg]

I have to point a fan at my ZV-E1 when im shooting over 45 minutes in 4k30-- ive had it shut down twice at that point if I don't. That's the #1 reason i love my reliable FX3. I returned the a7iv because of overheating and got the FX3 a year ago.

[@mykeljewell]

“If you’re into it??!?!” Literally the best clip for a gear review video ever.

[@cammackey]

Man I looked at my retention on my last review that had a short film and people drop right off 😂😭 it’s depressing haha. It’s hard balance mixing in the things I want to show and the things that will actually get traction haha

[@mykeljewell]

[@xxPhotoChicaxx]

I’ve been trying to decide whether to get the FX3 or the ZV-E1 for real estate and this video sold me. Thank you!! 🙏🙏

[@GhostWriter_Music]

great vid, still looking at features of both these cams, more for low budget film creation, and to replace my a7s ii which also had apparent overheating issues which I never experienced. Though I do live in a cooler country.

[@MR.MA-T]

Great little camera still ! Great footage at the pow wow! Always wanted to capture some footage during a gathering like that . Never happened. I was invited to a Sundance in South Dakota did not bring a camera because I felt it was not the place to film or make photos. Made lots of great friends and beautiful memories in my heart! Really enjoyed these slow mo shots very powerful Cheers

[@PatrickRambles]

This was very helpful. I'm in the process of switching from Canon to Sony and picked up two ZV-E1 for the studio. I've been eyeballing the FX3 but now I'm not so sure it's worth the extra spend. Edit: coming from an R5 + R6ii setup.

I think the ZV-E1 will be ideal for me because I will not be doing any long form commercial work, just short burst clips for cinematography and purposes! Can you shed some light on the FX30 and what you think about it compared to the ZV-E1 (which you think is better etc)?

[@joesworld933]

Great video!! I already have a Sony 7rv. I need another camera for doing things like real estate video and interviews. Do you recommend 2 Sony 7rvs or 1 Sony 7rv and a Sony fx3?

I never thought you will make a video on ZV E1. that shows that you care for smaller creators. :)

[@cammackey]

Im trying to do more for our community! So be expecting some more entry level friendly content!

[@darpinomedia9619]

This camera has definitely tempted me to sell my A7IV as my backup and get this as a B cam/content creation cam. But, it’s nice having the A7IV for the photo capabilities. 🤷‍♂️

[@kristianrave]

Thanks for the video! I am hoping for a full sensor readout update for the zv-e1 so you can have tru anamorphic picture. Lets see. I really loved the powwow clip - triggered something in me. Some day i gotta go see one - living far away tho - cheers from Berlin ;)

[@madupaul]

PART VII : The variable shutter option that is available on the ZV-E1 and not the FX3. As a concert video shooter, it's a shame I can't film slow-mo with the FX3 in small to medium venues because of light flickering/banding. There's just nothing you can do about it (even in post) unless you could fine tweak the shutter angle/speed.

[@aldolega]

Neat Video has some de-banding/de-flickering capabilities, might wanna look into that if you have some footage to save.

[@daniellove162]

Are you sure shooting 24p with 1/24th shutter speed won’t fix it? Yea I get you want 1/48th but it’s better than banding.

[@madupaul]

@@daniellove162 I wanna shoot in 60p.

[@daniellove162]

@@madupaul I figured that is what you wanted to do but optic flow slow motion has come a long way (in some editors) if you use it properly. Of course frame blending slow mo is bad.

I picked up a ZV-E1 with the 16-35 f/4 and it's been a dream to use for run & gun content creation. All my other cameras are from Canon...uh oh...

[@cammackey]

Hahaha how are you digging the image quality vs the canon?!

[@QuantzPhoto]

@@cammackey For KZbin they're obviously both fine but for me it's more about the form factor and convenience and the ZV is much more convenient for what I do than the C70. You throw in the dual native iso and you can use it anywhere/anytime(as you know). I had someone shoot BTS for me on one of my AD shoots(for the Navy at night in a river) and he was using the A7SIII. When he gave me that footage I was sold!

[@cammackey]

@@QuantzPhoto oh the C70 is amazing, one of the only canon cameras that I think swings back at the other camera companies, even in its weird form factor. The FX3 is even more versatile for me tho, it’s crazy. Still not sure if imma buy the ZVE1 or the A7CII tho..

[@QuantzPhoto]

@@cammackey too many choices! 🤣 I'm already packing at least two bodies and lenses for my shoots so the compact size of the ZV makes it a no brainer for BTS KZbin content. I guess I should probably make a video about it on my channel!

Great video, man!! I think the ZV-E1 is currently underrated and is going to be a big sleeper hit.

[@cammackey]

Super underrated. I think all the overheating hype Prbly killed some of its momentum. Literally every compact camera overheats these days tho haha. Even some bigger cameras overheat 😂

Also off topic, but have you ever tried the Zcam e2 F6? It's kind of old, but you can swap the mount to E-mount, and shoot ACTUAL full frame open gate anamorphic unlike with any of the Sony cameras.

For the overheating example, i have some clients where I sometimes spend a good few hours in a warm room shooting 60p green screen work. Had to choose an fx body (fx30) for the fan and dual card slots.

[@cammackey]

Great example, I think it’s fair to say that ms rare tho and if you’re shooting clients on green screen…. That calls for a pro series camera

[@runningintohistory]

Damn man, so good. I love my ZV-E1. This thing has been a "Swiss Army" camera for my content and has made my video production life much easier. I am an audio guy and have many mics and audio recorders but lately I have been using the internal mic for most of my productions. I created an EQ preset in Davinci and this thing sounds great. I did not add a frame so that I could keep it as minimalist as possible but I have been thinking about either that Tilta with fan or the small rig. Are you using the cage mainly for protection? I haven't had any overheating issues since I purchased the camera at the beginning of the summer and I ran it for 45 minutes for one interview, at 24fps, out in the summer sun.

I recently bought a ZV-E1. I own the A7R3, my baby, a6700, and was blown away by the E1. Like the a6700, that new chipset plus AI chip created a whole new level of video and still photography. Both the a6700 and ZV-E1 are magical. It's learning all the spells that takes time. When I use the ZV-E1, I wear high magnification reading glasses so I can see the screen better. At my age, I don't see well close up.

[@cammackey]

lol right?! Granted if I took my FX3 I would have rigged it out. Would need a mic on it too

[@kylehessling2679]

One thing about the A7CII thats dope is the dynamic range is supposedly quite a bit better than the Fx3 and A7s3 sensors. That's one reason I picked up the A74, just due to the 7k downsample, the DR is absurdly good, however, the rolling shutter can be tough to deal with in full frame mode at longer focal lengths. Would love to see you do a comparison between the DR of the A7CII and the FX3 because you're literally the only one on KZbin who actually tests dynamic range for real-world use!

[@willmannering]

It's around half a stop better (12.4 vs 12.9 SNR 2) Bear in mind this is only as a result of better noise performance because of the downsampling. You won't magically get more highlight information at the same exposure values. Like you alluded to already, the A7IV/A7CII is perfect for talking head/studio setups. But anything handheld (plus 4k 60/120) the FX3 sensor is the way to go.

[@kylehessling2679]

@@willmannering yeah agreed, you can do pretty well with a gimbal though too on the a74, or with a really heavy handheld rig lol
