Everyone Who Leaves Sony Eventually Realizes This

Are you thinking of switching from Sony to Canon or Nikon? Maybe Fuji for the colors? Panasonic for the stabilization and video tools? The grass is always greener on the other side. Watch this before thinking of switching your camera system.

[@taylorhickman84]

M only complaint with Sony color is the brown tones in my wildlife photography. My A1 is better than the A7iii, but it still leaves a little to be desired. I find Canon to be over saturated, and Nikon to be nicely neutral. My favorite is Hasselblad.

[@waldovanderwaal]

Interesting video! As a pro shooter, I chose my system when I started (in 1996). I've had no reason to change, and I've built up a mass of lenses and accessories over the years. It is called a 'system' for a reason. Even so, I do use the odd 'off-brand' camera, for specific purposes. Sony's slomo is fantastic, though the buffer and trigger is a mess. Fujifilm offers amazing options if you want a general point-and-shoot. But overall, I think the bottom line is this: It is not about the camera. As longs as you have good glass and a pro level sensor, you'll get by. Frankly, I've bought tons of gear from guys who decided to switch - suits me down to the ground :) Pick a system and stick with it, there's no reason to flip-flop, it'll just drain your cash. And when a different brand does something amazing that your brand doesn't do - just wait. They all do the same thing after a while...

A6000 was my first camera. It rarely, if ever missed focus in photos. In videos, I never thought about it. It seemed to know what i wanted at all times. I replaced that with the Fuji X T3, and while I love that camera, it's autofocus is FAR behind the a6000 in photos, and for video I only use manual mode (which in some ways has turned out to be a blessing).

I did the same. Got Sony and sold it because I thought it was better on the other side. Tried canon and ibis wobbles and dynamic range killed it. Tried Panasonic which was close however the autofocus couldn’t keep up and it was a little tank. Tried Fuji which offered an awesome handling,good menu system and autofocus. However crop sensor will never compare to full frame in low light and image detail. Ultimately you find yourself coming back. Got an A7Cii recently and truly love it. If the crop in 4k 60 it would be perfect .

Nikon goes a little heavy on the reds. For photos, I just reduce it in red channel by 10 percent. or -6. For video, you could reduce the reds a bit in color in software before editing. Simple fix. I think Nikon Full Frame is doing a great comeback with ZF, 6Zii and soon to be released Z6iii with vari angle LCD. You should also be able to save your color profile in camera using Neutral setting, slightly reduced contrast or reduced color. Then no issues. Latest firmware track subject better.

Agreed, I went from A7 III to S5 II X and the stabilisation is a game changer for anyone that's run and gun or casually documenting life (not shooting rigged up, on a set, with a gimbal etc) being able to just shoot instantly, anywhere - without having to think about it is amazing. It'd be impossible to go without it now I've tried it. Also really like how it seems more "hybrid" the way you can pick what settings are retained or unique between photo/video was something that never felt as clever on the A7 III. All the UI and controls just make more sense and button bindings are super fast to modify. Really impressed with it - the only thing I miss would be better AF like Sony which I'm sure is a focus for Panasonic going forward since it feels like they've nailed everything else and this was already a great leap in AF for them. There's something to be admired by how Panasonic just seem to not hold anything back and they just pack in as much value as possible.

[@fredriksvard2603]

@@Matt-fo4gg well it's not perfect (too much filtering unless you shoot vlog, especially in apsc mode which is basically useless, and rolling shutter). But it's so much more capable than the a7iii which is kinda antiquated now with 8bit and no 4k60. Not being able to get usable tripod type shots handheld with sony meant it had to go, i have had more footage ruined by that than by focusing issues.

[@thorgrimb2416]

Love the comments so much on videos like this. I had a Sony NEX 7 and a Fuji X-T1 as my main cameras. Was at the point I wanted just one main system with just one main set of lenses rather than in all practicality the same focal range lenses on two different systems. I went with Fuji in the end, and the main reason I would miss the Fuji a tiny bit more. Either did the job and surpassed my needs and ability with a new or newer body. We all need to look at the question and start to realise buy a good camera, and it will outperform you. Do we all strive to have our daily runaround as the latest F1 or Indycar ? A camera is like a car. it's there to do a job. Do we need the camera that focuses a 10th or 100th of a second quicker. It was not that long ago and within the lifetime of many a photographer we only had manual focus, it was not that long ago we had a 24 or 36 exposure and then had to put fresh film in and wait days or weeks ro see the images to dind out if they where good.

I sold my Canon gear last year (2x R5, 16-35, 24-105, 50, 70-200, 100-500) and bough a Sony 7RV with 24-70 GMII. About 80% of the images in the past I shot were in the range of 24-70. If more wide is required for landscape and architect images I can often work around by stitching images. The quality of the Sony lens and the high Mega Pixel allows to crop. Hence I can easily cover 90% of the shots which I did in the past. Yes I can not do all the pictures I did with my old equipment and the creamy images with the 50mm were outstanding. On the other side I take my new Sony much more often with me. The combo is so light and small. Some other advantages of the 7RV are the amazing autofocus and the higher dynamic range. I have been a bit disappointed with high ISO noise but thanks to the new Lightroom AI noise reduction it can be compensated. Also love the Sony App for GPS synchronization. But it took me a while to get used to the Sony menu. Also the feel of the camera in my hand is not so nice like holding a R5. I only shoot still by the way. Overall I do not regret making this step. Sony really impresses me.

Sony marketed a certain camera as a "dedicated vlogging camera", that was the ZV1. At the time I was looking for a good light travel camera capable of 4K video. ZV1 vlogging camera? I didn't want no stinkin' vlogging camera! Then I took a closer look and realized this was a classic case of misleading advertisement. The ZV1 is almost useless for vlogging as it doesn't do a wide enough angle: Hold it at arms length, point it at your face and all you see is your own nose hair. But it has Zeiss lenses with a fairly good optical zoom. Good firmware, as you already mentioned, typical for Sony. And a good microphone. Pair it with the lightest gimbal capable of carrying this camera and you'll get extremely nice footage from a very stow-able, tiny, light setup. If used right those things can punch way above their price tag.

[@gummoman]

A7S III + Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 is basically THE best single-camera solution on the market today. Period. I have the 35-150 and can't wait to get an A7S III because I don't need 60MP photos, I don't need cine functions, I don't need a workflow that takes forever to work through in Resolve, I don't need 30fps shooting, and I don't need a stupid amount of rigging capability. But what I DO need (and pretty much what every single other aspiring KZbinr needs) is the following: insanely good low-light performance and slow motion with really good autofocus in any scenario, 4K60 uncropped full frame, and the ability to record a clean feed externally. The A7S III does all of that, and does it really goddamn well. It's the 5D Mark IV of video.

If I'm going to be taking pictures or video and I KNOW I'm bringing my camera, I really don't care to carry too much weight. The biggest thing about the Tamron is that you really need to make sure you have what I call a "rifle" stance - no weak wrists, solid posture, and good core support. Because it's a big, heavy lens and I usually use it on my tiny APS-C body, it's actually quite unbalanced. But I get 225mm equivalent, so it's not AS much of an issue. LOL.

The best camera KZbinr on my feed. Critiquing photos is hysterical. I like almost every camera I have more than the A7SIII. Dealing with the noise using S-LOG or Prores RAW is painful.

[@winngh]

Everything u say about Canon is on point.

[@allencrider]

No raw. What's the matter with them?

[@GunslingerMediaCo]

All good points. I should just buy my A7RV and stop thinking about Z8s and R5s. I already have a ZV-E1, and some Sony glass. That ZF sensor is amazing, and I loved the R6ii when I had it, but the glass isn't as good and they have weird quirks. You're right, lizard people are cool (blooded).

[@intellatek]

The Freewell mist almost seems to have a slight ND filter/look to it, compared to the Ulanzi... But that's only noticeable if viewing the footage side by side with a microscope. That's right... A MICROSCOPE! I take my job seriously as a professional KZbin commenter!

[@ACDGibson]

The greener grass thing sometimes drives me nuts. I went from sony a6300 to a7 IV and wow! What a difference! At first I was so impressed but then I'm thinking...that blackmagic image, braw, would love to try it 😅 And sometimes I grab my a6300 and think to myslef this was soo good. I got so many great shots with it. It's small and compact - maybe I should buy a6700? 🤔 Then I have to snap out of it, take my a7iv and go shoot something!!😂 The tricks our mind play on us... 😅

[@Timperi.cinematic]

Man in follow you to soo much time.. And you are soo right. Maybe ive found the perfect camera for you... Lens depend but usually from 12 to 120 Internal prores Internal RAW Internal encoding RAW to prores ,hevc, h264,DNG and color correction and noise reduction. Easy to use Portable in youre pocket Perfect autofocus. What do u think?? U want to know this camera?

[@Timperi.cinematic]

Use youre android phone and use motioncam pro... Is that

[@muhammadrayhanfirdaus1309]

Nikon and Panasonic Lumix is the "right" choice for me if I ever consider (and had the money ofc) to move on mirrorless world, I'd love to got my hands on Z50 and GX9. Canon EF-M is a good candidate though, but it's a dead system, cheap manual lens is my only choice slap a M50 with some TTArtisan lens.

[@KaanSenel]

Can absolutely relate to this. Switched from the Sony A7S3 (because they didn't give us lens breathing comp which sucked) to the Lumix S5II. I recently switched to the Sony A7C2 again because of the massive support from companies in terms of accessories, lenses etc. The AF is also the best in the game. Won't switch from Sony again, lessons learned haha

[@miggyloz806]

I picked one up open box for $1998, still was able to register it aswell. It's been a great camera!

[@mattpna]

I did the same ahaha, I had the A7C, bought the S5IIx, 2 videos with it, instant regret, it destroyed some of my footages because of completely out of focus on some clips...(the most important ones) bought the A7CII instantly after

[@michaelbell75]

The S5II is a better camera than the A7C II and it was on sale for $1,500. Something you'll never see from Sony's overpriced cameras that still sell for full retail a decade after release lol.

[@mattpna]

@@michaelbell75 Totally agree, thats why I still have my s5iix, I know one day with some update the autofocus will be as good as sony, and during this time, the A7CII will be replaced by another model with some new functions which could be just replaced by some firmware update instead on releasing another what ever new model again.... ahah

[@Bill-NM]

One HUGE issue with the A7S3, is the COST. $3495. Throw in a lens and a person is looking at $4000-$4500. For that much money a person could get an R8, a Z30, a Pocket 3, a couple lenses for each camera, a microphone, some lighting, and STILL HAVE MONEY LEFT OVER vs the A7S3. So really, the A7S3 is absolutely NOT an apples-to-apples comparison. But - taking out the $3495 issue, are we then down to Sony vs Nikon (full frame)?

[@cameraconspiracies]

3 cameras that are all worse than the A7S III, and you spent the same money :) They are cheaper used, and the ZVE1 is basically the same for even cheaper.

[@Bill-NM]

Well, I'd argue, that besides 1080/240 and 4k/120, which of course for some people are VERY attractive features, :) a person would have more capability for more kinds of situations, for the same-ish money using something like the list of cameras/equipment I mentioned previously. No one is arguing that the A7S3 isn't a great/winning camera, but that's like saying that any given "expensive" camera is better than any given less expensive camera that costs a fraction of the price. Well, of course. Now for folks who can afford the A7S3 or ZVE1 (and a couple lenses), and are OK with having ONE camera to do it all for whatever that would cost, then OK, sure, the A7S3 wins. Basically, crowning a winner has to include budget as well as the needs of a given creator. But yes, for studio and slow motion squirrels and such, :) the A7S3 is beyond reproach. Vlogging? Not so much (weight). @@cameraconspiracies

[@MassMediaArtistry]

Bro your content doesn’t even matter to me I love your character it’s just interesting to watch you in action with that said get a Canon R3 and you’ll be hooked

[@cameraconspiracies]

Spend $7200 CAD to match my A7S III specs?

[@miker6090]

Lumix GH6ii with PDAF and battery grip, 200mm 2.8 Leica as kit lens at 50% off separate price.

[@bjornarya]

boasting their newly developed organic sensor

[@bjornarya]

the thing would sell instantly

[@evenhandedcommentor6102]

Yeah, OM System disappoints with their OM-1 ii, but it does have some improvements. The GND system and a bigger buffer. The autofocus on the Mk 1 wasn't great and that's been improved...apparently. I don't own either. I'm still using the EM1X.

[@peterebel7899]

Frozen grass conserves the green of the grass while you are switching 🙂

[@annekedebruyn7797]

Sony used to have an actual color cast issue on their introduction to mirrorless (which funnily enough was a magenta cast which had a gradient which was impossible to correct in post.) But that has been gone for the better part of a decade now. I honestly don't understand how it's still being thrown up everytime Sony gets mentioned. Add in a bit of yellow and you got your Canon 5D warm skintones.

[@ckellawan]

Thanks, you may have saved me from an unnecessary X100vi purchase. Time will tell.

[@kofiampaduthicklenskat9512]

I always enjoy your slowmos

[@cb2000a]

Canon usually runs a little red on the flesh tones. Sony seems to run a little greenish on flesh tones.

[@no_tread_]

I have had an 80D for 8 years with EFS 55-250mm and 18-55mm for my businesses needs, like product advertising. I recently got A7iv and some G lenses, 35mm, and 50mm. Business is slow and I wanted to invest in doing some media, recording, and photography. I like the way Cannon paints, but Sony seems to look more real to life. I thought about an 85mm prime lens for the Sony, but I would rather just take both Cameras. Both have a great look to me. I switched because Cannon can't just give it's customers access to use their Webcam app without a subscription. I am definitely not a fanboy of any brand so far.

[@soorajsaikumar]

I think black magic got a rig(saw in kick starter) that can flip screen or got a separate screen on the rig...now it's functional

[@gamebuster800]

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you saying I should buy an FX3 and a Nikon Z8?

[@OkwyUgonweze]

This is me, I already have the Z8, will sell my A7rv for the Fx3, I already have the 35-150 Tamron.

[@gamebuster800]

@@OkwyUgonweze do you have the 35-150 for Sony or Nikon, lol. I also have the 35-150, happy with it (with a7rv) I do wonder, why do you prefer your Z8 over A7RV

[@gordon3988]

Perhaps the G9ii? I think for most consumers Sony works very well and they still make some smaller cameras..think the a6700 might be one of the best choices or A7cii (passable IBIS). Hey, when are you going to test the Obsbot Air?

[@cb2000a]

I've got a G9 and am very happy with it. I use a Meike cinema lens with fantastic manual focus.

Which focal length / aperture is the Meike lens you use?

EDIT: Actually just remembered I shot with the F707 in 2001! I have been shooting Sony since 2005 with the R1. Then in 2010 I purchased the NEX-5, their first mirrorless camera. I used adapted Leica and Voigtlander glass until I bought the A7R II in 2015. Then I started using adapted Canon TSE lenses until I bought the A9. That's when I finally purchased Sony FE mount lenses to take advantage of the insane autofocus. The 24-70mm f4 "Zeiss" and the 70-200mm f4 OSS, which shattered when I dropped it on set earlier this year. Disappointing build quality for such a costly lens. Just four thin plastic tubes holding the lens mount onto the rest of the lens and they all snapped in half at impact. I can't bring myself to buy the old or new 70-200mm f4... All this time and I still haven't memorized the menus. Probably because I'm a dumb@$$ PHOTOGRAPHER ; )

[@iggytse]

What are your thoughts on the Nikon Z8 for video? If you look at the sales brochure you can see Nikon is pushing it as a video camera. Also records raw internally like a RED camera after Nikon won their court case. I’m not a video guy per se.

[@Giovanni-Giorgio]

I don't regret switching from sony a74 to panasonic s5ii. The fall in value on the sony was shocking. Bought the s5ii brand new for 1500,- in may '23. Paired it with a nice lens for less the price i bought the a74 for.

[@depotmsa2362]

curious question why do say verse , instead of saying versus as in us vs them , is it a regional saying ? i'm miami florida we say this lens versus that lens , but no verse that lenses at it doesn't sound complete , anyways just asking and curious thank you :)))

[@timbrowntown]

The year is 2035. Sony-Apple releases the Snapple Vision Pro using transparent A7SIII sensors (but still 15-year old sensors) within RayBan frames floating in liquid allowing for 10-stops of IBIS. No zoom yet and only 8K 240FPS. Still looking for the perfect camera.

[@M2008tw]

Now I want to say I'm not that impressed with Sony's interface, but maybe they've improved (I think it's ok with function buttons like on the FX6) interface and how easy it is to learn must go to Blackmagic, autofocus and size Sony, skin color Canon. I haven't used Lumix or Nikon so apologies not knowing anything about them. For heavy filming, RED or the most expensive with a wonderful dynamic range - Arria - but that's a completely different game. The grass is slightly different depending on when the grass is cut. There is now something appealing about Sony that you can't get past. Especially how easy it is to use as a one man army. At the moment, however, I shoot mostly on Canon and mostly for very short films where I also often have to shoot stills. But am tempted to sell it all and switch to...

[@ronnyspanneveld8110]

My camera feels DISRESPECTED... i own a Panasonic :P

[@TechnoBabble]

I don't particularly "like" any camera brand, but so far I've had the least issues with Sony. There's still plenty I hate about them, but I dislike them the least of other camera brands right now. The only contender is Blackmagic or "proper" cinema cameras if we're renting something for a more produced shoot.

[@stephenericwalsh]

Hello. I am a being from the future. We are still using the A7Siii in the year 3012. (Firmware update released last month)
