Hey man, is purchasing sony 6600 ?

[@mr.mctiktok]

I love my ZV-E1 it’s over heated a few times in the summer time when I was filming for a continuous 40m+ (then upped the heat shut off to high and haven’t had any issues since). I mean, anything that small and lightweight is going to overheat eventually, but it’s perfect for running and gunning and the videos are soooooooooooo good! I actually bought my camera after your review of it. Thanks, Jason!

[@JustinWu]

Same SV-E1 is amazing. Light and so good

[@TheJmoneyp]

The bullet points and notes were so helpful All breakd9wn was awesome Out of all videos I watch which is years worth this really got me to understand the difference

[@hamilig]

I wish this video existed a little earlier, very informative! This is exactly what I was looking for when I was doing research on what camera to buy weeks ago. I just got my a7cr last week and crossing my fingers on what you’re going to say about it. I love these kind of videos. Thanks!

[@DarrellYoung]

I rarely comment on a video, but this one was so thorough and interresting that I wanted to praise your efforts. Plus, you raved about my favorite Sony, the A7CR. Thank you for sharing such good information in a fun way.

[@davidpark9325]

I'm glad u pointed out how a 1.5x crop is simply stupid for a full frame. Defeats the purpose, and makes the FF feel a bit gimmicky rather than a core feature

[@minasladomenos1141]

It depends! In video its maybe better! Some times! If you buy an apsc camera with 24mpx vs a FF with 24mpx, you get wat better low light in the FF camera even in apsc mode! Because the apsc camera have 24mpx in the apsc sensor but the FF camera with apsc crop have 12mpx in the apsc crop. Better low light performance better rolling shutter. Still small lenses. You can use the FF camera for FF photography and in the same time is a very capable apsc video camera. Also FF cameras that have a crop (apsc) tend to have a lot better quality in the crop mode than the FF (video wise) due to oversampling. Its all about perspective!

[@traffbros]

Why is it stupid? Get a CR, slap a 18-50 with a sigma 56 1.4. Or slap that 75 from Viltrox, which is on par with expensive ff lenses. Daily and travel. 26mp, same as most aps-c Taking photos around home/studio? Get nice ff lenses. I'm debating this internally. And it hurts. Coming from an x-t5 user What exactly is stupid here?

[@kouleeofficial]

I’m still mad my Sony A7IV shoots crop on 4K 60fps

[@minasladomenos1141]

I agree with you! For video also the difference is even less ​@@traffbros

[@Giovanni-Giorgio]

Stupid? Better rolling shutter performance, more tele if needed, more lens support and even for anamorphic, higher framerates possible etc.

[@christianalvizuris93]

lol the sponsor clip was great, love the humor ! Awesome vid!

[@AVerkhovsky]

Your math is indeed wrong. If you crop 100 Mp 35mm to 70mm, you end up with 25 Mp only, not 50 Mp. 140mm would be 6.25 Mp and 280mm - 1.56 Mp. Hardly enough to make anybody happy.

[@DimmyV]

I have the 6700 and I love it. It may not be full frame but it literally does it all. Photo and that 4K120 is soooo good. I like its size so it’s easy to travel with. Highly recommend

[@dronephotogeek]

On the video side most cameras 2 to 3 times the money can’t compete with your camera and for photos it’s a beast if you stick a Sony 1.8 prime of any focal length. Personally I have the e11mm and a 50mm and a 70/350g and I am all good and I only have a 6600. Our video looks like like it was shot on an fx6 and people don’t care what you shot it on they care about the story you tell

[@DimmyV]

@ only thing I’d like is a gimbal just for more stability. Usually can get away with S&Q at 4K120.

[@jw112mail]

"literally does it all." Can it take full frame photos? Can it make popcorn? No? Then it "literally" cant do it all

[@flitetym]

Congratulations Jason, you’ve made the most informative and useful presentation of current Sony camera technology available to consumers. I’ll share this far and wide.

[@theSFCchannel]

i bought my sony a6700 as a hybrid as at the time i was'nt sure if i would do stills or video, now i'm finding that I do video more than anything else. So much i bought the RIGID PRO (Australia's version of the CIneback) mattbox from slalrig vmount batteries the works. Im loving the general use of the a6700 and its so easy to get great videos from it. Im now ready for a possible FX3 II especially when if the rumour is true that you can buy an addon viewfinder.

[@spektrograf]

The thing with the RX1 line is the premium build that's competitive to Leica build-which none of Sony's current models offer.

[@AWAShowme]

It's soothing to listen/watch camera content like this. Thanks for the content.

[@SoggyKatnip]

What id like to see most in an rVI is sony dealing with rolling shutter and how they go about down sampling or pixelbinning the footage.

[@stephensears7483]

Great comprehensive rundown- thank you! I sold my A7C and bought a Q2. Both are too big. I want the Rx1Riii bc it would a full frame fixed lenses, but closer in form-factor to my RX100vii than Sony’s C series.

[@dronephotogeek]

I watch even when I’m not needing the info because nobody creates content as good as you. Well done as always

[@karinjohnstone6690]

Omg. Confused…you will be. How you got through this I don’t know. Really appreciate your graphics. A real pleasure to watch. Thanks Jason

[@GemmaHentsch]

If they did an update for the ZV-E1 but instead made it an A7CS so you've got the mechanical shutter, and the viewfinder... that would be more tempting... although the cost of the ZV-E1 coming down does make me think.... I do most of my event photography with my A7S and having an A7C sized body with the latest updates, and the beautiful sensor would make me very happy.

[@GooseCee]

Very easy to understand video! Thank you dude this helped me a lot

[@iufu4991]

Just picked up an a7Rii for 400$ and a tamaron 28-75mm f2.8 for (450$) refurbished. Amazing duo and best camera setup for sub 1000$ that I could have gotten!

[@dronephotogeek]

Bro I am jealous what a score

[@DVinstapics]

As an rx100VA owner, the 24-200mm lens on the mark VII is just not enough with such closed apertures, the 1" sensor in low light struggles a lot even when I shoot at f1.8. If they can manage to give it a wider aperture while also maintaining a greater zoom, I will selly VA and get the new one asap

[@MarkHawk]

I had no idea the ZV-E1 was considered unpopular. Such a bummer. I just went all in with it for our trip to Japan in Dec (I got it for $1400!) and loved it. I wish it had de-squeezing in it, but other than that, it was perfect for me. Bummed to think it'll never get a newer version. I'll need to keep my eye on the FX3 successor.

[@sharkylal]

Because they dont have a viewfinder. And the image quality is not worth the price compared to E10 or 6400. At that price people get the 7 series

[@JustinWu]

@@sharkylal Video quality is a fx 3. Which is superior to e10 and 6400

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Jason! Thanks for making it.

[@wakeywarrior]

ZVE1 is awesome. Problem for Sony is that market is now being attacked (for non professional KZbinrs) by the Pocket 3, which is absolutely awesome, much cheaper, has good low light etc. I’ve got both, but I hardly use my ZVE1 now as I have a tiny gimbal balanced Pocket 3, I can take anywhere, and film with zero friction. There’s a lot more friction using a full frame camera and lenses, even a small ZVE1.

[@neilrocks25]

I can easily use the ZV-E1 for also at an hour with no overheating warning. I am not sure where this 20 min thing comes from. Unless you mean live streaming.

[@ResizeFilms]

Next generation FX6/FX3 really needs some sort of internal RAW video, all direct competitors have this major advantage nowadays for professional work (Canon, Blackmagic, Nikon, RED, you name it) It’s about time.

[@belexes777]

i got the 6700 and love it . added the sigma 18 - 50 . a match made in heaven .

[@VitaObscuraCaelum]

Keep shining, this was awesome!

[@unlockthepicture]

Based on the time between the launches of the a7ii - a7iii. And a7iii - a7iv. Both of them are around 3,5years. (first is 3 years, 5 months and 9 days. The other is 3 years 6 months and 11 days). So when you calculate that, the a7v should come around 21 march 2025 - 21 april 2025 range. So I think I'm gonna wait for that before buying a a7IV or the a7V itself, depends on the price.

[@shortfilipinoguy]

The FX3 does have a mechanical shutter! I use a 5” monitor when I’m shooting photos to compensate for the lack of the viewfinders and am always impressed with the quality of the 12mp photos.

[@RobKnight]

I have the APC-C crop mode in my a7rV set to the lens Fn button. It's super easy and not clunky at all

[@cameraprepper7938]

There should be a warning signal when the APSC mode is turned on, I often forget to turn it off !

I use this feature a lot on my a7rv for sports photography, gives the 70-200 that extra reach

Loved this! Would love to see one of these every year actually. In regards to the a7s iv, I’ve heard lots of people speculate they think it’s not gonna happen, but I disagree. I feel like there enough of us who want a viewfinder that they’ll want to satisfy that market. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking though. Personally I would already have upgraded to the a9 iii as that has everything I want in a camera, but I’m just waiting to see what they do with the a7s iv or fx ii just in case.

[@boycefitzgerald]

I would love to own a a7siii. Maybe I can wait for the price to come down or buy a used one when others upgrade to the newest models. I do love my Sony cameras and lenses.

[@joelconolly5574]

I'd say the a6700 is basically a flagship APSC atm considering it's an amalgamation of a7's and FX tech currently available. Don't particularly think we need an a6900 or a7000 for now. Here's a list of updates and cameras I like to see somewhere down the line though. 1. a6450 - updated a6400 with modern ports, better faster newer sensor and newer video features at sub 1k. IBIS for under 1k is unheard of but not impossible. 2. RX 100VIII - Hybrid 1 inch sensor pocket camera. Basically an even baby a6700 with modern videos and photos features while still keeping 24mm-200mm lens. Or if Sony is feeling experimental, M43? 😂 3. Consumer camcorders 1 inch. I want long zoom range and longer battery life with modern ports, features and newer colour science and AF tech. Can't really think of anything else other than lenses, maybe some fun video moment, turning Xperia into a camera focus device with triple big sensor lenses etc. But man can dream 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kingghidorah8106]

a6700 is far from being a flagship aps-c, truly one of the most limited cameras of the range.

[@Nine.siixxx]

It needs duel SD card slots and a AF joystick

[@GemmaHentsch]

I have actually been looking at the ZV1-F for being a third video body (I currently use a6400 as primary, rx100 7 as second view, and third/crowd view from gopro)....but made me think about fixed lens RX100... I think if they did a faster, stabilised fixed lens on the rx100 vii body (with viewfinder), I think it could be something that could compete with other street photography EDCs.... although it would have to be significantly cheaper than the GRIII to be competetative.... I am still thinking of getting an RX100 VA because having the shorter/brighter lens for some situations is appealing... as well as the built in ND filters.

[@jw48335]

David's sporting the "my workspace is a bit messy" telephoto portrait camera view here. I used that same option for this morning's zoom call 😂 Interesting results. With rotary I did't see a difference years ago when I tested. I would wonder about hot spots in the developer solution due to incomplete dilution. I use 1-shot development with a magnetic mixer which runs ~10 minutes. I've got a water distillery machine, which I expect eliminates some variables too. Maybe I'll test the next time I fire up the jobo, bust out the Patterson tank alongside it. I definitely see a difference in stand development using pre-soak, I had not seen a difference in the past with DDX or Xtol rotary.

[@Hyper88]

I really like this video, great to send to my friends looking to buy a camera

[@edfox6921]

Great video. Exactly the info I wanted.

[@homecactus]

15:59 but… that’s not how megapixels work It would go 100mp (35mm/1x) to 25mp (70mm/2x) to 6mp (140mm/4x) This is because megapixel is the multiplication of the vertical pixel count X the horizontal pixel count. EXAMPLE: 4000x3000 = 12 million pixels (12mp). 6000x4000 = 24 million pixels (24mp)

[@XiaoHo-p1q]

In terms of the future direction of the A7r series, it may be worth pursuing a light field camera design, using a different microlens array to record light direction, in addition to intensity and colour. This would allow complete control over depth of field and focus - with the right RAW conversion software, you could have the entire image in focus (even at long focal lengths), everything except the desired subject out of focus (while every part of the subject remains in focus, or with whatever falloff you want), multiple subjects in focus (e.g. for group shots) and everything in between. For the typical use case of the A7r series, this would be extremely handy - telephoto landscapes with everything in focus, macros with the entire subject in focus without having to focus stack, group portraits with everyone in focus and the like. To do this with good directional resolution requires around 9 or 10 photosites per pixel. You wouldn't do it with a 100MP sensor, for instance, since most people would want more than a 10MP final image, no matter how good the quality. But a 450-500MP sensor is not out of the question, and is significantly less dense than the sensors used in phone cameras, drones and other small-sensor cameras. This would not be out of the question for the A7r a few generations down the line. And a 50MP final image with infinitely-controllable focus options is much more useful to most people than a 500MP sensor that will outresolve any lens and produce huge, unwieldy TIFFs anyway. Noise performance wouldn't suffer, as you are using the same overall sensor area - it's just divided into more parts initially, before being consolidated into a final 50MP image. The main drawback would be frame rates, since all that sensor data still needs to be read and recorded. But this is the A7r series, not an action body. This is certainly not something for the next generation of A7r bodies. But, down the line, Sony and others will have to do something to distinguish the various lines, if they want to keep them going. Otherwise the A7r series will hit a ceiling of useful resolution (a 300MP image from a full frame sensor and lens is of no use to anyone) with nothing left to do but increase frame rate, while the A9 series will hit a ceiling of useful/practical frame rate, with nothing left to do but increase resolution, and both lines will start to converge on each other, meeting at the specs of some future generation of A1 body, with a good balance of speed and resolution, coupled with top-notch AF. Going down new directions, with features useful to typical users of that kind of camera and not easily replicated in a more general-purpose camera, is the only way to keep the distinct lines going in a meaningful way beyond that point, and provides useful goals for camera development beyond simply making them faster and higher resolution than anyone actually needs or wants.

RX10 V would be a cool thing. 24-800 f/2.8-4 or so with an APS-C, an upgrade of the 1“ sensor and 24-600 f/2.8-4 as the IV is equipped.

[@ddsdss256]

It's a crime that Sony discontinued the RX10 (see my post above) and the community should be screaming for a Mk V, but a 24-800 or APS-C (a pointless sensor size, IMO) would require a massive lens. I'd rather see a 20-500, preferably with constant f/2.4 to 2.8 aperture.

[@Kuzumby]

Always a difficult time to buy a camera, do you go for the new unproven latest tech or go with the well regarded and highly proven last version. I love my a7iv, it would take a massive upgrade (more than MP) to pry the mark 4 from my hands.

[@douglaspcoelho4432]

Jason, I currently use an A7c with a Sony 16-35 FZ F4 and do mostly vlog videos. I use Sony catalyst post production to stabilize. I would prefer using IBIS instead to minimize the post production. What Sony camera would you recommend that would help me that has the best IBIS?

I shoot Sony A6000, A6500 & A6600 for size and weight reasons but now also need blackout free shooting.

Man, that's a very, very expensive APS-C camera, so I'm waiting to see what the Canon R7II and next OMDS camera bring to the table. In the meantime, I'm using RX100VII for photography and RX100V for video, but.....

[@盾神京矢]

16:10 Crops doesn’t work that way. If you do a 2 times crop, you will end up with 1/4 of the pixels, because you are taking half the width and also half the height of the sensor. A 100 MP sensor is “only” good for up to 3X zoom at about 11 MP.

I pretty much use the 6600 and I also use Go Pros.. because I hate gimbals and heavy equipment. The stabilization on a Go Pro is outstanding. but would like that kind of stabilization in a better camera. I'm considering the Sony ZV-E1.... for the low light features and it has stabilization that seems to be similar to a Go pro...... I would have to buy a full frame lens too.

I am thinking of upgrading from my sony a7iii and was thinking of the a7CR but surprisingly, there aren’t too many videos about it. Do you think you could make a review after using it for so long?

[@Marvelsuperear]

is the a6500 with a lens kit 16mm - 35mm a good option

Try a6600

An A7000 would likely be $2799 with A9II/III relevant specs, especially given today's pricing structures allowing for egregiously inflated rebates. The market would never allow an APS-C product to hit $3K. Nikon's D500 set the standard the A6700 finally matched... But OMDS is slaying the feature mix for crop sensor sports/wildlife cameras. If anything, firmware updates to the A6700 would be best for everyone, including Sony. Also you're not factoring in the optical needs, even for primes (95% of whom can't even truly resolve 61mp), to hit 100mp. Diffraction would hit so fast, the subjects in the frame would get bruises. Make computational photography more of a refined capability and we can meet halfway.

[@Herbzilla55]

I believe I read there was an update to the a6700, moving to the a6700a, a couple changes including USB-C. The article says it was a silent release.

[@rbtectur]

Well, as a zve10 mark 1 owner, what's going on around the apsc vs the FF universe, is that the best way to enter FF world, WITH the best software now available, is the A7 C2. I was looking for a a6700, as the top tier offer from Sony, however there came out a chance to get the A7 C2 for a great price to ignore it. And I pulled the trigger. Let's see if the FF look is so much worth the discussion about it. Next week I will be able to answer that question. But the reason I am posting a comment just right now, is that I don't believe on a A7 C3 till 2028, just because the A7 V has to come out before, and only, just only WHEN Sony is thinking about the A7 VI, there will be an updated Compact version of it. That's my 2cts....

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

As an a7C II user who isn't too hung up on features like 4K@120p, I really don't see much room for improvement right now. Sure, there will be the usual little quality of life updates on the next model, maybe even a joystick, but if the a7C II/R isn't good enough for you, you're either a professional with very specific demands, or more likely you're a perpetually unhappy person who will always find something to nitpick.

[@gearsandgrit]

I got the a6700 as a secondary camera for recording podcasts and at 4k30 it overheated a few times and a runtime under an hour. I returned it and got the A7SIII and it's been much more reliable

[@XiaoHo-p1q]

I think Sony would do well to release a RX1R III with several different lens options. Perhaps even interchangeable at a service centre (after all, only the lens assembly would need to be changed), but not on the fly. These are primarily street photography cameras, whose main attraction over interchangeable-lens bodies is their small size and light weight relative to their optical performance. But not everyone wants a 35mm lens. If you prefer an 85mm, or 28mm, for instance, you wouldn't buy the RX1R II. It shouldn't be too difficult to design and produce several different lens assemblies (the 'front bit') that can be coupled with the same basic camera (the back part). 20/1.8, 28/1.4, 5/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.4 and 24-50/2 come to mind as good options. Perhaps even a dedicated macro option. Each would be much smaller than an equivalent lens for an interchangeable lens system, and possibly sharper as well, since no allowance would need to be made for the lens mount. A lot of street photographers would happily go around with two such bodies - perhaps 35mm and 85mm, or 28mm and 85mm. Wedding and event photographers, too, might prefer such a setup. Vloggers would love a 20mm option for a lightweight travel kit. And those who wouldn't currently consider a camera separate from their phone, due to the size and weight of the A1 and similar interchangeable-lens cameras, might just consider a camera like this (particularly with a zoom lens) as a compact and portable upgrade from their phone for travel snapshots. Having multiple lens options would greatly increase the potential audience for the camera, as well as likely enticing many users to buy two bodies with different focal lengths. Having only a 35mm f/2 option, no matter how good, would leave it as a niche body with a very limited audience.

If you duble the focal lenght you have to divide the resulution by 4.

[@denvera1g1]

9:00 What i almost want is the A6700's sensor, in a larger body with all of the added controls. I doubt it would be popular but i'd like it for better cooling, lower cost, theoretically better battery life, but maintaining that crop and cheap lens compatibility Dont get me wrong, i like my A6400, but that SEL200-600 just doesnt feel quite right on it, and my A7iii doesnt quite reach out and touch subjects with that lens in the same way as the a6400. I also like one lenses to rule them all like the tamron 18-400(canon and nikon only IIRC sonly only has the 18-300) a lens like that would be hard to manufacture for a full frame, if possible at all. Ok, your solution at 16:00 seems much more likely to succeed in the market, however, i like to let the ISO do whatever it can so that i can get the shot, rather than go home and not take the picture because there isnt enough light, and cropping weather pre or post capture, tends to make that low light noise more noticable, but again this is a niche that i know most people stay away from, for instance, i generally dont use a flash at wedding receptions, espeically on the dance floor instead i get subjects lit by chandeliers and DJ lights even if i use bounce flashes that are remote from the camera it just takes the life out the photo, the caustics coming from the the light contorting through the decorative glass/crystal gems and bulbs, the DJ lights dancing across their faces, that all ptryyu much goes away with even light flash.

[@theotherchad2286]

Im actually in dilema to pick either a sony 7riii or a canon eos r7. Both have their fair share of pros and cons. Maybe u can help me decide which one is the better pick?

[@cameraprepper7938]

Sony A7RIII is a full frame 24 megapixels Camera, the Canon EOS R7 is a APSC 33 megapixels Camera, you do not just buy a Camera, you buy into a system, the Sony system are much wider than Canon, I will recommend to get Sony, no matter which Camera model !

[@careylymanjones]

@cameraprepper7938 A7Riii is a 42MP sensor.

[@babajaiy8246]

@cameraprepper7938 I'd recommend Cannon....got a A6700...nice, well built camera....but overall from my experience....Canon does me better, which is why I'm returning to Canon next purchase.

It will probably be discontinued entirely once the A7V is out -- it's pretty old now, but you can get good really good prices on it new or used. Depends what you want to do with it.

[@brutalpony1331]

@@Thirsty_Fox Mainly if not only photography

[@careylymanjones]

Recently upgraded from the A7iii to the A7Rv. I've been absolutely delighted with it. If you're a Sony mostly-stills shooter and YOU DON'T MAKE YOUR LIVING SHOOTING SPORTS AND/OR WILDLIFE, the A7Rv is as good as it gets, period, full stop. 61MP, up to 10 FPS, AI Autofocus, two CF-A slots, excellent EVF, the every which way but loose rear screen. I might look at the A7v, as a video camera, when it comes out, but for stills, I'm good. I don't see Sony (or anyone else) offering anything that would get me to give up my A7Rv, for stills

[@Attya-y2y]

This is true, but in my opinion it kinda sucks that the A7R5 is bad at sports or wildlife, or anything moving fast for that matter. It's supposed to be the photography line of Sony, so in my opinion it should excel in all types of photography, while keeping low specs for video (for which we have the A7S and FX lines) If the A7R VI can get more speed (20+ FPS) and pre-capture that'll be a sick stills camera.

[@careylymanjones]

@@Attya-y2y Moderating the speed allowed Sony to reduce the price of the A7Rv to a MUCH more affordable price point. Matching the Alpha 1's speed would have required a much faster (and more expensive) stacked sensor. And users would have had to buy more expensive Sony glass to get the full speed, further increasing the cost of the camera kit. A7Rv is currently $3,000 less than the Alpha 1ii. You can get nearly any lens in Sony's catalog for $3,000, or alternatively, you can get several third-party lenses for the price difference. A7Rv is currently Sony's price/performance sweet spot, for anyone but pro sports and wildlife photographers.

[@Attya-y2y]

​@ Oh yeah for sure, agreed. If you factor in the price, the A7RV is an amazing value, and does an amazing job, especially if you don't care about sports and wildlife. The thing is, I've seen people in this comment section argue that the A7RV is the best Sony camera for stills OVERALL (like they don't even factor in the price, just straight up the best). I feel like these people are in denial either because they own the A7RV, or they just don't shoot anything moving fast, or they don't know about the specs of the A1ii. Agreed, matching the speed of the A1 (30 fps) is probably not doable at this price point, but I'd love it if the A7R line gets something like 15 or 20, and pre-capture. That still wouldn't compete with the A1 because it's still slower, and the A1 has top tier video features which makes it a top tier hybrid, while the A7R line should keep bad video features and be specialized fully for stills, imo. Because when you think about it, yes it it 3000$ cheaper than the A1, but 4000$ is still a huge investment, so it is unfortunate that it can't be top tier for at least one aspect (stills). I have a feeling that if they don't improve that for the A7R line, something like the coming up A7V might overcast a big shadow on in, depending on what features it gets for stills. At some point you can't be solely carried by the 61mp resolution, especially with all the AI upscaling softwares coming up and improving fast.
