The Camera Had The Most Mentions As Best Overall Camera: geni.us/xC4Q or geni.us/AdoraSn (affiliate links)

[@jenavlogs11]

Hey Mark, after saving up a lot of money and working night shifts too, i finally bought an ZV-E1 with 11mm 1.8 for my vlogging channel. And i really appreciate your in depth videos which gave me the confidence to pick this camera up. I am however wondering your camera settings which results in such sharp video on KZbin. Do you mind sharing your video settings or your export settings which you use in your camera review videos 😊

[@geraldundone]

Never heard of him.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Keep plugging along. You’ll get there, kid!!

[@seansaca]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisWe must tread carefully. He's crazy.

[@petersuvara]

As a KZbinr with two channels, I'm thinking I need to be attending these shows... :)

[@Image1Nation]

That iPhonedo, so hot right now.

[@CristoforoBonissone]

Are you deaf ? 😲 🤣

[@tombuck]

I love everything about this. Especially the part I'm in.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

That part got a lot of thumbs down. Just that part. Weird.

[@tombuck]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis That was me. It's all part of the plan.

[@goldmankwezi]

@@tombuckBrilliant !! 🔥 Pun-delicious as always !! 🤩🤩

[@sixlitrehair]

KZbinrs: Gear doesn't matter, Also youtubers: 3x FX 3 with 50mm f1,2 for video, and Hasselblad for photo :D :D :D

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you’ll never hear me say hear doesn’t matter - that’s for sure 🤣

[@enjoygary]

it’s nice of you to give all these unknown KZbinrs some much-needed reputation and exposure

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

those poor kids needed a hand

[@CornerstoneWorshipTutorials]

Nice to see you got to talk with all these KZbinrs! My favorite is still Mark Bennett with his ZV-E10 and Sigma 16 1.4

[@larrylaffer4304]

Also my favourite!

[@iKeiV]

Isn't the stabilization bad for vlogging with a handheld camera? How is that solved?

[@iKeiV]

I bought the zve10 but the fact that it is not stabilized gives me headaches

[@cammackey]

This was super fun bud! Need to collab more next time!!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

100% - thanks for classing up my video!!

[@pinikpikantv3555]

The 6100 guy is the OG of them. Great choice definitely not a gear head but light bender.

[@LeeZavitz]

I made a video about why I use the a6100. It's not good enough for everything I do so it can literally just sit on a tripod in my set and never leave. In controlled lighting its perfect. good eye af, flip up screen, nice clean 4k.

[@DavidManningvlog]

This was awesome Mark! Thanks for including me brother!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Gotta include my handsome brother!! Getting my haircut now like yours. That’s not weird. It’s normal.

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

This was so fun! Thanks for the interview! :)

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks for agreeing to do it and putting up with my nonsense!!

I had to unfollow @AnthonyGugliotta as he’s not in the Sony club🤣👎🏻

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

@@brettyg76 :o

[@LeeZavitz]

Always cool to hear what everyone is using.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks - for doing it!! Everyone is talking about your a6100.

[@lepyti]

I got the a6700 with the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8. Using it for both video and photos. Sony autofocus is so amazing! And the a6700 is the best value for money hybrid camera out there right now.

[@DWGadgets]

Yup im using that too for running my Video

[@goldmankwezi]

Me too, exact same setup !!

[@JesusChristSaves.]

I got the Sony A7C II - with a Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 (G2) - and a Tamron 70-180 2.8 (G2) 👍🏼 Love it

[@FPVYeti]

Also, the lower thirds are on this video are top notch. It was so nice of you to let all these KZbinrs be in your video.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I figured they could use a boost

[@zfyhwcm]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Lol, definitely a boost. They're next video be "Why I'm quitting KZbin". The video was great. Love your sense of humour. Keep going!

[@TexpatOTG]

The last time I went to NAB video cameras had tubes. Was a great time back then. No digital stuff. My studio and field video camera was an Ikegami HL79 recorded to a Sony Betacam SP portable and my photo cameras -- a Hasselblad 500C/Nikon FTN --- I think I would like to go to NAB again, I'm a little behind I think. Cheers

[@CristoforoBonissone]

Awesome video Mark!!! I love to see all people I follow having fun toghether!!! More please!!!

[@alanjones4333]

excellent. loved watching.

[@michaelscott1778]

Mark this was good ! It revealed the truth about youtubers. A number of them on thier videos claim panasonic s5iix is the best camera. This video revealed about 90% sony, 8% canon, and 2% fuji. Next time we see a review of some of these guys we'll think twice.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I like the S5iix and it is overall probably the best value camera, but Sony has way more lenses and the cameras just work - so a lot of people end up relying on them

[@michaelscott1778]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis that's true !. not you, but others led us to believe by saying things like "this is it !" That it was THE END ALL camera. I own a canon xf605, sony a7riv, panasonic s5, panasonic s5iix and I just sold my canon xf 200 to mpb. Just selling a camera is such a pain ! Between communication, packing it up and sending it off. It taught me to go slow in purchases. When I sent the xf400 at fed ex they said " how many watts is in the battery" so I had to reopen the box there. And then they said it had to be attached to the camera - oh brother !

[@frankpaulschulte]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisAlso, the work flow does matter too. And if you are heavily invested in one ecosystem it sure is hard (and expensive) to switch. UNLESS you are as successful as Mark Bennett…

[@POVwithRC]

I haven't seen these claims. Titles mean nothing. Video transcripts mean everything

[@Democratiser]

Love your work Mark B!

[@mtmccornack]

I own 2 main cameras, and they were both represed here, and since you asked everyone... I shoot fx3 for studio, and rock an a7cii for my street photography. Usually the fx3 has 24-70 gm 1.0, or my 50mm prime for a7cii

[@thesahdstudio]

Great content Mark! Nice to see a little love for the ZV-E1 as we all know very high IQ people rock that camera. To keep this conversation going I also rock the ZV-E1 😎 and the Sony 24mm F1.4. Between my channels I'm around 18k subs so in case anyone is curious what us smaller creators use, that's my weapon of choice! Photos lol.

[@semiprotech]

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Hands down the best NAB 2024 video ever released. I signed up for NAB but couldn't make it. I missed out on all of my favorite KZbinrs, dammit! But, thanks to you, I lived vicariously through this video and now I can sleep soundly. Thank you.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

haha - thanks!!

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Wow I love how the third KZbinr is humble and passionate. They are all passionate because this becomes an obsession that many people do not have the knack for.

[@LostWithinOfficial]

Awesome! Have not watched it yet but I already know this is going to be great! Now I shall set this up on the treadmill and pretend I'm working out while watching this!

[@dag221]

Honestly it's quite staggering the amount of people who use Sony compared to Canon. I thought for a moment you weren't going to find a single Canon user there. Also huge props to the one guy who included his audio setup, that's something I want to hear about even more than cameras. Good work on the video.

[@danielornelas1365]

[@guitarwalljams]

Loved this video Mark! I’m stealing this format to a guitar show I’m going to. What settings/lens did you use for shot?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I used the zv-e1 with the 11 APSC lens, but I would actually recommend the Viltrox 16 or the new song 16-25. I didn’t love the vignettes I saw on the 11 in dynamic active stabilization

[@gilcarvalho]

Sony FX3 is killing it for studio work. A7Siii second. Same sensor killer sensor. Nothing has bettered it for video. ZVE1 maybe third (same sensor!) I love my ZVE1 (same sensor) but I’m a poor hobbit with no studio. My studio is nature. Or the pavement. I live in the U.K. where it’s always cold and raining- plus side is my ZVE1 never overheats!

[@PeterGregg]

Such great info thanks for "exposing" all these guys ha ha. The telling thing for me is the lens that is being used more than the camera. The lens size tells me what size room they are "studioing" from in their home base studio. Great stuff oh handsome one :) 👍👍👍👍

Mark- Nice interactions and to hear what other Tubers are using. Be curious to hear your thoughts and from readers here what they would pick for a do-it-all camera? I assume it would be a hybrid camera but which one? Canon R6ii, R5, Sony A74, Pany S5ii, Nikon etc?
