SELLING my Sony FX3 for THIS camera...

[@mike_s_media]

I shoot on the a7SIII and a1 and there's just no new features that are on any of the current cameras that would pull me off of either. That being said, the ONE thing I resonate with is I don't like to take my cameras out to certain locations but that's just a society thing these days. You've gotta be aware of where you shoot and your surroundings!

[@flexflex5853]

You get the 2 best cameras for the videos on the market before the cine camera, so its normal you don’t want to change lol ^^

[@CaseyHerzog-1]

I thought the same, I got the zv-e1 as a backup thinking id almost never use it. Now it's my main. Until you enjoy the basically perfect autofocus that snaps onto any subject immediately, you probably wouldn't understand

[@TerryWarfield]

Talk to me about the dual card slots!!! If I’m shooting a wedding highlight - I want to know I can have a backup! What cards do you recommend then? I’ve never had a card fail me before (I am a photographer not videographer) … but I’d be terrified rocking the 1 slot

[@KyleWattsTV]

Paul and I shot 3 days straight in 98 degree (115 heat index) in Orlando with the ZV-E1 in 24fps and a bunch in 120fps and not once did it overheat. Both of us definitely overheated and had to run into AC but the camera stayed strong

🎉Happy Birthday Terry🎉! The FX3 is a badass camera but my A7iv does everything I could possibly ask for. But I agree with you 💯. Why keep an expensive camera around and risk damage to it in the long run if a cheaper cam that does everything you need is available. It totally makes sense to me.

[@OSIRISIMAGING]

My Only Gripe having just sold my A7iv was the cropped 4k/60. . . When the A7siii/Fx3 and ZVE-1 do Un-cropped/4k/60/120 etc. Big Deal Breaker/Maker for me (Weddings)

[@JoeVazquezProductorMusical]

Hey buddy, I am a Sony user for several years and currently I have FX3, FX6 and A7R3 for photography, but...what I am going to say is with great respect to you and colleagues, I understand each one works the way you like, the ZVE1 is a very good camera but for some reason in CINEMA EI the difference in dynamic range is much higher vs SLOG3. The image is very clean in the highlights and exposure is almost RAW. It is confirmed that SLOG3 has some problems in magenta and reds colors but instead when you film in CINEMA EI that doesn't happen. You would never see hollywood people using sony cameras using slog3, is for a reason right? If you feel comfortable working with SLOG3 because of your workflow go ahead, but in my case I don't trade CINEMA EI for anything in the world, and if you use an Atomos Recorder direct on SDI 12 bit cable, you'll realize that what I'm talking is true. Anyway I always tell my colleagues that it's not the arrow, it's the Indian behind the camera. cheers.

[@thepreluder8273]

interesting comment, i got my a Sony fx3 but Can you advise me a cheaper camera to use as Back up ? Thank you

[@JoeVazquezProductorMusical]

@thepreluder8273 Hi buddy, a great but cheap backup camera does not exist, but thinking about your budget, would it be $1,500? I recommend a Sony A7III with an Atomos Recorder, because the camera records 12 bit RAW via micro HDMI, now, if you have a budget around $2,500 the Sony A7IV is a great option because it comes with regular HDMI and records at 14 bit RAW with an Atomos you could record directly to an external SSD drive that you could buy 1 with a 4TB capacity, So in Apple ProRes the image quality is awesome. I hope my information is very helpful to you. Greetings.

Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean exactly ? Can’t you shoot slog3 with cine EI activated ? In that case would I still have magenta tint shifts ? I sold my fx30 a year ago, switched to a BMCC6k full frame and now want to go back to something like an fx3 (or a nice camera with a focus on videos) cause I can’t operate the black magic on my own.

[@JoeVazquezProductorMusical]

@@giuliomalloni3975 Hi buddy Cine EI is the same slog 3 but more flat. I have BMCC6k Pro and is a great camera too, if you don’t have work in manual focus you have to buy a lidar system like DJI and you can get auto focus with the Blackmagic camera. Hope I could answered your concerns.

[@outdoorhabits]

Hey Terry I watched the whole video. You got me thinking about getting a zv for my second cam. I had my fx3 since the day it was born. My fx3 proven to me that it can endure all my KZbin videos for fishing and hunting adventures. It is a power horse and survived through hot, cold, rainy weather, mud, dust, and bugs attack. It is a true heavy duty TANK for my purposes. Thanks for sharing your perspective. God bless and have a good day :)

[@videographerindubai]

At this point in my career as a full-time videographer, I don't think gear really matters in 2023, especially if you are making videos for instagram or tiktok. My colleague recently worked on a Ferrari global commercial, using an FX30. And the footages are sharp af. In 2023 any camera can do the work

[@Studiotek]

Doesn't the ZV-E1 overheat like crazy tho?

[@TerryWarfield]

Very rarely for me

[@JosueDeLucas]

I've been saying this since the zve1 was rumored to come out. I shot in the desert, and full blown music videos with my zve1. No extra sd card slot, still kept my footage safe, no internal fans, not once did it overheat, it's my main camera now and my a7iv is my B cam

[@FBombBaggers]

I sold my FX3 2 weeks before the ZV-E1 was released knowing that the FX3 market would get saturated and go down in pricing. I love the ZV-E1. I don’t need the dual card slot or mic grip. Plus the size of the ZV sold me.

[@Vincentecreativeservices]

I did exactly that, and I'm so happy. I just got the 20-70mm and I love it more than my 24-70 GMii. Bro if you need to record for a long time, get the Ulanzi fan. It's $40, and the updated version 2 sticks in way better and let's it play outdoors till the battery dies. I literally shot a wedding with it, filmed the whole ceremony with it for an hour straight, the Ulanzi fan works.

[@BognerProducciones]

I does a change similar... sold my a7s3 and bought a ZVE1. The Reasons?: Better AF, Luts on display, Breathing compensation, Variable Shutter, cheaper, small and lighter (omg, my back appreciated), touch screen, same quality, and for me no overheat at all (i no shot on 120p for long time, and in 24p running out my SD card and was perfect). What i miss from my a7s3?: better display quality (the ave1 has the same display than the a74) and some physical dials (specialy the m1-2-3, on the zve1 are on the display) and that´s it.

[@TouchToneDSG]

I have a prime nikon 35mm so for manual zoom work I might as well get more nikon lenses, just need an 18mm plus my 35mm and the kits, but I havent used anything else - for mft I agree with you big time but I also spent the most on the z1ev than anything else I own, being that is an extension of DJI and Lumix items most mainly because its dark at 4pm here, most recent release, and most reliable AF

Man, this is a great idea. I just started looking at maybe getting into full frame. I've been using 3 a6600's for 3 years now thinking I'd get the a7siii one day. I recently started eyeballing the fx3 but bought the FX30 instead just to get use to color grading and the workflow with those better codecs. And I figured the fx30 would be the perfect match to the fx3. Now you have me considering the zve1... I do love the fan and dual card slots but the fx30 has those. And I've never needed dual cards slots, but always thought it would be great to have. The fan though, I've had over heating problems quite a few times. But, usually it's just with one camera even when I'm doing multi-camera shooting. This is a tough call... it sounds like the zve1 has some nice new features though.

It's just missing the viewfinder which I already got used to with my FX3. Also, it's lighter, full frame, half the cost, and you mentioned the exact reason I bought it to be my out-and-about KZbin camera/B-CAM -- it doesn't ✨look✨ expensive. I went to Mexico City with it and I looked like a tourist. I grab the ZV-E1 more than my FX3 now when leaving my home. Also, saw you through your collab with Brittney 😎, subscribed!

Kept watching: My ZVE1 overheated for the first time while I was filming 4k-30fps continuously for a tutorial (I teach editing online) but again ZVE1 is B-CAM for this stuff so I'm not pressed FX3 kept chugging plus it finally overheated like 4 hours into filming 🫨

What Mic are you using in the video bro?

[@DonAmos_stories]

So for close up shots for youtube you need not have an optical lens?

[@neogod29]

My question is, why not just wait for the A7Cii?

What is the handheld mic you are using in this video?

You'll be back for the Fx3m2 Also sold my a7s3 for a ZV-e1 and I'm loving the smaller footprint so far.
