This is a great video man! Super helpful!

Glad it was a help!!

This was a very well thought out set up. It’s pricey, all at once, but I definitely agree with having an upgrade path to get there. Great video, Josh!

[@JoshBirman]

Thank you so much!!

Fun to hear a Canon guy Talk Sony. I agree with 90% of what you said. The Freewell ND’s are really good and usually run about $100. The Polar pro is worth it for your A cam. Also I only really use a V60 on my A cam. Most people could get away with much cheaper cards. As long as you don’t want S&Q Timelapse’s or 4k 120 you can get away with a V30. I use slow (170mbps) cards on my C&D because I only shoot 4k 24 on those. Samyang 35-150 and Tamron 70-180 are good recommendations. Those would be mine. I also bought two of those crappy Sony 55-210’s early in my career. I still have a a film on my website where I used those.

Thanks man!! Good to know about those V30 SD cards!

Really great video man ! Only missing audio in my opinion (Lightning can be managed with natural light at the beginning). I'm a Canon Shooter and I think I would do the same as you described if I had to start over :)

[@JoshBirman]

All audio and lighting equipment was purposefully left out of this video. So it’s just the camera package here.

[@alfredoZ88]

Don't forget a couple of lights, a couple of lightstands, a couple of lav recorders, and a portable recorder to plug into the DJs console. Man this job is expensive!!

[@JoshBirman]

No kidding it’s expensive 😂 This video was just covering the camera equipment, so audio, lighting, etc. would all need to be added.

[@paulgero]

Really solid recommendations Josh. Keep up the good work....and maybe we'll get you over to the Sony side yet ;-)!

[@JoshBirman]

I’m not opposed to switching! It’s just so dang expensive to do it 😂

[@pureheartvisuals]

Soon as you said, Sony promises updates… you lost me 😂 I was at this same crossroad.

How do you speak on, and make a video on something you have no experience with? Why are you doing a video on a brand you don't even shoot? Is this just for the sake of making a film? Im genuinely curious? Why wouldn't this be about canon, seeing you're a canon shooter? P.s.. Where is there an FX3 3600? Are you not from Vancouver? You didn't even mention the A7s3... Other than the one time, and you gave it ZERO respect... That in itself says you know NADDA about Sony.. My guy, you really dont know Sony period.. Those cine options are really not much different at all form FX3 to a7s3... I personally as a Sony shooter feel you need to make the change to Sony and spend a couple years on their systems or just stay in your lane.. Much respect to your channel and your content, but this is embarrassing.

[@Matticulous-Media]

I liked your video regardless! LOL

So much anger towards someone’s personal opinion. Not to mention the CLEAR disclaimer he made at the beginning. Maybe calm down a bit “my guy”
