[@AesirViking]

Great video :) I'm currently using BMPCC 6K as a main camera and I also wonder if there's any point in ever upgrading it to a RED or full-blown URSA. It pretty much does everything I need for a quarter of the RED Komodo price, the only thing it may lack from time to time is a global shutter sensor, but still you rarely pan the camera fast enough to make it a serious problem. And when I think of all the hassle and extra money it would take to additionally rig a Komodo (let alone a bigger RED with a camera body costing a few times more than my entire current film gear combined) I wonder if it's ever really worth it. One good thing a full-blown film camera has (even a BMPCC 4K) is the video oriented workflow, as opposed to the video functions crammed within a photo camera. That itself was instantly refreshing after years of shooting with a DSLR, the intuitiveness of operation is incomparably better :D

[@rbalds]

Big THANKS, I'm so grateful for this breakdown of Camera functions.

[@MrPaulXavier]

[@FatihErkin]

Thanks for the great content and honest suggestions on cameras to buy. I fully agree your prioritisations, e.g.: 4K 60 fps is enough for most. I guess you would not prefer going deep with other models, but - having a Sony A7m3 and a couple of full sensor objectives already - I will be grateful if you share your comments on Sony A7C2 and ZV-E1.

[@game2572]

The Panasonic S5ii can do it all for video. 6K open gate waveforms full size HDMI no recording limit. More video assist tool than any other company. Constantly on sale. No recording limit I have one but I also have a EOS R and Z6ii so I am not a fanboy of any company. But Panasonic is video

[@MrPaulXavier]

Panasonic definitely would have been a worthy inclusion. I've shot on that a few times and always loved it. Hard to draw the line in these types of videos!

[@kevinharding9361]

Hmmm. As a dual Sony and M43 user I'm surprised that the later didn't get a mention (and please don't mention noise as often the insanely good IBIS means lower ISOs and possible shutter speeds but with modern NR software even if there is a little noise it's easy to remove). For video-centric shooters the new Pana G9ii (and there are other excelelnt Olympus and Panasonic-Leica camera for smaller budgets) is superb and although around $1,800 at the moment I'm sure used can be found around $1,500 squeezing into that budget limit. Add on that M43 are small, lightweight and cheaper than full frame lenses, whilst being of equal quality, and that's a compelling package. I'd also add for those unaware, that f1.2 or f1.4 M43 lenses (generally way cheaper, smaller and lighter than their FF cousins) still collect that amount of light on an M43 camera, though the perceived DoF doubles. The DoF doubling can in itself can be a pro though for some shooters (more DoF at wider apertures) not a con (if you want bokeh, bokeh, bokeh). Clients want to see the background at shoots such as weddings, travel, cityscapes etc. and the M43 lenses will give you that whilst retaining the light gathering of fast lenses.

i bought the expensive r6ii before the cheaper r8 was launched. if they existed same time i wouldve bought r8. its basically the same camera, they just removed the fancy features i dont care about. the r8 is really a great deal. your list is solid. no complaints. i would personally pick the r50 over the zve10 due to viewfinder and better display. but still great choice. i feel the video shouldve been longer or make a second one. i expected you categorize the videos into travel, landscape, talking videos, vlog, action videos etc.

I think the Panasonic S5 IIX is a good in between option when going from a $1,500 camera like the Canon R8 to the $3,500 Sony A7siii. It’s priced right at $2k, is full frame, great AF, etc. Awesome video, you got a sub from me.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Great point! If I had to include one more camera I agree with you. That camera is a beast for the price.

[@ElMundoDuro]

If you look around you can find the S5II for less. I got one new for $1,300. But the Panasonic G9 II is also an amazing camera that can do 4k 120 and has gimbal like IBIS. It also records 8k video with a 1.33x squeeze anamorphic lens. Not to mention I like the 4:3 aspect ratio open gate recording because I can easily take a video and crop for social media.

[@buzzup_comm]

Love your vidoes, so much value I've got a question, What's the difference between sony a7iii & sony a7s iii do you think i should get a7iii since it is cheap or wait a bit longer and get the a7s iiii? I mostly film for marketing, mostly ig reels: beauty salons, resturants, products & all, i do wanna get that cinematic effect and produce higher end reels since I am planning on charging 2k + for smm, I do on my phone now and currently looking to upgrade it as well I was also wondering if any of your current courses cover the newer style videos, what I am refering too is the vintageish style vogue and many others started using, to explain it best i would say filmed under flash D

[@MrPaulXavier]

A7siii is more expensive and more focused on video. It has a lower megapixel sensor which hurts the resolution of the photos it takes but enhances the quality of the videos it can take. If your focus is on video I would get the a7siii

[@MrPaulXavier]

And yeah we update the course every month!

[@ailing9119]

Thank you for this vid. I learnt a lot. Please can you tell me if the canon r5c is good with photography. Are there any good hybrid that can take good video and pictures.

[@caseybachmeyer]

[@MrPaulXavier]

[@ChrisDamgar]

Great video. One question though, if I prefer a smaller and lighter mirrorless camera, but I don't have the budget for a a7s III, would it be a good idea to get a used a7s I or II, instead of a Canon R8? Or maybe the Canon RP? Thanks.

[@MrPaulXavier]

I would get a used a7iv before going a7si or ii - they made some upgrades to the a7siii that make it incredible otherwise the other cameras I mentioned are better

[@Abeylius]

[@isaiahpeter-nelson3140]

[@MrPaulXavier]

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Main competitor to Canon R8 is the Nikon Z5 which Z5 has new firmware updates with much improved focus tracking (which really sticks to subjects) and Z5 has IBIS in body stabilization, which R8 does not. Z5 has full size batteries, R8 has smaller batteries. Z5 has Flat Picture profile high dynamic range video which can be color graded and usable compared to Canon's C-Log. Z5 has tilt screen instead of vari angle screen but you could just add a small 5 inch monitor on top when you need to self vlog. In the end, R8 and Z5 are both good cameras in FF for good quality video. For the Nikon Z5, it is ideal to get a prime for low light or the small kit, but also get the Z 24-200mm VR lens which is made for video as it is stabilized and smooth zooming. (or get Z24-70mm F4 or Z28-75mm F2.8) In the end are you a Canon shooter, Sony or Nikon shooter. All good.

[@ElMundoDuro]

I recently picked up a new Panasonic S5 II for $1,300. Compared to my Canon and Sony cameras, I like the S5 II much better. It has higher resolution than the A7S III so I can use it for photography. I bought the S5 II over the A7IV because the low light performance is so much better. Some have compared its low light performance to the A7S III and although it won't beat it, it holds its own all the way to the end. I also prefer the colors much more than the yellow green Sony default.

[@omadlom]

Really useful video, thank you so much!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad it was helpful!

[@photosbyjames_]

Awesome video! For those looking for a7siii I recommend getting second hand especially when a lot of people are moving from a7siii to fx3 due to the new firmware. I was using a7iv for years but just bought 2 a7siii for $2600 each $aud second hand with under 500 shutter count.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ChasinTailsPod]

I watched the video great job! Very cool to learn more of the tech terms to! I am at a crossroads though to figure out which camera to buy. We race hydroplanes so our footage is from shore to the race course usually need a decent zoom. Pair that with wanting to get close up pit shots. I had a friend recommend a camcorder a Sony AX53 but I don’t ever see camcorders on these reviews? So looking for a recommendation for action shots and a decent zoom. Under $2,000 would be great

[@KyleTippins]

Great video and recommendations. I would suggest the Sony ZV-E1 as a good budget middle ground between the R8 and the A7Siii. It’s pretty much the A7Siii but with advanced AI chip of the A7RV. I’m with you though, the A7Siii is an incredible camera.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Love it!

[@santiagovillegas2932]

A7Siii is 4 years old I agree with you ZVE1 is definitely a better choice

[@richardwinkler3238]

I agree, it is such a solid camera at an such a good price for with it sharing the same sensor as the fx3 and a7siii with nifty ai features. It does have a couple draw backs that may be deal breakers for some. The single UHS-II SD card slot may deter those who worry about redundancy and the not wanting to risk the SD card failing on them. Also I am sure the ai features help out a lot, but I worry little about the compression rate killing a bit of the quality seeing that it can do 4:2:2 and if you like slowmo I think they had a firmware update a little while back or still planned to support 4k 120 especially running both I think I would prefer a cf-express card, but take this comment is based in slight ignorance since I don't own the zv-e1 and only mainly going off the specs from when it launched. I know it had an overheating issue when it came out, but I have seen some inexpensive 3rd party fans that pretty much fixed that issue. Overall it is still an insane amount of camera for sub 2500 new and it is designed for a specific audience and outside of the couple "maybe deal breakers" will fit any aspiring creators and will give an amazing image even for new creators. Great video here for new people looking to break into camera work. I think two honorable mentions just because how cheap you can get them used and great for hybrid shooters are the Nikon z6ii and the original Lumix s5 auto focus is just okay compared to Canon or Sony on those cameras, but pack some great video features like 4k 60(cropped though) and can shoot raw video with an external recorded. Defiantly a huge step up for Nikon who I would of never even looked at for video in the past. Sorry this comment ended up being longer than expected. Hopefully helps someone even just a little with making a camera choice.

Great video!! Learned a ton!! I've been using my iPhone 14 pro, but want to upgrade to a camera. I need that front screen to record to be able to see myself. I'm recording with the front camera of the iPhone, so loosing out on the actual cameras in the back. And budget wise, 600 for tripods, external mics and lights, is kinda my roof right now. Would a GoPro12 Black creators edition work for studio youtube and some onsite recordings?

[@MrPaulXavier]

I would avoid a GoPro for anything indoors or talking head content unfortunately

[@AndrewReitze]

@@MrPaulXavier thank you!! What about a Canon R50? I might be able to stretch it. Unless you say that I should continue with my iPhone and just build a better setup. With a selfie monitor and external mic.

[@MrPaulXavier]

The canon r50 and the sony zv e10 are my recommended entry cameras!

[@AesirViking]

Got one more thought about the sensor sizes: I used to be highly fixated on full frame sensors when upgrading DSLR from an APS-C Nikon D7100 to a more professional D750 years ago. At some point, I realized all the major film cameras have an APS-C standard anyway (Super 35mm is much closer to this than to a still camera Full-Frame) and now I pretty much only shoot videos on S35/APS-C combo, with my B-cams being Nikon Z30 APS-C cameras :D this way I got an advantage of similar crop factors no matter which camera I use a lens with. I now only really care about a full-frame sensor if I have to crank up the fish-eye effect of my 14mm lens.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Fair perspective! I think for controlled shoots APS-C is totally fine but for run and gun people who might not always have the control over lighting and other factors... full frame will make their lives much easier.

[@TheLinesEnd]

You shoot video…on a Nikon…? Manual focus only?

[@AesirViking]

@@TheLinesEnd why not, it's doable as long as you have a good follow focus device and adequate focus view (peaking, etc). And working with Samyang VDSLR lenses or similar, you have to use manual focus anyway, no matter what camera you put them on ;)

[@TheLinesEnd]

@@AesirViking oh no I’m not hating. I was just referencing the terrible autofocus in video on Nikon Cameras

[@AesirViking]

@@TheLinesEnd Yeah, that's true that it sucks :D In my case the reason to keep with Nikon is mostly the Nikon F lens set I have, as I bought the first Nikon DSLR (D750) before video autofocus in photo cameras really started to be a thing :D

Hi, just discovered this video. What camera would you suggest for someone who's upgrading from a 5D Mark IV and thinking about moving to mirrorless? I most shoot rock/metal band concerts and occasionally portraits. But nowadays I'm often finding myself having to do video works for musicians too and not getting satisfactory results in post since my camera doesn't have log (Cinestyle is not doing it for me). So yeah, I'm looking for something that can shoot fast action in low light and also can give me good log footage. Can you point me in the right direction?

[@MrPaulXavier]

I switched from canon to Sony and have been happy about it. The Sony a7siii of the canon r8 would both be great options.

[@Smart-Alex]

Wow what a great video! I’m going to buy my daughter the ZV-e10 as a gift as she’s starting in film as a student. Would you recommend the sigma 18-50 2.8 lens to accompany it even though it’s not stabilized? Thank you!

Excellent video,To the point,I am using Canon R8,What’s the best recommended lens for videos

[@TheLinesEnd]

I agree with 99.9 percent of this video other than not mentioning the A7IV and I only say that because as content creators you’ll inevitably want a decent photo camera as well as video and the A7IV is the perfect hybrid for that. It’s downsampled 4K from a 7K sensor renders some of the sharpest 4K footage you will find.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Great points for sure

[@santiagovillegas2932]

A7IV over heats in 4k60 and also crops. Not really specialized on video

[@SooksVI]

Honestly, a Nikon Z8 or Z9 would be a better hybrid camera. You get high res 45mp images from a high speed stacked BSI sensor as well as 4K 120fps and 8K 60 video, both of which can be recorded in 12bit RAW internally, while being weather resistant.

[@TheLinesEnd]

[@tau_tv]

I’m a photographer that used to shoot on a 5dm3 but hated the size when traveling so I started shooting on an a6500. It works, but I think it’s time to upgrade my camera, and at the same time, start to learn videography. Do I get 2 cameras or do I simply get something like a a7rv and do both on one camera? My photos would be for my side hustle but videos is just for my own learning. Maybe get a gimbal and learn to make some cinematic car videos, etc. What do you think?

[@MrPaulXavier]

I think you would be fine with the a7iv unless you absolutely needed the extra megapixels

Appreciate your work. I have a question. i want a camera for travel filmmaking and 20% of wildlife filmmaking in it. My priorities: No crop 4k 120fps, cinema look, good autofocus, reliability, etc I've selected Sony A7siii as my choice. but the problem is its out of my budget right now(even the used price). I was thinking about getting a used A7sii for the first year and collecting good lenses, then when I have enough budget I can upgrade to a7Siii or FX3. what do you think about this approach?? feel free to add anything u want.

[@MrPaulXavier]

If you definitely want to stick with sony I would probably suggest the a7iv (used) as it's also a better photo camera. The a7sii is good but the color science on it is much worse than the a7iv or the a7siii. other wise the canon r8 would suit all of your goals except the 4k 120

[@abirjana9132]

@@MrPaulXavier Yes A7iv was on my priority list as well. can u elaborate a little about what you mean by Color science of A7sii. do u men 8Bit ? I want to know.

[@MrPaulXavier]

The a7sii had a huge green shift in their videos. So the colors are just not as accurate as the a7iv

[@1yazsh4life]

Paul, what type of lenses did you use with your Sony 7SIII when to did this video?

[@rangersmith4652]

No matter what a camera CAN do, it won't do anything by itself. The user has to pick it up and turn it on. So the user experience is the most important thing. I've used Canon DSLRs for years, so I have a collection of EF and EF-S lenses that easily adapt to the RF line. I will probably pick up a full-frame mirrorless (R6-II) at some point, but for now I'm shooting video on an R50. Sometimes that feels like I have a lens with a camera attached.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Sony zve10 with a long lens would be perfect for you

[@sentry8992]

Would really like to hear your take on high end Camcorders. They do alot of the things the full frame cameras mentioned in this video does at a fraction of the cost. For about $1000 bucks, The Canon Vixia HF G70 checks alot of boxes. It's weird that Camcorders are over looked for Aspiring KZbinrs even as they are simpler to use, built primarily for video, and can even shoot in the much sought after frame rate of 24fps for that cinematic look.

I’ve got the A7S3 and honestly sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between that and an iPhone. When it comes to editing, iPhone videos are really tough on the computer, at least in my experience. And the wide angle lens on the iPhone isn’t really my fave. I usually like something like 35mm or 50mm

[@MrPaulXavier]

iPhones are definitely amazing

[@santiagovillegas2932]

Perhaps you need to shoot in log and 10-bit, but you can't compare a full-frame camera to an iPhone.

[@joe_zupko]

I've compared using 4k 10bit SLOG3 4:2:2 on the Sony to just regular 4k30 on the iPhone 13 Pro, and the main differences show when there's a lot of dynamic range going on. For flatter looking scenes it's harder to tell. Scenes like a white bathroom or a snowy field. What I notice more is the focal length differences. I definitely prefer the Sony, but the extra weight, complexity, and file sizes can make it easier to wanna grab the iPhone at times haha @@santiagovillegas2932

Thank you for this video

[@MrPaulXavier]

My pleasure

[@mikehunt576]

Today the most expensive cameras are those with IBS or in body stabilisation s well as speed burst buffer for shotgun photos., everything else including choices of lenses are possible around $1k

[@Film_it_all]

thank you for your videos

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad you like them!

My channel is outdoor semi action shot from one spot via tripod or handheld. Some talking head shots. I use my iPhone 15 Pro. Want to free up my phone. Would ZV-E10 or another be a good upgrade?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yes absolutely!

[@GoManGoDiscGolf-he5ho]

@@MrPaulXavier awesome! Thanks. Looking forward to taking your two week course btw.

[@RavinderSingh-ft5dw]

Superb work dear

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@nketlwane_m7675]

So informative 😊. do you recommend Canon M50 mark ii been eyeing it ?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yes, definitely. Although I like the Sony zv e10 better.

[@nketlwane_m7675]

@@MrPaulXavier i need to sign up for the course as i want to start a high quality youtube channel, its definitely a skill i need.

[@MrTonebeatz]

What about shooting sports videos/photos for young adults. The canon eos r50 or the sony zv e 10?

[@Soldaatmotion]

I have a Lumix S5ii, can you tell your opinion about Lumix?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Really solid camera - after watching this video how do you think it checks each of the boxes for topics we covered

[@Imcoachfred]

I actually still have Canon EF lenses, would it be worth to buy a EF-RF adaptor, or should buy an RF lens?

[@Imcoachfred]

For example, have a 50mm 1.8 EF lens available

[@MrPaulXavier]

The EF to RF adapter is super high quality I used it with all of my EF lenses when I bought the EOS R

[@Imcoachfred]

@@MrPaulXavier do you have a link, was looking for adapters but there's a huge price difference between some of them

[@truthseeker6804]

im transitioning totally to RF lenses. that adapter is bulky and EF lenses are heavier. if youve got only the 50mm sell it. ive got 16-35 and im keeping that for now.

[@cormacmccoy1]

Really Informative video! Very interesting that after all the looking at cameras I am probably just better off getting an iphone and hoping they don't brick that thing :D. Thank you for the advice ;)

[@MrPaulXavier]

You got it!

[@user-du6wl7qk9b]

Can you please make a video for 2nd display monitor while doing post 31:48. Thanks.

[@MrPaulXavier]

I actually don't live at that house anymore but it was just an HDMI connection from my Mac to an older Vizio televition

[@MovingtoOhio]

What is the best lens for the Sony ZV-E10 for talking head videos ?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Depends on the type of look you’re trying to replicate but optimize for 16-24 range for the focal length and a low aperture like 1.2-2.8 We have a video on lenses on this channel!

[@TheKevFernan]

Great video! Curious, why you didn't mention 8k in your video resolution section?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Most consumer and pro-sumer cameras cannot shoot in 8k right now, and unless you're shooting for massive screen production 8k is almost certainly overkill

[@jbrocas1939]

Great video, but i would be interested in your thoughts on the sony a7 rv.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Great camera, but more photo focused than video focused

[@jbrocas1939]

I want it for both actually @@MrPaulXavier

[@MrPaulXavier]

Then it's a great camera!

[@dr.antoinemelhem963]

Is the p1000 full frame sensor? And does it have record time limit?

[@elliebetheil4249]

How do you compare / which do you recommend, the canon r8 or Sony A73

[@MrPaulXavier]

R8 is better in my opinion. The a73 was the last Sony camera released with their old color science and auto focus systems. The a74 is much better
