Why I Chose Sony As My Main Camera System

[@georgitushev]

BMPCC 4K and 6K also records the Gyrodata also the RED Komodo does

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes indeed. which is great. Should have mentioned it. I hope everyone gets in on it.

[@georgitushev]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis you should try Gyroflow for video stabilization if you haven’t, powerful free software with tons of outputs and formats, compare vs catalyst would be interesting to see 😎

[@JoATTech]

I wish Davinci supports gyro data from other cameras (not only BMPCC). That would be great.

[@xWood4000]

@@JoATTech There is a gyroflow plugin for NLEs like Davinci resolve. Gyroflow can't use all the information from Sony cameras but it's still pretty good

[@OhioShaves]

You sold me on little Dougie "Sony ZV-E10" over a year ago. After a year, I upgraded my kit lens to a sigma 16m 1.4, that you recommended. Great setup for new KZbin Creators. After 3500 subs, Now i'm looking into upgrading little Dougie to Sony FX30 or full frame as my main camera. Little Dougie will become my 2nd camera angle. Thank you much for all your help Mark. Great Video

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

[@toufjs]

Mark your reviews are so great to watch. Talking about cameras can be super "tech-ky" & information overload "ing" but somehow someway your natural sense of humour compliments the videos so well, the video ends up being super informative and way funnier than an episode of friends ever will.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks!! Could it BEEEE any funnier?

[@terencemorrissey4413]

I switched from Nikon to Sony about four years ago, I prefer the Sony GM and Sigma Art prime lenses.

[@aaronballard9119]

Sony shooter here. For me it was the auto focus and ecosystem. As a rookie it was important to me to have budget friendly quality options and reliable af to help me along.

[@WGNTAidan]

I've personally thrown in with Sony APS-C. An FX30 and a ZV-E10 with the Sigma trio and a zoom. I'm a marketing manager shooting for work and wanting to get into content creation and the cost savings going with crop sensor only has allowed me to buy other goodies, great audio, lighting and a DJI Air 2s, which is like a son to me and who I take on playdates to the park. Eventually I'll offload the APS-C gear and go to full frame, but I can't imagine going anywhere else other than Sony right now because of the ecosystem - the lens selection, the really cool digital audio stuff, the AF.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Smart!!

[@StoriesByJes2G]

I used to be a Canon girl, but like you said...the lens selection! Price and avaialability. The ZV-E10 is my first forray into this Sony galaxy and I am definitely loving it over here. I watch your videos about lenses and I'm like wow...I can actually afford that lol. When I get my next [Sony] camera I don't have to worry about what lenses to get because I already have some.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

That’s it - the lenses are just there for the song system - whatever you want - you can get

I love my a6400. Ordered it off Amazon 2 years ago and still use it to this day.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it's still fantastic

[@MaxwellStarr]

I've shot with Sony since I got into photography in 2014 with an A-Mount A58. I moved to an A7ii a year later and today I have an A7iii and A6400 as my two main cameras - I've been invested in Sony for so long it doesn't make sense to switch. It's funny to hear 'they are one of the major players' argument at 8:41 in your video as that was not always the case, for the longest time no one carried Sony, the shops only carried Canon/Nikon (sometimes Pentax) and I had to buy everything online, it's only been recent years where Sony's been so good they've forced their way in to local camera shops (which out in the Maritimes there aren't many). Like the videos, keep it up!

[@Furkan_Aykac]

I'm a youtuber who is at the beginning of a lot of events. I used my iphone 12 pro max for 1 year. Actually, the camera I wanted to buy was fujifilm xt4. But where I am, the price has increased by 400%. That's why I focused on entry-level cameras. I was going to buy canon r10 . Looking at the reviews, I suspected the Canon R10 was overrated. I tried r10 in a store. It definitely needed a separate lens for my use case. Why I wanted to choose Canon 10-bit color range 4k 60fps No shooting time limit Not warming up. but a friend recommended sony zve10. For Sony ZvE10, I think this camera is not fully explained. For example, the Catalyst browse software is a huge plus. In the reviews They said there is a heating problem. But I noticed that they tested it without the temperature setting you previously made. So i rethink what i need the 10-bit color range 4k 60 fps features These are not important for my usage. But lens selection And the catalyst browse Verry important... I buyied Zve10 thats my first mirroless camera. :) Mostly thanks firstly recommended @buraksolt And the great reviews Mark Bennet from Camera Crises

Great video as always Mark. Makes me feel good owning an A7IV and ZV E10. But I have to confess, I also got myself a used Leica Q2 monochrome and I have to say: these monochrome sensors are on a totally different level regarding low light performance, if you prefer black and white photography. ISO 10.000 - 20.000? No problem :D

Hey Mark, I'd think most of your audience is firmly planted in the Sony ecosystem. Personally I came from Canon and I'm sticking with Sony all the way!

Switched from Canon to Sony few years back. Night photography was my favorite thing and the A7III seemed to be the one to beat back then (and probably still is). Also loving my A7IV and the lens and accessory selection for Sony. Major things need to happen before I switch to something else.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - the lowlight performance on the A7iii and IV s so ridiculously great

[@maxsam201]

I had a G9 for a while, switched to S5 at the wrong time (S5 Ii came out about a month after). Auto-focus is the thing for doing videos. So I'm trying to decide at this point - either go with S5ii or switch to FX30/a7C, while it's not too late (I've got only 3 l-mount lenses so far).

[@quirkworks4076]

You convinced me to switch my 35-year brand loyalty to Sony and I ain't looking back! (I can't look back, actually, since I can no longer afford a rearview mirror...) But seriously, I am SOOOO happy!

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis They do but the points you bring up about Sony are spot on. If i was starting over again without already having the RF lenses then I would be going Sony

I'm still a relative novice shooting videos mainly, so far I've got an rx100mkIII, zv1and zve10 w/16mm1.4 sigma lens. I'm happy with my gear as it gives me room to grow, I'm a firm believer in "earning your gear" for now what I have is ideal for my skill level. Actually you're the main reason why I ended up staying in the sony eco system, your reviews especially on the zve10 really helped alot. Anyway keep up the good work, Love your content!

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. I originally chose Sony (a6400... for now) simply because most of my friends were shooting with Sony so I knew I would have better access to borrowing lenses, accessories, etc. When I decided to quit my job and go to film school, I knew I was going to have to buy a new camera eventually anyway, and I really thought about switching to my school's preferred brand, Canon. But when I really looked at the two brands and compared them, for me it also came down to the ecosystem. It's not just the abundance of lenses and accessories available, though. It's the combination of Sony's clearly mapped out path of progression for whatever is important to the user making sure that there is a product available for almost anyone, and the assurance that no matter where you jump into the ecosystem you will be able to use the equipment you buy with virtually any other stage of equipment. For example, I'm a student, so budget is very important to me. I recently grabbed the APS-C 15mm F1.4 G lens for my A6400. Knowing that if I were to get a job tomorrow that would require me to buy an A1 or an FX6, I could use that lens on them as well, that's huge. Their entry level is interchangeable with their professional grade, and I don't think that really gets stressed enough. It's not just that they have a better ecosystem, but the fact that their ecosystem accommodates and encourages the growth of artists at every level.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

well said!!

[@xWood4000]

Wouldn't it make sense to rent cameras for a job? Only reason why I've used my Sony for gigs is because it's between my camera that I'm used to and the workplaces' original R6 (which is often anyway on some simoultenous gig) because the budget isn't large enough to cover renting camera gear.

Great title! My ”main” camera system! :D It's very useful to have a second camera system, for certain uses, if you can afford them. It also helps with not becoming a brand fanatic, and also widening your horizons and understanding what others do good/better (and worse), if that can and how it can benefit you. For instance, using an OM-1 with a 100 400 as a relatively light and compact, but powerful, long-reach daytime wildlife camera.

The S5II had my brain going down the same road. The main factor for me was the lens selection. One day Panasonic might get me to switch but for now Sony is king. I own an A7SIII, two A74’s, and an ZV-e10.

[@castielvargastv7931]

So how many lenses you need? I need two primes and a zoom. Which lense you dont get from panasonic? E mount has more lenses but its just more of the same and most of the lenses are old with heavy focus breathing. I need quality not quantity

[@catalin-ap]

I like that the Panasonic S5 and S5 II have by far the most detailed 1080p in any camera system, from what I've seen. ZV-E10 and any Sony APS-C is dreadful for 1080p (basically looks like 540p or 720p upsampled...). Though they're absolutely great and detailed in 4k.

[@CristoforoBonissone]

I love Sony. I have Sony. Everything you said is true. But deep sincerely I'm waiting for the release of the Canon EOS R5 Mark II to reevaluate the situation. (it will cost too much, I know.)

I to own the A7IV. My decision was based on the need to have the highest resolution but at the same time good low light performance. I know the A7SIII is the king of low light and the A1 has 50 MP, but for me the A7IV sits right in the middle and has the best of both worlds with a resolution of 33 MP at a price you can't complain about. Besides, you just have to stop chasing after the latest and greatest at some point and just go out and create something. For me is make money, not spend it.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - I wanted an A7RIV at the time for photos, or the a7siii for video, but the A7iv was cheaper than both and a much better hybrid than both. I’m happy with the camera for sure

[@ContentCreatorDan]

I started out using a go pro when I got in to video many years ago in hero 2 days. I then went to Sony as10 (still have it to this day). Then I dabbled in dslr with a canon t6. While it took great photos, it lacked in the video department imo. So I went to using my phone and still use it. However I am going to be going Sony on my next dslr purchase. I just love the image they produce and their trickled down tech in their more inexpensive models.

Hello Mark. Greetings from Argentina. Here all cameras and lenses are expensive for us, but Sony has much better prices than other brands. I'm currently using the A6100, but since I use it almost exclusively for video I'm thinking of switching to the Zv-E10.

Fantastic video, Mark, really enjoy your channel! - Sony, for the same reasons you have mentioned: Started with a6000, bought Sigma lenses.

I've always wished Panasonic could make their full frame and micro 4/3 lenses and bodies interchangeable like Sony. The beauty of having an A7IV and using the same lenses on the ZVE10 is an incredible advantage.

[@bartmeeus9033]

I use the ZV-E10 with a sigma 16mm to mostly film at parties and take some pictures in burst, i bought the sigma 16mm after seeing your video's and it is the best combination, i hired a Sony A7 IV with a equivalent of the sigma 16mm from sony with it, tested it and decided a 2nd ZV-E10 with a 30mm sigma would fit my needs better, maybe the pictures on the A7 IV would be better but that extra quality didn't justify the price, instead i bought a 2nd DJI RS3 gimbal to make those automated shots you can easely program with the display and some rode wireless mic set and saved a few bucks. Thinking to even buy a 2nd sigma 16mm because that combination is so sweet, without any color profile the colors are amazing in low light, mostly its setting the right focus area and speed and that little ZV-E10 is just an amazing camera, i also bought the smallrig stand you featured on your channel, thinking about the FX30 but i don't record in higer framerates then 24FPS, IDK, feels like it would be wasting money unless you have something to say what would be a reason to buy it, because your video's made me buy that sweet sigma 16mm and i would buy a FX30 if you would say i can improve the quality even further...??? Oh yeah i also bought the Ulanzi quick release plates because of you and IDK if you ever reviewed a seymor vibe RGB little light from smallrig, those little lights are amazing, i run them at 1% and get a nice max ISO of 400 when filming at dark parties...

Hello from the U.K Mark, i love your videos, i hope your life is doing well. Thank you. Please may you make a video about the marker display setting with the zve10. There is an option for 80 and 90 percent. At first i didnt know what this is, but now i realise it is for the crop in post using catalyst browse. It marks 80 or 90 percent of the display with a white border so you know that if your shot is within the lines, you can apply a crop in post and you will lose no footage due to crop. Check it out if you have time, if you think it will be useful for others to know in a video. Im not sure if you mentioned it before, i cant remember. Thanks again for this content, always helps me out and motivates me .

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the marker displays are actually safety zones because some television displays will only show 80 or 90% of your image (similar to a “title safe” zone. BUT your thought of cropping later with catalyst at 80 or 90 percent is actually a great use of these borders!! I will try to mention it in an upcoming video

Haha love you videos man. I went with Sony FX30!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Good choice!

[@livestreamchicagoevents9987]

I switched 4 years ago and never looked back. There was never a moment I felt the need to have any other platform other than Sony. Stick with what works best for you, don’t follow the hype… just try and if it fits like gloves then that camera is for you.

[@TheCoolFactor]

Just got the ZV-E10 after a few of your videos and paired with the Sigma 18-50 F2.8 I couldn't be happier. Your videos really helped! Switching from the exact same Lumix cameras as you (GH5, G7) I spent a few weeks with a leased A7IV and as much as I love the full frame, the E10 is such an amazing value to start with in the Sony ecosystem. Keep 'em coming!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

awesome!!

[@the_rat_run]

You are to blame for me buying my own Dougie, Mark.... I don't think your enthusiasm for Sony is misplaced, the ZV-E10 is 'just right' for my needs and goes everywhere the dogs & me go!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the zv-e10 is soooo great. I will take that blame!!

[@muhammadrayhanfirdaus1309]

As a Canon M series user, Sony are always be my target, at least for now. Nowadays, Canon and Nikon are both outrageous in terms of price and avaliability. Sony is the red straight line for me especially APSC a6xxx series albiet lacking on IBIS. Cheaper third party lens is what I need. Although, Canon new APSC cameras from RF-mount series would have been very interesting choice if they don't ban third party AF lens.

[@cabellofatto]

It is most definitely “fleshed out.” Pipes are flushed out; ideas are fleshed out. Thank you for caring. ❤ 😂

[@PhotoGearFun]

Like you I love all cameras Sony is at the top of my list for many of my photography needs. By and large they have just about everything you would need for most types of photography. For wildlife video I choose Canon because I feel their IBIS is better at up to 400mm but for vlogging their IBIS is pretty aggressive. I love the R5 for bird photography as well but other than that I would pick up my Sony in most cases. Fuji comes with me if I am out and about in town and that Panasonic S5ii is growing on my for vlogging although it's a bit large. Luckily you and I seem to have a great camera budget but if I could buy just one camera for my photo and video needs the Sony a7iv is the winner by far. Cheers.

[@jeffb8824]

Great video! I am on Canon and Pan m 4/3. I have been thinking of jumping over to Sony for all the reasons that you mentioned. Although, I really like the look of the s5ii. Even though it's nice to have 100s of lens options, I have found the focal lengths that I suit what I do on Canon and i would have to experiment on a new system. How do you find the S5 autofocus on full body shots? Most cameras are pretty good when the face takes up a lot of the frame, but struggle with full body. My canon struggles with this. Is the S5 reliable? Thanks again for all your great and friendly content!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I think the S5ii autofocus is plenty reliable. Haven’t any any trouble with further away full body shots. If you have the focal lengths and you have Panasonic m4/3, then the s5 makes sense for sure. I really like the sony system overall, but go with your instinct and get the one that feels right to you.

[@1bertoimagemaker]

I love A7IV, but i record some events and overheating is my great fear. In Brazil the sun is a best :)

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Brazil heat will cause any camera fits I am sure. keep the screen open and keep it out of direct sunlight because the A7iv can overheat for sure.

[@workingwiththelight3119]

I am waiting for new Sony zve1. Rumors are very exciting.

[@christianjadot4459]

Choosing between "ecosystems" is tough ... My corporate brain and my personal brain are at odds. I am trying convince my shop to move away from Nikon, and I am pushing for Sony. Sony seems to have a good grip on the "do everything" market. We have employees come and go, and we need everything from professional photos to ENG run and gun video, and every once in a while high end video. Now, if an individual came up to me and asked where to start, I would recommend Canon's ecosystem because it gives you more options in the long run, especially for video. You have Canon, Black Magic and now RED that all have their toes in the Canon ecosystem.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it is tough.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

would choose the zv-e10 - but if you have a phone right now - start shooting some videos with it

[@mamunoz23]

Hi I’m a newbie that has been doing research for the last several months, yes months. I thought I was sold on Sony due to the ecosystem. I mainly want to do real estate photography and sports. Fuji seems to do a great job with the cont. fps. For sports but lens options don’t seem too diverse. Also the bodies seem to be less expensive. What am I missing 😢😢😢

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you’re not really missing anything - Fuji is great. They are apsc bodies, so you won’t get the same blurry background as easily compared to full frame. But that isn’t going to be an issue with what you’re shooting. just make sure the camera has a fast burst rate for sports like the XH2S. Sony has so many lenses and bodies available for every price point and they have done a great job on the video front as well. but every system is good right now (although Canon R does not have many budget lenses). you just hav to pick what one is best for you.

Hey Mark What About Vlogging Camera in Full Frame As a Daily vlogging.........

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The A7iv is the one I use for that. good stability, no wobble at wide angles. The A7C can work, but you’ll need catalyst browse or a gimbal

[@MusicWorldProductionX]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yeah Actually In KZbin There lots of videos where talk about lenses but there are no One talk about lense which you can use for Vlogging, Reels, And Talking head videos. Can you make a dedicated video for Camera Lenses For Vlogging, Talking head videos Reels and portrait photography please 😊 BTW Love your Content Big Brother.......

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I will write it down. Good suggestion. But to get you started - if money is no object look at a 16-35 2.8 GM amzn.to/3FvzzNj or 16-28 2.8 sigma amzn.to/3YZ8Pvv or the 17-28 2.8 from Tamron: amzn.to/3JsAJtV

[@noahscofield]

My catalyst browse has been crashing after each clip! It’s been quite aggravating. Idk if it was an update wanting me to pay for the subscription

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I find that you do one clip and then press the 'X" to close "Correct Clip" and then it says - "you'll lose your changes" - but that doesn't matter and I click OK. Then I have no crashers.

Gyro is not really a benefit to me as it tends to smear the picture if the shutter speed is as low as i need it for filming.

if you’re only walking, I find the 1/50 is fine, but for fast movements, you definitely want to up that shutterspeed

Since you have both Sony APSC and full frame, when do decide to take out APSC? Besides lighter weight, any other advantages? Thinking of selling APSC bodies now that I have full frame. I’m always grabbing A7IV.

I like the ZV-E10 for travel and vlogs. The FX30 is for heavy duty work, raw files, timecode, or 4k120. Other than that - I take the A7IV

I have Sony zve10 when I put the camera in 10s to take a single shot by my self on my tripod why is the pictures blurry. My pictures are only clear when some one takes it … but if I’m taking it my self it’s blurry . What settings should it be on for my picture to be clear if I don’t have on one to take it , . ???

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Your autofocus will be set when you press the shutter - so when when you move in front, you will not be in focus. You can use the app and press it that way when you're all set and then the focus will be when it should.

[@beautywithcharlenej3480]

Thank you so much

Every once in a while I'll look at another camera brand. But, when I consider everything that I want from a camera system I keep coming back to Sony.

Funny to me that the S5ii commercial plays while I’m watching this…. If you have money invested in Sony it makes no sense to switch. If you have no lenses you might look into Panasonic now….

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Panasonic will be very tempting going forward as they release more lenses and bodies
