I have a habit of spending way to much time researching things before I buy them. So I thought I would turn that into a positive thing by posting reviews of things I like here. My reviews will focus on my interests of cameras, computers (laptops and desktops) video editing equipment pro audio and anything else I think is really great. I have spent much of my professional life as a musician (bass) and sound engineer.
Excellent, review! I love the way you chose the stroller because it was most comfortable for your child! I think many reviews forget that we are pushing these products with little people in them! Thank you
So wait wait.... does the crop factor applies to the aperture too? this is the first time I have ever heard of this, Im new in this photography world so, this might not say much but, from tons and tons of comparisons on YT, not one has ever mentions this, this is a huge point!!
Not worth the hastle to flash vbios for 5 fps boost...in balanced mode my gpu gets 80Watt max and in performance 85Watt even overclocking it by 160 mhz gives u maybe 3 fps more
I just ordered the fotopro xlite 3 from AliExpress for $132. It's the same as the ulanzi except for the ball head. I'm looking for a light video for a mirrorless setup. Do you have any recommendations?
2:40: "Less light will get in" ... this is actually not true. f/2.8 on APS-C lets in as much light as f/2.8 on full frame. The only difference is the DOF. Regarding low-light performance / noise, it feels like the best APS-C sensors are about two stops behind full frame sensors. This is mitigated somewhat by being able to buy a faster lens for the same or less money, and definitely lower weight. That can easily make up for one of those stops, e.g. buy a f/2.8 lens for your APS-C camera instead of a f/4 lens for your full frame camera. And advanced denoising in software like Lightroom can easily clean up remaining noise for critical shots. Basically I have found that recent APS-C cameras like the A6700 are very competitive with full frame cameras in most use cases. I agree with @SilatShooter's comment here. in fact, It seems like a secret, in that many influencers, reviewers, and even the manufacturers regard APS-C as tech for "beginners" and you should eventually "graduate" to full frame. That may have been the case a few years ago, but no longer. (Thanks for reading all of that!)
I just got my A6700 and it's an amazing camera! I also have FF and have always felt that bang for your buck, Sony APS-C offers much better value. I think for more than 90% of shooters, APS-C is more than enough for amazing results.
Thanks for the review man. Nicely thought. I have an a6000, a6500, and five lenses and will be adding the a6700 soon. As soon as I can convince my wife! Ha! I'm def invested in the APSC ecosystem.
As far as I know it's the one that's been around for a while. I ordered it from the viltrox store on Amazon. In some of the pictures show it with the gold lettering and some with the white lettering.
I'm in a dilemma, I need nothing from FF except for the better low light performance. Not even better bokeh. Been using an a6000 for years and found myself very often in very dark situations. Been using the Sigma 1.4 lenses on APSC and will proabbly jump to an A7C with something like an 35 1.8. Do you know if I loose all the low light advantage if I go for F1.8-F2.8 on FF compared to the F1.4 on APSC? (My optimal would be F2.8 has better LL performance than F1.4 on APSC at ISO 6400+, forget bokeh)
It's hard to say if f 2.8 will be better then what you have. I do know the A7C with the 35 f1.8 was really good in little light situations. If you can swing getting an A7iv it is incredible in low light. I have shot at night with it with a very high ISO and had very little noise.
Don't get drawn into the idea that you need full frame. I did use full frame and it is great but if you are doing mostly videos, well, there is not much difference. Sure you get more light but at the same time the aps-c lenses having a whooping 1.2 are cheaper. Also, its much easier to film with an aps-c camera, especially on a gimbal. But I get why people like the full frame look. For me though and for most people the aps-c even with this price is still a better choice. Smaller bodies, cheaper lenses, smaller lenses, easy to carry around, etc. If you are a professional then, yeah you can go with a full frame. Is justifiable.
I have both, I really like the a74 when I do portrait work, for events like weddings I think I would do well with both, but I am very happy to use the a6700 for everyday! I really like having an apsc and a FF and sharing the lenses. I bought my lenses with both formats in mind (Sony 11mm f1.8, Sony 24mm f1/4, Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8, Sigma 56mm f/1.4, Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II and Sony 70-350mm G).
@@hjkhhjkh3635I have both full frame and APSC lenses. You can use either format on the a6700 and you can also use APSC lenses on the a7 iv but you have to go into crop mode.
@@lieflikes what would you advise me to buy? I have the budget for either camera. I need something to shoot outside, shoot vlogs, and also at my desk/studio setup.
@@hjkhhjkh3635 it's hard to recommend a camera as everyone has different needs but I can say I haven't been in a situation yet where I have regretted keeping the a6700. If money is a concern I would probably get the a6700 if you have the funds I would look at the new A7C ii.
got a7iv today . its insane in low light .33mp allows me to use crop sensor lens while vlogging .I think this could be the best camera in the market right now for vloggers and street photographers
I am faced with exactly the same decision: a6700 or a7IV. I come from the a6600 and played around with the a6700 the last few days. I really don't like the evf, but the 4k 120p even in 10 bit 422. No I am trying the a7IV for the next days. Looking forward to it and how to decide since the a new A7IV was available here in Germany for 1.800 Euros some weeks ago while the a6700 starts here with 1.699 Euros.
Here is the US there is a $1000 difference. If you can get the A7iv at that price it is a hard choice. Might want to and see what specs the A7cii has but it will likely have the same evf as the a6700.
I am interested to hear what your verdict will be in the end! Same as you Markus, I had an a6600 myself and I am now contemplating to go with an a7IV or maybe with the soon to be announced A7cii instead of the a6700.
Interesting video, yet not completely right in every aspect. The amount of light (per pixel) with an aps-c camera is the same as with a full frame camera, when they carry a lens with the same aperture. What IS different though (as you state) is the effect on the depth of field, but not the amount of light per se.
I don't think one is really any better than the other. If I had to use just one I'd probably use the f-38 because it has the locking system and holds more weight. I think a lot of people use the f-38 for larger things like cameras and the F-22 for attaching smaller things like microphones.
I love both cameras, but I’m favoring a lighter setup. Sony ZVE1 gives me the lightness with a full frame. A7IV is a bit heavy. A6700 I find to be compact, but I’m missing the low light benefits of full frame.
If you need the low light capabilities and you don't mind not having a viewfinder the ZVE1 is a great camera. If you want a full frame hybrid that's lighter you may want to wait for the upcoming A7Cii. It looks like it's basically a full frame a6700. They should be announcing it at the end of the month.
I got the regular Watch4 44mm. I personally prefer its sleek and more futuristic vibe. Not to mention that for those who workout frequently, the lighter the watch the better. Battery lasts 2 days, give or take, and I lift weights and run 4x per week with Always On Display turned on.
Even after more than a year of release, this was the best video I've seen about the Galaxy Watch 4 so far. And I've watched a few the last few days. 😄 Thanks for that! 👍🏼
