God, how much pressure is put on people to have the best cameras, the best lenses, flashes. I have owned this body for the last two years with a set of Tamron lenses 28-75 f.2.8, 70-180 f2.8 and a Samyang 18mm f 2.8 and I can freely to say that this camera will probably be one of the best bodies for the money invested for a long time. Well, I personally know people who work with cameras that are 10 or even more years old and they take amazing photos. I completely agree that new technologies bring reliefs, but certainly your eye and sense of photography itself and the frame are something that will distinguish yours from others and not the camera.
I have the SONY A7II, the A7III and the A7IV. Believe me when I say even the A7II for photography is as good as the later models if you are prepared to take your time to nail the focus. The sensor is beyond amazing when it comes to dynamic range. To be honest, the A7III is more than worth it in 2023 and times to come. Don’t fall for the idea of having latest and greatest models or features. Most of us don’t need them. Photography means “To paint with light” and so long as you can master ISO, APERTURE, SHUTTER SPEED & WHITE BALANCE you can create magic.
Agree about the A7III, unfortunately the A7II’s sensor is not on par with the A7III or the Z5 or Z6 from Nikon. High ISO and dynamic range are significantly weaker than the newer models. Does it matter? Maybe not, images look amazing. But given a choice, I’d probably recommend the A7III if your budget allows.
@@marike1100 The difference is 14EV (ii) vs 15ev (iii) in DR, to say significantly weaker is a bit of a stretch. As for high ISO, unless you shoot in 6400+ very often it is not an issue for most people, not to mention with the advent of AI most noise can be removed at the click of a button. Does it matter to most people? probably not. Not saying a7iii is not a better camera. If your budget allows go for it. But if you're stuck with an older camera the difference is not as big as you might think.
I shoot commercial still shots and reels for small business with the A7ii to this day. Sure, some things can be simplified with the iii, but it’s truly minor with tech being so good in general these ages. It’s the glass that would change everything
I’ve just bought one. As an upgrade from an apsc dslr, it’s a huge leap. For me, the extras of the a7iv didn’t justify pushing my budget even higher, I’d rather put that money towards lenses.
@@maxbenson9982 100% get it. work around the messy menu and you have a professional 24mp full frame camera that was at one point one of the most popular wedding bodies (a lot of my friend's used to use the a7 iii but now have upgraded to the a7iv, they still have their a7 iii as a secondary)
I've had the mark III since it came out. I was considering upgrading but decided against it since I updated the firmware to 4.01. The new firmware update modernizes connectivity and autofocus to include animal AF which I appreciate. It is my rigged out photo studio queen with, cage, monitor, grips, flash trigger and the big Sigma 105 mm; it doesn't travel anymore.
I've used My A7iii sence 2018, and recently got the bigger brother A7iv.. And I still in love with the A7iii and still performing very well.. Such a great gear and one of the best decisions I choose in my life..!🥀
2018? That was my one regret with the A7iii: not getting it in 2018 but in 2022. I think its stil viable... i mean if one cant get good results with it then i dont know...
I hardly ever comment on youtube videos, and specially not on camera reviews, but for this one I'll type a bit because the video and the camera deserve it. The a7III was a game changer, it was the probably the camera that changed not just mirrorless, but all cameras forever. Do you remember when it came out and everyone thought that mirrorless was just a thing introduced to make DSLRs smaller? This proved everyone wrong, by miles. I bought it in late 2018 and never could, and still can't, justify buying another one. The form factor, the weight, the sensor's amazing capability in any kind of scenario, the e-mount lens options and SO MANY other things. At what was considered full frame entry level pricing we got a9 autofocus; 2 card slots (in which sony decided to make the first slot slot 2 and the second slot the first and make sure they are inserted with the pins facing the wrong direction - but nothing else had them, so whatever); the ISO capability that was only surpassed by the a7s line and it was by what, 1 stop? It's "only" capable of 4k video at a top FPS of 30 but it is 6k downrezed; 1080p at 120fps the bitrate could be better, sure, if you bought an APS-C camera like the X-t3, at the time; 24mp is and will continue to be the optimal resolution, you can see no difference in resolution against the IV that has 33mp; I've had Zeiss 1.8s, 1.4s, sigma 1.4s in 35, 50 and 85, samyang 85 (my favorite e-mount lens of all time) and 35 1.4s; Gs and GMasters at 2.8 and finally Tamrons in 2.8 which is what I use now for size and image quality. Up to this day, if you compare it to the Z6II the autofocus is still better and the sensor is still the same, the R6 just overheats and the antialiasing coating destroys the resolution that is lower to begin with. I was always a specs nerd in cameras and there is no logical reason to change an a7III unless it breaks, you only change it if you want it for reasons that are not logical for photography or if you want more FPS, bits and bitrates in video. I still remember that there was so little to say that people would complain about their pinky sticking out or the screen not flipping, because other than that it had everyone and everything beat at full frame at that price and double that. Every single photographer and videographer should be grateful that this camera was made, regardless of the brand they shoot with. It's the one that forced other companies to start keeping up and canon managed to keep up with it with the r6 what, 3 years later? And still the resolution and autofocus are worse, and i'm not even touching the whole subject of limiting the record times or it would set on fire. Also, let's give a big clap to Sony for making a camera that, for me, was able to do 5 shoots, in 2 days, without charging with 1000 to 1200 photos per shoot and finishing up with 8% battery left. I also have 2 batteries, those 5 shoots were to finally have the feeling of asking a client to wait a second for me to change the second battery that I bought just to take space in my bag, because I never used it. Again, I would love to buy an a7IV without feeling stupid. Summing it up, the only thing that triggers me about the A7III is the fact that I look at newer cameras and get mad because I cant justify buying them, I just bought a bunch of analog cameras in every shape, size and format instead. The only other fault I can think of is feeling too clinical, so more than 4 years later it feels too good, if that makes any sense. Hope this helps (?) =) Quick edit: people complained about sony colors, but when blind tested sony won every single time, which at least made it funnier to see.
Im mostly do weddings. Right now I'm with 6d mark II and 5d mark III. with 70-200mmon one and 24 mmon otherone. Carrying them all day long. I tried this a7III from friend and was blown away. Now im cconsidering selling all my canon stauff and switch to team sony.
I do like my a7iii and it’s treated me so well for the 4 years I’ve owned it! Instead of dumping money into the latest and greatest body I have built a very strong lens collection which is more important in my opinion!
The A7iii is an excellent camera for a lot of people. The only true upgrade is the A7RV. If you can afford it then stay with the a7iii with a solid lens. Don't get the A7iv, but save on lenses or A7RV.
I just upgraded to the A7iii from an a6400 and I can say for certain that this Camera is a huge upgrade from apsc and it will be relevant for many years to come. so if you're on the fence about getting it then let me be the one to tell you to go ahead and GET THIS CAMERA.
@Molifemoprosperity lens for the a6400? I say the best ones are the Sigma 16mm f1.4 and Sigma 30mm f1.4 and the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8. And for the a7iii the Sony FE 85mm 1.4 for portraits, Sony GM 24-70mm f2.8, the 35mm f1.4 and the Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3
I bought my 7iii two years ago and it was a switch from the 77ii and the differences are huge! I love this device and hooked up with Zeiss lenses this thing gets evil 😍
The a7iii is still a great choice for photographers in 2023. I've got an a7IV and two a7iii bodies and setting aside video, the older a7iii tracks & focuses very well and delivers great images and is a better value (cost vs. performance), especially used for eleven or twelve hundred dollars. With tax a new a7IV will set you back close to $2700 or $1600 more than an used a7iii leaving enough to buy some serious glass!
@SOLEAUX Excellent 4K at 24 or 30 fps. Good 1080 at 60 or 120 fps. Excellent colors out of camera. Video limitations would apply to more advanced video experts wanting the capability to do serious color grading because that requires 3 thimgs: 1. Expert skills editing and color grading with Premier Pro or DaVivci Resolve. 2. High power computer with 32 GB RAM, 11th plus generation Intel i7 or i9 and a pricy nVidia GPU (3060 ti or better). 3. A camera with 10 bit video output. If you don't have those skills and gear the 8 bit video from the a73 will deliver quality video.
A year ago i got robbed and i lost all my photography equipment, i had a nikon D7500 and a D5600, a few lenses, flashes and other stuff. Since then i been working with another D5600 and a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 (becouse of my budget). This week i'll get a Sony A7III and i'm very excited of make this jump to fullframe, this video makes me want to have it on my hands allready and go out for testing it. Sorry for my bad English!

Hi Martin, sorry to hear that your gear got stolen, that sounds like a nightmare! But I'm glad for you that you are getting the Sony A7III, you will love it for sure!! 🙌
Still rocking my A7iii since my wife gifted it to me in 2019 and it’s been a work horse! Always paired it with Tamron lenses and never looked back. I’m sure Sony lenses are great, but they’re never in our budget. Done lots of real estate photography, engagement shoots, and family vlogs with no complaints. I did however end up breaking the cover over the mic input, but I think that’s more user error than anything lol.
Oh those side input covers... Actually they are something I didn't mention in this video, but Sony couldn't have made them more annoying to open 😅 So I'm sure it's not entirely user error...
Hi! I’ve been looking at third party lenses such as tamron as they’re cheaper like u said. But does the auto focus work well with the third party lenses? I’ve heard people complaining about it so I’d just like to hear your POV
@@OfficialSirigu I only have experience with Zeiss and Sigma as far as third party lenses go on my Sony a7iii and they were working just fine. I would check some reviews specifically about the lens you're interested in and see what they say about the auto focus. I'm sure it differs from each brand and model. I just posted a video about the Sony 24-105 G lens, which I think is a great affordable option. Go check it out if you're interested! 🙌
@@OfficialSirigu I haven’t had any issues with both my Tamron lenses (17-28 2.8 & 28-75 2.8) and the auto focus has been great for me, but it is really depending on what you’re using them for. I’ve never used a g-master lens, but everything I saw when I was researching the differences in auto focus between the two showed the tamron lenses keeping up pretty well, which is what lead me to going with tamron.
@@TheTorinos Thanks! I'll look into the Tamron, Zeiss and Sigma lenses and see. I'm pretty new to photography and I want to get into dog photography as I spend a whole lot of time with my dog and I would need to have a lens that was capable to have fast autofocus to manage to get a sharp photo of him as he sits still for just a few seconds at a time!
Great review! I kept my a7iii when I bought the A7iv and it is still a really great camera. A fantastic backup as well if you need one. I like keeping different lens on the two bodies which works great and saves changing lens.
I've been using a7iii for 5 years. The menu is so clear and the flip screen is so comfortable in most scenarios. Don't over analyze things, in fact a7siii is a great camera but there are few reasons I still don't like in it.
I have owned it since 2019. I love it… my only complaint is the screen… I’ve paired mine only with lightweight lenses: - tamron 17/28 2.8 - sony g 24/105 4 - sigma 100-400 - zeiss 35 2.8 - sony 50 1.8 - sony 85 1.8
Ive got one just under 1.4k with the f1.8 50mm, its awesome but one thing to consider when moving full frame that I didnt is that lens prices also seem to double. Also if youre going the new route I found that often the a7c is the same price as the regular a7iii and personally I'd go with that as it has slightly updated features compared to the regular one also a flip screen.
For photography it's not as good as the A7iii. If one is ok with the slightly older AF algorithms (keep in mind that when this was released it was best in its class), the more robust shutter of the a7iii works better. A7C is limited to EFCS as Sony only put in half a shutter. This means that if you shoot primes in broad daylight, any shutter speed faster than 1/1600 will start to degrade your cut the bokeh.
I got one for $470 with shutter count of 2,597 with a lense and tripod and carry bag with 2x 64gb memory sticks EDIT: it was off of a man who was selling affects of his late wife, I was as respectful as possible when handling the camera and still handle it better than any of my other cameras due to the background of it
Just bought one today for only 800$ with the 28-70. Really excited for it to show up on Monday. Heard great things and my previous camera was a Canon T7 and the biggest thing that I can’t wait to use is the 10fps shooting and the better lowlight photography.
Like most camera manufacturers, as new models are released the previous models in the same category fall in price. Sony knows how to market their products better than most. I don't mind hanging back several years in tech advancements, most of which are video related. Call me old fashioned but I still love still photography and don't need my big boy camera to be a video camera too. There are a lot of us still out here perfectly happy with older camera bodies. My A7iii has performed flawlessly. I probably won't buy a new camera for 5+ years. Spend your money on the best glass you can afford and learn the craft. That should be a rewarding experience you'll have to look back on when you're old and grey like me.
Wow, great video! I'm upgrading from a canon t6i and have been contemplating on which model to get. I hadn't considered this one (i was looking at the a7rV but might look at this one and splurge more on lenses) Your video was very informative! Thank you!
Recently bought the A7R III second hand (1350 euro) because, nice affordable. Not a hair on my head thought for a moment about the A7 III and not a moment I regret my choice. Altough about the flipscreen I agree. Tip, take a small pocket mirror with you for low vertical shots.
I got a nearly mint A7III with 3 batteries, which are all working each a whole day or longer. It has 50k shutter and people on eBay think, every camera with over 12k are crap. So the A7III with 5-20k shutter goes for 1.000 - ^l200 Euro. I bought mine with complete package for 700 dollar. And like I said, only one tiny scratch from thenzipper of a bag can be seen. And I don’t like the new flip screens. You have to do so many steps and your camera gets so much wider. And if you buy such a camera for taking pictures from yourselves, connect it to your phone and you see, what the camera sees.
For photography most cameras manufactured within the last 10 years or even longer (5d mkii for instance) are more than good enough for most people. however most new developments in cameras are in the video department (eg: 4k 60fps) where the older cameras are falling short.
Yes definitely true with regard to the video capabilities improving very fast lately. But also focusing features, noise handling, etc. has improved a lot!
I recently found a used A 7III at a really great deal and was debating on buying it, and this video really, truly helped me with that. Thank you so much!! Coming from an older Sony a65 APSC camera, I'm really looking forward to how this will turn out :D
A7 III je stále skvělý fotoaparát, ve spojení s talentovaným fotografem. Dobrý fotograf dokáže pozvednout fotografii pořád lépe, než Ai v nových fotoaparátech. Ano, nové fotoaparáty jsou skvělé, ale není třeba A7 III zahazovat. A noví majitelé určitě ocení současnouu příznivou cenu. U mne zůstává stále srdeční záležitostí a společníkem na výlety i když mám i A7R V ❤
As an a7iii owner who also has an siii, no. I wouldn’t. There are so many compelling cameras like the EOS R6 and the Fuji XT3/4 that are in the same price as a new a7iii and offer a better set of features. Provided good glass and you knowing what you’re doing the apsc sensor shouldn’t make that much of a difference. And the r6 can do pretty much most things the a7iii can do and has 4k60. I love my a7iii but I got it right after launch when there wasn’t anything else like it. But in 2023 there are better uses of $1300-1600 in the high end camera realm.
The 30-minute recording limit sucks. I am glad the a7 IV has improved that along with offering a 10-bit codec for SLog3. But, if those things aren't necessary for you, and they aren't for most people, then it can be a great camera.
Yes, the A7III works exceptionally well for me. Modern Lenses make it truly shine. Thanks to Sony for allowing Sigma and Tamron to build lenses for the A7 system.
Thanks for sharing this! I just thought about this today, because I will have to upgrade to a bigger camera. Also, I'm really impressed by your english pronunciation! What did you do to be that good at talking english? (I'm also from Germany)
At $2000 this isn't a beginner or budget camera for anyone in Africa or west Africa where I live. That's someone's yearly rent. But I hear it's an amazing camera from professionals here in West Africa
Nice one Joe! Have a look at this video I recently posted: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ue50WgFrmpU.html I go over a few handy settings you can change on your A7iii. That will surely get you on the way!
Great video! I've been thinking about one for a while, with the menu honestly being one of the largest turn-offs for me as a long term canon user. I heard you can't even use the A7III's touch screen to get through the clunky menu?? But good to know you think after the initial setup it isn't too much of a killer! Thanks again for the great content :)
I mainly just use the touch functionality for focusing. I have used a Canon R5 for a few times and honestly, coming from Sony, I found that menu complicated haha! So I really think it's a matter of habit.
The A7iii when setup properly will not need diving into menus. There's more than enough custom buttons and quick menu options imo. The menu does take time to get used to, but so does any and every system.
not everyone likes flip screens. the low vertical shot is the only reason why i would want one. But i much prefer this screen type. LUCKILY the a7r5 has the best of both and hopefully becomes the new standard
Hi there! I appreciate your videos, they are just great! How would you compare this Sony or the Sony R as you mention VS the Fujifilm X100VI. Please, let me know if you can! Many greetings from Germany!
...and a better handgrip...which we've now seen in the A9III. I'm waiting for an A7V to improve on the minor issues with the A7III i now have - grip, limited IBIS, touch screen. Bonuses would be improved AF, flip-out screen, sockets, etc. But there's no NEED to buy the upgrade, much rather a WANT....as per usual.
@@kevinrtres if I had the money, maybe. I just think Sony got it right with the A7iii. 24mp is a sweet spot for resolution. 4K video looks great, and the 1080 120fps is fun to play with ( I personally still find 1080 to be a usable resolution) battery life is fantastic, I only carry 2 and rarely have to change it out on my adventures. You can find some used ones for sub 1k now! Just hard to beat at that price point, especially when they are near mint condition. I feel like most photographers don’t even use their cameras, works for me though! Love buying gear at a steal,
Hi, I am a big fan of your RU-vid video. I want to ask this question, which I’m struggling to figure out. I want a camera that I will use mainly for recording myself going to the gym and doing gym exercises and somewhat being a gym influencer. I am not really into taking photos, so a decent photo quality is fine for me. I want to know your opinion about these cameras and which would be the most suitable for me or if any better camera would match my style. Thank you, and I would hope you reply to my message. - Sony ZV E1 - Sony A6700 - Sony A7 CII - Song A7 IV (My budget is around 2500 dollars)
Again ans again the flip screen ! You don’t understand why it has no flip screen. But many do not like flip screens. For me it is a no go . Fortunately meanwhile Sony understood and introduced the double axis tilt screen on the A7 rV. Hopefully they will stop with the flip screen like on the A7C and A7 IV. On the XT5 Fuji came back to their good 2 axis tilt screen after the mistake on the XT4 . Instead of pushing bad solutions , you should complain about the poor quality of Sony screens.
I think a really good first lens to get is the Sony 24-105 G lens. For purely youtube recording a wider lens might be better, like Sigma 16-28 or maybe Sony 16-55.
Thanks a lot Alejandro, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👍 I am using a Sony 14mm GM for these videos. If you're interested to see my studio setup, I made a video about a little while back: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xkj-lBNqwg0.html
long story short is this. if you have it in 2023 you shouldn't really upgrade, buy a lens! marry the lens, date the body. If you need a hybrid it's as good as it's always been. if you need a photo camera, there are a lot of better choices out there at this price point, but this one holds up great, ibis, high iso, good sensor, AF .. all pluses, you do pay for the video capability though. it's still overpriced on the used market btw.
Amazing little camera and still very solid but i have to admit having used the a7sIII, a9II and a7rV, the ergonomics, menu and controls are very dated and just because of that i often used the a7sIII for pictures and accepted the 12mp for last two years befor switching to the a7rV. Sold my a7III with the grip to a good friend for 900€
@@ginoraas i currently have both and I'm probably keeping the sIII because grey import prices are pushing the used marked really far down. I have not compared them in video mode but i know the rV has the ~1.3x crop in 4K60
About lack of flip display... I have RX10 and there is easy way to control it via smartphone - I can see at smartphone what camera see ad shoot foto, adjust zoom etc. Don't you have it at Sony Alpha? Then flip display is not needed
coming from an 80d n not a pro i just am so happy i got it for cheap. I don't know much bout technicalities because im no pro but this camera is so fast
It does have a flip screen. You just have to pull the live view monitor out and flip it so that it is on top of the camera. The image will auto adjust 180 degrees and you will be able to see your shot. It certainly isn't the best but it works!
Great video 🙌🏻. Do you think that the Sony zve10 is a good camera for photography for someone that is just starting, I’m not taking pictures to make money, just for personal use . What would you recommend. Thank you for your help 🙏
It is perfectly adequate for photography. I take far better pictures with the Sigma 1.4 line of primes using the ZV-E10 than these youtuber fellas. Also use a 3 flash setup with radio controlled trigger for flash photography. Use it at my school a lot because of its size and also because it's super easy to take videos with (usually use Cine2 profile and Leeming LUT). Only thing they cheaped out on is the configurable auto ISO - it can only use 1 / focal length shutter speed. There is a workaround though by using the memory recall slots. Been shooting since the Practica/Zenith era and then Nikon F401X, F65, F80, D70, D200, D300, D3, D700, D600, D800. It's an excellent little camera that fits in your pocket with a small prime. I tend to use it more often than my Nikon full frame DSLR's. Sony colours I fix with colorchecker dual illuminant profiles.
love the video and information, thank you! - i wanted to inform you that taking pictures of the northern lights is a bad omen amongst native american culture in Alaska. Amazing content otherwise! :)
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the video! Oh really, I haven't heard that one before... I know that in Northern Europe, Sami used to tell tales of the northern lights to scare kids. Kind of like the boogieman. Why is it considered a bad omen?
@@SightseeingStan It is! i'm alaskan native & it's believed that the lights are the ancestors & or dancing spirits of children whom passed on at birth. It's just considered disrespectful & a bad omen to take photos of them.
Nice! I have no experience with this combo myself but from what I can tell it's a nice match yes! The lens has fast and quiet autofocus and a short minimal focal distance, so you'll get some cool shots with it for sure! 👍👍
Thank you very much for this video! I currently have the Sony alpha 5100 for already 6 or 7 years and looking at a new camera! But how do you know if you buy it second hand if there is guarantee? I find that scary, buying second hand cameras
How about shutter failure? I have a concern about this, what is the cause of shutter failure?, and is there any way to prevent shutter failure? BTW thanks for nice video!
The a7III was my first camera, as I wanted a camera that I could grow with. Bought mine used for $2000 Canadian about three years ago. This thing has been such a workhorse and I feel little need to upgrade. With that said, I do have a few issues with this camera. As mentioned in the video, the LCD is quite subpar and at times inadequate. It's by no means unusable, but I find the colours on it inaccurate and the brightness is quite an issue at times. Another issue I have with mine is shooting in extreme cold. Living in Canada, it gets really bloody cold (around -35 celcius at times!) and the shutter seems to malfunction. I'll press the shutter button and the shutter sticks at times, forcing me to shut off the camera. Not sure if it's me just not properly acclimatizing the camera to cold, or just a limit of the camera, but it can be frustrating at times.
Yep was the same for me! And yea the LCD is really a bit of a bummer. You really need to check your histogram for correct exposure cause the screen is not reliable. Regarding the cold... I have used mine for 6 months in the arctic in Norway and Finland. So also cold temperature and having it out for many hours and I have never had it fail on me. Maybe there's moisture in there somewhere? 🤷♂️
I sold this camera a few years ago because I was behind on rent and now have the Sony A7C. I couldn't justify spending $2k again for a camera that was 4 years old. It was great when I had it.
I’m so anti-flippy screen I’m looking to get out of canon. Down low landscape mode is awkward as hell. Wish more cameras would adopt the triple tilt thing for photography focused cameras.
A7iii for nice selection of 3rd party budget lenses and autofocus. Nikon is ok but lens selection below f4 is limited and costly. But Sony has all third party af lenses along with their own collection. Also Sony is small compared to Nikon with good battery life. A no head ache system currently.
Hey man! I’m torn between this and A7R iii. I am a landscape and wildlife photographer and night sky, but the price difference between the iii and Riii is still a bit. Any help would be greatly apprecoated😊
I got a7iii new one two days ago bc i have seen how this camera works so as a beginner did i choose the right one? and for videos & pictures which lens you recommend it to me pls. Thank you Best regards
I am currently looking at the Sony ZV-1 as my first camera since it is 1/3 the price, very compact and has very good reviews. I will test in depth first before deciding to keep it or return it to get a second hand A7iii instead. I am a bit concerned that the ZV-1 isn't much better than a modern smartphone and since I have the smartphone always with me, the extra camera needs to be a significant upgrate. Any thoughts about my plans? Is a SV-1 even worth a try for me mainly interested in some street and portrait photograpy as a side hobby.
Well, the A7iii would be a significant upgrade from the ZV-1. Just the fact that the ZV-1 has a fixed lens is already a huge difference, so in that regard the a7iii is a lot more versatile and you'll always have the option to upgrade to higher quality lenses.
@@SightseeingStan I practices the last week with a Canon 1200D a DSLR from 2014 with a mid range and a zoom lense. I realy loved the process of going out with a friend and a camera and shooting pictures. But the technology is holding me back just a little bit when taking pictures and a lot when trying creative videos. That's why I thought the SV-1 might be able to solve both short comings and even fit in my pocket being with me when ever I feel like taking a picture. I think only a few days testing the camera on the street will help me in the decission and I think it was a good idea to first go out with the old DSLR to get a feeling for the process.
@@VR_Wizard The issue is the ZV-1 is only a 1" type sensor. And modern smartphone are more than capable of bridging that sensor size gap with AI. Personally would not buy any camera that has a smaller sensor than a M43 sensor. You would be better off with a used E-mount camera as you can slowly get the lenses while growing.
Do you think I should upgrade from nikon D3300 to this, to get me back to using camera, i'm currently shooting only with my phone? Its iPhone 14PM, and I love its camera!
