Most photographers don’t need better gear, they need better taste
This is the part I strongly disagree with. The difference is keeper rate and expectations. With a modern higher end mirrorless like Sony a7v Nikon Z6III or something, even a beginner can get like a 40% keeper rate, and a moderately skilled amateur can get into like 70% rate. But if you're shooting a

Please Nikon make a Z7 III
Fwiw, I have the Z7 II and the Z8. I don't notice the difference really in real world. And when you use the DPReview DR tool and adjust for 6 stops of recovery, the Z8 images look just fine against the A7V, Z7 II and A7R V. https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr144_0=nikon_z

Got the X2D II & 20-35E! Need Suggestions!!!
People are just frustrated because you made your life difficult by buying something without knowledge. If you bought say a Sony A7V you’d get effortless tracking of subjects and sharp photos. It’s like buying a Ferrari and asking people how to tow a boat. I’m sure it can but if you asked before hand

Deciding between A7V and FX3
I have both and I now use the a7v more. It’s the perfect hybrid camera, I think. Made a little vid talking about the various Sony cameras I have. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help. sony a7iv vs a7v vs a7cii vs fx3 https://youtu.be/oxD2bGmmfCk

Unspoken benefit of the M43 sensor (Olympus)
I think it's true that when you look at the charts on https://www.photonstophotos.net/ the gap is less than the theoretical 2 stops for DR. ... Though it is more than 1 stop ... I'm sure there are various reasons for this difference in practice and I'm not sure exactly which camera models exhibit th

Anyone using a a7V for a B camera?
No, but I'm using it as an A camera and FX3 as a B camera now. A7v is better in nearly every way except the fan but I've shot hours long interviews and live shows with the a7v and never had any heat warning. The only other thing is the fx3 has cineEI and shutter angle. CineEI is easily replicated wi

FX3 or A7V as someone transitioning from photos to video
Honestly the X-H2S is a great camera and in some ways has a better image/video specs than either Sony (open gate, 6K, ProRes or high data rate H265, great color). The biggest improvement you’ll notice is autofocus (Fuji AF is terrible) but the lenses are bigger and more expensive. If you do get a So

Ratlos bei der Kamera wahl
Die Hasselblad ist komplett ungeeignet wenn man kaum Erfahrung hat, auch für viele Leute die Professionell arbeiten ist diese Kamera nichts da sie riesen Daten erzeugt und auch extrem teuer im Unterhalt ist was Objektive angeht.Die Leica ist halt ne Leica, kostet viel und hat einen gewissen Prestige

FX3 or R6V
If you do want to shoot Sony and need to buy something now I'd get an A7V. More detailed image, better AF, better screen, better stabilization than FX3 for under $3000

Anyone using a a7V for a B camera?
If you mean for video, I'm using an A7RV (note "R", so not the A7V) for B-Cam because sometime in early summer last year DJs decided everything needs multicam. I bought the A7RV as my main photo camera to replace my Nikon D750 - after buying an FX3 for video it seemed daft to run two lens systems, a
