What is the best wedding camera in 2026 if price doesn’t matter?
Not including a Sony option in this is ridiculous. An A7V, A1II, or A9III all could be argued are top of the list. I would argue that the A9III honestly is capable of things for weddings that no other body even is. With a true global shutter and crazy sync speeds it can do things you simply can't ac

S1Mii body drop to $2356 during the june Promotional Campaign-but still to expensive compare to its competitors
Genuinely confused as to how you could get this so wrong. The S1II and the A7V are the same price currently in the US ($2899), The R6 III is $100 cheaper, Nikon Z8 starts at $3100 used on MPB, and the A1 starts at $3400 used. At $2356, the S1ii a DEAL. Let's break this down: - Photography: all the b

Is rolling shutter really a big deal?
I have the Sony a7iv. I didn't even know " how terrible" of a sensor it has until I was watching a7v reviews. I went back and looked at some real world footage with whip pans. It was barely there and only if you knew what to look for. I laughed.

FX3 is lethal for photos
If you think that's lethal, then I think you would be incredibly blown away by an actual photo (or even a more standard hybrid) Sony camera. The FX3 works but is clunky from an ergonomics perspective and 12MP is suitable for social but no ability to crop/reframe in post is tough. You should rent an

Are partially stacked sensors useless for photographing moving subjects?
No. You’re drawing completely incorrect conclusions. The Sony a7V has excellent sensor readout speed. Rolling shutter is very difficult to get in electronic shutter mode, especially compared to the previous a7IV. With the a7IV, I always had to switch to the mechanical shutter even when a person was

Camera recommendations for film student?
In no particular order: Panasonic S1ii Nikon Z8 or ZR Sony A7v Canon R6iii Read the reviews, watch the videos and hold them in your hand and check out the menus. Any of them would do a great job. But there isn't one perfect camera: some have open gate, some have RAW, some have higher frame rates, yo

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

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
