Thanks! I find that the biggest difference between the two cameras is the field of view. Otherwise, it's very similar. The color on the pocket 2 might've been because of the LUT I was using (which was meant for the original pocket). I just use 'normal' color for everything nowadays to not worry about color grading at all, and I find the two cameras' colors are similar! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp Interesting! I might have to start doing that. I shoot D-cinelike and then amp up the saturation in post. I find I can get more vibrant colors that way without all the tan white people in the shot, looking unnatural, hahaa. I might just hold out for the Pocket3! ...can't be long now!

You're right, or at least personally I am not a big fan of carrying a gimbal as a non-professional 😁. So the 18-105's great OSS is great, although the F4 on an APS-C sensor isn't the brightest and its 'bokeh' isn't great if you're used to seeing the results on the F1.4 lenses. Like you mentioned, it's relatively cheap, has most likely the best OSS out of all E-mount lenses, and can go from 27.5 - 157.5 mm. It definitely remains as the most versatile lens I use! I am surprised to hear that Tamron wasn't as stable - from my quick research when it first came out, I thought its stabilization was comparable to the Sony, just at a higher price point! Good to know! 👍👍

I haven't filmed too many long videos with the A5000, but it held up when I filmed few 20 minute videos! 👍👍

For the A5000, Near objects or Macro - Sony 30mm F3.5 Macro (SEL30M35) Far objects - Sony 55-210 included in this video Although if you just want a all-in-one lens, the kit lens 16-50mm or the Sony 18-105mm are great options! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp thanks 💯

Sounds like you need to go from wide to portrait, then a F2.8 zoom lens like the Sigma 18-50 ($550) or the Tamron 17-70 ($800) might be good, but both are pretty costly. If you don't need the background blur, using the kit lens alone would be a much cheaper way. Adding the 50mm f1.8 OSS if the budget allows should get you the bokeh! 👍👍

Hi, the lenses in the video? 1. Sony 16-50mm 2. Samyang/Rokinon 12mm F2 3. Sony 55-210mm Hope that helps! 👍👍

Interesting! I assume it tastes just like Shin, cause Soon definitely tastes different! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp Yes! You can also of course just add Korean fermented chili paste to the Soon and that also helps it taste more similar.

You're right, but people do use their phones for videos too nowadays, so I still think it's worth a comparison! Even camcorders or video cameras aren't used as often as they used to be as people just use their phones for videos! 👍👍

No worries, thank you so much! 👍👍

Like you mentioned the two cameras are very similar, so if you were upgrading I would look into the A6000/A6100! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp Hi, thanks for your reply. I was thinking about the a5100 but I'll have a look at the a6000. Thanks for your help.

If you need the flip up screen, the A5100 would still be a good option with its improved autofocus ability compared to the A5000! 👍👍

Thank you, sounds like a good set of lenses covering multiple purposes. I agree that Sony lenses can be expensive, especially full frame G/GM lenses! 👍👍

As budget as it can be when buying cameras! 👍👍

Thank you! A5000 are part of the Sont APS-C camera family and in terms of use and interface, not a lot has changed over the years...so you can look at any Sony APS-C camera guide videos (eg. A6000, A6400, A6600, etc) and they should all be helpful! 👍👍

No worries, thanks for the comment! 👍 👍

Kit lenses are lenses that are usually bundled with the camera body. For example, when Sony sold the A5000, it sold 2 variations - 1. A5000 with the kit lens (16-50mm or 55-210mm or both) 2. A5000 body alone. So the 16-50 and the 55-210 are considered "kit" lenses! 👍👍

It's definitely an older camera in 2022, so in most cases your 4K smartphone cameras will look "better" 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp Yes, only using zoom in a winter is bit tricky, also sensor size, for night filming

Not the most premium, but works for us! 👍👍

That makes sense, I agree 100% The 18-105 is the best video lens with its superior lens stabilization. The newer Sigma 18-50 is more compact and brighter than the 18-105, so if you mainly do photos or videos on a tripod and don't need the extra reach, it makes more sense. I am really interested in the Sigma 18-50 to see if it can be a replacement for the Sigma trios! Thanks for the comment 👍👍

I wouldn't say its the sharpest lens, especially compared to the newer F2.8 lens like the Sony 16-55mm or the Sigma 18-50mm... but still sharp enough for most uses! 👍👍

The three lenses you mentioned + A5000 makes a very portable kit! Although the ZV-E10 is similar size, but much more expensive. So the A5000 is still a great camera even in 2022! 👍👍

Thank you, both the OP1 and the OP2 are great cameras that makes you think you don't need big cameras! If you can get the OP1 for a great price, the price difference might be worth the slight sacrifice in lowlight! 👍👍

You would use a recording app + mic to record audio on your phone! It just means that you will have two separate files - video/audio file from the A5000, audio file from the phone. Afterwards, you can sync the audio file to the video/audio file by either through your video editing software or manually by matching the two audio files. It is a cumbersome process, and was my biggest reason for getting a camera with an external mic jack. Hope that helps! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp yes it helps! Thank you 💕

Between the two, I personally like the image quality from the Osmo pocket compared to the Osmo Action, but the versatility/ultra wide angle FOV of the Action also makes it a great camera! 👍👍

I would say it has the best lens stabilization out of the APS-C lenses! $280 is a great price for the 18-105, nice find! 👍👍

It's probably one of the 'simplest but hearty' soups you can have! 👍👍

No worries, thank you so much! 👍👍

Thanks so much! Try making it, it's pretty simple! 👍👍

It really is a dilemma. I really prefer the image quality of the Sigma, but it's personally too shaky if it's handheld. So Sigma 16mm for the sit down/tripod videos, and Sony 18-105mm for any handheld/moving videos! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp Bro thanks for reply. Greetings

@@DoubleThumbsUp If the Sigma 16mm did have build stabilization it could have been a perfect lens

@@gewooneerlijk exactly, it might have been a bit bigger and might cost a bit more, but it would've been worth it! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp What about the Sony Fe 24 f1.8. Is it better than sigma 16mm. It cost around 1000 usd

Manual focus Rokinon could work, but I've found that some clips are out of focus because it's not the easiest to tell on the camera screen! 👍👍

I was really interested in buying the AF version, but after using the MF version extensively for a week I realized that I probably don't need the AF. But it's definitely tempting, so maybe in the future! 👍👍

Sounds like you have a plan! I think it depends on what you value more, the ultra wide angle of the Rokinon or the bright aperture of the Sigma 16. As you mentioned another option would be to do the Sigma 18-50mm and the Rokinon 12mm. The 18-50 can replace the Sigma trios in 90% of the situations so that would be an option too! 👍👍

Which 2 lenses did you get with it? The Sony 70-350mm will be great for wildlife photography, but it's $1000. The Sony 55-210mm will be a good alternative for around $100-200! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp I got the basic kit lens and a 16mm

@@kendallanthony6230 then yes the 55-210 will be a good telephoto lens to add! 👍👍

16-50mm is a zoom lens, so your field of view will range from 16mm (24mm Full-frame equiv.) to 50 mm (75 mm Full-frame equiv.)! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp thanks for letting me know! :)

Perfect, I am happy that you found it helpful! 👍👍

Hope it was good! 👍👍

Sam actually handled the fire chicken noodle better than I did! 👍👍

Thank you for the comment! 👍👍

I agree, although depending on what you normally film/photograph, the 55-210 can be swapped for a Sony 10-18 or Rokinon 12mm! 👍👍

Were you looking at the AF version? It looks like B&H has it available! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp sorry, just re-read my comment and i meant to say you can only buy this lens in the US, it's not available in the UK. But shortly after my comment i found out that the Samyang is basically the same lens and that is available in the UK. So all good, thanks for the video!

It's an accommodation in Thailand! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp Very nice, can I ask what town I want to visit ; )

@@andrewfreeman88 it's Koh Samui 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp Nice, I was thinking that. I have to visit someday 😎

Yes! It's definitely got the better quality and it should since it costs more! 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp What's do you prefer for video recording A5100 or A6000? Which camera will better for video recording? A5100 have same XAVC codec as A6000.

@@MaximGuitarist Personally I would choose the A5100 just because of the flip screen since I film myself a lot. Also as you mentioned the video quality between the two cameras are very similar! 👍👍
