    The Sony A7IV is my most used camera, it might not be as quirky and fun as a Fujifilm X100VI, or Leica M camera, but it's the perfect hybrid camera in my eyes. Not many people know this, but the A7IV actually has world-class dynamic range, which is one of the most important aspects of the hollywood film look. According to the CineD database the Sony A7IV has more dynamic range than the Sony FX30, Sony FX3, Sony FX6, Sony A7SIII, Sony A7CII, Sony A1, and most other Sony cameras on the market, even beating cameras like the RED Komodo and my RED Epic Cinema Camera. It's really impressive how this pro-sumer hybrid camera is able to keep up with the competition several years after release, like the Lumix S5II, Fujifilm X-H2s, Lumix GH7, or Lumix G9.

    As a Sony shooter... Sony has to be the most boring brand on the planet after using it for works for years. They are clinical and solid. Fun are RicohGR3,Fuji,NikonZf,Leica. Sony cameras are amazing. But fun? Hell no.

      They are the Toyota Camry of systems. Turn the key, you will absolutely get from A-B. For video, it's all I can ask for or want. Stills? I have Fuji.

    After 155k shutter count and no idea how many hours with my a7iv, all i can say this camera is boring but is perfect.

    I would love to get one, however these cameras are out of my budget, love the format of the video, very clean video, and love to see more,
    just one thing, I would love to see some cameras that cost about 1k not including lenses (I know they cost an arm and a leg)

      Also Hybrid or dedicated either to video or photography?

    I love my A7cii, which is basically a mini A7iv. Amazing looking video and so easy to use and top notch quality. 33MP seems like the sweet spot too. I also love my Fujifilm x-t30 ii for photos, but it’s not used as heavily as my Sony cams. I personally love the utilitarian design of Sony cameras.

      The A7CII looks awesome, but the lack of a second card slot is a dealbreaker for me 😅

    Might be a boring camera but you still managed to make an interesting video about it!

    Sony is as boring as you make it. Use it as a adapter machine throw vintage glass on it all the time yeah its fun. Slap the latest 2000 dollar lens on it yeah it become idiot proof.

    • @frenchfrieog5923
      @frenchfrieog5923 Před 2 měsíci

      LOL actually true, ive got a a7iv and bought a vivitar 28-105mm series 1 lens from 1985 on the flea market for 40€ and its not sharp but the fun gets me.

    literally exactly the video i needed!!! (I have no need for such an expensive camera but I think im addicted to buying cameras constantly)

      Your addicted to travel. This is a travel video. A 2K camera in your living room will still produce boring living room images.

    Sony is VERY boring. I like your channel tons and you’re usually pretty on point but Sony is way too clinical and sterile both in design, UI, and results. That’s not a bad thing if it’s what you’re looking for and lots of people are but it’s sterile as hell.

    • @futc.photography
      @futc.photography  Před 2 měsíci +1

      That's exactly what I say in the video 😄 It's insanely boring, but it's just perfect in every way. (But yeah the title might be too confusing)

    Sony's ...boring? I find the "fun" cameras (I come from Fuji) are just frustrating. I want to take nice shots, I don't want to fidget with buttons and menus. On my Sony a7rV I have 4 dials I use without looking at them (the a7iii wasn't this good), the camera is never in my way, but Fuji's... Fuji's camera are *beautiful*, absolutely, but I wouldn't say they're fun

    • @futc.photography
      @futc.photography  Před 2 měsíci

      The Fujifilm X100VI and the Leica M9 I've recently made videos about are fun for me, both have an optical viewfinder and the Leica is manual focus only. That's a very different photography experience than my sony offers, and to me it's fun. Also, I love the creative challenge of having a fixed lens on the X100VI. I absolutely agree though, the sony is never in my way, while a manual focus only leica might be in your way quite a lot. It really just depends on if you're taking photos to get the shot, or taking photos for fun.

    I would love to buy this camera but it's just too expensive for me to afford it. But it makes me want to save up money to afford it

    That damn side hinged flippy, flappy rear screen though … too slow, conspicuous and nearly doubles the width of the camera.
