The value you provide is unmatched! Thank you. After watching this, I believe the 7iv will be future proof for a good couple of years to come. I only discovered the WB lock a few weeks ago and use it all the time now. Another cool feature I learnt from you was changing the WB priority from STD to white. It just gives it that slightly cooler look that I prefer. In the past I always found myself having to dial back the temperature ever so slightly.
What's your expectations and predictions for the A7Cii that is soon to be released? I'm very curious to see what upgrades Sony made to this camera.
Thank you and very happy to hear that I’ve been able to give you some usable tips 💯
I think the a7cII will be a combination between the a7iv and the zv-E1. Likely a really intriguing offering. Time will tell 😏
@@seandewispelaere So should we wait for the A7Cii if we want the best of both worlds?
@@PatrickMastersProductions The specs aren't confirmed yet and I'm sure it'll have a few downfalls, but worth the wait if you're not pressed on getting a new camera right now
Which video can I find your tips regarding white balance priority?
@@PatrickMastersProductions I think it's always good to wait and now that the a7siii mark 2 is out we can see that the main Pro is much less risk of overheating but 4K 60 has a crop and lacks the sensor of the A7 S3 4 awesome dynamic range in low-light settings but adzan evf
This channel is underrated.
That’s really cool of you to say, thank you
Won't be underrated for long. ❤
Extremely.
One of the best comparisons between these 2 cameras I've seen! Great job! Thank you!
That means a lot, thank you
By far the best comparison video i've come across between these two cameras. So many great and on point informations. Thank you!
Thanks, means a lot
Ur the best Sony teacher, very clear and concise. So good TY 🙌
Sony a7IV overheats when you film over 40 minutes, I just bought it and it happened to me twice! Anyway, my two helpful cents, and thank you for the video! :)
Thanks man, really informative video
Extremely well done video. Good information and clear. Thank you.
Happy you think so.
Once again, I'm so impressed with the quality of your work, from production to post! Super thorough video, easy to follow and jam packed with great info. I would only add that the 7K downsampled to 4K video of the A7IV will always look slightly better than the ZV-E1 because of the extra source resolution. Keep up the great work...Bravo!
Much appreciated, glad you liked it, and thanks for the support. I think I hit that point, but could have been more clear on it?
you're definitely right, but i like the softer look of the lower resolution sensors a majority of the time.
All I’m gonna say is the fx3 was used on The Creator, which is that 12mp sensor👀
well because of this, is part of the reason why many people reduce the DETAIL down all the way so it doesn't look too sharp and digital. which is a problem. i own the a7iv and tend to get a much more organic and pleasing look when i reduce detail and add a glimmerglass filter to make the highlights bloom a bit.
Incredible video and so on point !
Great video. Very useful information for newbies such as myself.
I have been using and abusing in all the worst weather conditions the A7IV for almost 2 years already, it’s amazing! I love the ZV-E1 for its compact size, and outstanding high ISO performance, but as a stills portrait photographer it sucks for its 1/30 sec sync speed when using strobes! Cheers from Japan, great video! 😊
Great info here. Strobes is an area where I've spent ZERO time so I appreciate the info.
I'm taking the ZV-E1 out on a trip for some landscape photos for an upcoming video. I've been (surprisingly) impressed with it's photo capabilities so far.
Thanks for the note and I think it is one of the coolest things about YT to be able to connect with people all over the world.
All the best, keep crushing (your channel is awesome)
Hi! Both my English and photography knowledge ain’t perfect haha. Could you explain me that’s issue of the 1/30 seconds something?
Amazing video. Loved the comparison as I have an a7iv and was looking at potentially grabbing a ZV-E1 as a secondary camera and as a main video camera. The one thing I did want to add to this was with the product showcase mode. You don't actually have to cover your face with the product when you have that feature on and that for me was one of the biggest reasons that made that setting so good. I have tested that feature on the ZV-E10 and the ZV1 II and it works great on both those models, so it should be similar with this one.
Hello Sean ! Thank you for this video! Great quality and personally I have the a7iv and would choose it again and again but the smaller cam is dope and powerful too! But again I love the way the 7iv feel in the hand and you’re right about dual SD card slots. I’m no professional but it’s great to have video and pictures separated it truly is a game changer ! I came from the a6300 and I have to say that old beautiful thing can still keep up with the cameras today! Thank you for the video !
Thanks for the note and I'm happy to hear that you liked the video. Yea that dual card slot aspect sounds CRITICAL for you
Sean you are a top guy, I remember talking to you in the earlier days of your journey and look how far you've come, keep going the sky is the limit
This means more to me than you know, thanks for the note
Amazingly good review. Just subbed!👍
Thank you and happy to have you - welcome
I have had a a7r4 shut down from over heating in 4k in a 74 degree temp controlled house. I had to change the heat settings in the camera.
It took about an hour to over heat.
Interesting. What was the codec?
great video; thanks for sharing!
No problem - glad you liked it
best comparison video on YT. thanks dude.
Thank you for the kinds words, much appreciated
Great video!!! Thank you for the data. It help me with making my decision.
What's ur decision
I'm going with the zve1.
Overheating is not an issue for me since I shoot everything in bursts anyway.. (never doing documentaries, interviews, etc etc)
The no crop on 4k60 and the tiny 1.1x crop for the 4k120 is a must for me.
Rolling shutter is excellent!
It's literally a tiny FX3. 🤯😍
Perfect for photography if you aren't going to print and if you are only going to use it for social media. (Only downside is 12mp so you don't have much room for cropping since this is just above 4k & electrical shutter banding stuff)
🤓
I love the ZV-E1 and agree with all that you said there
@@seandewispelaere very nice video btw! Keep em going 🔥👊🏻
How are you liking the zv-e1?
For hybrid work, my go to is still the A7iv. Good ergonomic form factor, ideal amount of megapixels, better cooling, and super35 mode albeit controversial for 4k60 but I'm more grateful for the ability to crop with great detail.
However, the ZV-E1 is still a huge advancement in tech. Full frame in a slightly smaller form factor than the A7C and great AF.
No doubt, great points here 🤙
Best and the most informative video in comparison of these two cameras
Yea? Glad you liked it
4:00 non-pro here. I knew about dual native ISO but did not know that it is different across so many settings like slog 2,3, HLG and so on. Really, loved the video and graphic overlays and is very well focused.
Thanks and glad that I was able to shed some light on that
Excellent video! Is zv-e1 a miniature version of a7siii? Does zv-e1 do better job for filming action than a7iv due to rolling shutter?
Just wanted to let you know, this video is well done and you have a wonderful way to keep my attention. Definitely going to subscribe as I continue watching this video. PS I am really considering getting a new camera. For the better part of two years I have been using the Canon SL2 camera. It’s only 1080 HD. I have a small Osmo action. Cam three that I have been using. For my 4K resolution. The sound quality is great, but I definitely need to upgrade to something that can shoot 4K, and also do well in low light.
Finally. This is the video I needed.
Great video. Two card slots are important to me, I always forget one in my computer. Haha.
Thank you and ha yea that happens to the best of us
Underrated channel. 💪🏻
A very informative video. Thank you.
I am considering one of these two machines and am dreading buyer's remorse. It is a considerable amount of money...
However, I feel confident that the a7iv would be more suited to my needs, possibly even the a7r v.
Thanks and the good news is that if you keep your box and take care of them, they hold their resale value if you happen to need a switch. Can’t go wrong with either of those 🤙
Thinking of zve1 for travel and podcasts! Could you shoot fast moving photos ?
I own both but got to say if I Love one the it’s the Zv-E1. It’s just more fun to use plus smaller and lighter
Me too and I'm surprisingly really liking it for photos
I purchased a zv-e1 and am still getting to know the camera. I'm preparing a video for youtube and I hope to share it soon. your video made a great comparison between the two cameras. The only problem I really didn't like with the zv e1 is that I can't use the flash at speeds above 1/30 because it only has an electronic shutter. I'm going to have to get another camera for photography.
Glad you liked the video and I hope your video turns out well. Yea, it's certainly a video-first camera
When you start the USB streaming and plug it in there is a BLACK info box that covers the lower half the screen - how do you get this to go away without turning off the streaming?
Thank you for your helpful review. They're both nice cameras. Nice new features on the ZV-E1. I owned the A74 and I'm happy with the image quality, specs and AF. As a photographer, the EVF on the A74 is also great to use. What picture profile did you use for the low light test?
Thanks Alex and agreed
Slog3 for all of the videos on this one (besides that S-Cinetone clip)
@@seandewispelaere Thank you.
Thanks for the video. The a7iv looks sharper to me in your downloads, especially in your beard/chin area. The ZVE1 looks lower quality somehow?
Great video. I have both and they complement each others very well
Thanks and fully agreed there
Q😊
This page is underrated!
Do either of them have a "Blue Steel" setting?
Good channel deserves more subs and views. One of my monetized channels not seen by algorithm too. 😢 good luck!
Excellent Video. You need more attention than what you are currently getting with these. I wonder in the instance of the color test, I'd imagine its due to the fact the A7 IV sensor is a Conventional Bayer construction and the ZV-E1 is a Quad Bayer? Must have some sort of factor in it at least. I am still on the fence between the two as a part time professional hybrid user.
Thanks - trusting the process over here and trying to make the best videos possible. Thank you for the kind words. Good point, could be? Tough call fore sure, hope this video helped you in making that decision
I am happily using my A74 for years now. As I slowly shifted toward video I just purchased the ZV-E1 for 4k60fps nocrop and lightweigjt because the gimbal use. Love both, and also this video ❤
Great video. Can any one confirm that in ZV-E1, if we can record to SSD via USB: 4K 4:2:2 12bit or 10bit - Intra - 24p - Slog3
How come I didn't know this camera Giga-Chad existed before! New sub! It's by far the best review I've seen, the cameras next to each other with the FPS and that table with ISO was a super touch. Did you notice any problems with the 12mpx for pictures in the Zv-e1? I'm planning on doing Everest Base Camp and I want to get a compact camera.
And did you buy it yet?
Which would you recommend for all-around content on CZcams ?
Going for the zve1 i do automotive videography, can you recommend some lenses which gives a nice bokeh ❤
superb video
HI! thanks for your video, what would you recommend as a B cam together with a FX3?
Tough call. I like the ZV-E1 a lot as a b-cam. If you need long recording though, I’d suggest the FX30 if another FX3 isn’t an option
@@seandewispelaere thanks 👍🏻
Zv-e1 looks great! Would buy as a second for my Sony a7-4. Cuz crop in 4k60 is rly annoying
It's a solid companion to the a7iv
Your studio lighting is exceptional.
Thank you - it's a constant battle
did you use the sony's slog3 to 709 lut? because when i'm grading the footage it doesn't look the same as in your video
Yes, I did with some additional color grading.
In weather like India where 40° Celsius or 104° fahrenheit is normal in summers is zve1 going to work for a cinematographer? In which I am gonna take shots like Max 1 minute each but most of them gonna be on s&q pr 4k 60 ? What say?
great video.!!
Glad you liked it!
Dude. Killer video, man. So helpful
Thank you and I’m happy to hear that it landed for you 🤙
Love the jab at having the memory card face you 😂
How do you compare the zv-e1 with the new A7C II? What are your thoughts?
I just got my a7c2 the other day, videos to come on the channel very soon.
Worth pointing out the ZVE1 also has 180 240 fps - another advantage.
I’m a photographer - who is starting to get into videography (hybrid weddings). I have an a7iii and A7iv! I’ve been using the custom dials etc to switch A7iv to video then back to photo - which is a pain when putting it on my gimbal!!! I am torn between the ZV-E1 and FX30! I love the idea of the fx3 sensor! But 1 SD card 😬! I’ve also never had an SD fail though…. Is it good enough for professional work?
That's awesome - thanks for sharing. I'd say that it isn't ideal for that due to potential overheating in addition to the card slot aspect. I think the FX30 might be a better option there (just might need a lens for it)
@@seandewispelaere thanks Sean!!! I have the Tamron 17-28 for now! Fx30 looks great!!
Helpful
Great to hear, thank you
I didn't know the bouncer at my local club did camera reviews, awesome!
The price in Europe is above 2500€ for zve1, awaiting for the price going down to 2k.
Dig it 🤙
Would the A7IV + A7S III not be a better setup?
You haven’t gotten the A7iv to overheat? Mine gets hot on just about any moderate run. 😭
My main reason for not buying an A7IV would be: rolling shutter in 4k is very high and if you are moving/doing pans while filming it's going to be a potential issue. Still crazy value though
Thats a really good point - thanks for sharing
If you turn ibis off, you can remove it
So it’s July did the 120p update happen?
It’s sure did:
czcams.com/video/5JmsemBjcYo/video.html
Look at that sharp jaw line! Look like that Adonis meme
Ha - guilty
I like the skin tone on the ZV-E1
How about how it feels in hand? I’m a big guy, 6’4, so I’m wondering if the a7IV would sit better in hand?
a7iv will absolutely feel better but the ZV-E1 is surprisingly beefy for such a small camera
@@seandewispelaere thank you, because I want to take some photos as well, and with this comment, I’m likely to go the IV now
I bought the A7IV and I love it!
Boom (me as well)
can u explane dual base iso for sony zv e10?
Sure thing - check out this video:
czcams.com/video/cGbgdPKHp1E/video.html
Sorry, misread this. The ZV-E10 doesn't have a dual base iso
ok. thx for answer.@@seandewispelaere
I got my replacement ZV-E1 btw.. : )
Thanks for all the work you do !!
June is flying by.. where's that 4k 120 / 240 HD..?? 🫢
Did you? That's great, enjoy it
Right? I'm guessing that they are going to push that one a bit...
Dropped just now
@@jameswilson4712 you’re all over it 💯
great video👍👍❤❤
Lots of Love From Nepal 🙏🙏🙏
Sending love right back at ya
That crop from the a74 destroys that camera.
I don't know why Sony confuse people with the XAVC terminology, just write H264 or H265 and with or without all intra and mention all are 4:2:2 10bit - like other cameras.
The main reason I choose the A7IV was the number of physical dials
Not a bad reason at all and I can’t say I disagree. I have found some good custom seatings for the ZV-E1 to make it efficient, but yea I get it.
Zve1 is there any Heat issue?
It depends - full video on that here:
czcams.com/video/pnkjRfxPExg/video.html
I thought Seth McFarlane just completely made up quagmire from his imagination for family guy… I now see this guy was his inspiration 😮 geeez what’s it like having an absolute shelf of a jaw line?
Does it reel in just as many girls as quagmire does? 😂
On a serious note this was a good comparison! Thanks for the content.
Glad you liked the video 🤙
I deserve royalties on that character 👀
super like!
My man!
Great ideas. From a journalist and journalism professor, button up a few things to take to next level-- 1) show yourself less and show more video of other people/objects 2) all side by side comparisons need a split screen rather than back to back.3) shorten videos
What is your favorite user friendly vlog camera ?
I think the a6700 or the ZV E1 are stellar for this although there is a slight learning curve
Sony ZV-E1
Hallo können sie bitte meine 3 frage zu antworten wäre ich dankbar sein. 1: bei 4k 120 FPS oder FHD 240 FPS welche Stabilisator kann man aktivieren? z.b Standrede Stabilisator kann man aktivieren. 2: 120 FPS und 240 FPS Fokus Training funktionieret? 3: bei low light ist genauso wie FX3 und A7siii ?
Sony ZV-E1
Hello can you please answer my 3 questions I would be grateful. 1: at 4k 120 FPS or FHD 240 FPS which stabilizer can you activate? E.g. you can activate the speech stabilizer. 2: 120 FPS and 240 FPS focus training works? 3: at low light is the same as FX3 and A7siii?
I am a new youtuber, i want to buy a camera for youtube,reels and sometime family,friendly photoshoot.
Which camera should i buy?
Video priority 70% photoshoot priority 30%
If someone need a video prefered camera close your eyes and buy ZE-E1 but if someone want a good combination of pics and videos pics a little bit more priority then go and buy A7iv.
Seriously want ppl use sony zve1 for wedding videos
Hopefully nobody
this is ridiculus, the a7iv have a crop in 4k 60p but the zv e1 not?
I dont know what to say about this
Bruh f*ck the cameras I want bros jawline
Haha I don’t have any tutorials on that one
th A7IV overheated multiple times when recording concerts or longer interviews at about min 50, 25p 4k xavcs 10bit. even with opened monitor etc. sucked hard. gonna sell it.
Sorry to hear that, what was your auto-temp turn off setting?
ZV all day!
Right?!
that’s why I bought both!! 😂
th env e1 will get 1080p at 240fps
Correct 🤙
none of the 2 sony hAS TO DO MUCH BETTER THIS TIME FOR VIDEO PANASONIC IS KEEPING UP AND IT'S EVEN BETTER FOR SOME REASON.. i amo not going to buy sony for the moment.. i think of switching
The new Panasonics are really impressive
The only thing you left out of the video comparison was that the a7iv is sharper, your facial hair & hair were crisper, which is one of the most important factors but LOVE the base ISO work KILLAH! BUT just watched this video & the zve1 looks sharper! LOL! czcams.com/video/F1_UBFiWCI8/video.html
A7iv overheats easy,i had it and i gave it away...is only for photos,no video
What was your heat setting set to?
I think it has to go like this: if you’re pretty much solely a content creator, ZV-E1 is the choice. However, if you want a brilliant hybrid camera the A7 IV is the king no question. I had a ZV-E10 (yes it’s not full frame but it’s a similar concept to the Z1), and frankly I HATED taking photos with it due to no viewfinder, terrible ergonomics and lower pixels. I think people forget how important EVF’s are and that having a chunkier camera makes it much easier to use on the go
Agreed. For the similar price point I don’t see why anyone would choose the zve1 over the a7iv.
Why does auto tracking always look like a spastic cameraman is operating the camera? It’s not correct camera moves at all.
Auto tracking or auto framing? Assuming that you’re referring to the auto framing on the ZV-E1? If so, have you messed with the crop level or tracking speed settings?
@@seandewispelaere I don’t own either camera yet. I’m only commenting on what I’ve seen in reviews. Sorry , I meant auto framing. What I’ve seen is…camera always lagging behind the motion, not anticipating or creating space ahead of the motion. Is there a video where someone demonstrates the alternative speeds or crops (if that’s any better)?
Copy that and I’m not sure if there’s a video showing that in detail. I showed a few settings in my first ZV-E1 video. I do see your point. I think that if you set the crop level to minimal and tracking speed to slow, you’ll get a better result
iso test was useless...
A7iv has much better video quality…that’s absurd. It downsamples from 7k.
A7iv for picture ZvE1 for video
No doubt (I've also really liked the ZV-E1 for simple photography recently which has been a nice surprise)
I think the biggest mistake is to compare the cameras for purposes that they were not made to work with.
I’m seeing a lot of people saying “photography goes from A7IV, if it’s video it’s from ZVE1” but they’re forgetting what kind of video they were built to film.
ZVE1 has slightly better settings but it is not so far from the A7IV, and the point is that ZVE1 has few applications that would be travel and vlogs, other than that I don’t think it has many safe applications, weddings is definitely not her case and if you go this way it will ruin your work due to overheating and 1slot for SD, for corporate events is also not her case, in short, ZVE1 has A7SIII features for those who make video for CZcams, Travel, because they are environments that you can control, came out of it, the camera is not reliable and It may have left a lot in the lurch, and it barely launched and has several reports of overheating in countries that have a good ambient temperature what would it be of hot countries like Brazil, India, Africa, etc.?
Stop saying “Photography camera X, Videographer camera Y” is not how these comparisons work.
