Not really, I don't recommend using it, it is potentially counterproductive. Dual Native ISO is something completely different. I have made a video about that back in 2017.
The main argument for DSLR cameras was the cost of glass being cheaper. However in the past year alone, Sigma and Tamron has made excellent budget glass for just about any system. So i no longer see the point in suffering the cons of DSLR anymore
@@TheHybridShooter it depends on the budget. Here in Latin America you can get a used entry level canon DSLR with the 28-135 for 70usd. And that is what most people can afford, sadly. Canon, Nikon, and 4/3 DSLR lenses can be adapted to mirrorless, so people see it as a long term investment too.
I totally disagree, at least if you’re only interested in photography and especially if you’re just starting out. DSLRs are really cheap. You can get a quality one for under 100. The glass is super cheap so you can buy a bunch of different lenses to see what focal lengths you prefer. If you end up not liking photography as much as you thought you’re only in for a couple of hundred dollars. Then if you decide later to get a more expensive camera you have an idea of what you like and what kind of lenses you like. A ten year old camera can take just about as good a photo as a newer one.
@@Localtraveler2376 I strongly disagree with your disagreement, especially when somebody is just starting out. As I have said in the video, there is a different learning curve with DSLR cameras. Everybody is used to smartphone photography with live view nowadays. DSLR is not a user-friendly technology. It would just confuse people who are used to smartphones. Choosing a DSLR actually greatly increases the chance that a newcomer will end up not liking photography. Not to mention that most newcomers are not interested only in photography. Recommending a DLSR to a newcomer is simply a terrible advice.
@@amermeleitor Yeah, the lack of super-cheap used mirrorless cameras can be an issue in emerging markets, I don't really know what I would recommend in that case.
Agree 1000% with Panasonic G9. Been using it for about a year now with 2 Olympus Pro Lenses (8-25mm F4, 40-150mm F4). Results are stellar!! Shooting Raw with DXO PhotoLab Elite is like getting a whole new Sensor for the G9 - amazing!! Shooting landscape. I still have my Nikon D850 which I use for birds.
I looked back at some RAW's from my G7 I took in 2017 recently and don't really understand why I sold it - beautiful even through lightroom on auto. I would imagine the G9 with the bigger sensor must produce some lovely images.
Thank you for this video. The Panasonic G9 was one of my favorite cameras of all time. If they ever came out with a G9 II with a modern BSI sensor I’d buy one immediately. I’m losing hope though.
great picks honestly, I agree with them, I've been wanting to snatch an X-E4 but prices are very high lately and its nice to watch a video where someone talks the truth about the HIGHLY OVERRATED Canon M50, its a super popular camera for "beginners" here on youtube for some reason and its really bad, it is not a camera I ever recommended or would ever recommend at this point.
The G95 can be had for about the same price as the G85 in the used market, with a lens(es), and also has unlimited recording, unlike the G9, so it is still great for a amateur or family camera system.
EOS-M is more capable as an overall system than the R7, R10 or R50... with next to no native lenses, I'd say you're wrong the EOS-M cameras will be around for some time still
Thanks for being correct about the EOS M cameras, especially the M50. There is a cult following for these cameras which I have never been able to understand and which can only be explained by overcompensation for buyer's remorse.
There is a cult following because it is a great camera. It is still overall better value than any of Canons current R series crop cameras. There are enough lenses to cover any need you may have. It's AF is still excellent in 2023 (dual pixel AF shits on Panasonic or Fuji). It sounds like you've never used one, typical armchair expert 😉
@thetoyota86perspective54 I have used one, it is still the worst camera that I have ever tested. M50 video quality is so poor that it doesn't really matter whether it is in focus or not. He is completely right. M50 is joke, much like the cult that follows it.
I got a sony a6400 in 2021 and I'm really happy that is still considered a good option for 2023 standards. Back in 2021, I wasn't sure if get this camera was the right option due to the constant rumors of sony a7000 series that we didn't seen yet.
If you could recommend one.. beetween panasonic gx9/or g90 or g85, and sony 6400? I'm looking for an affordable system but their price didn't go down at all... should we wait and hold to buy later?
Hi,,good video, i choosing buy a camera for street and some portraits,,, i am between fuji xpro3 or 2,,, xe4 or panasonic gx9? wich you consider to have the best image quality and material buits? Thanks!
In 2024 what would you get. Fuji XS-20 with 15-45mm lens for 1400 or Panasonic S5 body only for 1000, looking for something hybrid that will last me couple of years.
Great video, as near always! Two questions: 1) is there any Full Frame near the 1000usd that is recommended? (Canon RP, Nikon Z5, Sony A7II, etc) 2) What do you think about Nikon lineup and the future of the brand? Thank a lot!
Thank you! 1. Not really. The only advantage would be that would already have FF lenses to use when you upgrade to a more capable. Crop cameras are generally a better choice at that price point otherwise. 2. I don't really know, they are basically just trying to stay close enough to Sony at this point.
@@Al.j.Vasquez why bad choice? D810 is better experience than anything before a7 III or canon r6, r5. If you're lucky for a price of good brand new apsc body you'll have good dslr, good zoom and prime or two. It took a7 IV for me to swap from d850/d810 to mirror less (a73 was a draw, why change if you don't get anything). I'll add that I don't do much video, even now since I have a7 iv. For someone doing strictly photos dslr are not completely dead yet.
@@forthphoto because you would be buying into a dead system which is not being developed. That is a much more expensive option in the long term, because you will inevitably have to switch systems at some point. I wouldn’t say that DSLR offers a better experience, simply because of the size and weight.
I have a GX85 and I'm considering buying a hybrid second camera, mostly for video. Between the G85 and Sony A6400, which one would you choose? I already have a few Panasonic lenses that would be ready to be paired with the G85 but the PDAF and low light performance of the A6400 seems tempting though I'm not yet sure if it's worth paying more for it over the G85.
Hey nice video bro! Really good selection of cameras. I would also add Sony A7 mark 2 to the list. Is a very old camera, but it is still in the Sony catalog under $1000
Very good choices. One question though. If you need a camera around 1000 usd only for photography, no videography at all, which one would you recommend?
@@TheHybridShooter I have found a brand new Nikon Z5 selling for 1050-1100 USD in one of the local shops in my area. What do you think about that camera? I intend on shooting mostly still subjects. So, I don't need the best autofocus tracking.
@TobiasRieperGood lol, D200 might actually be the worst possible advice. There are literally dozens of cameras that are better. D200 belongs to the museum.
Very good video !! I just have one question. Is a Sony RX 100 m4 camera for $200 a good option in 2023? I would appreciate your response, thank you very much in advance
No viewfinder. Well, you could get one of those 4 lens Russian turret viewfinders, but..no hot shoe to mount it on.. I have a viewer in the style of a slide viewer, the big cone shape, and would love it if it could pop on the back screen magnetically.. Using a strip of tape isn't something I'd want to deal with after. Does anyone offer glasses that receive the image?
I'm thinking of buying a camera but I'm undecided between sony alpha a6000 vs canon eos 2000d, which one would you recommend (for nature, landscape, street photography)
And what is with the Nikon z5/50 both are excellent beginners cameras, done 70k pictures and a lot of video with it! Even with the “bad” af you learn when to use which mode, no problems at all for 80% of my use cases 😅
Great video. I think Sony APS-C are the best choice, cause if you then want to upgrade to full frame, then you may have already some lenses (unless you buy only APS-C ones). If ZV-E10 got EVF it will be best of them all. Without EVF it's the best studio YT camera IMHO.
Thank you! Yes, but realistically, Sony APS-C users are rarely buying FF lenses. No EVF on ZV-E10 is the correct choice, as it helps keep the price down. You can get A6400 if you need EVF.
@@TheHybridShooter You do not have some focal lengths as APS-C for e-mount (like 135mm or 70-200mm). I got Sony APS-C for 3years+ and some of my lenses were full frame anyway, but at the end of the APS-C journey I knew I'm gonna get A7IV, so my lenses were purchased in this in mind. And actually lately some APS-C lenses can be sold for more they original cost was (lately for example 16mm and 56mm of Sigma trio - at least in my country) 30mm is now very cheap though. What I mean about ZV-E10 having EVF, it will be better photo camera. Now it's excellent video entry level Sony, but lack of EVF kinda annoying for photos. For video I will prefer ZV-E10, especially any YT related video, since it got this product showcase mode which A6400 is missing. Although for vertical content A6400/A6600 is better because it's screen is visible on both portrait and vertical mode, while ZV-E10 screen hides behind the tripod in vertical mode :D.
It's a good value proposition to go APS-C and to get Samyang FF primes, i.e.: 18, 35, 75 (or 24, 45, depending on ideal focal ranges for personal use case). Keeps form factor small, price down and switching to FF easy. Maybe one APS-C like the Samyang 12 f2 to cover ultrawide. If Tamron release a G2 of the full frame 28-200 with optical stabilization it'd be a dream lens for APS-C.
Hi, what do you guys recommend coming from a Canon 750D? The Panasonic Lumix GX9 or G110 seems to be a good and compact package. Would be happy if some of you can share their opinion. Thanks :)
Great video. You have the best camera related content on youtube in my opinion. Can I ask, what camera/s would you recommend for filmmaking on a budget?
Thanks for the review! I didn't get why you mentioned Sony a6300 instead of a6500. The last one has IBIS. From my side I'm about to buy the cheapest over 1000usd full frame camera and my choice is Panasonic S5 markI. 10 bit video, awesome kit lenses, 265 codec.
Different type of sensor, different controls, different menu system, different mount... they don't really have much in common and the AF on Zfc isn't really better.
Is there any point getting a Compact instead of ex. iPhone 12 Pro for photography under 500-600$ ? Or is it good (not best) cameras around that price point?
My Canon M6 mark ii is leagues better than my iPhone 14 pro. It’s not even close. You would have to spend more than $5,000 on a full frame Canon RF body and L-series RF lens to notice a difference over the M6 mark ii and one of the Canon or Sigma f/1.4 lenses.
@@TheHybridShooter Pick one up to test and get the ef-m 32mm f/1.4 or any of the Sigma f/1.4 lenses. You can spend $2700 on a full frame R series body and another $2300 on an L series RF prime and the difference will be barely noticeable. The iPhone 14 pro is not even close.
@@stonewp You can spend $1599 on Sony A7 III + $350 on any budget Samyang prime lens and it will destroy the M6 II. You will see a lot of difference even with APS-C cameras with Sony made sensors, due to their vastly superior DR. Not to mention horrible quality of 4K video, which is actually heavily pixel binnined 3K video upscaled to 4K. Comparisons with iPhone 14 Pro are complicated due to 48 MP ProRAW mode which will actually give a lot of dedicated cameras “run for their money”.
The M6ii is an awesome compact camera… I would say better than any of the cameras on this list and nearly equivalent to Canon’s latest aps-c R7 release.
Damn!! I was getting Canon EOS R50 for shooting stills and cardistry videos, i thought canon was THE best brand. So no canon at all is your opinion? Im total newbie with cameras ...
Canon has been abusing their market position for many years by selling sub-par cameras to people who are invested in Canon system or think that it is THE best brand by default, IMO. R50 has no in-body image stabilization, which is a must-have feature in 2023, so I definitely don't recommend buying one.
@@TheHybridShooter Well, canon eos R6 seems cool gadget but no money yet for that. It has IBIS, FullFrame, LCDmonitor in every direction, 4k. 2000e cheapest price with glass and i only got like 1000e. What do you think of sonys a7ii? it lacks turning screen and 4k. But has FullFrame and IBIS. Nikon Z6 would be wonderful, but again a bit pricey with glass. And no turning screen, only up and down. Nikon Z5, could be good too but does it have bad video qualities? Screen same as Z6 i guess. Hard choises xD
@@user-sh3kn9ov8v It seems like a cool gadget, but it isn't. It also has crop in every 4K video mode, no aperture priority in video, bad rolling shutter and so on... A7 II is very outdated, I don't recommend that.
Fairly good breakdown and comparison, yet I am rather curious, as you gave a rather favorable review of the G90/95 camera, by itself, but dismissed it here in this comparison. The crop in 4K is disappointing, but Every Camera requires some compromise, some “work around?” Not my intent to be antagonistic, just looking for clarification? Stay well and Happy shooting. 👍✌📷
All of my reviews are made in the context of the situation on the market at the time when I make the review. There are much better compromises available at the moment, which is why I have “dismissed” the G90 / G95.
@@Invintius No worries. Back then it was 2 weeks ago, but like 2 days before I put that comment in I sold GX85 back. Compared to Sony APS-C it felt like 20 yo technology :D.
I love and apritiate Your reviews and videos, but I have to ask, why no Olympus/OM System cameras? I am looking into m4/3 options, and debating with myself for months should I get the G9 or EM-1, EM-5, OM1,OM5, or go the full frame route. I am 100% into Photography and think a more compact lens system with solid quality lenses is benefit. FF looks to be heavy and large.
No particular reason, I simply preferred Panasonic cameras when I was M43 user, mostly due to their superior video capabilities and better value. The compactness of M43 gear can be deceiving, especially if you take the equivalence into account.
@@TheHybridShooter In my country (Serbia), Panasonic is easier to get, definitely, and that is strange, but Olympus has good quality, that is why I am overthinking, and with the S5 as a ff option has almost the same price, makes me think am I going to get better quality glass and more options, with Olympus or Panasonic/Leica combo vs the generic, yet solid, ff Panasonic or Sigma glass which is about 30%-60% more expensive, most of the time.
@@ivanshix FF is cheaper and lighter than m43 equivalents. Just look at something like the Panasonic 10-25mm f/1.7 vs the Sony 20-70mm f/4. $1700 vs $900, Sony has longer range and I think it is lighter too? If you want FF results on smaller sensors, you may end up paying more than FF itself.
@Shariq Ahmed🌎💙 You equivalence is slightly more false. 10-25mm f1.7 is F3.4 equivalent, so closer to F4 than to F2.8 (almost in the middle). There are numerous reasons to use F4 lenses on FF cameras - higher resolution, superior dynamic rage, more detail due to lower pixel density and so on... Heavy a bulky FF is a myth as I have explained numerous times on this channel.
No nikon Z50 ? or even the Z30 ? so underrated ... with a good balance between photo and video , good quality, good auto focus for vlog and glass from viltrox ( 13mm f1.4 , 23mm f1.4 etc .. ) Sigma already announced the 16mm /30mm/55mm for nikon Z mount . I know dont have the same quality like sony a6400 or zv-e10 /fuji xs-10 ( autofocus and Log etc ) but for nikon shooters the ftz adapter and the Nikon ergonomics / Flat profile /colors is good choice with a respected 4k image . By the way you have a amazing channel and reviews . I am always watching your videos . thanks
Where to find X-S10 under 1k USD? X-E4 is an excellent but unfortunately this camera is non-existent lol. Always out-of-stock. I would like to purchase a fuji camera but their availability and price in my country is unreliable.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks. I have checked it but unfortunately the total cost is around1700usd to ship here. I also checked the X-E4 in your link and as expected it is "currently unavailable".
Just a technical note: Unlike the G80 the G90 can be charged and powered using USB, has unlimited video recording (which even the G9 doesn't have), 120p slow motion, and came in set with the 14-140 II. And unlike the G9 it's got a fill flash, live view composite, and is more compact, and has slightly different ergonomics. The sum of these things could be valuable enough for some to consider it. As for the LX100 (II or not, doesn't matter) - whilst the aperture range of that lens is good, it's not the sharpest lens by any measure. Edit: I said the G80, not G85. Hybrid Shooter just deleted my response politely pointing out this inaccuracy 🤣
K3 III is actually the worst camera in that pice category, considering that you buying into a dead syste. It is absolutely not par with A7 III in terms of ISO.
@so vu Yes, I am 100% sure. Pentax ambassadors like to spread this misconception a lot. It is caused by the fact that Pentax uses SOS ISO scale, Sony uses REI, which is which is lower by almost a full stop. It is shown here, Fuji also uses SOS: ruclips.net/video/sjui5-gPNqk/видео.html
@so vu There is even my comment underneath that video :) You should not "try to keep the exposure settings more or less the same". You should use exactly the same shutter speed + aperture and adjust ISO to match Sony exposure (you will have to use higher ISO on Pentax). Keep in mind that Pentax uses different ISO scale (SOS) than Sony (REI). The difference in actual sensitivity between these scales is about 1 EV, so if the A7 III and K3 III look the same at ISO 6400, it means that Sony is about 1EV cleaner in reality. It is the same thing with Fuji X-T4, which uses the same IMX571 sensor and SOS ISO scale. It also took me some time to find out why X-T4 ISO performance seems to be magically good. Unfortunately, both X-T4 and K3 III are far behind A7 III if we account for ISO scale differences.
@@TheHybridShooter what you just said is above me, I am an amature. but thank you for claryfing this ;), i really wanted to buy k3iii)), i was deciding between k3iii and sony a7riii (they both cost the same). now the k3 is out of my list. would you suggest a7riii or a7r iv? i woudn't want to pay that much for a7r iv though.... i shoot landscapes mostly 80% of the time.
Under 1K? XS10 is way over 1K plus a lens and taxes. GX9 (Discontinued) XE4 is over 2K plus a lens and taxes. (Discontinued) XT30II is over 1K plus a lens and taxes. LX100II is 1.3K plus taxes. Title scam.
What about the Nikon Z50? Understandabley theres not so many APS-C lenses for the Nikon Z DX line up, however in my opinion it is a close competitor with the X-S10. I own both of them.
As you wrote, it lacks APS-C lens options, it is generally just trailing A6400. Without IBIS it can't really compete with X-S10, which is why it is not on the list.
@@TheHybridShooter the X-S10 is an absolute bargain of a camera. After using it for two years, with all it's aesthetics, film simulations, great lens selections, portability, I still find myself preferring the ergonomics of the Nikon Z body's and that's what counts over everything for me. However I wouldn't say I'm loyal to any camera brand, I'm excited to see if both Nikon and Fujifilm will release an X-S20 and a Nikon 5 mkii this year?? There is not so much information as of yet.
It has very poor feature set. I would only recommend it if you really want full frame sensor and you are 100% sure that you will stay in Z-mount system. Higher-end APS-C is a better choice otherwise.
As an M50 owner, i feel assaulted 🤣🤣 but most of it is as you put it, the only way to breathe some life into it is by adapting lenses, the M mount is beyond dead and only Sigma and Rokinon put out some interesting glass for it, Canon didn't care. i have 2 native lenses and 4 adapted EF and EF-S lenses, the video that produces is good in color, but yeah, not very sharp. The good thing about the camera is mostly how easy it is to use, the touchscreen and the Menus help you to get things done way faster and with a more intuitive learning curve than with other cameras.
@@TheHybridShooter Yeah, it's just that it is my first real camera, before that i had a Lumix FZ200, i kind of want an RP but it seems very limited as a FF camera, akso, i don't feel safe investing in the RF mount knowing that pretty much all decent glass in this mount will be Canon's glass.
@@Al.j.Vasquez You have a very capable camera that can take outstanding photos. I have never found that changing to "better" or technically superior gear has made me a better photographer. Not at all. The only way I have ever improved my photography is by making improvements to composition, lighting, and my ability to tell stories with my pictures. Enjoy what you've got.
@@TheHybridShooter *I am really sorry but M50 doesn't take outstanding photos in way* No camera is capable of taking outstanding photographs. That is almost entirely a function of the person behind the camera. Also, people took outstanding photos with digital cameras long before there were any with the capabilities of an M50.
I have never used one, so it can't be here. This is not an overall overview of the market just my personal recommendations. I probably should have made that more clear.
Body always requires lenses, and Canon has no really cheap/good ones. And i still own the EOS 7D, great cam, but aweful native lens selection. (Sigma 30mm1.4, Canon 60mmF2.8, Tokina 11-18mmF2.8) Fool me once Canon ... Sony/Fuji mount is open.
I absolutely disagree with your take on DSLR. Buying into DSLR is a very practical choice for photographers even in 2023. Especially a Nikon DSLR body with a built-in AF motor, because of the incredible selection of Legacy glass in the F Mount that now costs less than half the price they used to years ago. DSLR is not obsolete in any way other than the camera industry. There is a beauty to shooting through an optical viewfinder that presents the scene you’re composing through an unmediated reflection of light. It’s philosophically more connective and delivers a more present shooting experience than an EVF which can be distracting for hobbyists, who wanna take in a scene without any color profile biases or without the VR experience of shooting through an EVF. The ergonomics of a DSLR are still unmatched by most Mirrorless, the battery life is significantly better, and Mirrorless optics with electronically coupled focus rings cannot replace mechanically coupled autofocus ring systems. Although I think Mirrorless cameras are a better choice in most cases for paid photographers doing work for clients, I still think DSLR’s are a wonderful option for those who want a more analog experience without going all the way to shooting film.
The discussion about the obsolescence of DSLRs has been decisively concluded back in 2018, there is no point in discussing that 5 years later. Live view is a much better choice for beginners who are used to smartphone photography, optical viewfinder is a much less user-friendly technology, they won't be impressed by not seeing actual exposure. It has no benefits for newcomers. There is no point in learning how to use dead technology in 2023.
@@TheHybridShooter I agree. The hobbyist who wants analogue feel of DSLR would actually pay more for it even if the prices were opposite. Just like people into film these days are more intentionally interested as opposed to economics making sense. The exception as noted elsewhere is in emerging markets where prices can be mind boggling.
@@TheHybridShooter Learning how to use old technology, I can agree, is far from useful in the long run. I see where you’re coming from. Perhaps DSLR’s are more desirable to purists who grew up on them. I just purchased a D750 and payed $200 each for a 20mm, 35mm, and an 85mm, all totaling what only a 20mm would cost on sony.. the D750 was only $600 with less than 1k on the shutter. I love using the EVF on my G9 for black and white, but there’s just something about seeing an unmediated representation of the scene I am composing. I take in my surroundings more. Surely it’s a feeling that those who didn’t develop their passion for photography through DSLR’s probably won’t find charm in. I still prefer newer cameras with evf’s, in body image stabilization and faster burst rates for in-hand HDR bracketing for work situations and efficiency in shooting, but I think every photography purist who started on DSLR should never stop owning one to return to for that warm feeling of a more analog shooting experience. I understand why you’d tell people to avoid them in this video though, because the majority of those watching aren’t seeking a nostalgia trip, and are instead most likely looking for the most practical and capable camera, and in that case I agree DSLR’s technological strengths don’t beat mirrorless strengths. Much love
@heysavnac I am talking specifically about entry-level DSLRs which would only be purchased by beginners. If you are a long term DSLR user and you think that you know what you are doing, sure, go ahead and buy one....
I would seriously recommend the Nikon Z APSC cameras, they are very good, great uncropped 4k video, great 1080 120, great photos even in JPEG and wonderful ‘useability’ and ergonomics together with very good low light performance. For example, I prefer to Z30 to the ZV E10. The only downside to the Nikon is the lack of crop sensor lenses from Nikon but you can now get the wonderful Viltrox and Sigma primes, and 35 min recording limit in 4k 30 but I never shoot for that length of time and no S Log but at this budget level most won’t care. Nikon though don’t have all the RUclipsrs signed up to test and with freebies so the cameras get overlooked which is a shame as they are wonderful. The Z30 is a fantastic useable true hybrid shooter, and the in built mic is the best on any camera at any price (ZV E1 may give it a run for the money).
The lack of APS-C lenses for Nikon Z-mount, together with the size of the Z-mount, which is not very suitable for APS-C, are the main reasons why I definitely recommend Sony alternatives instead and why Nikon Z-mount APS-C cameras are not on the list. Sony also has significantly better autofocus, Fuji has better sensors and offers IBIS below $1000.
If you mainly want to shoot video and you willing to spend a bit more, instead of a G9,, you can get a gh5 ii for 1300 usd new or 1100 second hand and get the 4k 60p 10 bits All-Intra and 6k :4:3
@@TheHybridShooter That is true. This exercise is to limit the spending to $1000 or less. Spending a little bit more means a video about cameras from $1500 to $1000. I own several of these bodies and they work better than OK. I’m not in the market for new gear. My new mantra is good enough is good enough. As an amateur I don’t need the best gear.

I totally disagree, at least if you’re only interested in photography and especially if you’re just starting out. DSLRs are really cheap. You can get a quality one for under 100. The glass is super cheap so you can buy a bunch of different lenses to see what focal lengths you prefer. If you end up not liking photography as much as you thought you’re only in for a couple of hundred dollars. Then if you decide later to get a more expensive camera you have an idea of what you like and what kind of lenses you like. A ten year old camera can take just about as good a photo as a newer one.

Everybody is used to smartphone photography with live view nowadays. DSLR is not a user-friendly technology. It would just confuse people who are used to smartphones.
Choosing a DSLR actually greatly increases the chance that a newcomer will end up not liking photography. Not to mention that most newcomers are not interested only in photography.
Recommending a DLSR to a newcomer is simply a terrible advice.
@@amermeleitor Yeah, the lack of super-cheap used mirrorless cameras can be an issue in emerging markets, I don't really know what I would recommend in that case.
Agree 1000% with Panasonic G9. Been using it for about a year now with 2 Olympus Pro Lenses (8-25mm F4, 40-150mm F4). Results are stellar!! Shooting Raw with DXO PhotoLab Elite is like getting a whole new Sensor for the G9 - amazing!! Shooting landscape. I still have my Nikon D850 which I use for birds.
I looked back at some RAW's from my G7 I took in 2017 recently and don't really understand why I sold it - beautiful even through lightroom on auto. I would imagine the G9 with the bigger sensor must produce some lovely images.
good camera until iso 1000)
@@sovu9399not good after iso 1000?
Is dxo photo lab a setting in the camera?
How is the video recording
I like how your profile pic still has the a6500 and the Sigma 19mm f2.8. Very simple combo and a joy to use.
Yeah, that was the first camera and lens that I bought when I started this channel. Great piece of a gear back in 2017 :)
@@TheHybridShooter Yes! Great piece of equipment even today.
@@Kunal0915 I wouldn't say so, A6500 had a lot of issue, it was a work in progress. 19mm had major focusing issues.
Thank you for this video. The Panasonic G9 was one of my favorite cameras of all time. If they ever came out with a G9 II with a modern BSI sensor I’d buy one immediately. I’m losing hope though.
Thoughts on the G9ii? 😊 No bsi but...
great picks honestly, I agree with them, I've been wanting to snatch an X-E4 but prices are very high lately and its nice to watch a video where someone talks the truth about the HIGHLY OVERRATED Canon M50, its a super popular camera for "beginners" here on youtube for some reason and its really bad, it is not a camera I ever recommended or would ever recommend at this point.
I bought a G9 like 2 years ago and have never looked back. Glad you also still use it with the 10-25. Me too 😊
As always…..top shelf content here!!! ✌🏻😎📷📷📷📷📷📷📷📷
Thank you!
The G95 can be had for about the same price as the G85 in the used market, with a lens(es), and also has unlimited recording, unlike the G9, so it is still great for a amateur or family camera system.
I have to say that as long as im watching your reviews ..... i need to visit Bratislava one day :) . Really nice!
Thank you, it is worth visiting.
especially visit the "lunik 9" quarter, it's amazing
Still using a G85 in 2023
RIP DSLRs and EOS M series
EOS-M is more capable as an overall system than the R7, R10 or R50... with next to no native lenses, I'd say you're wrong the EOS-M cameras will be around for some time still
@@thetoyota86perspective54 Both EOS M and APS-C RF systems are a joke compared do E-mount, X-mount and even M43.
I still use my old 600d
Thanks for being correct about the EOS M cameras, especially the M50. There is a cult following for these cameras which I have never been able to understand and which can only be explained by overcompensation for buyer's remorse.
My pleasure!
There is a cult following because it is a great camera. It is still overall better value than any of Canons current R series crop cameras. There are enough lenses to cover any need you may have. It's AF is still excellent in 2023 (dual pixel AF shits on Panasonic or Fuji).
It sounds like you've never used one, typical armchair expert 😉
@thetoyota86perspective54 I have used one, it is still the worst camera that I have ever tested. M50 video quality is so poor that it doesn't really matter whether it is in focus or not. He is completely right. M50 is joke, much like the cult that follows it.
I got a sony a6400 in 2021 and I'm really happy that is still considered a good option for 2023 standards. Back in 2021, I wasn't sure if get this camera was the right option due to the constant rumors of sony a7000 series that we didn't seen yet.
If you could recommend one.. beetween panasonic gx9/or g90 or g85, and sony 6400?
I'm looking for an affordable system but their price didn't go down at all... should we wait and hold to buy later?

In 2024 what would you get. Fuji XS-20 with 15-45mm lens for 1400 or Panasonic S5 body only for 1000, looking for something hybrid that will last me couple of years.
Great video, as near always!
Two questions:
1) is there any Full Frame near the 1000usd that is recommended? (Canon RP, Nikon Z5, Sony A7II, etc)
2) What do you think about Nikon lineup and the future of the brand?
Thank a lot!
Thank you!
1. Not really. The only advantage would be that would already have FF lenses to use when you upgrade to a more capable. Crop cameras are generally a better choice at that price point otherwise.
2. I don't really know, they are basically just trying to stay close enough to Sony at this point.
buy an old full frame dslr
@@wayzsy Bad choice, very bad choice unless one has owned a DSLR already, if not, it's such a regression.
@@Al.j.Vasquez why bad choice? D810 is better experience than anything before a7 III or canon r6, r5. If you're lucky for a price of good brand new apsc body you'll have good dslr, good zoom and prime or two.
It took a7 IV for me to swap from d850/d810 to mirror less (a73 was a draw, why change if you don't get anything). I'll add that I don't do much video, even now since I have a7 iv.
For someone doing strictly photos dslr are not completely dead yet.
@@forthphoto because you would be buying into a dead system which is not being developed. That is a much more expensive option in the long term, because you will inevitably have to switch systems at some point.
I wouldn’t say that DSLR offers a better experience, simply because of the size and weight.
what do you think of the OM EM1 iii and EM1X? The have some great deals.
Unfortunately, I have never used them.
Now Sony A6600 and Fuji XS-10 are about the same price in December 2023. Between the 2?

I`m very happy with my X-S10 (switched from the Canon M6ii 2 years ago).
What about the Sony A7R II? Im thinking of gettin it instade of the A6400
I have a GX85 and I'm considering buying a hybrid second camera, mostly for video. Between the G85 and Sony A6400, which one would you choose? I already have a few Panasonic lenses that would be ready to be paired with the G85 but the PDAF and low light performance of the A6400 seems tempting though I'm not yet sure if it's worth paying more for it over the G85.
Lumix G95/90 nice too
What do you think of the DC-ZS200 vs RX100 VII in terms of photography only, noise, ISO, sharpness, DR.
I have never used DC-ZS200
Still rocking a lumix gh5🤭 I love it, with a Sigma 16mm 1.4 combo. It is pretty amazing actually.
Hey nice video bro! Really good selection of cameras. I would also add Sony A7 mark 2 to the list. Is a very old camera, but it is still in the Sony catalog under $1000
Very good choices. One question though. If you need a camera around 1000 usd only for photography, no videography at all, which one would you recommend?
Thank you! All of the cameras on the list are relevant for for photography only use, so it still depends on your preferences.
@@TheHybridShooter I have found a brand new Nikon Z5 selling for 1050-1100 USD in one of the local shops in my area. What do you think about that camera? I intend on shooting mostly still subjects. So, I don't need the best autofocus tracking.
@TobiasRieperGood lol, D200 might actually be the worst possible advice. There are literally dozens of cameras that are better. D200 belongs to the museum.

Very good video !! I just have one question. Is a Sony RX 100 m4 camera for $200 a good option in 2023? I would appreciate your response, thank you very much in advance

What are your thoughts on the Olympus E-M5 mkiii?
I have never used one, so I can't answer that.
Brilliant video as always , man
Thank you!
And what is with the Nikon z5/50 both are excellent beginners cameras, done 70k pictures and a lot of video with it! Even with the “bad” af you learn when to use which mode, no problems at all for 80% of my use cases 😅
Still using my GX9 - tempted by the X-E4 though
Gx9 has a horrible low iso performance. In the same conditions g80 would produce much cleaner pictures.
@@ChocoLater1 Absolutely not true. You will get slightly less noise with newer 20 MP M43 sensor (after downsampling, obviously).
i vote zv e10 for best camera
Any successor of Sony Aspc?
And what about xs20?
Great video. I think Sony APS-C are the best choice, cause if you then want to upgrade to full frame, then you may have already some lenses (unless you buy only APS-C ones).
If ZV-E10 got EVF it will be best of them all. Without EVF it's the best studio YT camera IMHO.
Thank you! Yes, but realistically, Sony APS-C users are rarely buying FF lenses. No EVF on ZV-E10 is the correct choice, as it helps keep the price down. You can get A6400 if you need EVF.
@@TheHybridShooter You do not have some focal lengths as APS-C for e-mount (like 135mm or 70-200mm). I got Sony APS-C for 3years+ and some of my lenses were full frame anyway, but at the end of the APS-C journey I knew I'm gonna get A7IV, so my lenses were purchased in this in mind.
And actually lately some APS-C lenses can be sold for more they original cost was (lately for example 16mm and 56mm of Sigma trio - at least in my country) 30mm is now very cheap though.
What I mean about ZV-E10 having EVF, it will be better photo camera. Now it's excellent video entry level Sony, but lack of EVF kinda annoying for photos.
For video I will prefer ZV-E10, especially any YT related video, since it got this product showcase mode which A6400 is missing.
Although for vertical content A6400/A6600 is better because it's screen is visible on both portrait and vertical mode, while ZV-E10 screen hides behind the tripod in vertical mode :D.
It's a good value proposition to go APS-C and to get Samyang FF primes, i.e.: 18, 35, 75 (or 24, 45, depending on ideal focal ranges for personal use case). Keeps form factor small, price down and switching to FF easy. Maybe one APS-C like the Samyang 12 f2 to cover ultrawide. If Tamron release a G2 of the full frame 28-200 with optical stabilization it'd be a dream lens for APS-C.
Hi,
what do you guys recommend coming from a Canon 750D? The Panasonic Lumix GX9 or G110 seems to be a good and compact package.
Would be happy if some of you can share their opinion.

I have made a video about that ruclips.net/video/v21WYYlSK3E/видео.html
My Canon M6 mark ii is leagues better than my iPhone 14 pro. It’s not even close. You would have to spend more than $5,000 on a full frame Canon RF body and L-series RF lens to notice a difference over the M6 mark ii and one of the Canon or Sigma f/1.4 lenses.
@@stonewp nonsense.
@@TheHybridShooter Pick one up to test and get the ef-m 32mm f/1.4 or any of the Sigma f/1.4 lenses. You can spend $2700 on a full frame R series body and another $2300 on an L series RF prime and the difference will be barely noticeable. The iPhone 14 pro is not even close.
@@stonewp You can spend $1599 on Sony A7 III + $350 on any budget Samyang prime lens and it will destroy the M6 II. You will see a lot of difference even with APS-C cameras with Sony made sensors, due to their vastly superior DR.
Not to mention horrible quality of 4K video, which is actually heavily pixel binnined 3K video upscaled to 4K.
Comparisons with iPhone 14 Pro are complicated due to 48 MP ProRAW mode which will actually give a lot of dedicated cameras “run for their money”.
Hi.just curious, have you tested the flagship Canon EOS m6II compared to the M50?
No, heavily pixel binned 3K that the M6 II upscales to 4K is another joke from Canon that I am not willing to test.
The M6ii is an awesome compact camera… I would say better than any of the cameras on this list and nearly equivalent to Canon’s latest aps-c R7 release.
@Walker Stone Absolutely not.

I love the a6400.
Damn!! I was getting Canon EOS R50 for shooting stills and cardistry videos, i thought canon was THE best brand. So no canon at all is your opinion? Im total newbie with cameras ...
Canon has been abusing their market position for many years by selling sub-par cameras to people who are invested in Canon system or think that it is THE best brand by default, IMO. R50 has no in-body image stabilization, which is a must-have feature in 2023, so I definitely don't recommend buying one.

@@TheHybridShooter Yeah thought so too about sony. Did not know R6 4K is cropped, thnx for info. Is any model in your video full frame?
Fairly good breakdown and comparison, yet I am rather curious, as you gave a rather favorable review of the G90/95 camera, by itself, but dismissed it here in this comparison.

I am looking into m4/3 options, and debating with myself for months should I get the G9 or EM-1, EM-5, OM1,OM5, or go the full frame route. I am 100% into Photography and think a more compact lens system with solid quality lenses is benefit. FF looks to be heavy and large.
No particular reason, I simply preferred Panasonic cameras when I was M43 user, mostly due to their superior video capabilities and better value. The compactness of M43 gear can be deceiving, especially if you take the equivalence into account.
@@TheHybridShooter In my country (Serbia), Panasonic is easier to get, definitely, and that is strange, but Olympus has good quality, that is why I am overthinking, and with the S5 as a ff option has almost the same price, makes me think am I going to get better quality glass and more options, with Olympus or Panasonic/Leica combo vs the generic, yet solid, ff Panasonic or Sigma glass which is about 30%-60% more expensive, most of the time.
@@ivanshix FF is cheaper and lighter than m43 equivalents. Just look at something like the Panasonic 10-25mm f/1.7 vs the Sony 20-70mm f/4. $1700 vs $900, Sony has longer range and I think it is lighter too? If you want FF results on smaller sensors, you may end up paying more than FF itself.
@Shariq Ahmed🌎💙 You equivalence is slightly more false. 10-25mm f1.7 is F3.4 equivalent, so closer to F4 than to F2.8 (almost in the middle). There are numerous reasons to use F4 lenses on FF cameras - higher resolution, superior dynamic rage, more detail due to lower pixel density and so on... Heavy a bulky FF is a myth as I have explained numerous times on this channel.
Except when you go to ultra zoom arena. M43 wins if size matters to you.

Buying a good, used dslr is a good idea for someone wanting to learn photography.
No, it is the worst thing that a beginner can do.
Show me a mirrorless camera system that is $100 each. $ per DSLR insane value for 24MP sensor and pro glass. Nikon 3300 with 17-50 2.8
There are good reasons why DSLRs are not worth more… it is a trap, you are getting solid output but horrible usability and unnecessary learning curve.
Where to find X-S10 under 1k USD? X-E4 is an excellent but unfortunately this camera is non-existent lol. Always out-of-stock. I would like to purchase a fuji camera but their availability and price in my country is unreliable.
There is a link to amazon in the description where it is $999.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks. I have checked it but unfortunately the total cost is around1700usd to ship here. I also checked the X-E4 in your link and as expected it is "currently unavailable".
EU MSRP is 1049 EUR, so you should be able to find it around that price in most authorised shops.
X-E4 has been discontinued by Fuji
Just a technical note: Unlike the G80 the G90 can be charged and powered using USB, has unlimited video recording (which even the G9 doesn't have), 120p slow motion, and came in set with the 14-140 II. And unlike the G9 it's got a fill flash, live view composite, and is more compact, and has slightly different ergonomics. The sum of these things could be valuable enough for some to consider it.
As for the LX100 (II or not, doesn't matter) - whilst the aperture range of that lens is good, it's not the sharpest lens by any measure.
Edit: I said the G80, not G85. Hybrid Shooter just deleted my response politely pointing out this inaccuracy 🤣
G85 has unlimited recording. Much smaller 4K crop on the G85 trumps all of the G95 advantages IMO, G9 is a different league.
Pentax k3iii dslr aps-c beats them all, it is even on par with sony a7iii in iso performance. expensive though, much more than 1000$
K3 III is actually the worst camera in that pice category, considering that you buying into a dead syste. It is absolutely not par with A7 III in terms of ISO.
@@TheHybridShooter are you sure? ruclips.net/video/tDH7NUE5YiM/видео.html
@so vu Yes, I am 100% sure. Pentax ambassadors like to spread this misconception a lot. It is caused by the fact that Pentax uses SOS ISO scale, Sony uses REI, which is which is lower by almost a full stop. It is shown here, Fuji also uses SOS: ruclips.net/video/sjui5-gPNqk/видео.html
@so vu There is even my comment underneath that video :)
You should not "try to keep the exposure settings more or less the same". You should use exactly the same shutter speed + aperture and adjust ISO to match Sony exposure (you will have to use higher ISO on Pentax).
Keep in mind that Pentax uses different ISO scale (SOS) than Sony (REI). The difference in actual sensitivity between these scales is about 1 EV, so if the A7 III and K3 III look the same at ISO 6400, it means that Sony is about 1EV cleaner in reality. It is the same thing with Fuji X-T4, which uses the same IMX571 sensor and SOS ISO scale. It also took me some time to find out why X-T4 ISO performance seems to be magically good. Unfortunately, both X-T4 and K3 III are far behind A7 III if we account for ISO scale differences.
@@TheHybridShooter what you just said is above me, I am an amature. but thank you for claryfing this ;), i really wanted to buy k3iii)), i was deciding between k3iii and sony a7riii (they both cost the same). now the k3 is out of my list. would you suggest a7riii or a7r iv? i woudn't want to pay that much for a7r iv though.... i shoot landscapes mostly 80% of the time.

What about the Nikon Z50? Understandabley theres not so many APS-C lenses for the Nikon Z DX line up, however in my opinion it is a close competitor with the X-S10. I own both of them.
As you wrote, it lacks APS-C lens options, it is generally just trailing A6400. Without IBIS it can't really compete with X-S10, which is why it is not on the list.
@@TheHybridShooter the X-S10 is an absolute bargain of a camera. After using it for two years, with all it's aesthetics, film simulations, great lens selections, portability, I still find myself preferring the ergonomics of the Nikon Z body's and that's what counts over everything for me.
However I wouldn't say I'm loyal to any camera brand, I'm excited to see if both Nikon and Fujifilm will release an X-S20 and a Nikon 5 mkii this year?? There is not so much information as of yet.
@Martin Cooper Sure, that's completely fine. What I wrote is just my explanation why it is not on the list, since that is what you asked.
what about a nikon z5 ? the fujis are very expensive in my country , z5 is cheaper by like $100
It has very poor feature set. I would only recommend it if you really want full frame sensor and you are 100% sure that you will stay in Z-mount system. Higher-end APS-C is a better choice otherwise.
And if all I have is 600$?
Save up $97 dollars and get G85 with 12-60mm kit lens.
As an M50 owner, i feel assaulted 🤣🤣 but most of it is as you put it, the only way to breathe some life into it is by adapting lenses, the M mount is beyond dead and only Sigma and Rokinon put out some interesting glass for it, Canon didn't care. i have 2 native lenses and 4 adapted EF and EF-S lenses, the video that produces is good in color, but yeah, not very sharp. The good thing about the camera is mostly how easy it is to use, the touchscreen and the Menus help you to get things done way faster and with a more intuitive learning curve than with other cameras.
Well, it is just a camera... there is not need to take it personally. I actually bought one as well, but fortunately, I sold it very quickly :)
@@TheHybridShooter Yeah, it's just that it is my first real camera, before that i had a Lumix FZ200, i kind of want an RP but it seems very limited as a FF camera, akso, i don't feel safe investing in the RF mount knowing that pretty much all decent glass in this mount will be Canon's glass.
@@Al.j.Vasquez You have a very capable camera that can take outstanding photos. I have never found that changing to "better" or technically superior gear has made me a better photographer. Not at all. The only way I have ever improved my photography is by making improvements to composition, lighting, and my ability to tell stories with my pictures. Enjoy what you've got.
@sl7293 Oh no, I tough that we got rid of these generic "gear doesn't make you a better photographer" comments back in 2016.
@@TheHybridShooter *I am really sorry but M50 doesn't take outstanding photos in way* No camera is capable of taking outstanding photographs. That is almost entirely a function of the person behind the camera. Also, people took outstanding photos with digital cameras long before there were any with the capabilities of an M50.
Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV should be there...
I have never used one, so it can't be here. This is not an overall overview of the market just my personal recommendations. I probably should have made that more clear.
How about the newly released canon eos r10? It is also under $1000
Both X-S10 and A6400 are much better options due to miserable DR and other weaknesses of the R10.
There's not a single decent lens for APS-C on the RF system now. Until Canon has a line-up like Fuji, it's pointless to buy the RF APS-C bodies.
Body always requires lenses, and Canon has no really cheap/good ones. And i still own the EOS 7D, great cam, but aweful native lens selection. (Sigma 30mm1.4, Canon 60mmF2.8, Tokina 11-18mmF2.8) Fool me once Canon ... Sony/Fuji mount is open.
Sony APSC especially A6400 needs an update, and i hope they came with new UI like ZV-E1
All budget friendly lines need an update. Current state of market favors more expensive, so that is where the R&D money goes.

Canon sucks!
Why
Actually g85 the real video camera, unlimited recording and weather seald body.
The rest won't even last.
I absolutely disagree with your take on DSLR. Buying into DSLR is a very practical choice for photographers even in 2023. Especially a Nikon DSLR body with a built-in AF motor, because of the incredible selection of Legacy glass in the F Mount that now costs less than half the price they used to years ago. DSLR is not obsolete in any way other than the camera industry. There is a beauty to shooting through an optical viewfinder that presents the scene you’re composing through an unmediated reflection of light. It’s philosophically more connective and delivers a more present shooting experience than an EVF which can be distracting for hobbyists, who wanna take in a scene without any color profile biases or without the VR experience of shooting through an EVF. The ergonomics of a DSLR are still unmatched by most Mirrorless, the battery life is significantly better, and Mirrorless optics with electronically coupled focus rings cannot replace mechanically coupled autofocus ring systems. Although I think Mirrorless cameras are a better choice in most cases for paid photographers doing work for clients, I still think DSLR’s are a wonderful option for those who want a more analog experience without going all the way to shooting film.
The discussion about the obsolescence of DSLRs has been decisively concluded back in 2018, there is no point in discussing that 5 years later. Live view is a much better choice for beginners who are used to smartphone photography, optical viewfinder is a much less user-friendly technology, they won't be impressed by not seeing actual exposure. It has no benefits for newcomers. There is no point in learning how to use dead technology in 2023.
@@TheHybridShooter I agree. The hobbyist who wants analogue feel of DSLR would actually pay more for it even if the prices were opposite. Just like people into film these days are more intentionally interested as opposed to economics making sense.
The exception as noted elsewhere is in emerging markets where prices can be mind boggling.
@@TheHybridShooter Learning how to use old technology, I can agree, is far from useful in the long run. I see where you’re coming from. Perhaps DSLR’s are more desirable to purists who grew up on them. I just purchased a D750 and payed $200 each for a 20mm, 35mm, and an 85mm, all totaling what only a 20mm would cost on sony.. the D750 was only $600 with less than 1k on the shutter. I love using the EVF on my G9 for black and white, but there’s just something about seeing an unmediated representation of the scene I am composing. I take in my surroundings more. Surely it’s a feeling that those who didn’t develop their passion for photography through DSLR’s probably won’t find charm in. I still prefer newer cameras with evf’s, in body image stabilization and faster burst rates for in-hand HDR bracketing for work situations and efficiency in shooting, but I think every photography purist who started on DSLR should never stop owning one to return to for that warm feeling of a more analog shooting experience. I understand why you’d tell people to avoid them in this video though, because the majority of those watching aren’t seeking a nostalgia trip, and are instead most likely looking for the most practical and capable camera, and in that case I agree DSLR’s technological strengths don’t beat mirrorless strengths. Much love
@heysavnac I am talking specifically about entry-level DSLRs which would only be purchased by beginners. If you are a long term DSLR user and you think that you know what you are doing, sure, go ahead and buy one....
I would seriously recommend the Nikon Z APSC cameras, they are very good, great uncropped 4k video, great 1080 120, great photos even in JPEG and wonderful ‘useability’ and ergonomics together with very good low light performance. For example, I prefer to Z30 to the ZV E10. The only downside to the Nikon is the lack of crop sensor lenses from Nikon but you can now get the wonderful Viltrox and Sigma primes, and 35 min recording limit in 4k 30 but I never shoot for that length of time and no S Log but at this budget level most won’t care. Nikon though don’t have all the RUclipsrs signed up to test and with freebies so the cameras get overlooked which is a shame as they are wonderful. The Z30 is a fantastic useable true hybrid shooter, and the in built mic is the best on any camera at any price (ZV E1 may give it a run for the money).
The lack of APS-C lenses for Nikon Z-mount, together with the size of the Z-mount, which is not very suitable for APS-C, are the main reasons why I definitely recommend Sony alternatives instead and why Nikon Z-mount APS-C cameras are not on the list. Sony also has significantly better autofocus, Fuji has better sensors and offers IBIS below $1000.
first
Not this time, sorry :)
@@TheHybridShooter :p
What about canon R10?
Both X-S10 and A6400 are much better options due to the sub-par sensor with miserable DR in the R10.
Basically Canon became a huge money trap, the only good cameras they have are insanely expensive and they even blocked 3rd party lens support
Nikon z50
If you mainly want to shoot video and you willing to spend a bit more, instead of a G9,, you can get a gh5 ii for 1300 usd new or 1100 second hand and get the 4k 60p 10 bits All-Intra and 6k :4:3
You can always spend a bit more and get something better… the point of this video is how not to spend a bit more.
@@TheHybridShooter That is true. This exercise is to limit the spending to $1000 or less. Spending a little bit more means a video about cameras from $1500 to $1000.
I own several of these bodies and they work better than OK. I’m not in the market for new gear. My new mantra is good enough is good enough. As an amateur I don’t need the best gear. The question to ask is will you be happy with the results you get with the gear you have? Do you need a feature like IBIS? I don’t use it very much but love it.

ZV-E10 is none BSI sensor? :o. I'm shocked.
I would be shocked if it was BSI as that price point.
@@TheHybridShooter I guess I've heard in some review it's the same sensor as in A6400 and A6600 and reviewer said it's BSI. Maybe I just lived this wrong impression it is. Maybe it's not even BSI in 6400/6600.
It is the same sensor. A6x00 series cameras have never used BSI sensors.
@@TheHybridShooter You learn something new everyday :D. I guess someone said it's BSI and I haven't checked.
Anyway it's kinda good sensor. Only missing thing is 10bit video :(.
Where's camera all in one?
I don’t understand your question.
@@TheHybridShooter I guess he try to ask you why you didn't test bridge cameras :P
In that case, I don't want to understand that question :)
Forgot canon rp
No, I didn't. RP doesn't belong on any list with "best" in the title.
@@TheHybridShooter lol. As someone who owns 12 different lumix cameras, I can say it’s been a good entry into full frame land and I’ve used it on on the video, but it is not without its shortcomings obviously
@Ryland Russell lol. In that case, feel free to make your own list. As someone who has tested at least 50 cameras from various manufacturers over the past 5 years, I can say that it is the second worst camera that I have ever tested. RP is not getting anywhere near my "best cameras...." lists.
@@TheHybridShooter fair enough. Wasn’t trying to be a jerk, was just driving while listening thus the short comment. Appreciate your videos been watching for a long time.
Sure, no problem.
Who sponsors you... Panasonic and sony maybe....
What about Fujifilm?
Sadly missing are Canon R50 and R10
Didn't make it on the list due to extremely poor RF APS-C lens selection and other weaknesses.
