    I have a7iii for over 4 years now.. its very solid camera and im making my first movie with it.. the stabilaton is not that great but i put cage , monitor and matte box so it will be much better handheld the way..

    Thanks for rhe video. I have been using a7iii for few years now, and I need a second camera for my events since I'm a hybrid shooter. I'm considering both the a74, and the a7R4, both almost cost the same in my local market. Which one do you think will be great choice for someone like me.

    I don't think the mountains and hills (or the tasks involved in videography for that matter) have changed much in six years, or even ten, so a six-year-old camera should be able to handle them.

    • @MattyDCCollins
      @MattyDCCollins  6 месяцев назад +1

      I got you. Tech moves fast but I guess not that fast. It was definitely cool to see how we don’t need 10 bit colour and the newest sensors to achieve amazing results. It’s all part of gear acquisition syndrome and being able to just be happy with the camera we have :)

      It would make for a great travel camera and your lens is very important for low light quality so get a lens that is f 1.4 or f1.8 that will help with both low light photos and videos but if you have the money for the a7iv it’s even better in low light for video because of the dual native iso
