    that list makes no sense. The A7 III and the A6000 are the best sold sony e-mount cameras how can they be so low? And of course all the "S" cameras are the most expensive and newest one.
    What's the point of classifying older cameras if the old ones are all rated poorly anyway.

      I’m rating them in their ecosystem. If you watch my channel I have nothing but high praise for both of those. You should watch some of my full length reviews! I really do love both a lot, but just because one is best selling doesn’t mean it’s S tier. Also did you watch this video? I talked SO highly of the A7iii 😂🙌 all love fam.

    • @KikujiroChan
      @KikujiroChan 7 месяцев назад +1

      @@kraigpruett exactly and that's the reason this list doesn't make any sense. In your list all current cameras are the best, oh yes what a surprise. What you are evaluating here is not the camera at the time of release but rather the development by Sony over the years.
      An example would be the Sony a7r II. The camera had the biggest impact to date in the E-mount and with the competition. First E-Mount Camera with IBIS, with the new much better AF and the legendary 42.5mp BSI Sensor and you put that thing in the "c" category.
      At the same time you put the a7cR in the "s" catergory. What is so special about that thing? It's nothing but a worse version of the a7rV and a7r IV.
      The problem is that you chose too many categories that overlap with each other.
      If you want to find the best basketball player of all you don't compare 40 years old lebron against 61 years old michael jordan. What you do is to compare both players at their best and what they achieved in their particular time.

    • @19MCE
      @19MCE 21 день назад

      Read the title. It's about the BEST not the BEST-SELLING or MOST POPULAR cameras. A7iii and A6000 are amazing but they get rightfully outperformed by the newer ones. There is no shame in that, they are great cameras but would you rank A6000 as high as A6700? No, you wouldn't.

    The only thing I'm questioning is the R5/CR in S tier. The color reproduction in higher iso ranges falls off significantly compared to the 33mp sensor in the 7IV/CII

    • @kraigpruett
      @kraigpruett  7 месяцев назад

      That’s fair! After using the A7RV though, the sensor performance is absolutely outstanding from ISO 100-6400, like mind blowing image quality. It’s just hard to compete with it, but sure because of the crazy high MP count it struggles at higher ISO, especially for video. But it’s kind of the S tier dedicated high MP photo camera.

  • @mackenziespillane628

    Where would you say an iPhone 14 Pro falls in this lineup? I’ve been watching all your videos trying to decide on a Sony for great video and photos for potential vlogging (switching from Canon potentially), but also wanting to make sure it’s better than sticking with my phone. Obviously lenses and zoom ability make all the difference as the pro is useless once you leave 1x. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!!

    I sold my a6100 for the a6300 because the later is better for video due to S-LOG/Cine. The a6100 just couldnt flex like i wanted with video. I use it more than my BMPCC 4K lol. I think you should have separated these into photography and video/cinema categories because its kind of discrediting picture profiles and its huge benefit. I waisted around $500 extra for the a6100 compared to the a6300 due to similar list like this back when researching hybrid cameras. So many reviews from wedding photographers seemed to ignore those profiles which was odd considering thats what separated the a6300/a6500 from the a6000, a6100 and NEX series.

    IMHO the a7R III is way better than the A7 III in more way and now on used market it is even better for the price. The only thing the a7III beat it is the AF, I may be wrong though.
    And the A7R II is not good compared to the III (af, battery, features, IQ, color science)
    Same for the A7R IV, better that the A7 III in may ways

    I called out just about all of these rankings so I don't really disagree for the most. Being a cinematographer the only thing I'd slightly disagree with is the FX3 FX6 and A7Siii placements. The FX3 is pretty much the same camera as the A7Siii with a few differences. Yes it is better for cinematographers in my opinion, but I wouldn't put it a whole level down lol. Also the FX6 definitely shouldn't be on the same level as the FX3 let alone under it given that the FX3 is a baby FX6. This thing literally blows some of the most popular lower budget cimema cameras out of the water. I get the main reasoning is price, but surprisingly it costs less than the A1 lol.

    • @eli90s13
      @eli90s13 7 месяцев назад +1

      This list literally is 98% where I would put everything though lol. I was also really surprised with the placement of the ZV-E1 which is my personal favorite non cinema line camera on the list. I too would have put it at A since in my opinion feature wise it's better than both the a7Siii and the FX3, but body wise it's not really fit for professional cinematography until you rig it up. I predict the next FX camera is going to just be the ZV-E1 with an FX3 body and global shutter.
