I'm not sure how I missed out on using the FX6 but it was a magical first-time encounter with it when I used it this week! I was really impressed with how beautiful the codec looks (it's an actual MXF file and not a long-gop H.265 which I didn't know it had!). In love with the variable ND's as well - makes shooting in any environment a dream, especially if you like shooting wide open at like F1.2. What are some of your favorite aspects of the FX6?
-
Love these images, beautiful captures!
-
One thing I've found out (as I get older, ha) is that it's much harder to do a single-person setup with reliable lighting, focus and composition. I was really impressed with the new ZV-E1 and how (indoors) you can use it to VLOG yourself but I'm curious what everyone else's setup are for YouTube, IG/TT/FB. Do you just use a tripod, camera, and auto-focusing hoping you capture a solid frame or do you tend to hire others or ask friends to help on productions?
-
I'm using it all the time now - LOVE it for macro and landscape work. 4-7 frames seem to be the sweet spot before post-processing gets to be too much.
-
Bayphoto and Nation's Photo Lab are my go-to's as well!

The ZV-E1 just launched and when I first got my hands on it I didn't expect to fall in love with it as I have. If you're an A7S3 or FX3 user you'll basically find yourself with the same camera you've had before BUT there are far more features that make this one even better for video shooters. The new AF tracking, AI recomposition, timelapse mode, product AF mode, and new audio setup make this one heck of a great vlogging camera as well as a B-cam for main unit productions!! What are your thoughts on the new camera?

Welcome, welcome and glad to have you here!! What are some of your favorite landscapes to shoot/paint?
-
Ooooo I'm definitely picking one up! While it lacks some features (like the viewfinder) for an A-Cam this is the PERFECT vlogging/B-cam that pairs identically with the A7S3 and FX3.
-
Great question! Hopefully, there will be a successor if that's what you're looking for. Nothing has been announced or mentioned but it could happen!
-
Oooo that's a new one. Definitely a flaw or a defect, however, I don't believe it would cause anything bad to happen technically (like lack of weather sealing) - just looks off. You can always contact Sony Pro Support though if you're a member and have them look at it.

Hi and welcome!! There are also a ton of events and meet-ups that happen regularly on the different Facebook pages as well; check out https://www.facebook.com/SonyAlphaUniverse

I've been shooting on the A7SIII and A1 for what seems to be the last 2+ years exclusively and I've been using the CFexpress A cards for a lot of my work, but I'm wondering if the CFexpress cards are overkill (since I only really need them when shooting S-I 4k 120p and 1080 240p footage. Does anyone just use regular SD cards for their cameras? And if so, what's the benefit for you?

Sunrises (for me) seem to yield better light/color sometimes over sunsets... but I'm pretty sure they're identical scientifically! LOL
-
Looks like you get to kill 2 birds with 1 stone in that equation!
-
These are fantastic!! Well done mate!
-
The inevitable is happening and we all have to adapt or get left behind, haha.

Q: Likelihood of feature additions in future firmware updates?
Drew_Geraci replied to brockgs's topic in Gear
I'm sure (or at least I hope) at some point Sony will implement a lot of updates for their flagship cameras because it's something that definitely needs to happen. That being said, some of the features you'll find on the newer cameras like the A7RV are only possible because of the additional AI processor which no other Sony camera has yet so those features will only be native to that body for now. -
Looks like frequency banding; likely due to the type of shutter you're using (digital vs mechanical). You'll need to drop the shutter speed below 1/60th of a second to remove them next time too.

Love your shots!! The fox(es) are my favorite.

Had the pleasure of waking up around 30 minutes before sunrise to be greeted by some of the most spectacular colors I've seen in a long time here in Virginia! How many of you are an early bird and how many of you despise waking up early to catch the light? I'm usually a sunset-only kind of guy but I've recently found myself doing the opposite!
-
Welcome to the club and the party! You can't go wrong with any of the a6000 series cameras (if you want a crop sensor) but the A7IV or A7RV might be your best bang for your buck 🙂 Glad you have you!
-
Gummy bears and ear pods are my go-to bag items for backpack trips! Haha.
-
I do C2 on mine; I use the trashcan for touch-operations so I don't mess with it, haha.
-
I want to buy and intervelometer. Which one should I get?
Drew_Geraci replied to CarolineJensen's topic in Photography
JJC is probably the best (cheap) brand to use. I have like 20 of them and they work great, especially for longer intervals 🙂 Hope that helps and apologies for the delay! -
What's your favorite setup for portraits on the go?
Drew_Geraci replied to Drew_Geraci's topic in Photography
Yeah, loving my nanlights too! They're the best!
