I'm half way through your vid. I agree with your frustrations regarding Canon, but I've also had frustrations with Sony. I've gone down this rabbit hole myself A TON. When the R5 and A7S III came out... I got both (absurd, I know) which actually turned out to be a useful and interesting investment. For those that don't know, you can get indefinite record times out of the Canon R5 if you record externally (e.g. Ninja Atomos or OBS). I believe you can record 8K externally. I've used my R5 for 12+ hours live streams in full frame 4K60 and have shot for hours at a time in 4K FINE recording to OBS. What causes overheating when recording internally is 8K and 4K FINE mode, which downsamples from the entire 8K sensor. People think their only choice is to then use 4K line skip to get around overheating... but this is only the case if you hate crop mode. Crop mode has no line skipping and actually yields a beautiful image. And you get most of that crop loss back with a speed booster. What this means is you can record internally without ANY overheating on the R5 in nearly full frame (visually) if you are comfortable with crop mode. Regarding Sony... it honestly took me a long time to appreciate my camera. Now I use it regularly. My biggest frustration with it is the inability to fully customize the wheels and dials to my liking so upon startup, it's already set (which oddly enough, the A74 gives you). Everytime I fire up the camera, I have to hit the custom dials button to activate my preferences. I've also seen my A7S III overheat multiple times when recording to both cards in a warm room. Update... At 18 min now. A74 is a fantastic camera. Haven't noticed the rolling shutter issue yet, the LCD is a nicer looking than the A7S III and I love that you can turn it on and the custom dials are already set without having to push a "custom dials mode" button. I agree with your thought process in deciding to purchase the A74. That being said, I've seen KZitemrs challenge pro photographers about comparison images between the Sony A1 and Sony A7S III and often times, the A7S III won or they couldn't see a difference. And the limitations of Sony touchscreens bug me to no end.

Getting both is definitely the best way to find what's best. I did rent a few different bodies before purchasing, and that helped A TON. Thanks for adding this perspective, it's incredibly helpful. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I haven't had frustrations with custom buttons and dials so far on any of the models. I spent an inordinate amount of time setting everything up when I got the cameras, but since then they keep the custom settings stored right away, which has been really nice.

@@tombuck the specific arrangement I like is the rear wheel to be aperture, top rear dial to be ISO and the front dial to be shutter speed. I can only seem to activate this specific preference once the a7s III is on and I hit my “custom dials” button which is assigned to the trash icon. On the a7 IV, there is no limitation with how you customize the dials and they even let you customize what has traditionally been the exposure dial. I vainly hope Sony will update the Sony a7s III to give users the same flexibility as the a7 IV. But I doubt it will happen.

I agree with things you said.. I love the idea of staying with canon and having their RF Lens ( the RF L lenses are great and better lens than GM IMO) but eventually I went the SONY route because of its video capabilities.. and although sony is far from perfect but the FX3 giving me decent image and colors.. My only gripe would be it 12MP sensor which very limiting for photos that’s why I’m opted with FX3 instead of A7S iii.. looking forward to get a7 iv as my photo camera.. Great video Tom!

The 12mp is a tricky one. It's part of what makes those cameras so great for video, but definitely leaves you feeling limited for photo. A big reason I got the a7IV too was so that I'd have a solid hybrid option and it works really well for that. It's been super fun!

The great thing about this video was the focus on the recording limit. When I first started doing videos with a DSLR instead of a dedicated camcorder I was using a friends Canon. I didn't know about the record limit.... until is shut off during a part of a video podcast recording. It became very frustrating because I also became over aware of the time instead of the content. Then I got ahold of a test version of the FX3 and fell in love! Don't regret purchasing one at all! (My picture is me with the FX3 - I call her FoX-E)

for studio setups i would go Panasonic box cameras because they have PoE (power over ethernet) basically meaning you have 1 wire going to the camera and you can monitor and configure the cameras from a PC, also they are doing a lot for streaming over IP so you don't need capture cards or video mixers plus they can record in the camera and they are very tiny. but i liked your video just saying this so you can go down a rabbit hole and learn new things if you didn't know. For me for fixed camera setups having easy power, data and monitoring is a thing i value a lot, like you said in the beginning to each their own. I also prefer sony over canon and think for video they are currently really amazing with the readout speeds of their sensors.

Another great one Tom! I had about $1,300 to spend on a new camera at the end of 2021, and literally after months and months of research, I bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max as my main camera and couldn’t be happier. I know it’s the absolute least camera geek choice, but for me who films in multiple situations from a controlled studio, to outdoor car spotting, and also skateboarding, the iPhone just checked so many boxes in terms of quality, easy of use, and compatibility with my Mac and FCPX. and since I have an iPhone 12 already as a phone, boom, I suddenly have 2 cameras that are usable if needed. Hopefully some of the major brands can make a mirrorless that has some serious computational elements, wifi and a seem-less app/interface for about $1000 all-in lens included and maybe even some internal memory. If not I feel like more and more young creators will just get iPhones. Especially since they’re getting better and better every year. And you can usually finance them very easily these days. It’s a wild time for content creation! Keep it up Tom!

Interesting video. I've tried Sony and stuck with Canon and am quite happy with the R5 (firmware 1.6 eliminated most overheating issues). Perhaps if I was just starting out, I would go Sony, but justifying the time, effort and financial write down to sell an inventory of high quality Canon EF L lenses in order to switch brands is pretty hard to justify in this day and time. The capability of modern cameras by Canon, Sony, Nikon, etc. are all pretty good these days and they tend to leap frog each other as technology marches onward. In my view, of you don't own a lot of lenses or if money, time and effort don't matter to you, then it is fine to change brands constantly. Anyway, nice video of your reasoning.

As a former Nikon shooter, who switched TO Canon, it never ceases to amaze me that anyone other than new shooters who have no clue as to how to control light or really control a camera, would switch to Sony. I LOVED the darker broody color of Nikon and I love the vibrance of the Canon. I have had several Sonys (really hoping it would be a great system), and although the Sony autofocus is one of the best, the images are super sharp almsot to a "to digital looking point" to my eye, and the A1 is one of the most customizable cameras on the market, they lack one of the most important things about photography...... color; It is lacking. The R is a starter mirrorless like the M series or the old Nikon J series or the early Sony As.. You should have bought the R5 or even the R6 - both are two of the most amazing cameras I have used. At some point in the future, Sony may be a great system if the find where their color is, but as of now..... no way - and again. I have owned 5 Sony's, rented a couple of others and no thank you. And Nikon even with the Z9 is just too far behind with the tech and that is why I switched to Canon. I did in fact, use a Sony for ONE wedding ...... ONCE. . Good luck and welcome to the world of Sony hype. I wish I was the only one that was of the mind that Sony has no color but I am not. I just happened to find that for myself editing photos and relizing that I was pushing my saturation and vibrance past where it should be to give the photos life. And although I do on occasion upsize 1080 for one or two clips to 4K, it is not the same - it just is not. One other thing about record limit - it has to do with import fees and being sold as a stills camera or video camera. Differnt tax rates.

You've definitely got to go with what works for you! Canon has earned a reputation for great color for a reason.

I've heard the "overly digital" comment on Sony's image quality before, but for whatever reason, I like it.

Canon's lenses are WAY more expensive and once I saw Sony's third party support for lenses, I had to switch. I thought about buying the A1 but like I said, I'm not a professional and decided to get the A7IV with some quality lenses instead (Sony 35mm G Master, Sigma 85mm 1.4, Sigma 24-70 2.8). I mainly shoot pictures but I might get a secondary video camera. Not sure if I should get the A7SIII or the FX3.

Hi Tom. Love your channel. I've been watching you for several months now as I start to learn about podcasting/streaming. In the past few months I've purchased a RodeCaster Pro2 + an ATEM Mini Pro with some other gear. My 2 main cameras are SONY handycams (FDR AX33 & AX53), with plans to upgrade ASAP. Anyway, the DSLR I had for ~ 14 yrs is a Canon 40D (still shots only), but the 2 FILM cameras I had for many years (before I went to digital) were the Minolta 5000i & 9000i, plus a bunch of lenses etc. FYI, before SONY entered the DSLR/Mirrorless camera world, they bought out Minolta (Konica) around 2006. The Minolta/Konica business also made medical optical equipment, photocopiers etc. Anyway, technology is wonderful - but very expensive and what I've found is most people buy these cameras not to take pictures, but mostly for KZitem and TicTok footage.

Interesting video! Our channel uses the Canon eos R. Recording on the MacBook pro with the R does give you unlimited recording time, connected to mains via a dummy battery. Thats the whole reason that we specifically chose the canon eos R for! Of course we do not have your needs and budget and do not wish to go anywhere near 4k for the time. What did you do with all for the lenses? Metabones adapter? If a channel is filming in 1080, we personally do not think that the R can be surpassed in terms of performance to value.

I only wish Sony would be faster in their firmware update and larger in giving more as far as functions sometimes Sony’s logic does not work where you have cheaper camera that will have more functions than an expensive one .that’s the only thing I would like Sony to change mentality wise .

Very cool bro. The Sony 7sIII wasn’t available at the time I was ready to upgrade from my canon 6dMII, so I ended up getting a Sony A7C.

Sony never "clicked" with me until the a7SIII, and I think there are a lot of different things combined within that camera that helped to make it something I love using. But I also know lots of people who use the a7SIII as their main camera and the a7C as their B camera and get great results 🤷🏻♂️

Canon lenses are fine if you spend the money for L glass but as a hobbyist photographer buying Lots of L glass was out of the question. Sony, on the other hand, makes some fabulous mid priced, and even lower priced, lenses that surpass the Canon mid priced lenses. And then there is the size. Canon stuff just seems overly huge compared to Sony. A Canon camera and two or three L lenses required the purchase of a Tenba backpack whereas I can fit the same Sony equivalent in a Peak Design mid-sized everyday sling bag. Great video. Thank you.

I just sold my A7RIII (coming from Canon Eos R, and 15 years of Canon). I had in mind to upgrade to A7 IV, but now I am torn to not do it. I am thinking to buy the Canon R6 II. The reason is shutter fails on many users, also at only 20k actuations. I can't justify to pay so much money to one product that I stay with that fear in mind. It is unacceptable for Sony that they continue to use the same shutter from A7 III also in A7 IV.

The thing with battery life is that you can shoot 8 bit 420 4k video forever on the A7 iii and A7R iii. But now all the latest Sony cameras shoot 10 bit 422 which consumes more power + oversampling for the A7IV. I've noticed my battery is the worst for A7IV, a little bit better on A7Siii and much longer on older A7iii & A7Riii.

I love the conclusion of you can't buy a bad camera nowadays. Can you believe how much that statement didn't ring true before 2014? I imagine back then that hesitancy was simply due to the lack of options and legacy, but now skepticism and paradox of choice is what makes all of us consumers mad with GAS. In todays time, new camera releases are equal parts enthralling and enraging. The OM-1 got announced a couple of days ago, which lead me to spend an hour making up quotes to figure out how much it'll cost me to make a system switch, then I spent the following hour telling myself to go and take a hike. At the end of the day, all I care about is shooting and having a good time, and I can still have that with what I have, surprisingly. Sometimes, I think, "What are todays version of the T2i and T3i? What about the 60D or 7D?" Which is interesting not only in terms of having a standard set by old cameras to fall back on, but how it was Canon that set that standard for me. It's a shame that the RF system took a while to gain its footing, especially since its still receiving some backlash with its newer releases. I'm hopeful for them though, the release of the affordable 16mm and 100-400mm is a compelling factor that keeps me with a watchful eye. In general, I'm particularly interested in the future of the camera market, and specifically how characteristics of "affordability" and "mid-range" seems to be visibly evolving. This was a great video to stir up some conversation.

It sounds like you've taken super good care of everything, but I've seen a lot of wear and tear put on ports when cameras are used with different people and/or crews, and Micro HDMI is typically one of the first to go.

@@tombuck ah, yeah… you need to use the screw-in mount support; they’re pretty flimsy, and you have to take care when taking them in and out. Micro isn’t my favorite but getting the R5 was far more worth getting with micro than not getting because of it.
