I have the Camera for almost 3years now and I haven't got into details on how capable it is on a lot of things and never thought a lot of people still use it, and I feel like it's just a low end camera gear so I badly wanted/needed to have those expensive gears without appreciating this one... anyways, thanks so much again, new sub here 💙😊

    MP4 is the file type wrapper for XAVCS so your files appearing as MP4 on your PC is correct. I think it's like this to improve compatibility.

    I'm using Streamyard to actually record all my podcasts (not necessarily live stream) . I have the basic pro plan at $25/per month so can only record at 720p. Do you think having a good Sony DSLR with that Sigma 16mm lens or something else really good is even worth the investment if you can only shoot 720p as opposed to using using an iPhone as an upgraded webcam? At 720p, is the quality of a DSLR better enough over an iPhone to justify spending the money?

  • @ArronPrescott

    @ArronPrescott

    2 жыл бұрын

    If this will be the only thing you use the camera for, a dedicated camera may be overkill. With a quality lens on a camera like the a5100, your 720p video will look very good and better than a phone. But I'm not sure the difference would be worth the cost.
