A7CII is a better buy over-sampled 7k but u need to deal with Rolling shutter. A7CII also overheats but not as much.

8:14 The Cannon Cripple Hammer scenes always crack me up. 😂

I have to admit the blackmagic pocket cam with the Pannyboy Leica 25mm was looking glorious.

Coming from cine cameras like the Panasonic GH5s, Zcam E2, BMPCC4k. The Nikon Z30 is the best camera I have ever used. Gets me the shoot 100% of the time with none of the struggle. Nobody notices 1080p exported as 4k, but my storage and editing speed thanks me. I put the Nikon back to back with the other cameras once in a while and I always prefer the Nikon look at 1/5 the file size. I just hope the next model is 10bit.

I've been really happy with the ZV-E1. I was worried about overheating when some of the early reviews came out; however, I have yet to have a heat warning pop up on mine even when shooting in 4k120 for several minutes in direct sunlight in Florida. I don't think I'd trust it if I were filming for an hour or two straight, but for less than 30 minute clips, it has been flawless for me.

Yeah, and its fun to see from the future some 'leaked news' or 'predictions' (as a joke in Kasey stile I usually wanna say " I'll predict yor mom, vlogger"). Sometimes I cry from Toneh reviews where specs are no near real ))

love that opening shot.. great composition.. love the stone wall..

The EOS R in 4K with the stabe off looked great (I love it when you use the R outside as well as studio shots). Therefore, I would choose the R8 as the sweet spot - however, I also have a fair few EF lenses to begin with.

DJI did it with the Pocket 3. Hard to beat for KZreadrs.

I was really looking for you to come back on the left side after you walked off screen 😂😂 💯⚜️

This episode was informative AND entertaining. You are a genius.

colors in that opening shot look fantastic

Love your work. The beard-pinching sweater is brilliant. The Canon hammer is brilliant. Keep up the great work, sending positive energy from Sweden :-)

This first frame is awesome Casey

Bought a powerbank for fast charging for the R8. Works like a Charme, but in 4K it’s overheating after about 1 hour. It’s still really good and the image is spot on. So that’s my choice for video, mail cam is the R7 though, love it, not the best but I get the bests results with it. Thanks for the vid, was fun 🙏🏻

Thumbs up for S-Cinetone. Seems to be pretty forgiving 😁

Get the Zf, it's glorious. 28mm and 40mm lenses are old school element counts too!

Hello Kasey, follower from Nigeria. I love love your content, always lifts my spirit. I like how you roast photographers, even when I'm a full time photographer. One of the first videos of yours i saw had you dissing a photographer (can't recollect accurately) I just got the R8, still in transit to me though. And I'm very excited fo own my first real camera since resigning from my 9-5 to start photography in 2019. I was really hoping you'd give a deep dive to the R8, but seeing this has validated my choice. Thanks.

I'm glad you brought three crameras for this video!

i was more laughing than listening :-) Great Video again! Regards from Germany were we have even bigger castles and a better sweater.

I just got the Sony ZV-E1 after using Canon for past several years with external battery (r5c) and cages etc. Sony lens and body options are amazing.

Ha! You got me good with the line about flipping my mom around….😅

I have gone through soooo many cameras In the last year. My sweet spot is actually the zv-e1 for the image and ease of use on the go. For image quality I kept the bmpcc4K. BTW it has both auto focus and auto exposure, however limited. Af is single af and auto exposure can use iris and shutter. On or the other or both at the same time with one having priority. I wouldn’t really use it for anything serious but you can fire it up to set exposure and switch it if again to lock it. C200 in raw was a massive letdown. Trying to pull anything from the shadows would end up in disaster.

I know you love slow mo and for your use case I do find it funny when you use it. But for most people making youtube videos I feel like the S5 ii hits all the boxes yes it crops in 4k60 but for the money it's hard to argue against since it does everything else so well.

A bit much to take all in. It used to be the big5 : Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Nikon and Fuji, would have been nice to break it down over the course of a week. But now with DJI, Black Magic and Go Pro, you could make it into a whole series! You should come back on the Osmo, there’s some people out there promoting it as the "One Man Studio" cam, it would be nice if you could go a little more in-depth.

No love for Canon R3? Only three cripple hammer dents that I've found: No built in RF flash control, No focus breathing correction, No audio recording at 120fps.

ZV-E1 is honestly my best purchase in 2023. This little camera with a 20 f1.8 keeps on delivering.

The R still be lookin good. R6ii is the sweet spot tho for sure for professionals with the dual card

So of all of those, seems overall it’s probably the ZV-E1 that’s the sweet spot? - tiny, 4k60 no crop, 4k120 minimal crop, AI autofocus, new colour science, all the features like loading luts, false colour, etc etc. I’m so excited about this camera, seems in a league of its own. Shitty LCD and no viewfinder but using an iPad as a monitor works surprisingly well.

BEST KZread VIDEO EVER MADE!

Awesome background

From canon i would say the rp because i got it for only 500€ open box and paired with the new 28mm 2.8 its pretty compact ! My second camera is the om system om-5 which is beautiful,compact,c4k the only problem is that doesn't have usb type c connection

beautifully rule of framing'd

Z30 really tempting

Yep agreed with the Om/Olympus slowmo frame rate forced over contrast, over saturated bullshit. Still dont understand why they do that but it NEEDS to be fixed

Love my zv-e1. Let me send it to you to borrow for a review. Fwiw, I still prefer active stabe over dynamic active for most scenarios.

My vote. Panny g9 ii. But I like their colors

a6700 sweet spot. Best sony APS-C sensor, 10 bit, 4k/120p, IBIS, EVF, lightweight, nice grip, best AF for $1400. FF is too big setup and too heavy and too expensive. On sony APS-C i have 70-350 super lightweight telephoto, cheap and lightweight prime 1.4 lenses, and so much choice in lenses.

Recently received the OM5 and I'm blown away how many extra features and options have been added that no one mentions. Not only does it have auto ISO in M for video it allows exposure compensation which I had seen somewhere claim it did not. It does. It even has real slow motion now that records in which ever profile you have set, both flat and Om log. I was bummed when noticed they took away video switch on the FN lever option (Edit: actually it does allow Lever2 position as Video Mode, but I kinda like this new workflow anyway), but they have actually just implemented the video mode custom button options in a better way, now allowing the FN lever to be flicked to "2" in video mode which makes the f and r dials into volume control and exp comp. This thing is mint!

Hi Kasey, loving the daily videos. I have a question about computer monitors. I currently have a pretty nice 24" Dell UltraSharp monitor that's served me well for almost a decade, but it's only 1080p and non-HDR. I'm still happy with it, as my Canon RP outputs 1080p video footage in 8bit so that's all I need. But I'm about to get a GoPro which does 4k/5.3k in 10bit. How important is it to upgrade to a 4k HDR monitor? Or can I save a few hundred dollars and remain in blissful ignorance of how good 4k looks? And also: how about a 1440p monitor? Would that be a good compromise between resolution and price? Or do you think that with 4k footage I would absolutely need a 4k monitor?

@joelbeets

4k is nice but we are in the early stages of the OLED revolution. Contrast and colors that blow away mini LED technology. Liquid light. The problem is that OLED screens start at around 43” and get larger. My recommendation, though you didn’t ask for it, is to wait until there is a smaller, less expensive OLED screen in a few years. I want to upgrade my IPad but I’m waiting for an OLED version.

I've been watching all your work for the last 5 months and you are a treasure. 7 months ago in a piece "Dear KZreadrs: You're Not a Movie" you mentioned the Panasonic G85. I bought a used G95 two weeks ago for $600 and have already spent $1500 on 4 lenses, ND, Black Mist, and Glimmer Glass. I am quite pleased with everything and feel I was able to make these good decisions mostly due to your tireless work, experience, and insight. So I am curious why you only mentioned the Panasonic S5II and G9II in this piece.

I recently bought the R8, best camera ever! But yes, you need a second battery.

why hello mister castle flower, nice having you on the show

R8, just walk around with strap of 10 batteries like Rambo

What lens for vlogging on ZV-E1? 11mm APS-C one? or 10kg Viltrox 16mm F1.8? Anything longer will make vlogging impossible (with all these dynamic stabilization crops).

The pro-mist greasy haze really does not compliment Sony's flatter dynamic range at all. I feel like I'm watching you from inside a plastic bottle. 😂 The Zeiss 3D pop is coming in strong at 5.6 though. I kind of like it better. It gives finer edge detail. 😮

Do you wonder if any of your YT videos have ever made it to a boardroom screen at Sony or Canon? I would bet they have. Hari Kari is not a person hanging out in airports passing out flowers!

Canon stole the show.. so when we started with the RED One.. we thought.. oh , do we really need 2k or 4k.. isn't 1080p enough... lol,, well.. i swore 2k was sufficient... but think of the old monitors we used.. now with a 5k iMac.., 4k feels like a must to me.. and I actually prefer 6k at this point if optional.. but now,, I can safely say.., I would never need anymore resolution than 6k.. latitude and color science is where its at honestly.. but yeah, 1080p just ain't doing it for me these days..

So... you dare to omit Pentax? :D

I hear rumors of a Lumix G100 mk 2. I don't know if that will be a thing and don't really believe rumors usually, but I was thinking about it and that would kick ass with phase detect... Though if it doesn't have IBIS like the mk 1, I dunno.

I use canon 90d crop sensor I know it sounds weird to you, but I really enjoy using it

For me, R8 is a no go. Too little battery life, not enough stabilization. ZVE1 is also a no go, because i want that view finder. If it at least had a crisp screen, then I would consider it, but sadly it has a potato (probably the worst screen of all modern cameras). So it leaves me with either a G9II or a S5II(x). I'll likely go with a latter simply because I don't care too much about slow motion, but I really do want a stellar low light performance.

it does feel like a prerelease or beta release.. hence the hammertime.. they all have shortcomings I feel the frustration that CC is dealing with.. someone mentioned Z8 Z9 thats the wrong use case altogether.. way overkill. The Z30 also feels like an unbaked release.. they are just product cycling.. be patient they said.. the sports action offerings all seem gimmicky at best..

I know you said that nobody needs 6k but i have needed to crop into a shot so much, so many times, and that messes up with the delivery of a 4k end material, which would only matter to someone with a 4k monitor? Also I watched a 6k vs 4k comparison of xs20 footage and you could almost see that there are less digital artifacts on the 6k, but very slightly...

What are your thoughts on the new a9iii? I dont see 6k worth of camera,but what do i know...

My eyes are fixed on that R8. I heard there is a third party battery extension grip for it.

X-H2s when compared to the OM-1 just couldn't hold up for color science and something about the dynamic pop of images. I can't say what it is about the OM-1, but I decided to keep it and return the X-H2s. The added MP was nice, and there was more dynamic range potential. However, in real-world use, I never experienced the extra DR. It was strange. I was surprised. It could have been the lens options limiting me, but there you are again faced with the limitations of Fuji lenses. I'd love it if the OM-1 could shoot 10-bit outside of log, or use a profile that's not just a photo profile. Or at least if it let you customize the photo profile just for video mode. Like why not keep these separate? It's frustrating. I suppose you could customize a photo profile and just use that for video, but it seems an extra step you shouldn't have to take. I notice that 4K is sharpened more than photos in the photo modes used. So you have to dial the sharpness back in photo profiles if you select them for video. I use vivid a lot for landscape and wildlife, but it's too sharp for that purpose. It's 0 point sharpness is much more intense than the 0 point in the "natural" profile.
