Body design wise both the cameras are completely different, the one is a Hybrid Mirrorless camera and the other one is a Cinema camera with excessive mount threads over it. So, they are very different from each other specifically if we talk about the design difference of both cameras.
But, does the Price difference: We have a good price difference between the two cameras. the Sony FX30 is more affordable, but the big question us does the Sony A7S 3 camera deserve the high price we are paying off
Perspective: Our perspective is to find out the Bets video | Cinema camera OR camera for content creators. We are not considering the photographic features of any of these two cameras.

1. Sensor
The Sony A7S 3 camera features a full-size sensor made to record 4k high-quality videos. During the time time of the A7S series camera development, the only intention of the Sony R&D team member was to create such a camera that neither goes into sub-sampling nor oversampling so the heat dissipation will be very less and users will get a high-quality 4k video.
The Sony FX30 camera features a newly developed 26 MP BSI CMOS sensor., the sensor does oversample to create 4K files and of course, due to its APS-C size we have to face some limited low -Light performance

As you can see the video resolution of the Sony A7s3 camera is more than perfect compared to the video resolution of the Sony FX30 camera. The FX30 camera does have a significant amount of crop when ur recording videos at the 4K 60dfps mode. The Sony A7S 3 also has a 1.1 X crop factor that remains mostly unnoticeable.
Sony FX3 will capture more details in Studio Light
While working with the base ISO range in FX3, we will surely have the extra resolution advantage of the FX3 camera. So, if you are working with lights u will have more details in the 26 MP oversampled 4k file compared to a 12MP 4k file. At the same time, the advantage is limited to its base ISO range.
3. Low-Light Performance

Sony A7s3 with its massive DUal Native ISO range (as well std and expandable) will give you more clean and more neat video output in a low-light situation compared to the Sony FX30 camera.

4. Image Stabilization
Both of these Sony cameras feature a 5.5-stop effective 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system. Additionally, we also have gyro-based image stabilization.
5. Video Codecs
Video codecs are similar, the good thing is being a Sony camera we are allowed to record videos in IPB format and ALL-I Intra format [XAVC-S, XAVC-HS, and XAVC S-I]. Both of them record 10 BIT 4:2:2 videos internally either you are recording it in 4K 120fps mode or in 4K 24fps mode.
When You should buy Sony FX30 camera
We can clearly see the Sony A7S 3 camera’s low-light performance is better, but it is not a cinema camera hence missing our features like the Timecode functionality, Custom user LUT upload function, Focus MAP, and Breathing compensation. These are the extra set of features we have in our FX30 camera. If ur looking for a true cinema camera under budget then FX30 is the best option in front of you.
When You should buy Sony A7S3 camera
If budget isn’t an issue neither is the type of device or use, undoubtedly the Sony A7S3 will give you cleaner output in low light. If you want to have an excellent low-light performing cinema camera like Sony A7S 3 then you have to invest in Sony FX3.

Let’s compare the Sony FX30 camera with the Sony A7 IV camera. Do share your thoughts with us
Design-wise
Design-wise Sony A74 is more inclined towards photographers, with a LARGE handgrip design and a high res 3.6Millionb dot EVF, you easily able to shoot your subjects. The FX30 is made for cinematographers, look at the number of mounting threads we have on the FX30 body.

Sony A7 IV is a Hybrid Camera and more Photography Oriented
The Sony A74 advantage
With the Sony A74 camera we are getting Sony’s latest 33MP Fullframe sensor. Undoubtedly with a full-frame sensor-based camera, you will get better results while shooting your subjects than with an APS-C sensor.
More for Photographers
Dynamic Range graph of Sony A74 – DR Boost at ISO 400 – Sony Fullframe cameras do carry a Dual Native ISO circuit for photography too… but Sony never talks about that officially.
The A7IV has a dual-gain for photos at ISO 400. So ISO 400 has more DR and should have slightly better noise than ISO 320 and ISO 250. ISO 250 is very close…just slightly below ISO 400. The only ISO to avoid is ISO 320
Via test when came to know about the boost for still photography. In the video as per a few expert’s options, the Boost is available @ ISO 1600 in A7 IV.
Less Rolling shutter with Mechanical Shutter
Sony A7 4 camera features a mechanical shutter and a TOP speed of 10 FPS, while ur using your camera in burst mode if u have mechanical shutter ON you will comparatively faceless rolling shutter than a camera that only uses an electronic shutter. either way, the Sony A7 IV is the best camera when we talk about shooting still subjects.

Sony FX30 is a Video Camera from the inside out
If we talk about the body desing of the FX30 camera which include ehnaced telly light, timecode input ports & dedicated fan for cooling camera body, if we talk about the Tile based Menu system that directly arrived from FX9 or FX3, Up to 16 user-created LUTs, Timecode funcintlaity or Quick Exposuer index mode for boosting up the perfomance of the Sony FX30 while shooting log or with S-Cinetone.
Even if they share the same codec range
XAVC HS, which uses HEVC/H.265 encoding to retain more detail at smaller bitrates, and XAVC S-I, which is an intraframe codec for consistent performance and quality.
X-AVC HS (H.265 Long GOP)
X-AVC I (H.264 All-I)
X-AVC S (H.264 Long GOP)
It also highlights the key difference between what we now call Long GOP compression (smaller files, potentially lower quality) and All-Intra, or All-I compression (larger files, potentially better quality)

Two base ISO options are available for FX30 also as you can see in the table above, for low or high sensitivity. Choose a base ISO to suit the scene you are shooting.
Log shooting can be divided into three methods: “Flexible ISO,” “Cine EI,” and “Cine EI Quick.”

Since there are a lot of cameras out there with almost similar core specifications. So, we have written this article in such a way to clear all your confusion related to the cameras you want to buy.
1. Sony A74 – Best Hybrid Mirrorless camera Under $3000
Sony A7 4 is an excellent camera. When the camera was announced it was having a serve overheating issue. We have quickly figured out that with the use of fast cards the camera overheating can be prevented. So if anyone here is interested in getting Sony A7 4 camera and concerned over its overheating issue then you don’t have to worry you have to buy just these cards to prevent the overheating of your camera.
Specs-wise the Sony A74 camera is a class-leading camera with a 33 MP BSI CMOS sensor. The camera captures more detail compared to Nikon Z6 marks 2 camera or the canon R6 camera which roughly falls in the same price range.

What Canon users say about Sony A7 iV
Sony A7IV after regular use of my Canon DSLRs. The A7IV is portable, lightweight and versatile, allowing me to move from taking stunning photos to recording video content for my clients which range from fashion to hospitality. Moving from photo to video shooting is smooth and does not break my workflow. I get to focus on capturing the moments. The kit is fantastic as-is, but I also purchased a 50mm 1.8 lens which I’ve been accustomed to shooting with. All in all, I would highly recommend the purchase if you’re in the market for a mirrorless camera.
What Nikon users say About Sony A7 IV
Coming from Nikon after 18 years it’s been a hard learning curve but worth every penny! Yes, the kit lens people say is a joke but it is what it is.I have made it work for studio work and am happy. Not a prime but it works. The camera is something else! Studio work, outdoors, birds, and sports it has done what I want and lots better. I am coming from a long line of Nikon cameras with the latest being the d750 and d850.
Top alternatives Sony AIV
Canon R6
Get Canon R6 instead of A7 IV only when
- You are a sports shooter
- You need a far better body IS
- You already have Canon Lenses
|
Nikon Z6 Mark II
Get Nikon Z6 Mark II instead of A7 IV only when
- You need a budget Fullframe setup
|
2. Canon R6 – Best Canon full-frame camera Under $3000
Canon R6 camera features a continuous shooting speed of 20 frames per second and in a single burst, you can save up to 1000 frames of Jpeg or 240 raw files which is more than enough for a sports shooter. At the same time to support handheld shooting the camera features 8 stops of IBIS support. The Canon R6 camera also features 1000+ AF zones so the tracking of the camera is exceptionally well. If we combine all the above features, then for sure Canon R6 is a perfect companion for shooting sports and wildlife photography.
Canon R6 is an excellent camera in its price range (Under $3000 with kit). Although sensor resolution is limited to 20 megapixels and the sensor is also a conventional CMOS sensor, not even a BSI. That’s why many professional photographers who have been using Canon for decades are hesitating to get this camera at this price point.
At the same time, the Canon EOS R5 camera is costly and Canon EOS R camera is completely outdated, so the only option we have under the $3000 price range is the Canon R6 right now.
Being said that Canon is still the best option for Sports shooters and wildlife photographers.
User feedback – Sherko
The low light capabilities of this camera is just out of this world. I am getting perfectly usable photos at 8000ISO!!!!!!
User feeback- Tou – Nikon Z6 Mark II user tries the Canon R6
I’ve had the Nikon z5 for over a year and half and it was time to upgrade as I needed better video and AF. I thought about the Nikon Z6ii, but having to carry two different cards and still subpar auto focus, I decided look into the R6. Although it is much pricier than the Nz6ii, so far I am loving it. As of this review, I’ve had it for 3 days and it is amazing. Love the AF, the IBIS for video and low light performance. Could not be happier with this purchase.
Top Alternatives of Canon R6
If we talk about budget alternatives then we have two options
Nikon Z6 Mark II
For wedding shooters, Nikon Z6 Mark II is a better option when paired with Nikkor 28-75mm F2.8 Lens |
Canon R7
Canon R7 is an excellent option against the Canon R6 camera if you are a sports shooter or a wildlife photographer. You will have the crop advantage as well as Canon R3 AF tracking system inside the Canon R7. |
3. Nikon Z6 Mark II – Best Nikon full-frame camera Under $2500
Nikon Z6 mark II is an excellent camera for wedding photographers and wedding cinematographers. Either you can pick this camera with 24-70 F4 Lens which is also available as the kit or you can also add some extra bucks to purchase the amazing candid lens, the Nikkor 28 to 75 f2.8.
Pictures are sharp and clear with amazingly good pics even at 6400 ISO. Even the 27-7 F4 kit lens is surprisingly sharp. The 5 axis IS is a welcome addition. The camera is a perfect camera and its price range and no one can replace the Z6 mark 2 camera with its features
Nikon Z6 Mark II camera is a perfect camera for those who are looking for a perfect full-frame solution under budget at the same time the Z-Mount is almost open we are having lenses from Tamron as well as Viltrox and in near future, we do expect to get more options from third party lens maker’s.
User feedback – Jason – Nikon Z6 Mark II with 24-70 F4 Lens
The camera produces great images. Built ruggedly and takes everything a pro can throw at it. The 5 axis IS is a welcome addition. While not having the opportunity (yet) to fully test the kens, initial impressions are that in a very lightweight body, the lens produces sharp and contrasty images with nice bokeh.

4. Sony A7C – Best Sony Fullframe under $2000
Sony started a new line of consumer cinema cameras with the Sony A7C, you can record high-quality 4K videos for your YouTube channel even if you are a beginner then this camera is useful to you. It’s very light, film amazing at night and I like its retro style looking.
Can photographers buy the A7C? – Yes, if you were interested in the Sony A7 III camera and at the same time, u don’t have the budget of the Sony A74. Then the best option right now is to go with the Sony A7C.
The only issue I have faced while using the Sony A7C camera is its old user interface. otherwise, it’s an excellent budget full-frame mirrorless camera from Sony.

6. Best Fullframe Camera under $1500
Nikon Z5 is a budget full-frame camera that features a 24-megapixel FX sensor paired with expeed 6 image processor and you will also get 5 axis image stabilization system with the camera. It’s an excellent camera to capture images with a high amount of detail and amazing dynamic range. The low light performance of the sensor is also very good compared to the APS-C cameras we have in the same price range.
If you are a photographer and looking for a quality output then under $1500 Z5 is the best option.
The downside of the Nikon Z5 camera is the video part, the camera is able to record full HD videos without any issues but in 4K you have to face an excessive crop.
At the same time don’t expect autofocus tracking performance similar to Canon or sony. If you love to have better autofocus tracking performance in Nikon then either you can go with the Nikon z50 or Nikon Z6 mark 2. But, being said that, under $1500 price range the Nikon Z5 is still an excellent option for photographers out there.
Alternative of Nikon Z5
Nikon Z50
Nikon Z50 is an excellent alternative to the Nikon Z5 camera since it gives the almost same level of low-light performance that you will get from the Nikon Z5 with improved AF tracking performance. |

7. Fuji X-S10 for Fuji Lovers – Best Fuji Camera Under $1500
If you love to buy a Fuji camera then Fuji X-S10 is also a good option. With the Fuji X-S10 camera, you’re getting a 26MP BSI CMOS sensor and brust speed up to 30fps. The camera is also able to record you DCI 4k oversampled video recording with IBIS (sensor-shift image stabilization) and in Small, light, great grip, IBIS, same image quality as the X-T4 at a bargain price.. The handgrip is great. The battery life is too short. Overall – The x-s10 is a great camera for photographers as well as vloggers. For an instant video shoot for documentarists, it is great.
At the same time, I have to mention that don’t expect AF performance similar to Sony A6400 or Canon R10, for that level of AF performance in Fuji you have to buy Fuji X-H2S.
Best alternatives
Nikon Z50
If you want to have a better low-light performing camera than the Fuji X-S10, then the only option we have after is the Nikon Z50 camera. |
Sony ZV-E10
If you want to get a better vlogging camera, with gyro-based IS, a bit more option for APS-C lenses, and amazing eye tracking performance then go with the Sony ZV-E10. |
8. Canon R10 – The fastest Mirrorless in its class
Canon R10 is also a very good APS-C mirrorless for still and video purposes. The camera pair of 24-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensors with canon’s fastest Digic x image processor.
With the help of both, you are able to grab continuous frames up to 23 FPS with full-time autofocus support, and the R10 camera records video up to 4K 60 FPS and oversamples 4K videos up to 30 FPS
The Canon R10 is one of the first cameras to provide a 10-bit internal recording in the same price range. The only downside of Canon are 10 camera is its low light performance, the camera needs a studio light set up to give the best output possible
Best alternatives
Nikon Z50
Nikon Z50 AF tracking isn’t as fast as Canon R10, but you will get better low light performance then the Canon R10 camera which makes Z50 a perfect option for the uncontrolled low-light environment |
Sony ZV-E10
If you want to get a better vlogging camera, with gyro-based IS, a bit more option for APS-C lenses, and amazing eye tracking performance then go with the Sony ZV-E10. |
9. Sony ZV-E10 & Sony A6400 – Best Sony’s Under budget
In the 9th place, we have two cameras. If you are into photography and wedding cinematography, then the best option for you is the Sony a6400 camera. The camera features a perfect grip for photographers, a weather-sealed body for durability, and EVF for semi-pro photographers.
And if you want to have the most advanced vlogging camera under budget then undoubtedly the Sony ZV-E10 is the best option right now. The camera features the most advanced set of core specs that a vlogging camera may have in that price range. Excellent face-tracking autofocus for VLOG applications. Has an earphone jack to monitor sound. Outstanding image quality. (Using a 24 MP sensor for 4K creates very sharp images. Sensors are Sony’s strong suit.) It does not overheat.
No alternatives to ZV-E10 in terms of price range and specification.
Sony A6400 Alternative
Nikon Z50 is a perfect alternative to the Sony A6400 camera with a weather-sealed body and excellent low light performing sensor. And amazing support of Viltrox lenses. |

10. Nikon Z50 and Nikon Z30 – The Best budget DUO from Nikon
Nikon z50 is an excellent option for those who are looking perfect camera for uncontrolled light conditions. When you are not in your set or studio and mostly you are interested in Street photography or anywhere when you don’t carry or have professional lights with you the Nikon z50 will outperform all the other cameras of the same price range. If I have to sum up the Z50 in a few words I will say “This a great camera. Light weight and produces amazingly clear shots.”
Nikon Z30 is the same Nikon z50 camera with up-scaled video specifications and without a viewfinder to save the production line cost. If you want to have a perfect low-light vlogging camera then Z30 is the best option under budget. Due to a slightly lower resolution, the rolling shutter effect is also less compared to other competitors.
We have no alternatives for Nikon Z50 at its price range since it’s an excellent lowlight performing camera
Nikon Z30 alternative
the only best alternative to the Nikon Z30 is the Sony ZV-E10. |

The Nikkor Z 17-28mm F2.8 will be available ‘in late October 2022’ for an MSRP of $1,200.

NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8
Capture the Big Picture with Nikon’s Latest Affordable f/2.8 Zoom Lens
MELVILLE, NY (September 20, 2022) Nikon Inc. has announced the NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8, the latest addition to the growing selection of extremely-capable and very affordable f/2.8 zoom lenses. This new full-frame lens combines the versatility of an ultra-wide angle of field view with the benefits of large fixed aperture, putting low light performance and gorgeous bokeh within reach.
“The amount of NIKKOR Z lenses continues to increase at a rapid pace, giving all kinds of creators mirrorless lenses built with the latest in optical innovation,” said Jay Vannatter, Executive Vice President, Nikon Inc. “The new NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 is derived from the same mutual concept as the recent NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, establishing a series of affordable zooms that open a gateway to fast-aperture performance and absolute versatility.”
The NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 is a lens for storytellers, captivating the viewer with vast landscapes, grand interiors or enveloping their senses with the starry night sky. The combination of the ultra-wide angle perspective and bright constant f/2.8 aperture liberates the creator, turning everyday scenes into impressive images and videos that grab the viewers’ attention or establish the scene. This wide aperture not only enhances the lens’ low light performance, but also creates a gorgeous out-of-focus area to make the subject pop. Scenes that were previously difficult to photograph are easier than ever to capture in vibrant detail, such as a packed dance floor at a wedding reception or a backlit subject within a cityscape.
The new NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 is ready to go anywhere. This extremely lightweight and portable lens weighs in at only 450 g (15.9 oz), which is approximately 30% lighter than the NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8. It’s also lighter and more compact than the NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 lens, and uses a 67mm threaded mount for circular polarizers or neutral density filters. The lens’ minimal weight and internal zooming make it easy to pack or carry anywhere, and create an ideal partner for gimbals since the balance of the lens never changes.
The lens is constructed for creators who aren’t afraid to go off the beaten path in pursuit of their content. The entire lens is sealed to prevent entry of dust and water droplets¹, while the front element features an antifouling coating which makes it easy to wipe away dirt, smudges and fingerprints. The NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 puts an emphasis on sharpness, utilizing an optical formula that employs a Super ED glass element for maximum image quality at all focal lengths.
Autofocus speed is blazing fast, thanks to the use of a high-speed stepping motor (STM), working seamlessly with Nikon Z mirrorless cameras to acquire critical focus on faces and eyes within the frame. The STM is also nearly silent, significantly reducing drive noise during video recording. Video content creators will especially appreciate the minimized focus breathing and click-less control ring for smooth exposure transitions. For additional versatility in photos and video, minimum focus distance is a mere 7.56 inches (0.19 m)², letting users get close-up for products and beauty shots with a magnificently blurred background.
Pricing and Availability
The new NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 will be available in late October 2022 for a suggested retail price of $1,199.95*. For more information about the latest Nikon products, including other NIKKOR Z lenses and the entire collection of Z series cameras, please visit nikonusa.com.
