💡 I'll also discuss the importance of considering your use case when selecting a camera. Do you really need a dedicated camera, or is your smartphone sufficient for capturing those precious moments?
🔍 After extensive research, I initially considered Canon and Sony options, including the Sony ZV-1, known for its compact size and impressive 4K quality. But as my skills evolved, I yearned for more control and better quality, leading me to explore full-frame options.
💭 Delving into the full-frame realm, I considered the Canon EOS R6 Mark II, but concerns about compatibility and functionality for videos pushed me back to Sony. The vast lens selection and third-party options drew me further into the Sony full-frame range.
🎥 Join me as I navigate through the Sony A7 series, A7R series, and A7S series, each offering unique features tailored to different needs in photography and videography.
