At 3:35 I should have said 10% smaller, 20% lighter

NOT the other way around got it flipped sorry :) IT'S SMOLLER OKAY.
Thanks for the correction @ben_chao

One thing I found interesting with the Sony vs Canon thing is that some people don't really know the difference they just want to complain about it.

I got hired to film social media content for a few creators that use Canon only and I use Sony only, so there was about 2 month stretch where all their content was shot on Sony and the comments people left were "See this is why Canon is the best, content is looking great" and "Got to love those Canon Colors", etc.

Can listen to you talk AND SHOW camera stuff all day. Show and tell is so much better than people who just tell and don't show. Great video as always!!
Also while I've never shot Sony, I regularly use regular image straight out of the camera and people love the look. And I only shoot with a cheap nifty 50

Would kill for your color grading process tutorial. Love it.

Great job on the video Sara! Thanks for making it. The lighting in this one is positively dancing in your hair when you're surrounded by the vicious greenery. What a great shot. Well done.

[rrjanik]

loved the camera rant, please more content like that

[JarrodsTech]

I've been considering this one for my FX3. I only have a 24-70 GM II which I use for everything, so I guess do I really need that extra wide angle 😅 at events like CES I have to step back a bit far from things to get shots even at 24mm, so the answer might be yes!

Thank you so much sister for sharing your ideas in this video.

[NARFALICIOUS]

18:56 This is one reason I'm considering switching to Sony or maybe just adding Sony, easier to bring around and carry around vlogging than Canon full frame.

I recently got the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L, it is my current favourite lens to shoot with!

[TristanBurgener]

Really love the outdoor parts of the video!

[holfwaley]

I just love the look of your videos man. Perfect aesthetic

[kathleendarby]

Was just wondering when the next peachy video was when I refresh to see this gold. Thank you!

[ak_hoops]

I clicked this SO quickly. Sara Peachy video usually gets but good choice of title!

[dannytranlx]

I love nerdy lens videos, thanks Sara!

You and Justine are my favorite YouTubers for these kinds of content.

I love Sony. Didn't think I would since I had Canon cameras up until then. But since I bought the a7ii in 2018 I have been really pleased with the colors
Upgraded to the a7siii last year and now I really can appreciate the colors and flexibility of the camera. Would love a shorter lens, but for now I have a 24-105 G f4 and a 200-600 G telephoto for getting birds. I also have a 35mm Slr magic t1.3 that I rarely use anymore because it's manual focus. One day I'll sell it to put it towards a 14 or 16mm prime for Astro or just some fancy b-roll.

I love this camera-nerd style of video! Why not make a second channel for the really 'deep-dive' gear talk videos and get the best of both worlds? I think you would be surprised at the number of people who would be interested in that!

After years and years of 'enthusiast phone photography' 😅 and flip-flopping on whether to get a 'proper' camera setup, I decided on Sony. I got a budget oriented setup of a 2nd hand a6100 and a new Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 and OH MY GOD I love this combo already. I can honestly say it is more camera than I will be needing for a long long time but I love seeing the different looks you get from different lenses.

I don't see myself getting a G-Master lens any time soon but I am definitely looking at a wider lens for my next one - potentially the Sigma 16mm prime (f/1.8 I think).

[EvanNakagawa]

The Sony 14mm is such a cool lens, but a little niche due to how wide it is. I just picked up the Viltrox 16mm 1.8 and I love it!! I've only used it for photo so far, but would definitely recommend!!

Correction at 3:35, the 16-35 GM II is 10% smaller and 20% lighter, not 20% smaller and 10% lighter (when compared to its predecessor)
