Your conclusion is spot on... the better camera is what's best for your need at that moment.

[michaelschneider]

I am a lens guy, I have quite a bit of ef glass that I use across systems, but I bought my R5 and added rf glass, That keeps me on my current systems for cameras to consider. I love and will keep my Panasonic S1 and S1R (I am 6'5" and have large hands, nothing has fit my hand like these cameras since the Contax RTSIII). I also shoot Micro Four Thirds for wildlife and extended hiking. With the glass in those systems, I pretty much ignore some great camera systems. Nikon, Sony, and Fuji are out of scope. My best shooting/ Favorite system for wide-normal- short tele stills is my S1R and Zeiss Otis Glass. (Color science fits my hand/style, built like a tank for landscape) The Cannon big white is my favorite with long glass. Micro-Four thirds is great for video and portable wildlife.

Doesn’t the R6 MK II output raw 6k 60 fps RAW ProRes to an external monitor?

[vidthreenorth]

Actually, when I bought my Sony a6400, one of the first things I bought was an adapter to use Canon EF lenses on the a6400, and it works well enough for the Canon EF and EFS mount lenses I have.

One more point for the Canon EOS R6 MkII: it has a viewfinder; the Sony FX30 doesn't. In a lot of situations, such as bright sunlight, you need a viewfinder. Especially since most camera companies still aren't putting in super-bright LED screens (2000+ nits minimum, I would say). But then you'd have an extra challenge to prevent overheating.

Great video! Which do you think is best for shooting wildlife and bird videos with a telephoto lens? Thanks!

[Ruser-pq]

I use a Sony A74 for all my video work. The past week, it overheated twice. This has never occurred before in almost one year of ownership. I got it Dec. 23, 2021. That's recording in 4K, 4.2.2 10 bit. So why am I now experiencing overheating?

[petergriffiths]

Usefukl video, Thanks. I am looki g at both the R6 MKII and and the FX30. What will I use it for? Live streaming, filming podcast interviews and classroom based training. Can you suggest which one or anothoer option, please?

[royphotoworks]

I need a camera for cinematography in sony model, I’m confused between fx30 & fx3 but fx3 price to much from fx30 plz Help me to figure out the perfect model

[HollywoodSmokeRogan]

Great video. Very timely. Last year I switched from the Canon EOS R to the Sony A7C because RF glass was too expensive and I had third party options. Even though I get results from the Sony I find the menu system complicated and I miss the simplicity of Canon. One day I hope to return to Canon but I think I’ll pick up the FX30 to pair with my A7C!

[JohnDrummondPhoto]

Date the body, marry the lenses. If you already have an inventory of glass in one system and you're not made of money, get the body in that system that meets your needs. If you're that person who can afford anything, or you have a YouTube Santa like Kasey, get everything. 😉 The tough choice is if you're starting from scratch. That's where a plus/minus comparison might actually be useful.

[PlunderRoad]

Do the EF lenses work "flawlessly" with video autofocus when adapted to RF mount? Thanks!

[johndc]

Its very complicated because it boils down to your preference and priority. FX30 could be the safest choice. R6 II might still have those questionable dynamic range & rolling shutter issues. Fuji XH2S could be an alteranative choice considering how good the video features are. But you still have to consider that fuji tends to have fine, sharp, gritty looking noise which can be unideal to some if you prefer softer blocky noise like what most other camera brands have. I myself prefer the softer blocky noise from canons and sony. The noise that the fuji cameras produce looks like vintage and many people may like it.

Excellent Video, Simon with getting rid of the BS, and example, making this about Use Case and not Spec Case!!!

[HaleyBell-wu]

I’m a social media manager/content creator looking to buy a video camera for work and also for personal travel video. I already have a Canon 5d Mark IV with some glass, but I’m willing to get a Sony if it’s worth it. On another note, I’ve been really wanting a mirror less camera and I already have some Canon lenses (which is why I’m interested in the Mark r6 II). But ultimately, I want the best video. Do you think the Sony fx30 is worth it?

[NeroMMA]

So a big thing for me is. In Sweden, they are basically priced the same. With the price being the same, perhaps the canon r6 would give me more for my $?

[prateekitis]

Hii, I am a student filmmaker for the moment and will be graduating soon. I have a canon eos T5i or 700D and want to upgrade to a good full-frame camera, but I am getting very confused. My projects are generally fashion photoshoots, portraits, and sometimes short films and product advertisements. It would be great if you could help me choose a good camera to buy. Thanks. By the way, love your content, just got to know about your channel and am super lucky to find it.

The Canon R50 looks like an M5 or M6 replacement. The R6 II should be able to satisfy most people. The FX30 seems to be a good contender as well.

[snowwalker]

The problem with the current Camera market is that the hybrid cameras with the best video features have usually smaller sensors. I wonder how much more the price of a full sensor is. When a FF has half of those features they become significantly more expensive.

[johnclay]

informative 11mins would love to use both, reading up on the fx30, both seem very in demand.
