The Sony FE PZ 16-35mm f/4 G Lens would pair well with this camera, it is a fairly small lens, w/ very good performance

[alhOOOO]

To be fair, the footage out of this camera looks really good

[joywinphoto]

the footage is so clean in this episode.

I hope NOCT weight comparisons continue in the PetaPixel videos

Love seeing Jordan skulk off behind a tree during the selfie recording scene. So glad you two have found a new home for your content!

"Petapixel viewers" will be much easier to pronounce

I like how there's a clear differentiation between this and the A7C which is more of an all rounder. I'll wait and hope for a A7C2.

The size is appealing. I could see some situations where it would matter. Though, overall the Panasonic S5ii seems like a much better value for hybrid use or straight solo creator video work.

I’m 30 today. It’s scary how long Chris and Jordan have been in my life.

I sold my ZV1 (which I was using as my C camera) because it overheated too much. Went with an FX30. When I heard this was coming out I wondered if I made a mistake... but looks like I didn't. Nothing worse than trying to film a multi-camera video and one of the cameras turns itself off. 🙂

I just love how you both always say zed 🇨🇦

[webdaddy]

I love the dig at the shutdown in the opening.

[lloydranola]

I"m watching and liking this one for nostalgia's sake. Thank you guys!

[rishtofen]

This is a Frankenstein of old cameras with current software improvements at the price of new camera, selling vlog idea as trend. Same as always great video guys

[HopeProphecy]

Does this camera support 24-bit audio recording?

[scottnelle]

Laughed out loud at the auto mic pattern selection scene! You two are the best in the biz

[MrLogansimmons]

When I heard about this camera, I went to dpreview to read about it. Not sure what I’m going to do in the future. Thanks for the great work guys.
