Tysm, I LITERALLY just bought a Sony NEX 3 while watching this video for $207. So glad i came across to buy as a gift for myself this Christmas

[itsover]

Thank you! I bought a Sony A6000 for around $300 and I like it a lot. It arrived a couple days ago and I have already experimented a lot with it.

I have not seen that many good videos that explain stuff like this, i even watched to the end! This was very helpful!

[wearetrackclub]

Nice guide, Kraig! Really great explanations. Super insightful stuff for beginner creators 🙌

i picked up my NEX-7 for $150 AUD, it has been such a good camera to use with my vintage lenses. the view finder and extra thumb dials are also great.

Great presentation. I wasn't aware of the NEX/RX series.

I bought a SLT-A57 in 2014. Brilliant. Since added used SLT-A77 and SLT-A58.

The great things is that since Sony dropped A-mount, quality lenses have appeared on the market for pennies.

Might give the NEX/RX series a go as so cheap.

got nex-6 from my dad with kit, 55210, canon’s 1.4 50mm with adapter lenses. prob the good start

[ClientsMusic]

looking forward to another banger video

[jailynerivera]

Hello! Thank you for the video … it made me decide on my camera. What family portrait /portrait lens would you recommend for the Sony A7iii? Thank you !!

[xsaviangames]

Nice Video And Info.. I started with the Canon m50, Then I jumped to the Sony a7RIV for Photography and the Sony a7IV for videos ...

[HomesickMac]

Great and honest, realistic list. I own an A7 III, A6700 as well as an A5100. You took the words from my mouth haha. Also, great timing for this video because I'm just about to have a consulting session with an aspiring YouTuber, their first camera after an iPhone … So my tips will be A5100, then A6700. If the budget is an issue then A5100 and investing in Sigma 16mm f1.4 That combo is unstoppable for the money. Then the A6700 if they decide to invest more in a camera than lighting ( or if we find a good solution for that..) Thanks for the inspiration!

[nyarinyax]

First and foremost, amazing video!
I just came here to give flowers for the 116 shirt! UNASHAMED BABBBYYYY

This was epic! Thank you! And a quick search on your channel answered what WAS going to be my question which was “… and any tips on 2-3 lenses?” 😅👍🏻

Am going deep next year into the Sony system as we ramp up video in our small biz so I really appreciate you getting us started 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for this informative video. I actually have 2 new channels. I vlog for one, and the other is a purely beauty content focused channel. I've been doing a lot of research lately. I want to add 2 cameras in my setup. Ideally, one, but I think no one camera would be good for vlogging and sit down beauty content filming. I have finalized Insta360 GO3 for vlogging and Sony ZV-1F for beauty content shoot. I'm yet to hit the 'place an order' button, but I do want to place it by this weekend. I was highly inclined towards buying a Canon Powershot V10 to be honest for the ease of use. I have 0 to negligible knowledge of cameras and I wanted something supremely easy to use. However, after going through so many negative reviews, I've finalized these two. What would you suggest here? Can Pocket3 be used for both vlogging and beauty content creation? I do need the beauty content to be zoomed in and super crisp quality.

[kathleendinoso]

Hi thank you for making this video! Which one would be best for travel photography and documentary style portraits?

[mrflickswatches]

Appreciate this man! As someone who’s been doing YouTube for 3 years I wouldn’t say I’m a beginner, but I’ve never purchased a camera! I do movie reactions and I think from videos I’ve seen the Sony ZVE10 is probably my best bet! I’ve been using just my iPhone pro but finally time to upgrade!

[luismoran]

I’m looking for a camera with interchangeable lenses mainly for pictures. Between the a5100 and the nex 7, which one would you recommend? Thank you for your help, and love your videos, keep up the good work 🙌🏻

[Stallzyx]

I have been researching this for like weeks but gone with the RX100 VII because I may want to try and take some concert photo shots or videos which may need the zoom range (along with travel and some car/street photography) and I don't think I am at that level to apply for media passes etc until I get some photos from within the crowd. Anything with a detachable lens most likely will not get into places where a lot of big artists perform but I think they may be okay with the RX100 line. But my friend who is a professional also recommended the same alpha cameras such as a6000/6400 and stuff rather than going into an a7iii. Maybe I'll look at the FX30/a6700 or a7iii for next

[crissi_cix]

Hey! Would you either buy the 7iii or the 6700? I am so confused because of their age difference

[Ipdxcreative]

Dude you from Salem?! I recognize that fountain ;)
