JB Earl Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I have an opportunity to buy a lightly used sony Z7U. Any thoughts on this camera? It's a current model, but been around a long time. Any thoughts what it would be worth? Currently using 5Ds. So this would mainly be for long podium clips or documenting events etc. thanks Edited October 3, 2013 by JB Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Rencher Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It depends. If you shoot a lot of reality, then it might be worth it. A lot of reality shows still use that camera, and mostly because of the camera's size, zoom ratio, & quality for television. Also, tape is a more suitable workflow for them. If your clients are expecting a 5D look, then it may not be a good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Earl Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 thanks for the reply We just need something for when we hit the recording time limit on the 5Ds. We bid on a job requiring taping business speakers at a podium, like 45 min to an hour straight, so things like that. Hoping the camera would be more useful anyway. I hate that the zoom isn't constant aperture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
