A7 IV to FX5 for corporate and commercial work – worth it?
Hey everyone,
I’m currently shooting with a Sony A7 IV and I’m considering moving into the Sony Cinema Line to focus much more heavily on video work.
My typical projects are:
Corporate and recruiting videos
Handcraft and industrial businesses
Municipality and tourism content
Event aftermovies
Social media content (horizontal and vertical)
Interviews and documentaries
Mostly one-man-band productions
I already own an A7 IV and a Ronin RS4 Pro. Photography is still part of my business, but video is becoming the main focus.
For those who have used both systems:
Did the FX6 significantly improve your workflow and client work compared to the A7 IV?
Was it worth the investment for solo operators?
Looking back, would you choose an FX6 or an FX3 today?
Which lenses would you consider essential for this type of work?
Current lens considerations:
16-35mm
24-70mm
70-200mm
Maybe a fast prime for interviews
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who actually earn money with corporate, documentary or commercial video production.
Thanks!
