Gear Opinion: (2) FX5s or FX5 + FX6?
Hello!
I work in-house as a videographer primarily shooting corporate interviews, events, social content, and ads.
We currently have 4 FX3s, an FX2, and an A7IV split across two locations. We are putting in our gear requests for the coming budget, and my coworker would like to get rid of the FX3s and move to FX5s. My preference would be to have 2 FX6's and 2 FX5's—one of each at each location.
We travel a lot, so his argument is that the FX5s are more portable, it's easier to get a similar image across footage, and open gate for social content. My argument is that the FX6 would be beneficial for us because of how often we're shooting interviews.
I don't disagree with the benefits of the FX5, but it just seems duplicative to me having 4 of the exact same camera.
We plan to give the FX3s to other teams across the company, but I could possibly make the argument that we keep 2 of them so that each location has an FX3, FX5, and FX6.
My question for y'all is does it make sense to get 4 of the same camera given our needs?
Thanks!
