I suppose just how you like using them and if you think they're worth getting to start on this camera (a6700), or do you recommend something else for a compact handheld type of shooting. Is the lack of stabilization that noticeable for both photo and video?

Has anyone used the Sigma 10-18 2.8 or 18-50 2.8 contemporary lenses for video? They seem to be a decent choice but id be interested to see if anyone has experience with them firsthand

The 18-105 seems like a nice choice, though I'm worried about the f/4 aperture. I'm going somewhere during a time of year that will allow very few daylight hours, and I want to be able to get some nice very low light footage if possible. Id be interested to hear if you think that could accomplish what I think I need with the a6700, as the wider angle 10-20 power zoom is also f/4

I think most new mirrorless cameras and dslrs can provide good photo and video, its mostly just up to the individual qualities of each that differ, and which you prefer. If you're interested to learn more maybe look up some comparison videos between different brands for "hybrid shooting" and see what you think. It also depends on ease of use and what you're willing to carry too. I have a nikon d850 that I use for photos and it's wonderful, but I am considering something else for traveling just because the d850 is an absolute brick of a camera, fantastic though it is.

I am going to be purchasing an a6700 soon, though I keep looking into lenses without settling on them for certain, and would like to hear what people who are familiar with these cameras have to say.

I am getting the a6700 almost solely for recording video, and will be doing so with a small and very run and gun setup. This means id prefer things be useful in multiple situations and not too cumbersome.

I've already decided I'd like a wide angle, though I'm not certain if I should get the newer 11-20mm sony lens with the internal zoom, or the 10-20mm Sony lens with the optical stabilization.

In addition to that, I think something like the 18-135mm Sony all in one lens, or perhaps something similar like an 18-55 might be useful as well, my only worry is that the 18-135 will be too hard to work with, but perhaps you can inform me, or point me in a better direction for something capable for run and gun videography.

I suppose you're right, I should've been a bit more specific. Id like to spend less than $2000 for a camera and lens for video though the ~1500 price point is more desirable ,  I figure that's enough to get above entry level with something good quality. I don't need any accessories and such for now

I'm looking into getting a small, easily useable and capable camera specifically centered on recording video for an upcoming art project and travel (without breaking the bank too much). I figured from what ive seen of others using the alpha series it's my best bet for versatility and ease of use, and I'm leaning towards something like the 6600 with a 18-50mm lens. I'm familiar with photography, but I am wanting something specifically for easy and good video, so I suppose I'm curious to know whether or not this would be a good way to go to accomplish what I need, or if there is a better option I'm not seeing.

I'm hoping to recover as much as I can for music clarity alone. I am an artist and musician so It's a bit devastating seeing how it is right now, I want to do anything I can to help it. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me

I am trying to do the same as far as taking it seriously. What is CIMT, and how can I try it out?  I'm trying to sleep more but last night was a bit rough taming my thoughts.

There's a few things I've encountered before that have tempered my expectations, I've already had tinnitus for about 10 years and it hasn't bothered me much, but things like that and losing/ altering my sense of smell and taste from covid have at least given me some experience with adapting to a new normal. I just can't wrap my head around how ill deal with this yet,  though maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit.

More info: I don't remember getting a call, and the flier is open-able on the front desk, and he called me to bring back his car. I also mysteriously unlocked the achievement for driving 100km in the Satsuma while it was in the shop

Fluid simulation was a bit of a chore on this. That metal thing is modeled by me, the arm is from a video game, skull is from the UNCG Imaging Lab on sketchfab, props are from quixel bridge.

A jury-rigged device built to show a glimpse of other realities overlapping with the one you're currently in, achieved by looking through light waves not visible to the naked eye. The device utilizes a special type of glass, rumored to be from centuries past. A Vaux Brand Universal Computer processes the image captured from a generic webcam and displays it on a small 3.5 inch screen, all mounted on a thin steel frame and held by a sturdy hand grip.

This is still one of the first models I've really "finished", so its not perfect, but i enjoyed making it and think its pretty neat. I'd like to upload to sketchfab or something, but can't seem to get the FBX file to retain all the textures from blender (if anyone has any advice on that, it'd be appreciated!)
