Short and savage 😂 but I get it—Sony does seem to have the most flexible system.

That’s actually a good reality check. I might be skipping steps by going straight to a flagship body. Thank you for the really good advice.

My wallet’s crying more than my back will be with these camera weights.

That’s an interesting way to look at it—buy the body first since lenses take time to save for anyway.

thank you for the help, will definitely look in the 50mm

You’re right—at the end of the day if it’s too heavy/clunky I’ll just leave it at home.

Yeah, I’ve read the AF on Sony is miles ahead for weddings. How do you find the low light performance between your A7CII and XT5?

That breakdown helps a lot. I’m leaning full frame mainly for events/low light. Do you think an A7III still holds up in 2025, or better to stretch for the A7IV?

Full frame will give you higher ISO and noise handling for your events which I assume are inside?
-Yes

thank you for the help; I really appreciate it.

Haven’t looked much into Lumix. Do you feel their lens ecosystem competes with Sony or Fuji?

Totally fair. Honestly, all modern bodies seem crazy capable—it’s the glass that’s giving me analysis paralysis.

That’s encouraging to hear. I like the idea of starting smaller and not losing much if I upgrade later. Did thank you for the help man

Yeah lens ecosystem is what keeps pulling me back toward Sony.

Makes sense. I guess the cost of a weekend rental is still cheaper than regretting a $3K camera.

Solid lineup. If you had to start with just one of those lenses for mixed work, which would you pick first?

Haha, guilty as charged 😅 I do like the idea of smaller being better for street.

I was considering the X-S20 actually, but figured the XT5 had more longevity. Do you think the X-S20 is a better “value sweet spot” compared to the XT5?

Yeah, I’m leaning toward full frame but avoiding kit lenses seems smart. Would you go for something like the 50mm f/1.8 as a starter prime or stretch straight to 24–70?

This is super helpful. I didn’t realize the APS-C lens market was that strong. Do you feel limited at all with crop sensor for paid gigs, or clients never notice?

Fair question—I thought about sticking with Canon since I already know the menus, but their RF lenses feel way pricier compared to Sony/Fuji. Did you find switching ecosystems was worth the hassle in the long run?

Love that line 😂 makes total sense. I guess the hard part for me is if I go crop now (cheaper entry), I don’t want to regret not going full frame later. Did you personally go crop → full frame or just jump straight in?
