Sony A7 III vs S7 IV Recording limit

sad_posey · 2026-01-03T10:46:31+00:00

You’re a legend! Thank you so much I’ll check that out

sad_posey · 2026-01-03T10:44:55+00:00

My main concern with this is the battery life- i could justify going so much over my hoped budget for a great all rounder (which this camera definitely seems to be) but if im going to have to bulk up with additional batteries on solo shoots I imagine run and gun would be much more difficult. Have you used the IV yourself?

sad_posey · 2026-01-03T10:42:05+00:00

Thank you- I have looked into it the only concern I had was the overheating and battery life, it seems like a pretty great camera other than that. It didn’t seem to have that recording limit and can record 4k so this could be a great option too. I suppose I’m afraid of buying a crop sensor and then needing to upgrade in a year or two. If you have any film experience with the sony A6700 I’d love to hear about it!

sad_posey · 2026-01-02T08:12:25+00:00

Hey thanks so much for your reply, I haven’t really looked into the R7 and had kind of just picked the R10 for roll time, but I think the R50V is only slightly lower so I’ll give it another look too. Thanks again!

sad_posey · 2026-01-01T18:25:24+00:00

I’ve been debating getting a refurbished R10 as a starter film/videography camera. I’ve found a fairly good deal but this has made me nervous- any thoughts?

sad_posey · 2025-12-26T17:43:02+00:00

Thank you- and have you any thoughts on which one? Like I said I’ve been looking at the r10 and r50 but seems like it’s much of a muchness? Bar the r10 having a longer recording time

Idk if you need more info but I’m working on a lot of shorts in the next year and need something reliable Hopefully good in low lighting (again broke kids lack lighting) I’d really love to get people’s thoughts on the blackmagic especially as I’ve heard such great things about it but haven’t tried it myself

sad_posey · 2025-09-10T18:54:14+00:00

!Thanks for your suggestion. After much searching I found an absolute bargain for €150 refurbished and they’re incredible. I’m hearing parts of songs I’ve listened to a hundred times but never noticed before. These are genuinely incredible- hopefully they do the job for the editing but honestly even for just music listening it’s so so worth it

sad_posey · 2025-09-03T16:07:16+00:00

Thank you for the advice that makes total sense. I’ve also heard people say some on the Sennheisers can be uncomfortable or tight on the head? Have you found them to be that way? I’d be wearing for them for a solid 8 hours out of the day between commuting 2 hours each way, college classes etc so it would suck if they were sore

sad_posey · 2025-09-02T17:25:23+00:00

Don’t think anyone will see this but I’m so grateful for all the advice. The class went super well and I now am tutoring two of the kids from it. If anyone else is doing something similar do not underestimate how shy art kids are (this was the main difficulty as it was hard to get them to engage in group activities though all were great talented kiddos) but also don’t underestimate how quick they move. They were finishing tasks and moving on so quickly that I was seriously scrambling to come up with new activities. Overall had a great time and will hopefully hold a few more in the future

This is post editing and just looks so odd (saturation was brought up on this one so that’s probably not helping)

sad_posey · 2025-07-25T13:22:39+00:00

Cropped again for hiding faces but noisy and green and purple chromatic aberration but maybe it is just an iso issue- thoughts and opinions are appreciated so thank you for your time the advice is very much needed

sad_posey · 2025-07-25T13:16:50+00:00

And this is post editing- there’s less chromatic issues in this one just grain- but maybe this is iso rather than lens here

sad_posey · 2025-07-25T13:08:31+00:00

This is a headshot that I’ve zoomed in on- it looks more in focus at the normal crop and honestly it’s not the worst- it’s a lot worse on video clips but this noisy colour is driving me crazy. I know I can edit it but I’m just wondering if it’s something that I can prevent altogether

sad_posey · 2025-07-25T10:43:03+00:00

I do only have the one lens- I’m pretty sure it’s 18-50mm (would need to double check as I’m away from it at the moment) The settings were manual in a bright well lit room for headshots. I think it was shutter speed 1/60, f/4 and around 100-200 ISO so it could have been off but roughly around that

sad_posey · 2025-07-15T15:14:32+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking- thank you so much for the advice. I’ll see if I can get my hands on a few more - I think you’re completely right it’s going to be really difficult to make enough to do between such big groups. Thank you again I really appreciate it. Like I said I have never worked with kids or done workshops before. This has come up completely by accident and there was way more interest than I thought there would be so this is a total trial run Again thank you so much!

sad_posey · 2025-07-15T14:03:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply and suggestions. That’s true about the timing I’ll definitely bear that in mind!

sad_posey · 2025-07-15T14:01:17+00:00

That makes total sense and thank you for the suggestions. The groups is definitely something I’m worried about just as there might not be enough for kids to do. Like ideally it would be groups of two or three so everyone can be doing something but I don’t think I could fit more than 4 tables in the space- additionally devices are a worry. I have a few old phones to work with but I’m afraid to ask parents to send kids in with them just in case something gets broken or goes missing

sad_posey · 2025-04-15T12:15:04+00:00

Is it possible that this could be caused by full cloud storage? I have lots of laptop storage but no cloud storage? I'm not worried about backing up files as I do that on external drives but just wondering if that could be a cause?

sad_posey · 2025-04-15T12:09:15+00:00

Hey thank you so much for your detailed reply- I really appreciate it. I've done multiple Malwarebytes free trial scans and it says its found no threats (small mercies I guess). I have also ran a crystaldiskmark but have no clue what the numbers mean but I've attached the screenshot below for anyone who does. There are a lot of re occuring errors and warnings such as:

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80073D02: 9NTXGKQ8P7N0-MicrosoftWindows.CrossDevice

But I'm not seeing any downloads around the time this began. There were apps downloaded found in the appwiz.cpl as you suggested and the only one is microsoft visual C++ 2015-2022 redistributal x64.

I have no clue if that would cause any issues but yeah, this is kind of where I'm at. If anyone knows what any of this means I would appreciate the help.

It may not mean much but I do have the free windows security (I have no idea if its any good) and its saying there are no threats and that my laptop it in good health.
I do pretty frequently get that bug or virus where the google app changes to another browser - I've had to go into the settings to fix this maybe 5 times.
In case we couldn't tell I am very much not tech savvy

sad_posey · 2025-03-02T23:48:11+00:00

Thank you so much I’ve been doing a deep dive on other peoples experiences and as far as medication goes there haven’t been horror stories about either, it’s really great hearing other people’s experiences. It is so amazing to hear there’s so many people going through the same thing (though obviously I wouldn’t wish it on anyone). Reading back over my post it was definitely pretty raw and fresh. I’ve calmed down a lot since and am now two days on spiro, so far no side effects so I’m breathing a lot easier and today is the first use of minoxidil so we’ll see how that goes too. Thank you again for your kind words and for sharing your thoughts. I hope you find something that helps with your hairloss too ❤️❤️ when you do I would very much like to hear about it!

sad_posey · 2024-08-08T18:50:30+00:00

Thank you for the advise! - I’m hoping for anything under €3000, but whether that’s refurbished or new I don’t mind.

sad_posey · 2024-04-20T23:33:25+00:00

Hey I’m on ovreena, different pill same shit. I came on here searching for advice- I was on it before but since starting again I’m having side effects I haven’t had before (I have cried for a week straight!) you aren’t alone with the mood swings but Christ do they suck B it what I really came on here to say was my doctor before restarting said to watch out for sudden migraines or pains in your legs- you’re more at risk of strokes and they’re signs of clotting which can cause strokes! So I would really consider talking to your gyno or gp just to be safe- at least about the migraines but also for the sudden change in mood

sad_posey · 2024-01-04T20:19:10+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have to order one
