I’ve decided to make a switch to full frame videography from a Fuji X-T3 that I mainly used for photos. I would use the money from selling my Fuji gear to get into videography, so around 2300usd, and any extra if needed.
The X-T3 is great for photos, but I want to start filming more and more, with the focus being street automotive rollers and in the future filming racing events for cars and motorcycles. For this usecase I came to the conclusion that a full frame system is the better option, because of low light capabilities for evening and night shoots and better compatibility for video third party accessories compared to Fujifilm.
My roadblock right now is which is the better system between Panasonic S5ii, Canon R6 mk2, and Sony ZV-E1.
What I think I need is 4k60p uncropped (for the Panasonic I would use 6k30p open gate because full sensor filming is more important to me than 60fps), great stabilisation and autofocus and great lowlight.
My current top pick is the Sony, with the Canon a close second. The reason being the dynamic range is much better on the Sony from what I saw, and 4k120p could be really valuable when filming motorsport content. (posting to social media and in the future collaborating with racing circuits if possible)
What I would like to ask is: from somebody that is familiar with automotive/motorsport filming, what are the features that actually make a difference in content quality, and the best suited ecosystem for the industry in the 2-3k usd range?
