I'm looking at adding another camera to my equipment and looking for some opinions.
I currently have:
1) Sony A7RV (dedicated cinema rigged with full Kondor Blue cage)
2) Sony a6500 (6500NY Lockcircle cage, setup for photography)
3) Sony a6000 (dedicated cinema rigged with Smallrig gear)
4) a bunch of Sony NEXs for just fun carry cameras with vintage/weird lenses
5) Nikon ZF (photography only)
6) Nikon DF (photography only)
7) Fujifilm X-T5 (photography only Smallrig retro cage)
8) Fujifilm X-A1 (photography only)
9) Olympus Pen E-PL9 (photography only)
10) Pentax Q10 (photography only)
(Yes, I do know I have an excessive number of cameras...I also have an insane number of vintage and unique old lenses which I use across many of them).
So here's what I'm trying to decide...
I want to have a higher MP full frame photography setup. That means either replacing my A7RV with a different cinema rig, or picking up an alternate equivalent photography camera.
Option A:
I switch the A7RV to be a photography setup then I'm thinking of getting a Z Cam E2-F6 (or maybe a Blackmagic Pyxis 6k PL) and fully rigging it out to be my core cinema rig with a DJI Lidar setup.
Option B:
I keep the A7RV as the core cinema rig, then I'm thinking of getting a Sony A7CR as the higher end photography setup.
Benefits of Option A I feel are that the Z Cam is truly meant to be a cinema rig and has a better configuration for it. Cons are that the A7RV is a pretty large photography camera to carry around.
Benefits of Option B I feel are that the A7CR is small and easy to carry around, cons are that I feel I'm wasting the capabilities of the A7RV by using it solely as a cinema rig.
What are your guys opinions?
