Thanks for the feedback, seriously.

"Appearances of your gear do not speak whatsoever to your level of professionalism in the end product."
I wish all new clients knew this. 100% true. Clients who are working on their first project are a pain in the ass. And on quite a few occasions I've been asked "you're shooting with THAT?" lol. Some of them really don't get how powerful some of these baby cameras are.

Also correct on this being a bit a fluff piece. Definitely was not aimed at beginners.
Thanks again.

I just knew I couldn't have been the only person thinking this about the film vloggers.

The audience doesn't give a rats ass what you shoot your film on. They just want to be entertained.

At this price, who is this even for?

Buy both. I don't know your financial situation. But if you regularly do paid jobs having multiple choices is priceless. I have 3 cameras and just ordered a fourth. They all serve difference specific purposes for me (bought the a6300 for low light). There's no one trick pony for me so I need multiple. And what I don't have I rent.

That was actually the only shot I was wondering about. I figured it was that device they use to shoot slow motion spills for commercials. No idea what it's called.
