When comparing Sony A7R V and Sony FX3, which one is better?
Weight is really important when it comes to cameras, since you need to be able to hold it for extended periods and carry it about. Sony FX3 is the lighter camera with a weight of 715 g compared to the weight of Sony A7R V which weighs 723 g. This means that FX3 weighs 1.11% less than A7R V.
Winner: Sony FX3
Regarding weight: A heavy camera can be a pain to carry around and can also make your wrists start aching after using the camera for a long time. Just make sure that the camera you choose to buy isn't too heavy when combined with the lens you want to use.
Winner: Tied — Neither have this feature
Regarding internal raw recording: The ability to record raw video internally is found in cameras such as Blackmagic models. It takes up more storage space but is also more flexible afterwards. We don't think internal raw video recording is a requirement.
