Best camera for Live Streaming | A7iii vs FX6 vs Panasonic 350

When searching for a camera for live streaming it can be tough especially if you come from a production background like I did. Mini cameras that we use in the production world or for documentary-style events like weddings do not work that well 4 live streaming. The best way I can explain it is it's the wrong tool for the job. Don't get me wrong the picture and image quality that comes out of these hybrid cameras is amazing I don't think that it can pair to a traditional camcorder. But when it comes to live streaming long events there's a couple things that you need to keep in mind and these are the three factors that I feel that you should look at when it comes to live streaming.

Variable in these are very important especially when you're doing documentary work outside when you're using a Sony a7s you're going to need ND filters to screw onto each of your lenses and so this can get very expensive very quick depending on how many different lenses that you're going to need so you need a camera that has built-in ND filters

When it comes to live streaming you usually need about three or four different cameras and you need to have focal links anywhere between 24 mm and 400 mm this can get very expensive when you're looking into multiple different lenses and you have to switch each of these lenses on and off each time and can get very expensive. This is why I looking at a camcorder can be beneficial because you can get this focal length all-in-one lens that's attached to the camera and you don't have to worry about purchasing multiple lenses

When it comes to battery life I love my small mirrorless cameras. I use the sunny ones. The battery life are pretty good but they're not up to the standards of livestream. Some of the events that we do go on for 3 to 4 hours with consecutive Record Times. When it comes down to it the video quality is not as good but the trade-off is well worth it.
