FX3, C50, or Nikon ZR? I'm shooting mostly short films and some event coverage. Don't care about stills. Which one gives the best video quality and user experience?

Honestly, between these three, it really comes down to your ecosystem and workflow needs. If you're already invested in E-mount glass, the FX3 is still the smart choice - especially for handheld work. IBIS is just too valuable when you're shooting solo. The C50 looks great on paper but that RF lens limitation is real. As for the Nikon ZR, I'm curious about the specs but Nikon's video ecosystem is still pretty thin compared to Sony or Canon. Sometimes the devil you know is better than chasing specs.

Sony FX3 and Canon C50 both costs $3,899. I will choose Nikon ZR for $2199.

What about lenses, Sony has tons of lenses than Canon and Nikon.

FX3 all day. Look, I get the excitement around new cameras, but I've been using my FX3 for three years and it's never let me down. The low light performance is still unmatched, the lens selection is incredible (thank you third-party manufacturers), and IBIS saves my shoots constantly. The C50 might have 7k and open gate, but those massive file sizes are going to kill your storage budget. The ZR sounds interesting but I'm not switching entire ecosystems for incremental improvements.

Forget the hype. I've wrestled with codecs for years. For pure video, the FX3 punches way above its weight. Its low-light performance and compact size make it a winner. You'll spend less time tweaking and more time shooting.
