Am I retard if I buy the Sony FX3 for shooting video for my music projects? I bought my Canon R8, but I bought it with the intention of shooting photos and now I'm more interested in shooting a music video for my next project. It seems the Canon R8 works but the Sony would be great in low light situations. I'm a one man band so I need as much as convenience as I can get when it comes to features.
I'm not a videographer by any means but to get the level of video I want will likely cost me around $4k for a single video if I hire someone and I figure I can just power through (obviously I won't reach professional level for years but I've found that being in control of the the ideas and editing I can get decent results as opposed to having to deal with some time boxed project with a hired person who won't meet my autistic vision in the end anyways, nothing worse than hiring someone and realizing that its going to fall short of your creative vision midway through).
So with all that said, is the Sony FX3 a killer camera thats plug and play that will offer awesome quality if we assume I have good creative ideas and source material? ($4k is not a massive deal to me if its worth it, but if the quality and convenience is only going to be marginally better than I can easily achieve in the R8 then maybe its a bad fit). Lastly, I will be hiring a colorist in the end so just need something that will get me good footage. I will be doing non coloring editing myself.
