In this episode, we sit down with legendary creator Peter Gregg straight from his iconic "Christmas Room" studio in Miami! We’re diving deep into the evolution of camera gear, talking about why the Panasonic GH5 era packed such a punch , and comparing it to today’s heavy hitters.
Peter shares some controversial takes on why Sony’s marketing department is completely positioning cameras like the cinema-line FX2 wrong , how it stacks up as a direct competitor to the Canon R6 Mark III , and whether the legendary Sony A7S III still holds the crown. If you're into live streaming tech, hybrid creator workflows, or just trying to decide which camera ecosystem to commit to, this one is for you!
