Nope, not if they're using S35 lenses! (as is most likely to be so in general)
-
Get an EVF as an accessory? There are decent affordable options on the market now.
-
Go for the Sony FX30!! (if the Sony FX6 is outside your budget, as really an FX6 would be ideal)
-
Lacks timecode however (which the FX30 has), that's a rather big negative that Fujfilm hasn't dealt with in my opinion
-
The Hasselblad X2D 100C? But surely if you were going to irrationally splurge on a medium format camera for photography, then getting a Fujifilm Medium Format camera makes much more sense??? (especially as you're already using Fujifilm for video)
-
Solution: move to New Zealand! (or anywhere really in the Southern Hemisphere) Great setup! If only the FX30 had eND, then I'd love that with a Tamron 17-70
-
And lacks DCI...
-
Probably Canon's "answer" already exists, and is the Canon R7?? But I'd rather have this Sony FX30 instead! Not for you, as I think for your purposes decently strong-ish stills performance at least matters to you as well?
-
Noooo! Then again, I watch it and he says: 1) better than any Sony FF stills camera? 2) better than any Sony APS-C stills camera! So win-win? Even if the FX30 isn't as great as some others with its rolling shutter.
-
Half of the price of the FX3! Very competitively priced vs Fujifilm X-T4 / X-H2 / Canon R7 / Panasonic S5 / GH6 I like this. Has IBIS, another good feature for such a lightweight camera. Hopefully should have low rolling shutter, from newsshooter.com:

That's awful, sorry to hear, best wishes to you and your family during this time. 😞 Hope there is a miracle and she's successful in fighting off this cancer.
-
Doubt many if any people are selling the FX6 for much under RRP, if at all. Because the FX6 has such extremely huge back orders queued up.

Viltrox must be reading my posts. Viltrox, can you please release a seven lens set of T2 S35 PL Mount prime lenses for under $300 each. With a trio of T3 PL Mount zooms too for sub $600 each. All matching with each other of course. Thanks! oh, and give me please a VIltrox branded quick release that's compatible with Rycote Boom Quick Release for a tenth of the price! Thanks again Viltrox.

Even ARRI has to work to a budget and hit their price points!

I guess if you've getting the locking EF mount, then you're getting some of the benefits of the PL mount already? So I guess it depends on what you're thinking you might do next. Maybe a Panasonic S1H mk2 could be in your future? But a locking EF mount doesn't exist for L Mount?? Then you'll be wishing you had got the PL version of the lenses! (this also depends on other factors, such as do you ever work with a 1st AC? Or do you just blindly pull focus yourself? So that level of precision and robustness you get from PL might matter a bit less to you) Confess, the only reason you achieved that impressive accomplishment is because of covid? As that specific date is awfully suspicious.... I feel you.
-
oh wait, I missed counted: NX, MFT, F, E, & X... that's five! Uh oh. I'm just as bad as you 😉 But nah, I think you're still out ahead of me. Three out of five of those I only have one camera for: Samsung NX300, Fujifilm X-A3, Sony FS7. oh oops, I forgot my sixth: Sony PMW-F3. (FZ Mount) Have lots more cameras with other mounts I haven't mentioned yet, but they're not digital cameras.
-
Ah I should have clarified what I thought was clearly implied (such as via my reference to DSLRs): "What cameras do you have that are only EF?" None it seems. Yes, I'm talking about the general case (and especially in the ex nihilo case), then if you are choosing between two identical lenses sets, it makes sense to always go with the PL Mount. Of course if a person is already heavily invested in the EF system (most people don't need to rebuy adapter for five different camera systems! And I thought I was crazy obsessive with four camera systems! haha, well, you have me beat!), and doesn't want to move away from it, then yes it makes sense for them to carry on with it.
-
Ohhhhhh........ man, I am wrong! There is indeed a Pocket 6K Pro with PL Mount (I didn't realize the adapter could work with both original and the newer versions): If I wasn't so deeply into my world as a Sound Mixer, then I'd definitely be going with a Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro PL Mount camera. Be such a sweet setup with DZOFilm Zooms & Tilta Nucleus-M. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1701859-REG/dzofilm_dzo_7220001b_2b_3b_kit_pictor_zoom_3_lens_kit.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1367922-REG/tilta_nucleus_m_wireless_follow_focus.html

What cameras are there now in 2022 (no interest in using Canon DSLRs these days for me) that you'd want to use with an EF mount that a PL mount doesn't exist for? Very few, if any. Z Cam E2-S6? (or F6/F8) Can come in PL Mount as well. There would be the Pocket 6K, but that can be easily adapted to PL Mount. However I think very unfortunately the Pocket 6K Pro hasn't got an mods for PL mount yet? (if ever) Eh? They're not €750, they're roughly a hundred ish bucks each: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1470350-REG/fotodiox_pl_nikz_pro_pro_lens_mount_adapter.html Not for me, EF Mount is a terrible mount to use on set (along with all other stills lenses). You just don't get to have the lenses firmly locked in like you really need them to be at critical moments when you're pulling focus remotely. If all things are equal (or only a marginal difference in price), it always makes sense to go with PL over EF mount.

How are the Viltrox, Tamron, or TTArtisan lenses on the Nikon Z6 for video, anybody tried them? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/products/ci/17912/N/4196380428?sort=PRICE_LOW_TO_HIGH&filters=fct_a_focus-type_5738%3Aautofocus%2Cfct_brand_name%3Akipon|tamron|ttartisan|viltrox|yongnuo%2Cfct_lens-mount_3442%3Anikon-z-mount

Makes it far more logical by a country mile to buy it in the PL mount version instead of the EF mount
-
The answer kind depends on what lenses you have. But I'd say, leave the 60D at home! And bring the other three with you. iPhone is your "always have on you camera" (as I assume that's your usual smartphone too). The GoPro kinda fills that role too, I'd probably get a super cheap $100 gimbal for the GoPro too, plus the GoPro is great for all the sporty activities and activities around/in the water. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1525357-REG/feiyu_fy_vimble2a_vimble_2a_handheld_gimbal.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1706044-REG/hohem_isteadypro5_isteady_pro_4_3_axis.html (you could get a gimbal for your Fujifilm too, but that would be more expensive and heavier) Then using the Fujifilm for the higher quality video/photos you might do.
