Best Camera under 3k for 1080p 50fps, A7s or GH4 or a6300

Indeed we are developing a fan club for a camera not on sale. Don't nobody mention pre-order when the camera arrives in November we get to revisit this conversation

Seems the real alternatives to cameras in the title that are available and can do clean 1080 50fps are Nikon d750, d5500. Nikons shot at 100 iso seem to have good dynamic range could be 11 stops of usable range which is not bad at all.

D750 has less moire and than the a7sii and a very clean 60p. Not the same as 120p but not so bad either.

 

Na, it don't   I'd own it if it did

Quite a bit of moire, and the S II is cleaner yet  

Wonderful camera, and a valiant effort by Nikon in video. 

But side by side its 1080p is worse in every mode, every frame rate

I think the d750 video looks nicer. Never had moire.

I returned the a7sii. One of the reasons was moire. Specially in stills.

The D750 is an amazing hybrid camera, yes, and most folks like the handing, operations, features, and, critically, colors better than the S II.  

For what it's worth, I have an NX1 and S II, and unlike Mattias, I kept the S II for both 4k and 1080p quality and integrity.  I don't shoot with SLOG and I don't shoot with a tripod very often, and the latter factor played into my decision a lot.

D750, X-Pro2, NX1, E-M5 II even - they all are less predictable than the S II with artifacts and handling of patterns in all modes - it's just the way it is.  But they also are better stills cameras, with more neutral color science.  

Pick your poison!

Also the Nikon D5500 does great looking 60p

Hi Andrew!

Do you think the D5500 is the best cheap alternative for the D750?
