Looking to buy my first camera for amature photography but more so for video making. I hear the Panasonic G7 is better than the a6000 for video, but besides the appeal of the a6000 being the compact size and design, am I an idiot for wanting the sony because of the brand?
Panasonic just has a bad connotation in my head. It just sounds old and cheap to me. It's the brand of CRT your grandma had. Sony, their website, their branding, their cameras and lenses, it all just looks good. I feel like no matter what, I'll be slightly dissatisfied with the Panasonic just because of that.
Is that a dumb reason to choose the a6000 over the G7? I do prefer the a6000 size more, but other than that, the G7 checks way more video boxes except the autofocus, but I don't know how substantially better the a6000's autofocus is in comparison.
