Want to film like Sam Sulek?

The equipment above is what the sources support. The options below are alternatives Sam Sulek has recommended to viewers or that fit a smaller budget. None of them is something Sam Sulek is confirmed to use.

Lower-cost alternative

Sony ZV-E1

instead of the Sony FX3

NeedThe FX3's full-frame look for about half the price

WhySam's own comparison: the ZV-E1 is 'basically the same thing for a little less or around half price'. It shares the FX3's 12MP full-frame sensor.

CompromiseNo cooling fan, a single card slot and no XLR top handle.

Sam Sulek suggested this in 2025 QNA - Camera Recommendations and Consistency Tips, December 2025.

Beginner-friendly alternative

Sony ZV-E10 II

instead of the Sony FX3

NeedA first camera after filming on a phone

WhySam's pick for anyone making the jump from a phone: 'the ZV-E10 Mark II and the Tamron 17-70 2.8, you would not regret it'.

CompromiseSmaller APS-C sensor and no in-body stabilisation.

Sam Sulek suggested this in The Bulk Day 80 - Chest - Camera/Lense Talk, September 2024.

Beginner-friendly alternative

Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8

instead of the Sony FX3

NeedOne zoom to pair with the ZV-E10 II

WhyThe lens Sam named with the ZV-E10 II. Constant f/2.8 across a 17-70mm range.

CompromiseAPS-C only: it does not cover a full-frame body like the FX3.

Sam Sulek suggested this in The Bulk Day 80 - Chest - Camera/Lense Talk, September 2024.

Lower-cost alternative

Sony A7 III

instead of the Sony FX3

NeedA used full-frame body with fast primes

WhySam: 'A7 IIIs are not too much more than like a thousand. That combined with a 35 and an 85, maybe an f/1.8 prime. If you get them used, even better.'

CompromiseA 2018 body: 4K is limited to 30p and 8-bit, with older autofocus.

Sam Sulek suggested this in 2025 QNA - Camera Recommendations and Consistency Tips, December 2025.

Lower-cost alternative

Viltrox 35mm f/1.8

instead of the Sony FX3

NeedA fast 35mm prime for the 'camera blur' look on a budget

WhySam suggested 'a Viltrox 35mm something or like a Sigma' as the first prime, paired with an 85mm.

CompromiseThird-party autofocus and no zoom; a 35mm on APS-C frames tighter than on full frame.

Sam Sulek suggested this in 2025 QNA - Camera Recommendations and Consistency Tips, December 2025.
