In this video, I discuss the good and the bad about the Sony FX30 after using it for 6 months as my primary camera for sports videography! We talk the FX30’s great features like built-in LUTs, audio recording with the XLR top handle, and improved rolling shutter and autofocus performance, while also touching on some areas where the camera may be lacking (*cough* low light *cough*). Finally, I finish the video by telling you my plans for the FX30 and when I’m going to sell mine for good.
