I do think it's worth mentioning that A7IV is notorious for over heating because it's not really built for only being a video camera. The FX30 has a built in cooling system to handle hotter conditions for larger format. Which is a fairly decent problem if you like filming for festivals or concerts in high picture profiles

@@utopian666 from what I’ve seen on a lot of forums. Not everyone’s a7IV has the same issue, perhaps it s a firmware related problem or further, but I see this talked a lot. Sounds like you got a better made one.
@utopian666 Жыл бұрын
@@RoyalG *2 better made ones. I have two. From speaking to Sony directly about the issue though my rep, I think the people on the forums are just bad at configuring the cameras, or there's a tiny amount of defective units. Don't forget the internet magnifies small issues massively. The A7Iv have stated run times, and Sony have confirmed, if they don't achieve this you can send the camera back they will replace it.

Great video! Indeed The A7IV has a nicer and sharper image across the board! I had a lot of doubts, but not anymore I'm definitely going for the A7IV in 2023. I know that this one also takes better pictures, so I'm also going to go for the more expensive full frame lenses! I don't know if this camera still overheats, but the image quality has convinced me!

I bought the Fx30 and I regretted it, I couldn't sell it because it was difficult to sell second hand in Turkey. I was angry at myself, thinking I had made a mistake. I came across this video. Thanks for the comparison, FX30 definitely gives a more cinematic image, even in photo shoots. Additionally, having an APSC sensor as the second camera gives the opportunity to use different depths of field at the same focal length. "There is no mistake"

I do notice that the A7IV has a softer highlight roll off, however 3 things. 1) If you use 125 ISO (lower ISOs) instead of SLOG3 800 ISO, 4K 120 in the FX30 is actually very clean. 2) FX30 has 240fps HD which is awesome shooting action and wildlife. 3) in action sequences and wild life I struggled to notice the crop difference between 60fps and 120fps 4k / 240fps HD because I was always trying to get the tightest shoot with the zoom anyways. BTW you do have 120 HD in the the FX30 without crop. In a 4K timeline you won't notice the difference

I wish Sony moves all Alpha lineup to FX3/30 body design. I hate the power button on FX series, mode button. Other than that love it. I dig the dark grey and black combo plus squarish aesthetics. At the same time I love the viewfinder, screen and dials on my A7R5. If I were in market as a video shooter I would pickup FX30 over A7IV just for 120fps.

Nice comparison and video, thanks for sharing! For me the decision is clear. I am a current user of the great A73 and if I upgrade, it would be an A74 (if I do it now) or a future A75. Its an amazing all rounder camera. I would only consider the FX line if I do more video works. But for a dedicated video shooter I can see the appeal of the FX line. But I would still think that if you are a "one" camera person, doing both equally, the A7 line would still be better!

Great video. I have a question. A7IV have APSC crop at 60fps. So imagine I like to take 60fps video so I can always slow it down in post later. Do you recommend buying the FX30 over the A7IV ? Because I heard that A7IV at 60fps is now true 4k and not oversampled 7K anymore, and FX30 is still oversampled 6k because there's no crop.
