That's the big question that I was hoping you'd answer more - what are the benefits of the FX3 over the FX30? The FX30 looks like a great 2nd camera if you shoot an FX3, but it would have been great to hear more about the differences. I guess that's why I'm looking to Gerald Undone now too!! Still, good vid, thank you.

I think it is not necessarily for every content creators, but for those that want to go more into filmmaking that exceeds tiktok. Especially if they know that they want to go in steps and upgrade to more expensive cinema cams. They can even keep it later as a B cam after they upgrade and easily match. On top if they already know they want to upgrade at some point they can go a little cheaper on the body and use the saved money into accessories like monitors cf exporess cards that they can keep and still use when the upgrade.

I've been shooting with Sony for the last 5 years mainly with the A6300 for 4 years till it died few months back and upgraded to the Sony A7IV. In my opinion this camera is great as B camera for hybrid shooters like me as I was thinking to get another APSC camera to replace my beloved A6300. The price is very good just for the body so, I will definitely buy this one as still got APSC lenses and is a good addition for my freelancing work as B camera.Great video by the way!!

Considering that the gap really is between the a6600 and the fs5, there's really a place for this APS-C camera. The smaller sensor has its advantages, and now we have a more affordable option with more information and active cooling. I already have lenses for APS-C, and if I get enough projects to justify the purchase I'll go for it.

@carloalcos Жыл бұрын

This is my situation. I have an fs5 with inferno and an a6300 as my bcam. It's time to upgrade that a6300 and this is the camera for me as I have the lenses already and just want something else that can give me 10bit 4k, unlimited run time and other features.

I struggle to find reasons FX30 is competing with R7. It is going after GH6 XH-2S, and a super upgrade for ZV-E10. R7 is a photo first camera with good video spec for its price. In order to justify the older CMOS

@tor2919 Жыл бұрын

I don’t think the FX30 is competing with any hybrid camera. It is competing with video cameras like Black Magic. It’s really just a video camera, but because of that clarity of design it is far better for its intended and singular purpose, video, than any hybrid. Hybrid cameras are compromised by design and principle. I’ve come to the conclusion that I rather shoot two systems dedicated and set up for either stills or video.

@HomesickMac Жыл бұрын

I was saving up for the FX-3 and I really stretched for that, like, I'd buy that and nothing else, adding to my already existing full Sony line. Wanted a cine camera with those 120fps and all the rest of the goodies. But now this FX30 will give me the same and I'll have money left to get some more lenses. So my answer is yes, buyin'!

It's very tempting, but I might wait and see what the a7R V will look like. I shoot both video and photo, purely as a hobby. The FX30 doesn't even have a mechanical shutter, so it's nothing like a hybrid. Otherwise it's very attractive, I don't mind the crop factor for video, and smaller lenses means smaller gimbal. I would only need 1 new lens, the E PZ 10-20.

I wish I can buy the XLR handle and use it on the a7iv. Honestly I am blown away by the fx30. I am a full-time videographer and video editor. I do photography but mostly video. I may consider the fx30 since the fx3 isn't a current option and I'm newly going into the Sony system. With phone dominating the market, which aren't full frame of course, I believe nobody today will care if you have a full frame or not as long as the quality is good. Never had the chance to work on film systems such as red or arri, however have some experience on c 300 mark 2 as a film camera. For a professional who can't afford the fx3 I am considering the fx30, mostly for the facts that you don't need a cage, the fan, tally lights, and the xlrs. My dream camera is actually the fx6 or fx9 for film. However I might have to stick with the a7iv. Too much details here and there that are holding me back. I'm used to Canon. But don't have my own gear yet. Did you say the hdmi out is full size or smaller like canon bodies?

Well said that the FX30 is not a good beginner camera. It’s just as advanced as the FX3 function wise and will be costly when all the necessities are added. The FX30 is a pro video machine with ergos made for video, something where no hybrid can really compete. That it pairs with compact and light super35 lenses means it is easier to bring along a dedicated stills camera. Perhaps a film medium format camera like a Mamiya or Hasselblad. Or with a digital medium format like the X2D. The ZVE10 or Nikon Z30 are much better for someone starting out.

I still wouldn't advice this as an entry camera. Like Jared points out: a good camera is nothing without the skills to use it. This camera body (1.7 k) plus some good glass (at least 1k extra) plus lights, microphones, memory card... That'll be a cool let's say 3 to 3.5k. I'd still argue that picking up a good used Canon / A7ii / A6600 / GH4 is probably going to be a lot cheaper if you are new to the craft and want to give it a go. This camera is much more for the intermediate / semi pro. Where you have some gear already, know what you are doing and already generating content.

FX3 is soooo muuch better because of the dynamic range, FF and better rolling shutter handling. Even A7Cis "better" as a b-camera, it's cheaper than this, FF and has better dynamic range = 15 stops vs. 14 stops.

Jared, do you read messages? I asked you a couple of questions and you did not reply. With cameras that crop, will I get the picture that I see in my viewfinder or will I get a cropped photo which I did not intend. Say I shoot at 18 mm and it I get a photo as is I was using a 28.8mm. my question is: will I see in my viewfinder the final photo at 28.8 mm and not what the camera sees at 18mm? I simply do not want to take a photo, a face photo and get eyebrows and a nose and chin. Do you understand?
