you truly are a camera connoisseur brother.the shots are incredible absolutely smashed it with the opening👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

It's a great demo video... and the following break down is straight-up and honest and a real user assessment...

Excellent footage. I picked up my FX30 a few weeks ago. I'm already shooting a web series with it. It really is an excellent camera. I, too, used to have the BMPCC4K. But, the FX30 is really a great choice.

When I heard about the FX30 I knew a lot of people were going to move from the pocket 4K/6K. It’s pretty much what folks were asking for. I’m not at all interested in Sony beyond the Venice, but I can give roses where they are due. All I really care about is you being happy and doing your thing. And it sounds like you are!!!

Beautiful opening sequence and I loved the music! Sony cameras aren’t cheap but the value for money in their recent lineup is outstanding :-)

I was very intrigued by your mystical/surrealist opening sequence. Well done!

Footage looks super clean brother! You’ve made a great investment with the fx30! Sony has def been killing it as well with their cameras. Can’t wait to see everything you do with it!

The intro sequence is just EPIC!

I can't stop watching your content. You ate best. Straight to point.❤❤❤❤

Great video! 🥳 FX30 seems like a steal if you want reliable AF! I’m gonna wait until the rumored Q1 announcement from Panasonic and if there’s no PDAF I’ll happily buy a FX30!

This video made me a subscriber. I totally agree with everything you said, but the conclusion in the end is like icing on the cake.

I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you

This is some of the best coloring I've seen so far of fx30 footage 😯

The footage looks so good! Sony has really been killing it with all these new cameras for sure

Totally enjoyed the video Brother!!!! I’m ready to go in woods and start dancing myself now🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I’ve been looking at this camera myself lately!! After seeing this it’s a no brainer. Always love your stuff!!! Can’t wait to see what’s next🙌🏾!!

Killing it with your passion dude.

That Helios on Sony Really looks Awesome!👌I hope the threads are fine, for I saw when you took it out from the speedbooster there seems to be material strings.🤔👍

really interesting. I just picked up the sony fx30 as my first 'proper' camera to start my youtube journey with. loving it so far

Wow" start and to the point, my brother hear me when I say you GOT THIS FX 30 THING ON LOCK!!! Great information thank you brother! I'll be looking for more from you for sure!

I almost bought the fx30, but I decided to make my main camera the Panasonic s5, and I keep my Sony a6400 around when I need extra reach, or if I need critical auto focus for some reason, which is rare for me, I use manual focus most of the time. But I'm sure the fx30 is an incredible camera. Your footage looks really awesome. Thanks for sharing

wow so clean great job. This FX30 is a great camera for sure and I think it's prety cheap to own since it'll hold value very very well.

Amazing video man! Love using the FX30. It’s incredible for the price

I'm saving up for this camera. I don't have "Sony Land" money, but this will be the camera I upgrade to. I'm currently shooting on a Canon T7i. That camera is the reason I learned as much as I could about lighting to get the most out of it. Thanks for this review. Your footage looks great! Thanks again.

THIS video is what we needed!!!

Yes i‘m still happy with my GH5s. But only two things i need to upgrade. 1) shooting bigger than 4k, so i could render in 4k and record at 5.7 or 6k. What a GH6 can deliver perfectly with open gate. 2) a real good autofocus for following people in gimbal shots. That will the FX30 the best candidate for. So if no manufacturer will offer both, i do have to make my decision in wich one i will invest. Both is no solution for different cfexpress formats, cards, card readers and so on. Thanks for your video. It will quit help me to get a look on to the FX30 from a BM switcher😂

Lovely footage. I am loving my fx30, and Sonys new LUTS, the new ones from Josh Pines, look really nice with this camera. The lo-con and 50 50 LUTS are great.

Ooooooh Pweshusssss! Buying a new camera is very invigorating esp if you’ve done your research as opposed to an impulse/ influenced buy!

0:57 Cole Power is London's answer to John Woo(pigeons/doves interchangeable) 3.53 First "absolutely amazing" of the vid ;) .and...we get to see your dance/drumming as the video opens :). Nice review as always, much better than a lot of vids out there and some real world examples. Good work dude!

Someone prob already mentioned it but US prices don’t include tax. You then have to add the tax rate which depends on which state it’s being purchased in. So the price difference ends up being much less than what it seems at first glance.

Please make the video of the 3D printed Helios housing. I have made one in the pst and it was so cheap looking I hated it. But yours looks amazing!

So tempting, I felt like I need to switch to Sony couple weeks ago when I went abroad... my bmpcc4k wasn't practical and isn't great for a quick, grab out the bag n shoot, its taken the fun out of shooting lol

I'm enjoying your videos. Creative and informative. I have a S5 and S1, and as much as I love them (image, ergo, reliability, Lumix lenses) I have found that the AF has been getting in the way for several quick turnaround jobs. I shoot mainly manual but there are times when AF is necessary. How do you feel the FX30 and S5 compare as far a ergonomics, lowlight, image quality, ease of use/ergo? I'm waiting for Panasonic's S series announcement in early 2023 to see whether I stick or twist! I'd love a S5 with Sony AF.

Nice video, I think im definitely going to rent this camera and give it a go

That intro isamazing! The light in that park (when you said it was a local park in London I was like, what?) looks so, so good. Loved the shots in the parking garage, too. Really, really nice. I wonder if Sigma will ever update the 18-35 for mirrorless systems?

So good! Great review and such inspiring footage. Can you use autofocus on the Helios?!

Please do a video on your cine mod 44-2, I myself have a 3d printed one but it looks nothing like yours (looks more like a toy). But I still use it all the time:D great video man!

Great video! Just got a FX30 for the very same reasons.

Great video. The Sony 28/2 is highly underrated. It’s a favorite of mine.

Great vid, thanks.

Wow! What an opening

Great video thanks 👍

Good video, like the cuts at the beginning.

phwoar that’s quality intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Interesting. I have the BMPCC4K and just got in a Metabones 0.64x Nikon F to MFT BMPCC4K version. I will let you know what I think of it vs my Viltrox 0.71x budget booster. I was just looking at maybe the full frame Sony FX3, not the FX30.. same idea, just full frame for a series of projects of mine. For my projects, needs to be a solid raw for grading. I used to print color images (enlargers and paper chemicals not printer) from negative and positives. I'm fast and fairly good so working with Davinci Resolve BRAW wasn't intimidating, it was almost like coming home. That being said what I'm shooting is vintage full frame lenses or recreations (tomography, Lensbaby etc) and now looking at Meyer-Optik Gorlitz recreations..... they look impressive though I have yet to see one in person. Anyway going a question. with your new Sony do you do any external RAW recording? If so how does it grade for you? I think depending upon recorder you can go ProRes RAW or BRAW?

I’ve just reverted back to canon. I took delivery of my R7 today. The thing I missed the most was the menus.

$2300 in Canada WITHOUT the xlr adapter….however the fx3 is 5 grand, so 2300 is quite a steal 😂 I’d love to go full frame but I’m pretty invested in the apsc glass. I really want an fx30 to replace my a6100

Great video 👍🏻 I have the FX6 and I am searching for a b-cam 🎥 the fx30 would be a great option 😀 best cinematic greetings from germany

thankfully i got 3 of them 6k pro, 4k and the fx30, glad i hold back on selling my p4k. Bm still eats fx30s image quality

Great work!

Holy crap, what you just said I was thinking the same thing and bought the FX30, coming from the Olympus and Pockets!

There is a difference between the image out of a full frame sensor and a cropped sensor. At its simplest the full frame sensor would make people the dominant presence in the frame. But, congratulations on your purchase. Another, great choice is the A7iv. The biggest let down is that the Fx30 don't have raw still image capability. That's Sony's cripple handle to save the A7iv.

I gave my Pocket 4k away and bought an FX30 for the easier workflow. Being a one man band, auto focus is definitely important to have. Never going back!

I just got a fx30 - but I live in Japan so way to change the menu to english yet ahah. I also own a bmpcc 4k but I'm on fence about selling it. I love the simple UI, the manual everything... I might change my mind soon who knows ahah.

That’s P diddy picture killing me

Great to hear your thoughts on the FX30 haven't shot on Sony since the A7sii but the FX30 does look super interesting. Might have to rent it to play around with it. Also loving the Helios cine modded lens you have. Was shooting with mine (unmodded) the other day and was wishing it was easier to shoot with. How are you finding the Artisans?

I was close to buying the fx30 so I rented it for a job. It was amazing to work with but the image quality just really didn't stand up to blackmagic. Despite all the hassle,the final product is worth it for me to keep shooting on the pocket

The footage is breathtakingly beautiful- the color, the depth, the feel of it. Is that an Iron Glass housed Helios you’re using? I’d be interested in your take on why the high-frame footage was noisy. Please let us know what you find when you figure it out. All the best!

oh and I got the 15mm f1.4 G, the autofocus is STUPID FAST, and the Sigma 18-35mm works as native with the MC11 adapter in terms of autofocus, I'm a 99% manual focus shooter but the FX30 with that AF makes it so easy, its a nice feeling let me tell you ...

i was considering a Sony too, because finally, AF is becoming so good and usable even in short films. But for the moment, I will keep my S5

Great video 🎥! I also sold my Blackmagic and went over to a Fujifilm X-T4 😅.

Sir you have a really pleasant voice and accent

Which camera do you think is better for narrative work? Bmpcc 6k or fx30

same issue here for 100fps , seen lots of others reporting the same on the net. Great camera though

If you loved the fx30 you’re gonna love the fx6 for full frame camera.

I have to agree here too, as a first time Sony owner too, I love my FX30, this is from another Sony Hater, I've used plenty Sony cameras, basically all the APSC line, some FF like the A7III. A7SIII (this one was pretty good but not enough) but the FX30 is different, just the layout itself, its better than the A7SIII for a video shooter and the FX3 is the same too, I own the GH6 and it is superior in many ways (most actually) but... the FX30 is simple, and delivers amazing footage without much effort, I really really like it, great video man.

Awesome video! Just wondering what it’s like matching the colors with the Lumix s5 footage?

Fx30 dream camera for real

Great shots ! May I ask which picture profile was used?

Thanks for the content. I’ve been researching and debating wether I should pick up a FX30. Is there an overwhelming reason as to why I should pick this up over an a7iv?

Nice video mate, great to hear another southern British accent on KZfaq hahaha!

great video, how is the AF with the Metabones and 18-35 comapred to the kit lens? i have a 18-35 and tempted tp sell my G9 to get the FX30🤩

Nice clip 👍🏼 What are the lenses you used ? Are these all tripod and handheld ?

I mean the image looks great I can't lie, it's really sharp

Awesome video bro ... 👌

What was the deciding factor for you in regards to not getting audio handle? I personally purchased with handle

I bought mine used for $1300 or about £1050, been a great camera!

is fx 30 record raw ?

IMCE, i was thinking about FX30 but BMPCC4k was in my mind

I love my blackmagic 6k but I really want this camera

For grab n shoot (and photos, too) FX30 just can't be beat as top vfm. Other factors too, battery life etc etc.

Thinking about this for the battery life and AF but hard to get over the fact that I’m gonna now lose like $800 and the fx30 really needs an atomos (another $400 used) to truly be a cinema camera (better codecs & monitoring tools)

❤❤❤❤

What I need 😊

fx30 or gh6 ?

Love your videos, and this one is a cracker. Which sd cards did you use?

We pay in Austria 2300 Euros, that a big difference

Amazing, which lens bro

Great video man! I'm looking for reviews, comparisons etc. of cameras for weeks and I can't decide if I want to buy a Lumix S5 with 50mm for €1699 or the FX30 body for €2299 (here in the Netherlands). I'm coming from Lumix (G80) so I (was) am a Sony hater as well. I really like the af of the FX30 but the ibis and colours of the Lumix S5 and prince are amazing. What would you go for?

I'm about to do the same. The Autofocus is a deal breaker.

Thanks ! Which cage please ?

😮

This is definitely for everyone. Doesn't look cinematic than bmp image, doesn't come close. But It's for life betterment and ease of use is where it shines. Why not fx3 tho?

What type of drum is that?

Yes, I think this camera is Sony’s take on blackmagic cameras.

Super advice! Did I saw a gh6 in the video, was that yours?

Sure the camera helps but you're clearly a bad ass to make it look that good.

I'm thinking about he FX3 simply because i want 100/120fps as wide as possible and because at that frame rate it crops down to APSC (i think) i'm hoping that putting a speedbooster and a FF Canon lens will bring it back to a close FF FOV, am i right? I cant find any info anywhere to suggest its been tried. I know its crazy money for a body but I will sell off some other stuff to fund it, and hopefully it would last me some decent time. I would possibly go for an A7S3 but the lack of updates to bring it in line with the FX3 worry me a little. Any thoughts?

You use Davinci? You have my approval.

I would sell the Pocket 4 because of MFT sensor. As a filmmaker, it severely limits my work. Blackmagic 6K/Pro I would prefer because it has much better colors and image in my opinion. The Sony image doesn't look cinematic to me, it looks plasticky. The exception might be SLOG3.

I AM A SONY LOVER BUT IT IS AS YOU SAY YOU PAY DOUBLE TAXES FOR THE PRODUCT AND THE NAME BUT THEY ARE VERY GOOD ONCE YOU BUY THEM YOU WILL CONTINUE💙💙💙💙
