The secret to shooting in low light with every camera is to using a prime lens with minimum F1.4 and you will be have no problem at all. I am really happy with my FX 30.
@Nypics Жыл бұрын
I actually find the FX 30 VERY useable up to ISO 6400 - add a bit of Davinci NR and a bit of film 'grain' - and honestly ISO 2500 is a very nice high 2nd base (most high end cinema cameras don't go any higher than that!) Fast lenses can help - even better if you can add just a touch of light ...
@snaprifice 11 ай бұрын
The secret to low light is not to shoot in low light 🤣 but seriously f/1.4 helps a crap ton, f/1.8 isn't terrible either and people need to stop being so scared of bumping the ISO a little. Even my old A6600 is decent up to about ISO6400.

There are pros and cons to every camera! The FX30 isn't perfect, but it's about as perfect as you can get for the price point. I wouldn't be honest if I only said the positives about something, and understanding the downsides to any camera will allow you to get the best results with it. I remember saving for months for my first camera (it was nowhere near as expensive as the FX30), and if someone only told me the good parts and left out the bad... I would have been pretty upset and felt misled. Not trying to be a downer about the camera! Just trying to be real with you guys 🙏

After Canons, our biggest pains were with FX30: - you can ONLY set headphones level in menu (you cannot assign to any button) WHEN you're not recording, because menu is not accessible during recording! - no proper waveform, - battery in percentage format instead of hh:mm or minutes (on Canons you can see warnings before battery goes flat, but Sony) - sound level display is a joke, - remaining rec time left on cards are not separated on main display, only in Main > Main2 menu - you should have to keep a battery in the camera (even if flat) to use it from external power

One thing that also made the FX30 so attractive was its pricing for students on Adorama. It only costs 1500 without the top handle regardless of holiday sales or time of year which made it an even simpler decision! Eventually I will get a more expensive fully featured cinema camera (Probably from the sony cinema line full frames) but getting started as a student with that price point made it even better of an offering than the BMCC or BMPCC cameras which are almost all above that pricing!

My FX30 is my A camera even though I have the FX3. I love the lighter setup with APSC lenses. I shoot with no PP and the video quality is more than enough for my KZfaq videos. I use the 11mm F1.8 for low light situations and I have not had any challenges. Due to the lower cost, I am also much less nervous about damaging the camera than when I use my FX3. This is important for me as most of my recordings are outdoor on the move.

Choose the right tool for the job. If autofocus is your jam and like built in stabilization, the BM is not your jam. If you like a more natural cinema grade color, going to make the effort to stabilize the camera, don't mind manual focusing, and like cinema tools, and built in ND filter then BMCC maybe your jam. I have used both bigger brothers, the URSA and the Sony fs5/fx6 and I'd shoot with the URSA hands down for most projects.

I'm new to photography and videography, although I have taken great pictures in the past using SLR cameras and early digital cameras. Now, I bought these cameras specifically for indoor and outdoor video blogging and interviews. Could you please advise me on how to seamlessly combine videos and audios from both cameras without any issues? Which software would be perfect for this task and user-friendly as well? Thanks in advance!

Please continue to post more as they will greatly help people like me who are venturing into this field. I work in IT but have a strong passion for professional photography and would love to learn more. I have a particular interest in capturing amazing indoor interviews and outdoor professional-grade videos. Now, it's just a passion, but I hope to improve and make it a professional appeal Regarding video and audio mixing, I have a few questions: 1. Which software is easy and quick to combine and edit two videos and audios from different cameras? 2. When shooting, do you record audio separately or connect it to each camera? Or does one camera capture the audio while the other captures the video? 3. When using two microphones, such as one clipped on the subject and the other being a shotgun microphone, how do you ensure there is no echo? For example, if one microphone is attached to the subject's shirt on the chest and the other is mounted on one of the cameras, there is a chance of echo. How do you overcome this issue? 4. Since you use two cameras placed at different angles, how do you mix the sounds together without any syncing problems? I will be using two cameras and two microphones - a DJI microphone attached to the subject's shirt (on the chest) and a Rode shotgun microphone on one of the cameras. How can I properly sync the videos and audios from these two different cameras and microphones? Thank you in advance for your guidance!

The rolling shutter in 24p with the FX30 is measured to 15.9ms by several serious reviewers with a let’s say slightly more scientific approach than yours. This is in line with the R5, the R5C, the C70 and the R6ii. It’s however a lot better than the a7iv, which is measured at 25ms in the full frame 7k downsampled readout. How you can say they look similar is mindblowingly misleading. And I own both.
@keith-knittel 7 ай бұрын
I understand that my approach to rolling shutter isn't the most "scientific", but my test is whether or not I (and clients) can notice the rolling shutter. Looking at the FX3/6, I can't notice any rolling shutter with those cameras but with the FX30 I can. So while the numbers between the FX30 and A7IV are different, but I can still notice the rolling shutter so it doesnt really matter to me what the numbers are - youre going to notice it either way if youre filming fast moving subjects. If a client was paying me to film something that was moving quickly (sports, cars, etc) I wouldn't use any of those cameras because the footage would look like it's warping from side to side when moving the camera. I don't think it's "mindblowingly misleading" to say they look similar, they both have RS issues. I think it would be misleading to not mention it. Thanks for the feedback and I'll try to phrase things differently in the future.

If you're not using much of the wifi/Bluetooth stuff, turn it all off. Also I would imagine optical steady shot/power zoom lens stuff would consume more than lenses without.

I'd agree. The FX30 can be setup to shoot Sony's rec709, or SCinetone which is essentially a finished "look", great for fast turnaround and minimal post production. XAVCS and XAVCHS are pretty good too for most things, just keep it all in 10-bit color. Also if I'm not mistaken the Blackmagic is an MFT sensor, which is smaller than APSC, hardly a deal breaker but you would need to take that into consideration particularly if you want really wide angles, they will be a little easier to achieve with slightly less of a crop.

In any ways i was trying to undermine your work or this review, but i often see that people are very influenceable when it comes to "what to or not to" buy and they also have to understand that, if they have only certain amount of money to invest and their not professionals yet, something like "grainy low light footage" isnt a deal breaker when you have the possibilitie to change it in post. Of course if i had the money i wouldnt even buy my fx30, i would go ahead and buy an fx6 😂@@keith-knittel

Yes finally someone who gets it! If you're a paid professional, do folks not show up with some sort of lighting? At the end of the day, garbage in equals garbage out.

So wouldn’t these failings be resolved with a Ninja V shooting ProRes RAW over HDMI? Yes, it’s another $700 but we are talking about gear that competing with $10K cameras? I’m looking at this for in studio shooting vs S7iii and keeping it under $3K
@keith-knittel 11 ай бұрын
Recording Prores RAW wont help with the low light performance or the rolling shutter, but filming in a studio - you can control the lighting. And the rolling shutter wouldn't be a big deal unless youre whipping the camera around. Buy faster and wider glass to get around the crop, and the FX30 would be a good studio camera! If you're looking at an A7SIII and want to keep it under 3k, make sure youre factoring in glass and storage as well

Ended up buying the Sony Alpha 1 (because of the Low light and ability to Record 8K internal to 4K Ninja per Gerald Undone… and I could put it on my Dell account and pay it off over the next 12 months) and, G Master glass… that was the main reason I first bought into the Nikon… big investment in Nikkor glass and I mostly shot manually on my Rhino slider…

Yeah, it really came down to my application (shooting Theatre under studio (low) lighting and getting the best color science and pixels to tweak in post… and I was able to put it on my Dell account and pay-off in a year… so “affordable”

This is a fantastic entry point to the Sony cinema line, or a great b or c camera for other Sony cameras. No such thing as a perfect camera, just knowing how to work around the limitations is important

My next question is why did you buy it? According to your video is a horrible camera. Crop factor low light is unusable etc. I don't understand why you bought it.
@keith-knittel 11 ай бұрын
The FX30 is a great camera for the price. I purchased this camera knowing it would be a little different than my full frame cameras. It does require more light, wider and faster lenses - but for simple talking heads and shots with little movement, this camera is fantastic and I'll be keeping it for a very long time. I wanted to highlight some of the pros and cons in this video - I'm working on another video going over "How to get the best image out of the FX30" right now that's a little more positive and upbeat ha

@@keith-knittel Thx. I have the Arri Alexa 35 non Full Frame and also I own Blackmagic and this Sony FX30. Since it says is a cinema camera I use Cinema lenses T0.5 T1.5 and also Sigma Sony 1.4. There's no problem with low light on this camera if you use a fast glass. Also the exposure plays a re and I find at ISO 6400 there's no problem at all. I prefer Super 35 than FF for films. Thx.

I wish you would have talked about resolution a little bit. Codecs, bit rates, supported frame rates etc are the most important features of a camera.

I'd love to make a dedicated video going over that! I've included them in videos in the past but after a few people who said they were boring, I left them out. I think making a dedicated video going over the recording options, then which ones I use for what would be an interesting video. Anything in particular you'd like to know? Thanks for the feedback!

Optical Image Stabilization Missing Sir. Whats your point about this? its Love or Hate?
@keith-knittel 11 ай бұрын
For optical image stabilization, you'll need a compatible lens for that. Like the full frame 24-105 (the only optical steady shot lens I have). Without an OSS lens, you still have access to active stabilization on the FX30 though.

It sucks!! The camera, not your video. Sony FX 30 is not a real "cinema camera", it is a vlogging camera with video log capabilities. Any true, cinema camera gives you raw data from the sensor anytime, on camera and externally. Low light capability with usable footage is NOT better than Blackmagic Design Pocket series 4K or 6K. Ha!

Between the FX30 and the A7IV, mainly for videos... Which one do you prefer picking up more often? I can't decide between these two 🥲
@keith-knittel 11 ай бұрын
For video only, I'd pick the FX30 - easier tools for filming in LOG for the most dynamic range, Cine EI and best of all, can shoot 4k 120 if you need it, it doesnt over heat BUT it struggles at shooting photos. If you need to shoot photos, don't shoot LOG (or don't mind exposing with zebra stripes) and don't shoot 4K 60 for long periods of time, the A7 IV is a fantastic camera. Tough choice honestly

@@keith-knittel Thanks for the answer!! That's what I've been thinking... In picking up the FX30. But then I think "rolling shutter in A7iv in crop mode is better... 1080p in A7IV is also better... what do I dooo?" haha I guess I'm gonna wait on that A6700 or the A7CII to see what they'll come up with 😂😂
