I only use Cine EI with my Fx30 and I can tell you my first day using it…it was confusing as hell until I saw Sonys video on what Sony EI is really for. In short…it keeps you strictly at only it’s one of its 2 base ISOs. Cannot divert from that in Cine EI. The change of ISO put simply is “FAke”. It’s for monitoring purposes as we are really supposed to expose +2 stops over exposure which for monitoring purposes…isn’t ideal. So it forces you to use your NDs for proper exposure, rather than increasing ISO away from its base. It’s just to keep you at bass, then to lower your ISO for “monitoring” to know what your recording will look like in post when you lower that exposure. Once I got the hang of it…I noticed nearly zero noise I’m my shadows and blacks because I’m properly expose, while also at only base ISO

Awesome option for second shooter. Making portraits will be greate with 85mm 1.8 viltrox. But we alreade purchase A7IV instead of our A7III and stick with a6400 for a standalone. Not enough budget to replace it with newer FX30 in this year 🤔

It finally came in yesterday but it seem like the firmware it came with only let’s me shoot in 23.98, 29.97, 59.94 and 119.88 😅 I shoot with an A7iv and now I’m worried that I won’t be able to sync a multi cam since their frame rate will be different 🤦🏻‍♂️ now I think I need to return it cause my frame rates won’t match and drift is a possibility. What are your thoughts? Would appreciate your input! Thanks! Keep up the great work. Love your content.

Bravo ! Excellent review, many thanks Matt ! I now have another page to my dilemma. I'm a wedding photographer who is offering (beginning in 2023) photo+video coverage. My current kit is fuji xt3+23/35/56. For photos i'm happy with the results for video in stressful moments i'm a little worried about the performance of the bodies. I had planned on changing some lenses with year and going with 18/33/85 (viltrox) for photo. My debat is simple... stay with Fuji and upgrade camera bodies (xt5 maybe) and accept that it's there will still be issues with auto focus or... move to Sony for some or all of my work. The obvious solution seems to be the a7iv, but you video has me wondering if the solution isn't a fx30 as a B-cam to complete my fuji kit.

If I don't use simultaneous recording (rebel) and I put my larger but slower card (v30) in slot 1 and my faster but smaller card (v90) in slot 2... is that a good strategy for only filling my v90 with footage my v30 is too slow to capture? Like, the default recording procedure is to fill card 1 first so if I put my fastest card there, I'm thinking I'll just fill that with my normal footage and be full when I need it but if I put my fastest card in slot 2, when the camera determines that my first card can't handle it, it will use my fastest card in slot 2. Is that accurate? Does it work?

So, I photograph weddings, and want to get into filming, occasionally film parts of the wedding on a tripod with my 2nd A cam (A7 III) photograph with my A7R III. But I lose my 2nd cam (prime shooter) Settings issues aside, I want a low budget video cam for shooting on a tripod (mostly ceremonies and video guest books, and playing around to learn more). Am eyeballing the zv-e10 but it does not have dual card slots (could possibly be overcome by using a monitor or 2 cameras as they are insanely cheap)? I currently do not grade my colors for video (yet) as it is too much of a hassle with 8 bit, also not getting a lot of money for it as it started mostly to get all the phones out of the shots (Piss off with your phone, already taping the ceremony). No editing apart from some titles and not spending too much time on it as editing a proper wedding film will take me probably 4 times more time than editing the photo’s (me = noob) and also not enough coverage as I do it mostly on my own. Getting to the question: what is the cheapest (Sony) way to safely tape parts of the wedding (dual recording) in 4K? I like to travel light, everything I use apart from the tripod and light stands/ modifiers I carry on me.

What would recommend the Sony A7iii instead of the FX30 for wedding filming or possible other low light scenarios?

But i will be doing mostly weddings and curious around what camera would be best for me. The three I mentioned are used cameras i found for decent price but the fx30 would be new or used from amazon or best buy. Was also looking at a Sony A6600 but was leaning more towards a full frame.

Just came across this comment and I thought I’d give you my thoughts. I have a7iii - although it’s a full frame camera the colours on my fx3 is so much better. For video of definitely go with fx30. Also a7iii has time limit (29min). It’s my c cam which I’m thinking of selling and buying fx30 to pair with my fx3 and Zv-e1. I’ll still be using FF lenses cause I’m future I may upgrade it again. Lenses last longer than cameras lol. Another personal advice. I had just switched from BMPCC6KPRO and 4k. I found it to be very hard to film whilst manual focusing and certain shot I simply could not pull off… and although BRAW is amazing codec, files are way too large imo.

I’m in the same boat! I want something that can do 4K 50p and trying to decide between a7iv or FX30. I think eventually I will buy both as I think they will complement each other, but for now I’ll get the fx30. Thanks Mediamore for asking and thank Matt for the content!

one last question before I buy it....if I used an external monitor with the FX30 (not a recorder like the Ninja V-just a monitor) and I press REC in 4k, do BOTH screens continue to display video at the same time? with the camera LCD showing me the display info but the external monitor just a clean image? I ask because with my a6400 both screens stay on but only for HD recording- the moment I record in 4k, the camera's LCD goes to black-no video but I can see the display info on the camera's LCD but NO VIDEO...is the FX30 the same? I hope not as I would like to use a small 5" external LCD when using my gimbal...thanks. PS I wish I could come to your video courses!I'm in Toronto Canada

I bought the FX30 just a week ago and OMG what a fantastic camera ! My first camera is an a7SIII and this one is my new B-cam, before it was the a6600 apsc but this one is perfect. I sold my a6600. 🙌🏻

It's seems weird to me that Sony chooses lower resolution on their full-frame FX3 but higher resolution on their apsc FX30, unless they are just too lazy not to recycle the old sensor found on 4-year-old Fuji XT3. If FX30 had a low 12MP sensor, it'd have much faster readout and less 4k120p crop, which would also hurt their full-frame line.

Matt: Tendras que pensar muy bien que lentes vas a comprar si compras la FX30 Todos los usuarios que siempre usamos APSC y tenemos lentes apsc sin pensar en los recortes ni conversiones de cual seria la "true focal": O_o jajaja just kidding, love the video plus I find some stuff that didn't know yet about this camera so thanks for the little tips you mentioned. I think the FX30 within get any further... is the fx3 for poor/cheaper creators xd such good features for the apsc line. Great!
