I recently got an fx3 and researched the hell outta all these cameras before I chose. The given is this: ALL of these cameras look amazing and you can make top notch looking content from any of them. The deciding factors are in which features the cameras have to make your day easier, and the form factor. I do a lot of handheld and gimbal shots with fast movement, so I opted for a smaller camera with a good rolling shutter and auto focus. If you are cool with a hefty camera and only manual focus, the 6k pro is an absolute beast of a deal. Cant go wrong with either option though, both are baseline amazing

I had a shoot yesterday, everything was going against us, time, lightning, sound, location. It is almost always like that for me. But then I pulled out a 1.4 23m lens, 4 audio (main, lower gain, wireless ) a couple of small tube Leds and I was set. No need for monopod. The FX30 is really a steal. A complete kit fits anywhere si you can carry everything with you

The internal nd’s were the big game changer for my work. I can use all my lenses and get the shots I need fast. Still cant be beat.

Very good video. Keep in kind these are two different cameras for two different purposes. For those who say you have to add a monitor to the FX30, in most cases you'll have to add one to the BMPCC6K too.

Thanks for this, was very helpful!

I have the fx3, miss the ND filters. But as for the menu, I program what I adjust normally in the fn menu. I’ve also found that auto focus is much better than my manual focus on the ronin gimbal.

Great explanation. keep up the good work bro

Great video!

For a new podcast with 4 cameras. Main camera, 2 focused cameras on two people and then a guest coach camera what do you recommend? Looking at the BMP G2 or Sony fx30. What will be easier for post production as well? Noticed the BMP do not record on anything higher than 1080p with hdmi.

The black magic is miles ahead. Braw and ProRes are way nicer to work with. When you film in 4K ProRes there is no crop. Once you add an external monitor to the fx30 you’re already at the size of the black magic that doesn’t require a monitor. And for professional work, I find that auto focus fails more often than not at getting the shot I want.

The 6K Pro is honestly a way better cinema camera in my opinion. I think you are right, the biggest thing to factor in here, is the content you shoot and your shooting style. I have the 4K with the metabones 0.67x as my B-cam and gimbal cam, my OG 6K is rigged for handheld work. This system works for me perfectly. I’ve also noticed that a lot of people talk about how they don’t like how you have to rig the pocket cameras and then go on to buy an FX3 and rig it up.

The auto focus of the fx30 makes it better, shooting music videos with the bmpcc 4k was a long process. The fx30 makes it easy almost magical to get such high quality footage with a monster auto focus.

For short films (cinema) and musical videoclips in pretty low light conditions, at a high production pace, lots of action and camera travelling going on, my guess is you do recommend the FX, right? Top job, keep it up!

Hi, thanks for sharing this with us, it's very qualitative! I'd like to know what do you think about the Panasonic cameras (S5/S1/S1H) as they're full frame cameras and can shoot up to 6K ProRes Raw or Braw, and are also cheaper (the S5 is around 2000$ with a monitor for shooting raw). Can an S5 be good enough for more professional projects or Sony and Blackmagic are more appropriate for this?

I have a modded original 6K. It has the Tilta screen kit. So that iPhone sized rear mounted monitor is superb for low and overhead work. Added velcro so a cardboard hood fits onto the screen. A terabyte of on board SSD. Variable ND on the lens. Its a superb machine to shoot with hand held and nearly every shot is usable. You'll have to prize it out of my cold dead hand.

just a heads up, the audio sounds very high on the low end and distorts a little in my headphones making it alittle uncomfortable to listen, but im holding on 😅

The fx30 autofocus and versatility is what grabs me. Bare bones you can film and be discreet in a run and gun situations. Plus easy to put it on a gimbal… but would be mighty nice if they would’ve thrown in an internal electronic ND filter.

I love your videos! And the effort you put into it! Keep on making awesome and informative videos brother!. This channel will be realbig soon! Manifest! Here before #1000 ❤️‍🔥

There's a video on youtube that shows you how to use an Iphone with Lidar detector to do lidar-based autofocus. If you have an iphone 12 or later, you could mount it to the camera and use the lidar to do instant autofocus.

Trying to decide to switch/sell my 6K Pro only because of weight and lack of sensor stabilization. Auto focus is whatever, though would be terrible for vlogging (but good luck doing that with heavy glass and a rig on the 6k pro lol)

Hey love the film wall art. where are they from?

I think a fairer sharpness comparison would've been with the same exact lens. There are certainly ways to use the EF on the Sony.

hi, I'm just starting out and can't choose between fx30/bmpcc6k/Ursa mini 4.6k EF/Lumix s5iix, please tell me what is better to take, I don’t want to make a movie not youtube channel.....

I use NPF 970 battery by Sony and a cable for 12V charging and it last more than 2 hours.

Can you please do some colour graded footage comparison for these

And 3:00 if its not the same lens then then i't can't be compared. The fx30 is sharper.. as it should be, it may be in the cine line but sharpening can't be completely disabled. From someone who also uses both cameras, but knows if you wanna compare sharpness you use the same glass.....

@1:40 You can film in lower resolutions without cropping in on the sensor on the 6k.

The audacity sony has to call something a cine camera that cant shoot raw is beyond me.

BMPCC good for podcast and other controlled environments FX30 more outside shoots maybe run and gun for weddings and such

But the AF in FX30 is so reliable when you need it! It’s kinda unbelievable.

I am going to get you to 1K subs! You deserve it!

What's the led panel you've got behind you?

What camera would you suggest for podcasting. I’m wanting a nice camera. Looking at similar prices to these cameras

how good is the gyro stabilization on the sony ?

Blackmagic 6K Pro - amazing!!!

I feel like most KZfaqrs making this kind of comparison videos only shoot "run and gun", which frankly is cinematography in the same way shooting with a phone can be. Most serious work in the field is not run and gun. The definition of the craft is not. I feel like a there's an entire up and coming generation that is taught by you people that the most amazing thing about filmmaking (and gear) is actually not having to do it yourself. Maybe try something you actually enjoy. Autofocus is nice. Stabilized sensor is as well. But wow, I feel like this people would rather take an FX30 to a film set rather than an Arri Alexa because it's "easier". It feels nice like scrolling through TikToks before bed. You see, there's this thing about mastering a craft or an art form which is delayed gratification, it happens to musicians, painters and well, filmmakers. It builds mental fortitude and will, which strengthens the sense of being an "author" or a Director. It lets you analyze yourself, self critique your work and most importantly, it builds the ability to conduct the orchestra of microvariables that present to you at all times while executing this field of work. The normalizing of "not having enough time" to work on a shot is like... what else should you be doing? The matcha is getting cold, I get it, but, maybe actually perform what you're there to do. I guess this is true if you just do weddings or quick events, but hell, that's not even 1/4 of what you can do as a filmmaker, so a comparison like this without proper context is just irresponsible.

I have both A74 and 6K Pro, and would love to get rid of 6K Pro and EF lensens. Just cannot get as good color from Sony, especially if WB is slighly off. Also like 6K Pro's bright/large screen and internal ND filters.

Sir which camera should I purchase for film making like feature film and music video album ?

Which cam is best for film making fx30 or BMPCC 6k pro or Sony a7RV or Sony a7iv ? Can you help me on this brother 😅

Too much bass in your audio my friend.. its really booming.

4:15 You say the FX30 is better "out of the box" except ND filters, built in RAW, and XLR ports, and really a 5" monitor to actually see your shot compared to the tiny 3" flippy screen...

What rode model mic do u using?

Imo get a fx30 to pair with my bm haha

What about the Sigma FP? It's a portable Cinema Camera that does 4K Cinema DNG RAW

There's no additional crop for 4K on the 6K pro -- you can select to use the entire 6K sensor. Lets not forget there's Apple ProRes for the 6K pro. That is a massive selling point that many cameras do not offer. Also -- the 6K Pro can use CFAST instead of USB-C for storage if someone wanted to throw the camera on a gimbal without having to worry about an externally mounted SSD.

For vlogging and KZfaq content the FX30 is the way to go, for profesional work and documentary BMPCC 4K is the correct choice.

6k pro only crops in 4k if you shoot braw. Pro res doesn’t

Canon c70 or R5 maybe?

I am honestly so sick of hearing all the whinning from the small-handed, I want everything to be easy and convenient type of photographers and videographers! Geeez is there any skill left in these crafts anymore? Is tech the new creativity? Are you seriously claiming that a T5 SSD is too bulky to keep up with? I would lose an SD card, way before I would ever misplace an SSD! I have the sony and the BMPCC lines and I completely understand that autofocus is not a cinema camera thing. Turn the fricking Dial/ring and obtain the proper fucus! Simply put if the cameras are doing all of the work what are you there for? What make you so unique? The way you point the camera? because it seems as if that's all some of you are doing. Lastly, no I am not the best cinematographer or photographer but I am willing to sharpen my craft through hard work with a decent-sized camera made for men with normal-sized hands that can lift heavy objects like a 7 lbs camera rig. Look at me complaining about the people that are complaining! LMAO

Really there is no competition for a film maker for 6K Pro: all built in professional monitor & XLR & ND & Pro level zebra, colors, histogram & internal raw . Carry couple of extra batteries you have nothing to complain about. Auto focus is a thing but not very very important for film/cinema guys (because the title of the video mentions Cinema Camera)

Prefiro a BlackMagic, a qualidade de imagem me agrada mais.

hello, where did you buy the fx30?

add a monitor, mount, hdmi cable and batteries to the fx30. no way you are shooting anything critical with this tiny screen!

BMPCC6K is still the KING

The 6K Pro is superior, but without auto focus, these are two different cameras depending on time. Everything about BM camera is time consuming.

The video cover says “old”. The bmpcc 6k pro is old as a Lamborghini diablo against a “new” Toyota yaris like the fx30…I’ve rent both several times. No match.

They are not in same market target, strange idea comparing this 2 cameras.🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️

I have a Blackmagic 6K OG and love it but I want to get an a7iv or fx30 as a second camera. I don’t have a stills camera but want to get into more photography BUT I also want a b camera that can run without overheating as I’ll be streaming as well so the fx30 seems to be a good b cam to my pocket. But a7iv has full frame. I need to made a decision already im driving my wife crazy lol😢😅

I am not saying the FX30 is bad, however, they call it cinema camera and they don’t even give you DCI. In my work I use DCI about 18 out of 20 times. If on top of that you are not even using native lenses that give you AF, there is absolutely no reason to go Sony if you already have the 6K Pro. Just my opinion though. Fx6 and FX9 give you DCI, so I really don’t get why the FX3 and FX30 don’t

There's a $1000 difference in price. Not much comparison when one camera costs 60% more.

Think everyone is missing the point of the video being the 'Best budget CINEMA Camera', in terms of cinema the BM is the winner by 100 miles...but in terms of simple content creation the FX30 wins any day

If you’re going there why not just use your iPhone? With built in lenses it’s better based on what you said matters to you.

Talking about autofocus when comparing Cinema cameras is a little meh don't you think? Same for the battery life. You would rig any camera the minute you want to work on any 'cinema' level project. The FX30 would need rigging too, even that top handle counts as rigging, and we all know how inconvenient it is. And you conviniently left off the image quality, dynamic range comparison between the two. Same for the codecs, (12 bit RAW capabilities, ProRes,... ) which are way better on the BMPCC, I'm not even going to start with the exposure tools, the I/O, shutter angle, audio preamps. The FX30 is convenient, and that might be enough. Unfortunately autofocus is more important to most KZfaqrs than real cinema grade image quality, which the FX30 (I own one) is NOT capable of producing compared to any BMPCC camera, not even the micro 4/3 4k one.

😎😎😎

good 10min review.

If you want internal NDs and willing to give up IBIS and AF get the FX30 If you want an easier to use camera without IBIS or AF but has internal NDs get the P6K

And the correct answer is fujifilm xh2 or xh2S.

Sigma fp 12 bit raw 4K for 1500

I gave up on the comparison when you said that it was hard to keep track of SSD cards. Seriously? Buy yourself a label gun. You don't even mention the CFAST option which give you high speed internal storage without the need to rig up an SSD. Blackmagic gives you multiple storage options that Sony doesn't. Your size comparison is also off. Sony systems have a tiny body but their lenses are huge and too expensive. The operating system on Blackmagic is the best in the industry. The large tilt screen means you don't need to spend more for an external monitor. There's built-in ND. And you have an inexpensive EVF option. Plus full BRAW recording for the best footage possible. If continuous autofocus is your only priority then sure, don't use Blackmagic. But for everything else...

I would get an panasonic gh6 5.7 k 60, no crop in 4k120 and much better image quality than sony in 4k120 t. Fx30 is like a normal kamera minus the evf and the foto capabilities. It clearly is not a cinema camery. Gh6 is best of both worlds.

If you need to shoot movies, the BMPCC6K pro is better than the FX6 and can be compared to the FX9. But if you need to shoot a blog and you don't know how to shoot without autofocus, you can buy any Sony camera.

Downsampling not oversampling

no, you dont need to crop in 4k with prores

Dude put your mic on a stand... the over modulation is hurting my ears :)

BRAW and BM Gen 5 color science is so damn nice though. Sony's color science is still a little off in terms of color grading for me, but no matter what, you're going to get an amazing image from either camera. This truly is the golden age of filmmaking where there's so many AMAZING cameras from any company out there.

So basically you are tell us to buy the sony. SMH😒 but your not telling us witch to buy. Then what's the point of the video 🤷🏾‍♂️

Sony - Lighter, Auto focus, way better battery, smaller, ready out the box, image stabilized, adjustable monitor, 10bit codec, external pro res & pro res RAW w/ Atomos Ninja V/V+ BUT RAW CROPS 😭, very small screen (coming from bm cams), does not take SSDs, cfast cards are EXPENSIVE BMPCC4K/6K - Better image quality, better colour science, internal 12bit codec, internal RAW codec, anamorphic desqueeze monitoring AND BAKED IN, comes with da vinci studio (new), false colour, BMPCC4K is CHEAP used, mini xlr ports for audio, takes SSDs, bigger/heavier body, bigger screen, fixed screen 😭, battery sucks nuggets, needs a cage (imo) BMPCC work arounds - rig your camera out, more weight = less shakes, get an external monitor, buy more batteries (they're fairly "cheap"), learn manual focus (auto focus usually isn't used in professional cinematography) For me personally I want the best image quality justifiable. I don't mind working a tiny bit harder to get a better image that can't be replicated in post. Black Magic has something that can't be replicated in post, sorry not sorry lol! You can run and gun with BMPCC as well it just takes a little more effort and a little more time. Every camera brand is so good now, almost any other camera will get you 85% of the way there, but once you reach that 85% the last 15% becomes 100% of what your chasing. And if you want it you won't be able to get it in another camera. So if you do any kind of cinematography go BM but if you don't do any cinematography or aren't looking for the best image quality/most filmic look then Sony all the way. Your life will be easier fs! Hope this helped, congrats on reaching the end, cheers x

O don't like Big cinema rigs

Dude the bmpcc4k is better than the fx 30 period who cares about autofocus

Your audio is over compressed and has to much lo end

Everyone in the comments be raging about the Sigma FP for some reason. Idk why a beta camera would even be considered after Gerald Undone absolutely destroyed that camera in a single video... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNmqZtql1JzQfp8.html

And why we need the Sony?

6k Pro A and Sigma FP as a B every time before Sony. Made in Thailand Sony feels cheap, one look at that screen and menu and I'm out. And most important - color, my god what are we even talking about...

Downsampled**

also you have to take into account, that your probably using 2 different brand lenses as well the One you used for the BM 6k Pro probably had a sharper lens, not 100% sure but you have to make sure you take that into account.. Otherwise the test is no good.. if the lens on the Sony Can't out perform the one you used in the BM then the test is really not accurate as far as the CAMERA's Sharpness... I have the FX30 and i have no problem with sharpness at all i even have a Sharpness video test posted... It works for me i love my FX30 and also i have had it on a gimbal and moved around my subjects i mean quite fast in and out and panning and the FX30 never lost focus ever.. it's amazing.. sharpness test.. Using the 18-105 F4 G Lens kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btB2fZWlvrHFk3U.html

Fx30 good battery life while shooting 4k what a joke......😂 It's almost the same with both of them KZfaqrs always goes with the crowd

Fx30 not a real cinema camera
