Disclaimer** KZfaq Compression has decided its out for blood, and the noise/banding in this video only happens after upload, however, I didn't want a good video to go to waste, I'll leave a link if needed for a higher quality upload on vimeo. Also THIS IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC TEST, these are just MY thoughts comparing this camera to others, if you want more accuracy, you know where to get Undone, respectfully

Knowing that it could work to shoot below the lower base ISO and that noise in the shadows may be cleaner opens up your choices. But, doing so may affect your highlights. Still, knowing that shooting outside the base ISOs can work is important information. Thanks for encouraging using lights for your videos/films. I hear so many people complaining that cameras aren't performing as well as they THINK they should. As if cameras are meant to be used without lighting. For me, I am happy with the FX30. Despite the sensor size, I've been able to get amazing footage out of it. Regarding noise, I find that reducing the chroma noise in post alone goes a long way in creating a cleaner image. It also makes the image more film like since film stock does not have chroma issues in grain. I can use Resolve's NR tools to remove chroma noise and slightly reduce 'regular' noise with little affect on the quality of the image itself. Great content as always. Cheers.

1:31 i'm sorry but i've been an expert in low videography and 20 years in low light photography for weddings and the theory about low light dynamic range at lower iso than the base iso is flawed. If you punch out the exposure and use an F 1.8/ lens you can see how the gamma will increase to 1.4 instead of 1.2 resulting clearer video and more crisp resolution. The FX30 as you can see makes the subject in the lower ISO setting smile more while the base ISO at 800 makes him feel more sad. At this point you have realised that i have no clue what im talking about and im just wasting your time reading all of this. By the way nice review

If you need more light in low light situations try full frame lens on aps-c fx30 using a metabones speedbooster, known as focal reducers. It will increase your light coming in by a stop as well as times your focal zoom range by 0.74x. Work with primes as well. I just love the small form factor especially doing run and gun jobs.

Hey, did you notice the different white balance in each camera even when you set that on the same value? I have noticed it when I was matching my footage from A7 IV and A7S III. Why is that happening? 5600 WB should be 5600 not 5000 if you know what I mean.. This is pain and Sony doesn't do anything about it..

Hi Kofi, Great channel. I have a question for you. I am doing an interview in 2 weeks with the FX30. I want to expose for black skin tones. Person I am interviewing is a Black Priest. Normally on the FX30 I only go a stop over and slap on a Phantom LUT. I have plenty of light so I can stay at ISO 800. What are your recommendations. Trying hard to get this right and I am kind of fresh on the video end of things. Cheers, Sean

Mannnn. You’re a week early my first video of feb is exposing for darker skin , if I remember correctly , skin exposure is 48-55% IRE, to be safe (and reference to other Cine ei videos if you’re using it) id maybe go for 48-50% on Cine ei 200/400 for more shadow detail, use your zebras to make sure you’re there 👍🏾 also don’t be afraid to use light, but make it soft ! And if you’re in a big space, I might warm it up like a littttle bit, idk that’s just a personal touch
