These two cameras compliment each other so very well. Owning both of them makes it possible to cover any video and photo need a guy could think of. With APSC lenses for the video work and FF for photos, the options are limitless! You can set them both up with the identical video settings and there is literally no difference in quality. Some people talk crap about the low light ability of the FX30, but in my experience, it’s amazing! But if you need more for the darker scenes, switch over to the a7iv and you can shoot any scene, in any lighting condition. They’re both really amazing.

Really enjoy your content! I've been watching the last couple of days and learning so much. Your style is so entertaining as well - the Black Mirror comment by another viewer is spot on. So, I'm getting started as a content creator focusing on vlogging sports, with some facility visits, interviews, practice and game/stadium content; as well as some in in-home "studio" work. Most of the content will be vlogging to KZfaq and/other soc med, but also want to be able to get some great pics. Because of the sports content focus, do you have a recommendation regarding choosing between the FX30 or A7IV?

All I have now is an a6000, if the FX30 had a mechanical shutter it would be great for me. I’ll honestly keep using my camera. I know it’s a big jump, but I’ll keep getting more lenses and when the successor to the a6xxx line comes, I’ll be there. All I want is 4k and a flip screen tbh. I’m not buying a ZVE10 just because I feel like they’re gonna come out with a better 10 bit camera next year.

Great video, but there are 2 things that should be pointed out: the dual native iso on the a7iv is 800 and 3200 which makes a big difference. Second thing is about dynamic range, on the a7iv is 15.5 rated stops, and from real world testing I can say it's a little notable compared to the fx30. Not a big deal but it should be pointed out.

Just watched this again. Such a good comparison Joe. I now own both of these and they compliment each other very well. However, I use 800/3200 on the A7IV and 800/2500 on the FX30. As long as you have plenty of light or faster lenses on the FX30, they are super comparable video quality wise. I can easily use f4 zooms on the A7IV, but I found I get the best results with fast primes on the FX30.

Great video. Slight comment is that you don’t multiply the aperture by 1.5 as said because that suggests less light. You multiply the effect in depth of field b by1.5. One of the major benefits of an APSC (super 35) sensor and subsequent lenses is that you get greater depth of field while maintaining the amount of light coming in. This means good low light yet more in focus. More keepers. Really loved the comparison and video though. Subscribed

Recording in 4K DCI helps with rolling shutter. FX30 works better with the A7 IV than the FX3 does in terms of sharpness. For this reason the FX6 may be a better choice when you need that rolling shutter performance, but you can always use 6K raw to get out the rolling shutter with an FX9.. What we are calling 8K is not 8K. 1K is 1000, but it could be binary value 1024, but it's in 16:9 aspect ratio so 1K is 1080 because both 1920 and 1080 are perfect numbers that divide by the perfect number 12. Thus 1K is 1920*1080, or 2MP. This means that when you put together four 1080p to get one 4K, and to do this process again you have to take four 4K monitors together, which is 16 1k monitors or 16K, not 8K. 8K is as similar ration to what 2K/1440p is to 1080p, 8K is 3K height. At that megapixel count you get diminishing returns.

Hey man. Been watching since the “Grow as we go…” days 😀 I’m totally stuck on which camera to get next for both, promoting my business through video and photos and starting a personal project for automotive documentaries/interviews/stories. To go on KZfaq. I have the A7iii and Sigma 24-70. For photo, I love it. But video just isn’t inspiring. Between the stabilisation and autofocus, I’m just not drawn to it. I was looking at the FX30 and A7IV. I “want” the FX3 for that epic sensor but can’t afford it. The body is so good and great for video. Prefer it to A7IV for ergonomics. But, full frame is full frame haha. Would a used A7S III perhaps be the way to go? 💁🏻‍♂️ the new ZV-E1 is an absolute fail haha. It’s about £1000 over-priced. That thing will overheat so bad. Dan Watson was literally going through the menu and it overheated! Anyway, great channel buddy!

I just thought the FX30 was a better built camera is all and was hard to ignore at it’s price. When I said the A7iii was uninspiring to pick up and film with, it was simply down to the stabilisation and autofocus in video. The ZV1 had way better autofocus and was actually more fun. That’s all. But obviously, today, we’ve come a long way so I’ll see what some more reviews say on the zve1 overheating. Cheers.
