Why I Bought The Sony FX30 in 2024... instead of the ZV-E1

The best camera is the camera that meets all of your needs. For me the best camera right now is the Sony FX30. In today's video we're talking about why I bought the Sony FX30 in 2024 instead of the ZV-E1. Which is one of the many cameras I looked into before making this purchase. Sony ZV-E1, Sony A7Cii and Lumix S5ii were on the list of potential cameras to buy. The Sony FX30 even though being APS-C still won me over!

What are some things you want to know about the Sony FX30?

Make a video on your cameras settings!

I really think the photography and videography community needs to get out of the mindset of a camera that's been out for a year and a half is old. Cameras have much longer lifecycles than other tech like phones.

@StefanoLombardoYT 6 ай бұрын

I 100% agree! New doesn't always mean the best. Sure some of these AI features in these newer cameras are nice but I'd still prefer having the essentials. The A7siii, A7iv, R5 are all perfect examples of this!

True that. I still use two Canon M6 Mark ii Cameras. One for photo. And the other for video. It shoots 4K 24 & 30 with dual pixel autofocus and no crop which most newer entry level or mid canon cameras don’t even do. It came out in 2019.

I went through this same dilemma last May. Here is my opinion to help those also debating. I picked up the ZV-E1 because I shot full frame for the last 10 years and was not about to go back to APSC. I also could not justify the price of the A7siii or FX3 for my small channel. Then I borrowed a friend's FX30 to compare them. The zv-e1 completely destroyed the FX30 in low light, focus capabilities and dynamic stabilization. The zv-e1 is so clean. I made it through the summer without any overheating issues. I recently ran it indoors for 2hrs 30 minutes for an interview, stopping only to change the battery once (A7iii was the B Cam which unfortunately shuts off every 30min due to its recording limit, but no limit on the zv-e1). No issues(24fps). All of the videos on my channel since last May have been on the ZV-E1. That thing is like a Swiss Army video camera to the solo shooter. One video last summer, I was walking around randomly interviewing people. I put it in intelligent auto and it automatically focused on everyone, adjusting aperture automatically as people moved in and out of frame to talk. I recently purchased the $30 Ulanzi fan to keep in my bag just in case. I wouldn't mind the FX30 if I already had APSC glass and didn't shoot in low light often but if you only have full frame glass and want the best possible performance and video quality, the ZV-E1 is the only consideration. The reason the FX30 is "Netflix" approved and the ZV-E1 isn't, is only due to the fact that the FX30 can output raw video, ZV-E1 cannot.

I agree! The ZVE1 only has heating issues for extreme heat and 4k60 for extended periods of time. Mine has never overheated on me on 4k24

@Tonellacam 5 ай бұрын

the dual card slot is ESSENTIAL to me for pro gigs why I went with the fx30 as second cam , sure walking around interviewing people lie you say you do , no big deal your card shits the bed but if I'm getting paid to do someones wedding in NEED to know if one card shits out I have another card also recording !! I wanted the zv e1 bad but that was a no go for me about the cards , a lot of people told me that their cameras are not overheating so I don't think that is a big deal

@runningintohistory 5 ай бұрын

@@Tonellacam yeah good point. I forgot to mention that. If I was doing work that someone else paid me to do, I would have went with the Fx3 or A7siii. I was actually about to buy the FX3 but couldn't justify the extra cost for what I do at this point. I create mini documentaries and my channel is monetized but I only answer to myself. I wouldn't risk a hired gig with the ZV-E1. A dual card camera (D610), saved my ass on a photo shoot years ago when one of the cards corrupted. That is the only time in 10 years that I have had that problem but that's enough for me. But personally, if I ever decided to take hired video production gigs (and take all the fun out of what I do like I did with photography lol), I still wouldn't step back to APSC. Maybe if I had good crop glass sitting around but I left APSC in 2013 and don't see any good reason to go back.

@Tonellacam 5 ай бұрын

I've only been doing my hustle for 2 years so this is my start with apsc , I wanted the fx3 and just couldn't afford it , then I needed a second cam and again was like damn, I bought a car recently and couldn't justify getting an fx3 once again because it being double the price, I did however get a couple ff lenses knowing that someday I will get the fx3 or fx3 v2 when it comes out , bu for now been using Sony 24-70 gm on one of my fx30 and Sony 16-55 apsc lens on the other @@runningintohistory

I have the fx30 and i absolutely love it i have even started to use it as my main camera for photography as well as videography. Even though it only has a single shot (only downside in my opinion) photo mode i still have been able to take amazing sports action pictures as well as car rollers

ZV-E1 was my choice because of my full frame lens collection. It was my B-cam to my A7III. I rented A7SIII for a wedding and all did great. 4K24 with the ZV-E1 lasted for the hour during the ceremony. Recorded on and off at 4K60 during the reception for 4 hours with the Tilta fan.

… A Canon 100D is old. This, being in the market for a year and change is DEFINITELY not old. My 2020 Mazda Miata is not old - but my mother’s 2009 Toyota Tundra, that’s STARTING to get old. Gettin’ real tired of hearing that anything a year old is being framed up to be perceived as it’s 10+ years old. 😑

@@21visualzI went through the same thing last year. Ended up keeping the ZV-E1 and sending the FX30 back. Years of shooting full frame and step back down to apsc? Not for me. The ZV-E1 is better than the FX30 in low light considering noise. The zv-e1 is just sooo clean. The zv-e1 made it through summer shooting without any overheating. I recently shot a 2hr 30min interview swapping out the battery quckly in between with no issues. This was indoors at 24fps. I don't shoot long in 120 so never an issue there. I did recently pick up the $30 fan for it as a precautionary measure.

Honestly, the age of the camera doesn't matter. It doesn't. What's more important is that it does the things you love, the way you love to do them and it fits into youre prefered workflow, and you achieve the results you want. Same with computers and graphics cards... There's no need to upgrade them if they do what you need. An exception would be gamers who wish to play the latest titles at their highest quality etc.

@StefanoLombardoYT 6 ай бұрын

I checked out both the A7Siii and FX3, and they're solid choices!! But since I often crop my wide videos into vertical for socials, the 12MP from these cameras doesn't cut it for me. The FX3's low-light capabilities with its full-frame sensor are great, but I didn't see the point in spending extra just for that. If I needed a main camera, I'd probably go with the FX3. But since it's my b-cam, the FX30 has all I need in a camera at a better price!

@professionaI_yapper 6 ай бұрын

@@StefanoLombardoYT I know the a7iv's 4k is 7k oversampled and the fx30's 4k is 6k oversampled. Other than that, you can still get 1080p vertical crops from The FX3's 12mp 4k. Isn't 4k about 8.3 MP? Can you further explain how it doesn't cut it? Does oversampling benefits that much when it ends up on a compressed 1080p short?
