The Sony Xperia 1 VIII is the anti-flagship: headphone jack, microSD, and thick bezels in 2026 | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 inside, headphone jack outside – and it costs more than Samsung's best phone Galaxy S26 Ultra
While I assume in actuality their marketing team knows much better than me, it seems odd that they always take this big swing at the phone market with phones that have great style, but with astronomically high prices. Sony prices their phones like they do their cameras, which doesn't make a whole lo

Does this sound like a fair deal?
Looking at just numbers, it's not worth it. Honestly look at the numbers, $30/hr x 5hrs = $150. The cost of renting from your local camera store, the most newest camera (canon r5 or sony a7siii) is about that much or likely higher. You're basically working for fun or loss.

wth C300 mk III for 2999. automatically bought. crazy how quickly prices dropped.
Canon was much slower and did a lot less than Sony to jump into the "content creator" game. Had Canon provided an FX3 equivalent around the same time as Sony did they alot more people would have been shooting Canon for video now. The A7S3/FX3 did more to hook people into the Sony ecosystem than all

FX30 or FX3 or something else?
An S1ii costs less than an FX3 and outperforms it. If I didn't have Sony glass I'd take that over an FX3 or FX30 any day (I'm still shooting Sony with over 1k paid gigs done on an a7siii/FX3 so not a Panasonic shill, just being objective)

Should I upgrade firmware from 2.0 to the newest?
The newer firmware versions can break wireless and audio features on a subset of Sony cameras. These issues have impacted the A7S III, FX3 and other Sony models. Most cameras update without issue. Some do not. It is not a user issue, it's a Sony issue. The impacted cameras work perfectly on the 2.x

A7siii in 2025/September
I use it all the time, I’m shooting commercials, pilots, films and music videos with it. The A7siii will be good for another 10years. Some scenes of a music video I just shot on a GH4. Dude this camera shoots 4k 120fps 422 at night… what more do u need this camera to do? Get it and go have fun! 🤩

Sony FX3 - Still Recommended for Filmmaking?
Short answer, buy what you can afford and make something. So many people focus on gear when I would argue the focus is to tell stories and create. If you can do that, you will be able to upgrade and grow your kit in time. Long answer, the fx3 is a great run and gun camera, if you want to save some m

Cinematic motion purists
Not sure this is a 'purist' point of view, just a practical experienced shooter point of view. All this gimbal wank and rig bro's showing their 'gear' with all these useless addons a single shooter doesn't need. V-mount batteries so they can power the cheap monitor, a mattebox but no proper filters

still worth getting for video?
i’m own an a7siii, has been my camera for the last year. I am currently working with a production company that allows me to use FX6’s aswell as FX3’s. After using these cameras, i have a brand new appreciation for the a7siii. This camera seriously provides me with everything i need in a camera, and

Canon’s new FX3 competitor…the R50C: 7K internal raw & open gate recording.
That is what everyone was saying about Sony in 2019-early 2020, particularly about the long anticipated A7sIII. People were jumping ship to Canon, running to grab the R5, then in 2020, Sony brought out the A7sIII, FX6, FX9 in late 2019, and FX3 in 2021. I've been in this industry long enough (Since
