Alpha FX3

Hi u/Flauwerikrutten To clarify, the internal recording on the FX3 applies noise reduction that's tied to the specific codec and bitrate being used internally, which also includes some sharpening. Sony's High ISO NR setting is fixed to Normal in most modes, and it's automatically disabled entirely w

The issue is just how much sony users glazed the FX3 for so long even when it went up in price despite offering less features than comparative cameras and tryint to force the narrative that you can't get or will actively find it harder to get work if you don't use sony all to protect their own brand

I think Sony will always separate iNDs for their flagship cine camera bodies. If they put IBIS + iNDs into the FX5, there would be 0% reason for anyone to buy a Burrano. Currently, the price ladder exists:IBIS (no iNDs): FX30 + FX3 + FX5iNDs (no IBIS): FX6 + FX9IBIS + iNDs = Burrano You can bet your

It’s all quality of life improvements at the end of the day. I would assume all of us here are trying to tell a good story. You can tell an amazing story with a camera that came out five or even 10 years ago. The FX5’s image doesn’t automatically tell a better story. The RAW recording doesn’t automa

I don’t foresee a price drop coming until a new model is announced. The fx3 is still on top because it’s good enough to be relevant and they seamlessly slot into productions at every level - from entry level videography to Venice sets that just want one more angle, (like a crash cam), and everything

Feels like a step sideways rather than a step up. No joystick? No photography? Priced like an FX6? Open gate is raw only? Inferior Venice style menus? The A7S3 and the FX3 were prosumer grade cameras for everyone, but the FX5 is more of a niche pro cine cam. Not the best for the massive customer bas

The Office was shot on Sony broadcast style cameras, I think the SRW9000? These are 2/3” CMOS with a B4 mount common to most broadcast cameras. The lenses used on these kinds of cameras are often extreme focal ranges, like 8mm-120mm, and usually are par focal, allowing those crash zooms to be extra

He’s correct. Sony especially the fx line holds their value extremely well. I sold my fx3 months ago for about $700 less than what I bought it for.

Can’t use a Panasonic card in a Sony. The data will fall out. Sorry bud! Gotta return the FX3.

12800 ISO on the Sony FX3 is a native ISO so if you're in a low-light situation it's probably best to use 12,800. And then in post can adjust exposure some more if you have to. Personally if 12,800 is still too dark overall you might want to start adding some lights to the scene.
