Need help with camera purchase: fx30 or fx2 with steep discounts.

100% the FX2. The price difference just isn't big enough to bother with the FX30. You get full frame, an EVF, AI autofocus, a mechanical shutter, and a new, beefier fan. Since it's going to be a backup for the FX3, going with FF makes matching your shots and sharing lenses so much easier. You also w

Anyone using a a7V for a B camera?

No, but I'm using it as an A camera and FX3 as a B camera now. A7v is better in nearly every way except the fan but I've shot hours long interviews and live shows with the a7v and never had any heat warning. The only other thing is the fx3 has cineEI and shutter angle. CineEI is easily replicated wi

Canon C80/C400 vs FX3/FX6

Long time Canon shooter but I’d get Sony for sports. The C80 image is totally different than the C70, and for the worse in my opinion. It’s not a bad look but it’s definitely sharper and less organic feeling. The autofocus is a million times better though, along with other qol improvements. I see a

FX3 or A7V as someone transitioning from photos to video

Honestly the X-H2S is a great camera and in some ways has a better image/video specs than either Sony (open gate, 6K, ProRes or high data rate H265, great color). The biggest improvement you’ll notice is autofocus (Fuji AF is terrible) but the lenses are bigger and more expensive. If you do get a So

Would you rather have Autofocus or Internal ND's when filming weddings?

I would probably stray away from both cameras if I was going to shoot weddings. At the same price point, any of Lumix's line (S5II, S5IIX) would work really well. Maybe a used C70 or FX3 at the top end of your budget. An FX2 wouldn't be out of the question either. The Lumix series has the best inter

FX3/NAB News

I disagree. They can improve sensor readout, update autofocus with their latest AI tracking, improve IBIS, implement open gate, they recently filed patents for internal NDs with extremely small form factor that could possibly be implemented, as well as 32-bit float and an improved audio tophandle.

Canon C80/C400 vs FX3/FX6

Shooting a basketball doc right now with the C400, C50, and the Komodo X sometimes. The C400 and C50 are magic together and I assume the c80 as well. The codecs are beefy, the image is instantly gorgeous, and the bodies are miles above the fx6/fx3 for flexibility. The canon cinema cameras let me sho

FX3 or R6V

If you do want to shoot Sony and need to buy something now I'd get an A7V. More detailed image, better AF, better screen, better stabilization than FX3 for under $3000

Anyone using a a7V for a B camera?

If you mean for video, I'm using an A7RV (note "R", so not the A7V) for B-Cam because sometime in early summer last year DJs decided everything needs multicam. I bought the A7RV as my main photo camera to replace my Nikon D750 - after buying an FX3 for video it seemed daft to run two lens systems, a
