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

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

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

Can you see another brand releasing a camera that would breakSony’s stranglehold?

Personally I’m planning to replace my FX6 with a Pyxis 12K. I’ll be keeping my FX3 though because 1) AF 2) small/light/low power consumption 3) it’s essentially a more versatile FX6. I think FX3-style cameras will be super competitive moving forward. If someone can make essentially a 6K FX3 with ope

I have a fx3 but I just bought a Nikon ZR for fun 😵‍💫

  1. Did I make a dumb move buying the ZR when I already own an FX3? No, the ZR has many advantages over the FX3 like resolution, internal RAW recording and a larger display. It's also a better photo camera. At the very least, it gives you a second camera. If you don't need that well, yeah, maybe it was

FX3 or R6V

Imo the FX3 doesn’t generally would make sense in a vacuum but there is competition and Sony has allegedly registered the FX3ii which means it will probably be released soon. I think the biggest pros for the FX3 are lowlight, great autofocus, easy to edit files, full sensor 4k and also compatibility
