FX3 price drop is inevitable right?
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

New Canon Cinema Camera (thoughts)
What do you mean? As an FX3 user for 4 years, the only things I don't like about the C50 is the lack of IBIS and the RF lens ecosystem. Otherwise, it basically kills the fx3 in every way. 7k internal open gate in raw, top handle with XLR's, smaller body than C70, etc. Would love to know what makes y

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

Why the FX3 can’t be killed.
The FX3 will only be killed by the FX3ii. The camera wars are good for all of us, but most will not be bailing on their Sony investment - there’s too much time & money. https://youtu.be/MdKtUddVuB8?si=DC5Y_sutoNsV5DZU

Thoughts on Lumix S5iix for video vs what I currently use (Nikon Z8)
Hey there! Full time business photographer videographer here. Looks like you’re hitting the limit of using a hybrid photo camera for long form video. The Nikon Z8 is an incredible camera, but some would say it isn’t built for hour plus continuous recording, especially in a theater environment. Readi

Does this seem like a good deal? Its 3k for the lot
Saying an fx3 let alone an fx30 delivers a better image than a ursa g2 is so far from reality. The Ursa has one of the best latitudes for a S35 sensor, build in ND's, RAW flexibility and overall a better user interface. The image quality outperforms both the fx3 and fx30 in lab tests. Media options

When does a camera rig become “silly” rather than useful? What accessories do you think are pointless?
Easy rigs for stabilizing purposes are pointless. An easy rig is for HEAVY camera rigs to help with the weight. This is all. This is what it does. Stop using them for an FX3. Most cinema lenses are nonsense. Cinema lenses that add specific texture are the exception. I shot a commercial half on Cooke

My workflow in August 2025 for the Sony A7S III
10 years ago recording to an external monitor was a good idea if your camera didn’t record a codec with a high data rate. You’d get noise, the camera probably only recorded 8 bit, so for color grading, any cropping, or green screen work it was a good investment. Back in the 2010 DSLR days, I used th

Not sure where this fits in…. #sonyfx2
Oof. The EVF is cool but I can’t believe they’re choosing this sensor and these specs in 2025. No open gate is inexcusable IMO. And this is coming from someone who likes Sony cameras — own an FX3/6

Got a7sii and want to upgrade but… a7siii or fx3
I’ll be frank. Get siii The overheating thing isn’t an issue with a7siii. Like you have to be in the desert. You get the viewfinder and camera similar to your current without paying an extra 1000+ because of pure “hype”. Small rig is perfectly fine if you need cage because the people I know with fx3
