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

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

FX3 for documentary
Best camera out there for small ob doc IMO. I always liked Sony. First docs were shot with the Z1 which in retrospect was a terrible camera, but at the time it felt magical to go from SD to HD. Sony has a softness to it, that I can’t get with Canon. I like how it renders skin tone better and definit

FX3 price drop is inevitable right?
I think you’re missing the point that this camera is a staple in professional workflows. It’s Netflix approved, embeds the gyro data, and fits perfectly into professional color grading and color matching workflows. For many freelancers it doesn’t matter as much, but for certain studio workflows, we

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

FX30 or FX3 or something else?
A7V seems like the way to go to me. I have an FX3, A7V, C70 S1ii, and S5ii and used to have a zv-e1 as well along with a red etc. I do a lot of doc and corporate but also commercial and narrative. C70 has been my A-cam forever because I love the sensor and FX3 the camera I have because producers kno
