What is the thing that stands out to you the most about low budget films that immediately screams “this is a film with a low budget”?

This right here. Sound. Also lighting is more important than the camera. Sony FX3, FS7Markii image, C300MarkIII is very respectable in LOG.

Downgrading FX6 to FX3

I know the FX6 has some cine body niceties like internal ND, SDI, etc, but I view the FX3 as basically a full sibling to the FX6 that embraces slightly different compromises. I don’t think of it as a lower tier really… FX3You lose internal ND, but you gain stabilization. You lose some ports that a

Which Sony camera for indie filmmaker?

Any of the Sony FX cameras. You have a bunch of options and prices but they all give you roughly the same image. At that point its things like lens and memory cards that dictate video quality, and quality of use (real buttons) that dictate price. I don't think the FX30 is approved for netflix if tha

Apple Testing 200MP iPhone Camera That Could Ship Next Year

Mostly larger pixels which means better low light performance. Not really. It's the sensor area that allows for better low light performance. A larger sensor has more area for photons to hit, which means it collects more light for each photograph. Assuming the same basic sensor tech across multiple

I just sold all my Sony equipment for LUMIX. Best decision I have made.

Love to see this ! I met a fellow freelancer over the weekend in passing, and they scoffed when I mentioned I was shooting with an S5II. Or course it was a Sony user…of course he had an FX3. Listen, I started shooting on Sony cameras over 15 years ago. Transitioned to Canon 5 years in, and then a fr

Can a6700 plus Sigma 18-50 f2.8 handle dark rave videos

Funny enough both of these videos were recorder on a fx3 with the 14-24mm Sony gm that’s usually how they get these clean shot with everything in focus and no noise. I would opt for rec709 or s Vientiane with your setup

Torn between two cameras!! Sensor size, low light, and post cleanup?

I guess we'll agree to disagree for the most part. I get why you're skeptical. I just remember hearing in a CES interview or something of the sort Sony's explanation of why they didn't label many of their cameras as dual native ISO and it was due to them reserving that label for cameras that match t

Why are some comments on fx30 so vicious, is it that bad if a camera doesn't perform insane in low light? I would love to hear your thoughts on it, previous users and industry professionals.

I've used the FX30 for everything from filming concerts in dark clubs to documenting US Air Force operations. Its a stellar camera. Its a great compact size that is a great platform to be rigged out for bigger productions. There are decades of S35 cine lenses that can be adapted to it and it has jus

Best Camera for low light?

I suppose it depends on your definition of "night and day" - my Nikon D750 was missing focus but part of that might have been due to miscalibrated/dropped lenses. It was fine in good light. In the dark the A7RV isn't much better. It is a huge improvement, and along with using an FX3 for video and it
