Alpha FX3

The Office was shot on Sony broadcast style cameras, I think the SRW9000? These are 2/3” CMOS with a B4 mount common to most broadcast cameras. The lenses used on these kinds of cameras are often extreme focal ranges, like 8mm-120mm, and usually are par focal, allowing those crash zooms to be extra

Sony ZV-E1. You can buy used ones for less than $1500. Camera has the same low light sensor as the A7Siii/fx3.

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

I'm curious what people's thoughts are on this. To me: 6.9K open gate is quite nice, especially if you need different exports. Open gate to C400 is a nice addition too, something the Sony ecosystem is missing. Supersampling to FF 4K is nice, rather than pixel binning or cropping. 6400 ISO is a sweet

Well, if we're dreaming: Sony FX3 size L mount 24mp stacked sensor IBIS Panasonic levels of active stabilization built-in EVND filter great AF - at least Nikon levels of performance 6k open gate at 60fps uncropped downsampled 4k120fps dual CFe card slots support for external recording to SSD over US

Fair, a really well seasoned opinion. But if you’re looking at it from the perspective of how people actually use these things in the wild, you're missing the forest for the trees. Consumer S35 cameras are not getting the high end features. The manufacturers are trying to upsale you. Is that shitty?

Sony a7siii and fx3. Dual iso for the win.

Also keep in mind that the FX3 has a 1:1 readout in 4k and the Canon is line skipped. Common misconception about the FX3 (and α7S III, ZV-E1, FX6 that use the same sensor). These cameras actually create their UHD 4K from a ~4.2K oversample, i.e. the full width of the sensor. The Canon oversamples fr

I posted this link in another comment thread but I think it's worth putting here for visibility. it's from the DIT on The Creator and it walks through all the struggles they had trying to scale a prosumer camera up to a $70m production. none of these would be an issue for a solo filmmaker or a low-b

Get an A7Siii used. Best deal by a mile. Especially if they toned down the noise reduction (not sure if they did this though). That higher second native ISO of 12,800 on the FX3, A7Siii, and ZVE1 makes a large difference. Between the FX30 and FX2 definitely grab the FX2, you can save money buy getti
