Alpha FX3

Sony had a head start in the mirrorless video market, and pretty much became the default. The FX3 and FX30 are some of the cheaper dedicated "cinema" cameras (even if they're more of a stills form factor). They have good upgrade paths, with the FX6 and FX9 using the same colour profiles and lens mou

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 FX3/FX6 or Canon C50/C80/C400. Travelling with bigger cameras, especially those that require a bit of putting together, is a pain in the ass. Not impossible, of course, but having done a bit of travel work (and shot many music videos that could easily have been shot on an FX3 with no compromise

Because imo, you’re gonna end up wanting the FX3 - but then you’ll have to flip your 13yr old cinema camera (probably at

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

What on earth are you talking about? This curb stomps an FX3, as it should after such a long amount of time. I say this as a Sony shooter too.

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
