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 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

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

Canon was much slower and did a lot less than Sony to jump into the "content creator" game. Had Canon provided an FX3 equivalent around the same time as Sony did they alot more people would have been shooting Canon for video now. The A7S3/FX3 did more to hook people into the Sony ecosystem than all

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

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

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?

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
