Just bought the Sony FX3 and a SD card.

Can’t use a Panasonic card in a Sony. The data will fall out. Sorry bud! Gotta return the FX3.

F1 was filmed on an FX3 Sensor, iPhone 15 Pro Camera, DJI 4d and Sony Venice 2

It doesn't mean buying an FX3 is a passport to greatness, but Sony are great at selling the "dream", rather than just camera bodies. The truth is basically any large sensor camera cut down or in a box format could have been adapted to work here. A few years ago it would have been the Blackmagic Micr

A7V - Discussion

Hmm nikon and lumix seem more relevant in a number of ways. Sony is still all about a7siii and fx3/6.

Not sure where this fits in…. #sonyfx2

Oof. The EVF is cool but I can’t believe they’re choosing this sensor and these specs in 2025. No open gate is inexcusable IMO. And this is coming from someone who likes Sony cameras — own an FX3/6

When does a camera rig become “silly” rather than useful? What accessories do you think are pointless?

Easy rigs for stabilizing purposes are pointless. An easy rig is for HEAVY camera rigs to help with the weight. This is all. This is what it does. Stop using them for an FX3. Most cinema lenses are nonsense. Cinema lenses that add specific texture are the exception. I shot a commercial half on Cooke

Hell no. If it's $3,300+ and doesn't do uncropped 4k60 AT LEAST they shouldn't even release it or they should fix it with firmware or drop the price considerably. It's gonna bomb immediately and you might as well just get an FX3 at that point. How tf is a newer screen, newer chip, AI autofocus, and

Considering trading FX6 for FX3

And now you have FX3 owners ready and willing to swap for what you have. You might be going from STEAK to LIVER but it’s your use case and portability needs that you must consider. Just showing up with an FX6 somewhere trumps walking in with an FX3 and some lower end REDs 😂. You’ll be perceived to b

Bluetooth/WiFi malfunction after new update

The newer firmware versions can break wireless and audio features on a subset of Sony cameras. These issues have impacted the A7S III, FX3 and other Sony models. It seems that Sony changed key hardware components during production. The newer firmware versions don't fully support cameras with the alt

My first cinema camera!

I’ve been a canon shooter for most of my life and have 2x c400s now. When the mk2 came out I was surprised how little it got used on bigger sets. Sony seems to be the leader but honestly my c400s are better than any of the Sony cams in the mainstream. I’ve shot with the fx9, fx6, and fx3. It’s all t

FX3 or A7V as someone transitioning from photos to video

Honestly the X-H2S is a great camera and in some ways has a better image/video specs than either Sony (open gate, 6K, ProRes or high data rate H265, great color). The biggest improvement you’ll notice is autofocus (Fuji AF is terrible) but the lenses are bigger and more expensive. If you do get a So
