FX3 price drop is inevitable right?
I don’t foresee a price drop coming until a new model is announced. The fx3 is still on top because it’s good enough to be relevant and they seamlessly slot into productions at every level - from entry level videography to Venice sets that just want one more angle, (like a crash cam), and everything

Which rig would allow me to get “The Office” style zooms while filming?
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

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

Is it better to shoot with a higher ISO, or use lower ISO and raise the exposure in post-production?
12800 ISO on the Sony FX3 is a native ISO so if you're in a low-light situation it's probably best to use 12,800. And then in post can adjust exposure some more if you have to. Personally if 12,800 is still too dark overall you might want to start adding some lights to the scene.

New Canon Cinema Camera (thoughts)
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

FX3 price drop is inevitable right?
If I’m not mistaken, the FX3 is still one of the most popular cameras on the market (in the top 5 on Amazon, I believe) - so, sure. Maybe there’s cheaper (better? Up to you!) alternatives around, but until Sony releases the mark 2, or something else drastic happens, I would imagine the price staying

wth C300 mk III for 2999. automatically bought. crazy how quickly prices dropped.
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

Need help with camera purchase: fx30 or fx2 with steep discounts.
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 was eyeing on RED V Raptor XE but then I saw FujiFilm Eterna
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
