I should have listened and not went to film school

Film school is level 1. Now you're level 2: entering the real world. I suggest getting your health in order and earning money again at any job. The less time you spend looking for "industry jobs" and just get solid employment with a fair wage, the better. Chip away at your debt. Build a solid kit. I

Has the Lumix vs Sony debates have gotten weird?

I'm the tech lead at a TV production company. Recently we had to buy our own cameras for a few upcoming projects. I had free choice in what cameras had to be ordered. I could've gone with 3 FX3s or whatever else I could've wanted. Instead, I choice for one Lumix S1II and two Lumix S1IIE's. They're n

What is the thing that stands out to you the most about low budget films that immediately screams “this is a film with a low budget”?

This right here. Sound. Also lighting is more important than the camera. Sony FX3, FS7Markii image, C300MarkIII is very respectable in LOG.

Nikon's new ZR is $500 cheaper than the Z6iii

It’s a video camera. Sony was basically alone with the FX series and Nikon and Canon juste released their own. The ZR doesn’t have strong features for photography (might explain the price compared to a Z6), but I’m mostly surprised because it’s a lot cheaper than the FX3.

Why is the Sony FX3 so popular for film work?

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

I just purchased the most bashed camera of 2025

People said the same thing about the FX3 in regards to the A7SIII. Swapped my A7IV for the FX2 on day 1 and it has been worth every penny. I think a big part of the hate is that people were wanting that announcement to be for an FX3ii… Which I still don’t see why anyone thinks Sony would release an

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 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

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.
