Cinema Line FX30

So as someone who’s owned the A7iii, A7iv & Fx30; as well as I currently own the A7S iii, Fx3 & I just picked up the Fx2 I would say the Fx2 is a really good starter. It’s essentially an A7iv or A7C ii in a cinema line body. Truthfully I don’t shoot 4k 120 often and I do a lot of commercial and docu

Well...I'd buy insurance too if you do. I picked up a used FX-30 (not the same, I know) and within a month all the physical buttons died. I could control the camera from the app, but no amount of software reset, new cards, or anything else would fix it. Sony was suggesting I send it to them. I just

Hey, I’m on fx30 with a rig and audio equipment invested into the ecosystem at this point too— first off congrats for looking into the fx line. They really are special cameras and you can’t go wrong with any of them. First off I’ll explain that s-cinetone is actually just a picture profile preset, w

For wedding photography I think you'd be better off keeping the FX30 as your A camera, especially if you rely on autofocus. The main advantage with the BMPCC 4K is the better flexibility for grading: I have an FX30 as well and while the footage is much more flexible than I feared (in terms of adjust

Don't know exactly if any other brands necessarily "match well" with Slog 3, but if i could make a recommendation I would tell you to consider investing in a Color Chart such as those from X-Rite or Datacolor. I bought a Datacolor SpyderCheckr a couple of years ago and it's AMAZING for getting a goo

I think Sony has actually been listening to feedback. Let me explain. I bought the FX3 as soon as it came out, at first people didn’t like it, they were upset it was a more expensive version of the a7siii with an audio handle. Later people praised the design, usability, and look of the FX3 and the a

Sony not creating an FX-3II is a big mistake. Nikons ZR will have the ZR pro version, will blow FX-30 away. LUMIX has some super video cams,then kineinfinity now, really interesting. Canon just came out with something… Sony is great, I’m a Sony shooter. Though for video maybe something else.

Another one of the audio options I was also looking at was the sennheiser profile wireless lavs. It has 32bit float AND locking 3.5mm ports for more secure setup (which means you could “screw in” a lav mic). With the other options like Røde pros you get 32bit but not locking lavs. Since you mentione

I agree with this; I don't have the Fuji but shot a Sony APS-C camera for about 12 years before I got an A7iii. APS-C is a great format and I may get another one of those cameras someday, but I do feel less limited (especially in low light) with full-frame. I used the A7iii for one video project and

If you're shooting the BMPCC 6K the more obvious parallel in the Sony world would be the FX 30, not the FX3. It's half the price of the FX3 but same form factor, it's just APS-C instead of full-frame. It has the same cinema features (shutter angle vs. shutter speed, Cine-EI exposure system for shoot
