Cinema Line FX30

I think Sony will always separate iNDs for their flagship cine camera bodies. If they put IBIS + iNDs into the FX5, there would be 0% reason for anyone to buy a Burrano. Currently, the price ladder exists:IBIS (no iNDs): FX30 + FX3 + FX5iNDs (no IBIS): FX6 + FX9IBIS + iNDs = Burrano You can bet your

It’s all quality of life improvements at the end of the day. I would assume all of us here are trying to tell a good story. You can tell an amazing story with a camera that came out five or even 10 years ago. The FX5’s image doesn’t automatically tell a better story. The RAW recording doesn’t automa

An S1ii costs less than an FX3 and outperforms it. If I didn't have Sony glass I'd take that over an FX3 or FX30 any day (I'm still shooting Sony with over 1k paid gigs done on an a7siii/FX3 so not a Panasonic shill, just being objective)

Saying an fx3 let alone an fx30 delivers a better image than a ursa g2 is so far from reality. The Ursa has one of the best latitudes for a S35 sensor, build in ND's, RAW flexibility and overall a better user interface. The image quality outperforms both the fx3 and fx30 in lab tests.

I just got asked the same question an hour ago by an intern who's heading to Film School in the fall. I recommended a Sony Fx 30 w/ Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8. I put together a whole kit for him HERE (w/ amazon links because that's where he wanted to shop).

Same issue on FX3, FX30, Burano... Sony doesn't want you to use anamorphic unless you're using a Venice and paying them a license for anamorphic firmware. There are other quirks you might encounter shooting anamorphics on Sony bodies, but don't expect them to fix them

My fx30 was my first proper camera and it definitely was way more camera than I needed, but I grew into it. I knew it was the camera I wanted, so I adapted to it, but it took about a year’s worth of study and practice with concepts like exposure, bit rate, frame rate, shutter angle, color grade/s-lo

For multicam, single operator work I’d strongly recommend sticking with cameras with similar if not identical interfaces to reduce the odds of operator error. So fx3/fx30 makes sense. Another tidbit is check out the Sony Monitor & Control app. It allows you to “monitor and control” up to four Sony c

IMO buy used. You don’t have to spend $2k to get started. Go on MPB, KEH, or Adorama and find something in your price range. Ideally pick up a quality non-kit lens (even a nifty-50 would be better than a kit lens imo), and get to learning. If you’re trying to do primarily video you’ll eventually wan

Speaking from my own experience, I can tell you that the Sony FX30 is absolutely worth it in 2026—and rest assured, it will remain worth it for a very, very long time to come. To address the commentary currently being generated regarding the feature sets of cameras from other manufacturers—such as P
