Heavily leaning towards an FX2 right now. Bad idea?

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

DJI Mic 2 or RØDE Wireless GO 3 for outdoor videos? Also confused between FX30 and A7 IV

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

Freelancer stuck between Blackmagic and Sony need to replace my broken BMPCC 6K

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

FX30 or ZV-E1

I’m trying to decide between these cameras too, maybe the FX3 too if I find the right deal or can’t pull the trigger before an FX3 II drops and kills the used price of the FX3. Because that’s another thing you have to think about when buying an FX3 in 2026: it might soon be replaced, maybe – or mayb

Documentary filmmaking options

I’d say fx-30 as that’s what it’s made for but you could make any of them work, I guess, especially if you really need photo. Honestly, I’d choose a lens mount first. Then, I’d pickup all the accessories you need: mics and lights and whatever and then buy whatever body you can afford with the remain

Why are some comments on fx30 so vicious, is it that bad if a camera doesn't perform insane in low light? I would love to hear your thoughts on it, previous users and industry professionals.

I have used FX-30 and I liked it. The lenses you choose will have a bigger impact on your image quality. Low light performance is overrated and a strange obsession youtube reviewers have with cameras. The best bang for buck low light performance improvement is to add light to your scene. Who are the

Fuji X-H2S or Sony FX30

Have both. FX 30 for my daughter going to film school next year. The XH2s is a hybrid camera with good features for both stills and video. It is the top of the line for your use. I got if for the great rolling shutter. No cooling fan built in but the addon one works fine. The 30 has a built in fan a

Been wanting this camera for so long

I bought the FX30 because of the crop sensor. Tons of lenses to play with. Being a cinema camera, the quality is excellent and in low light with a great lens you are set as well. These cameras are the pro line of Sony. They are made to last “forever” with good care. But you only keep lenses forever.

Best video camera worth buying the MOST currently in your opinion?

Been running the Sony FX30 for a few months now and it’s basically the “I want cinema features but I’m not paying FX3 money” camera. I came from hybrid/mirrorless stuff and the difference is immediate: this feels like an actual Cinema Line tool, not a photo camera that happens to shoot video. 6K ove
