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

I bought the FX 30 and I don't want to open it.

I think that if you’re serious about getting on to proper sets and work your way up to DP one day, you should keep what you’ve got. The FX30 uses the same menu system as the rest of the Sony cinema line. It’ll be good to get familiar with that system, as well as becoming familiar with a proper video

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

A7V vs. FX3 for someone who already owns an A7IV

Based on your question, you said you are looking to add a dedicated video/cinema camera with good low-light performance. Personally I think adding the FX3 while also having the A7IV are a great pairing. I have an FX3 + A7CII (released between A7IV and A7V tech), and I like having a dedicated video/c

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.

When does it make sense to get a Full Frame camera? Question coming from a person who recently jumped from my iphone 14 pro to an FX30.

It all depends on your use case- each camera is unique and has its own idiosyncrasies- fx30 is apsc only with no mechanical shutter and slightly older autofocus- however it can shoot 4k 120 fps, which fx2 can’t do. The fx2 is full frame and also has dynamic active stabilization and a great evf, howe

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
