FX30 or FX3 or something else?
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)

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

Sony fx30 overkill for (almost) first camera?
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

FX30 una Cámara Legendaria.
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

Is the upgrade from fx30 to fx3 worth it?
How important low-light shooting is for your work? I used the FX30 for about 3 years and recently switched to the FX2. If you’re considering upgrading, one benefit I didn’t expect was the added flexibility. I mostly shoot travel/documentary-style work, so I didn’t really need full frame or the cooli

FX5 Thoughts?!?
This argument is always so odd to me. The FX3 is "too expensive" even compared to Sonys own alternatives. All FX cameras are. You can have the FX3 (and even FX6) imaging system with BETTER AF for less than half the price in a ZV-E1, or at two thirds the price with a viewfinder in the A7sIII. The FX3

I want to buy 2x FX Cinema Cameras. But I don't want to record in S-log or Cinetone. Based on this, which one should I go for and does this make me stupid for considering a FX3?
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

Is the upgrade from fx30 to fx3 worth it?
First off, I'd wait a couple months. There's a Sony event in June. This could be the year it gets an upgrade. Second. I do think for doc-style it's worth the upgrade. Fx30 is noisy as hell if you don't get it right in camera. Very little wiggle room. FX3 is soooo much better when it comes to dealing

Is the upgrade from fx30 to fx3 worth it?
I have an FX3, FX30, A7V and A7IV and I’d say go for the A7V. A7V has better AF better, better Ibis, is cheaper, sharper image, allows you to import viewing luts, better screen, allows smart AF while in clear image zoom. 8000 base ISO is a lot more practical then 12,800 and having to ND or stop down

FX3/NAB News
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.
