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

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

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.

A cinema-line Sony body from the FX6 on up in my experience are only ever needed on jobs that eclipse a certain budget or that require the camera to have a certain 'look'. While that may sound silly it is usually the determining factor for me whether I bring a mirrorless-design cinema body vs a full

The "I" Codec give you completely uncompressed footage so, inherently, it has the most detail and sharpness, period. That said, it also produces absolutely massive files. We're talking about like 13 mins of footage for something close to 7 or 10gb. Works super well in editors, since it's uncompresse

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

The price is laughable considering this is a glorified A7IV that's priced significantly more. Still no open gate, only 4K60 at S35 crop in 2025? Especially considering Lumix just dropped the S1ii e which is more comparable in price to an A7IV but gives you internal ProRes Raw, 32bit float audio, 6K

I think for me personally and just where I am in life I’d go with Sonys line of cameras. The C50 looks awesome and I’m glad that Canon is finally doing stuff like this, I even shoot canon right now. But I want to get into cinema and I think for me as someone who just graduated high school and has le

Oh well if that’s the case, buy him an fx30 and get him in divinci resolve. That way, when he’s my age he doesn’t have to spend months learning how to film before starting his own YouTube channel! I’m all for child labor, but it’s of style these days for some reason. So I can’t offer him a job. (Fx3

Here I go throwing a wrench in the works. I traded my a74 and fx-30 for the a7v. Which was not that much more expensive than the fx-2. Now here is the problem. LUMIX offers some great cameras with video specs. Though not sure if you own Sony glass? If not That maybe the way to go? Nikon also has the
