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

For wedding photography I think you'd be better off keeping the FX30 as your A camera, especially if you rely on autofocus. The main advantage with the BMPCC 4K is the better flexibility for grading: I have an FX30 as well and while the footage is much more flexible than I feared (in terms of adjust

Don't know exactly if any other brands necessarily "match well" with Slog 3, but if i could make a recommendation I would tell you to consider investing in a Color Chart such as those from X-Rite or Datacolor. I bought a Datacolor SpyderCheckr a couple of years ago and it's AMAZING for getting a goo

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

I agree with this; I don't have the Fuji but shot a Sony APS-C camera for about 12 years before I got an A7iii. APS-C is a great format and I may get another one of those cameras someday, but I do feel less limited (especially in low light) with full-frame. I used the A7iii for one video project and

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

Yo! I would go a6700. Like you said: 10 bit color so grading is fun. It feels compact but not cheap or anything like that. It has the same sensor as the Fx30 from Sony's cinema line so the footage looks great. It is weather sealed, so while I would still be very careful with it - it's "supposed to"

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 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
