I got the A7SIII before the FX3 was announced, and honestly... I'm cool with it. I also use the A7SIII as a stills cam, so I prefer the body. I do really covet that top handle with the integrated audio.
This is Tejas. He is inspired by Danny, like the thousands of other people who are. Back in early 2020 Tejas subbed to Danny and has never regretted it for even a day. We love you Danny.
You are the only filmmaker on youtube who I know that really transmit the vibe that gear doesnt matter and motive people to improve the craft rather than buying gear! I love your work Danny! You are a rockstar
Matt and Kim!?!? I thought there is no way this awesome band is commenting on this rad filmmakers youtube channel. haha. What a weird time we live in. I saw you two at a house show in Indianapolis over a decade ago and thought you two had something special going on. Ok... rant over.
Lol just realized you are the band Matt and Kim. You performed at my college a while back Bucknell University. I had an incredible time. You’re both incredible performers.
Haha, this "side joke" of an intro is why you're NOT just another guy talking to the camera, about the camera. Well done, and quite hilarious. Props to Anna for the spot on reenactment I'm sure 😂
Hi dany I'm French and I don't understand a word of English, but your videos speak about herself. we don't need to understand the language to enjoy your videos. you're the best youtuber and a great inspiration for many continuous people like that ( thanks google translate)
As someone who owns a C500 MKII I agree, this camera punches way and I mean way above its weight class. Since I got my FX3 I’ve use my C500 MKII less and less. If anything this camera is making me want an FX6 for those built in ND filters.
Lmao Armando. It is crazy. You started with Sony switched to Canon, and are slowly coming back. There is room for that Thanos meme in here somewhere XD
I had the same editing issues on the iMac with my a7S III. But when I switched to the M1 Mac's, the performance is night and day. Would highly recommend trying an M1 Mac.
Just use the all intra XAVC S-I codec, any decent workstation will work easily with it. And you get the absolute best image quality that the FX3 can record internally. Hope that helps.
As a student I envy people who can afford to buy the Sony FX3 just as a gimbal camera haha. I'm still trying to find it in my budget to actually buy a gimbal! Great review, Danny - and as always a great motivation!
I don't know about you being an 'average film maker', your videos are all so thoughtful and beautiful and simple, this camera review is case in point 🙌🏾.
Mine was overheating too Danny, i solved it going to “Menu / Setup / Auto Pwr OFF Temp / Set to High” Now i recorded 4K 60p and it runs out of battery before showing any warning 👏🏻
I love Danny's cons on this camera. He kind of admonishes photogs and filmmakers who concentrate more on image than content. Love it when he starts smiling and giggling. At the end, he tells us that he loves us. Amazing. The FX3 is a beast. Thank you for the review, Danny.
Best RUclips intro of the year!! I’ve watched ever single video you’ve uploaded and you always keep it filmmaker/story first and gear last, I can’t really find that on RUclips. Thank You 🙏🏾
LOVED THE INTRO. I have to confess that for over 30 years, I had a beef with Sony and vowed never to buy a Sony product ever, for simply personal reason. I know that they are very good products but it's just a personal thing. I still watched the whole video because I appreciate the way you do things. That being said, if you ever have rigging gear to sell from your C200, please let me know. And if you ever plan to visit another part of the world, I am based in Panama, been here for 15 years, from Canada, and you have a place to stay while you visit. Keep it up man, you Rock !
In the middle of deciding to get this camera or the 6kpro and have watch probably every review out there. And I have to say this was by far one of the best. Actually watched it to the end. Some great shots and very funny. Definitely got a new subscriber out of me.
We got a small piece of hose for our FX6 and wrapped it around the mice. Works really well. Love all the shots from the biking video! The Sony Tough UHS II Cards work and record all codecs on the FX6
I’ve been absolutely loving my FX3, incredible image quality and dynamic range. Working with it professionally has been a pure joy, the XLR inputs are great, it’s powerful and reliable. The value of this camera really is insane. Only downside are Sony’s Tough memory cards price tag which gets quite expensive very quickly as you’ll need a lot of them to shoot projects with the all intra 10-bit codec. But the camera itself is brilliant. Nice video, greetings - Filipe
very interesting take on that intro - love it when filmmakers put in the extra touch in pursuing an idea that sparks the inner flame to making it a reality. Great work mate!
I LOVE the first three minutes!!! SO great. I was so excited, I thought the WHOLE video was going to be like that. ALSO, you’re an *above* average filmmaker.
I'm a Z Cam user and I'm making the move just for that very reason. I kinda bought a camera for what I wish I did rather than what I actually do, music videos and run and gun stuff that needs to be done fast and move from gimbal to tripod in seconds rather than de rigging the handle, monitor etc.. great video again Danny.
Hey man I just ran into the over heating yesterday and fixed it. Set the “auto power off” setting to “high” and not standard. Makes a world of difference!
Oh and sorry to keep bothering but that mic just needs a little rubber extender and then it fits well. A nice dude posted it in my old fx3 video if you need the link. It’s an easy fix and very helpful!
@@talonsix unfortunately Sony crippled several things on this right out of the box. Once you find the right settings this camera has been awesome, but I've definitely had my fair share of frustrations. Mine was overheating in 70 degree weather in the shade before I figured out the setting. A few other random things you have to change and then it's awesome. Who knows man, who knows
Just got my FX3 and very happy so far, I was tired just like you of lugging around soo much stuff just to film. The stress about if I was missing a cable, going to run out of batteries, focusing, etc etc. My FX3 semi rigged out weights 1/3 of what my P6K rigged out did..
Surprised to hear about the overheating. I have this camera, temp setting on high and auto fan. I’ve accidentally shot 50 minute takes at 4K 120 with no warning lol! Maybe your tripod plate blocks the fan intake? I saw that on a Facebook group. Anyway! Awesome video man, fantastic intro, love the attention to detail for an intro, I can tell you had fun putting this together!!
Wow, you have had such unfortunate incidents with your cameras. I remember when you fell off the one wheel and lost the EOS R. Hope you have better luck with this Sony! Glad you're liking it!!
HAHAH , please never change. i now this is not a tipical review but never change . you are one of the five youtuber that dont make me feel anxiety for all the things that i cant have and love thats that i have (sory for mi ingles). i love you to .from argentina
I know you mentioned keeping things super small and minimal is a huge selling point for you, but something like an Atomos Ninja V would alleviate the issue you're having with sluggish files. The ProRes files from the Atomos are an absolute dream to edit with in Premiere. It might also help with the overheating! Since you wouldn't need to record internally anymore. Great video Danny!
1. That intro is GOLD - but also sad :( 2. High Temperature setting in the Sony Menu can fix early overheating (maybe not your issue, but my a7siii never overheats...) 3. Highest codec (ALL-I) will give you files that edit like butter compared to low/mid quality codecs 4. V90 SD Cards from ProGrade & Anglebird are fully compatible with ALL-I. Media for HQ video is $$$ these days 5. Congrats on the new setup! Love your content bro! Welcome to the quirks & also incredibleness of Sony
I just paused after the intro. I mean WOW!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! It was genius!!!!!! You nailed this style, I’m weirdly emotional because of it... ok now I’ll watch the rest of the review...
I very much like your reviews and this was super helpful. I am still deciding between FX3 and A7SIII since I do photography too. But I love how you are so real about this. Thanks a lot 👍🏻
Great review dude! I always love seeing your videos! I have to say though, I reallly miss those Canon colors from your early days! Anyways, love from PA!
Awesome! Sorry for my stupid question about this camera on your newer video...lol. Somehow I missed this video. FX3 is next on my list. I do A LOT of run & gun and gimbal work. I'm so used to the size of the A7Siii now and this would be perfect to pair with it when I need 2 cameras. So much easier to travel with for sure. Thanks Danny!
Love seeing all your amazing filmmaking talent but also feeling like you’re just having a casual chat with the viewer. I’m just getting into filmmaking on my phone and am really looking for a solid hybrid camera that does 4k 60 uncropped. I definitely Sony has a brighter future than Canon for how much they’ve improved their cameras over the past few years!
Man thank you. Most laid back to the point enjoyable reason I've seen so far for moving away from canon (which is a hard decision, for me). Seriously thank you dude, stay chilled. PS your vlogs are simply getting better and better.
Dude - felt like throwing on a 70's-era light blue frilly leisure suit there at the beginning. And then you dropped "girth" on us later... basically the perfect gear review vid!
9:15 Hey Danny, you can get these cheap rubber microphone spacers from Sony to make it fit! Should be on Amazon. They come in a pack of 2 and I cut away like half an inch from one of them, stack them, and now my NTG5 fits perfectly inside the XLR adapter!

Used to but now it’s medium. Upgraded to the FX6! 😃 ha

Danny, best intro I've ever seen for a camera review.
I second this statement!
Hahahah thanks bro
100% agree
Yip... Straight subscribe after that 👌🏼

Haha ay thanks so much! Appreciate that

Totally agree, the image quality of the FX3 is absolutely beautiful. The value of this camera is incredible.
You are the reason why I like Mondays.
agreeed!!!
Hahaha glad I could bring joy to the start of your week
thanks you for all the content, sending love
This is the production value we need.
Thank you man!
This is the production value we need - AND deserve!
I’m only at 2:10 and this is already becoming one of my favorite RUclips videos ever
Agreed
Hahaha aw man. Thank you! Pumped you’re enjoying my dumb humor
@@DannyGevirtz haha I absolutely do! Your video have inspired me in many ways. It’s great to see you being you
“Yeah dude, we’re shooting a movie... with me...” 🤣😂🤣 That killed me!
Hahaha man I can’t stand it when I get heckled by peds
That was 4 days well spent on the intro....Best intro ever...totally getting Wes Anderson vibes. :)
Thanks Brian!
I had the same editing issues on the iMac with my a7S III. But when I switched to the M1 Mac's, the performance is night and day. Would highly recommend trying an M1 Mac.
Just need to use proxies, then you can edit on virtually any machine super fast, no matter the codec/resolution
Just use the all intra XAVC S-I codec, any decent workstation will work easily with it. And you get the absolute best image quality that the FX3 can record internally.
Hope that helps.
Just use Davinci Resolve and ur set
True! I'm using M1 16gb with Resolve, editing 4k RAW from BMPCC4k with no problems at all.
It’s clearly a software issue. You guys are on macs. Just stick to FCP 😅
Premier can barely function on my MBP, FCP edits 4K fine
As a student I envy people who can afford to buy the Sony FX3 just as a gimbal camera haha. I'm still trying to find it in my budget to actually buy a gimbal!
Great review, Danny - and as always a great motivation!
use a steadicam instead and you will be so happy ;) no need to buy new, little different look, will never break or die ;)
I’m just reading the Kubrick bio. He started out with the basics; so it’s not the tech, it’s the imagination.
Holy cow! I thought I was going insane when I heard my name on one of your videos- nope- it was real life! Loved this one too!
Hahahaha thanks for feeding my content man!
I don't know about you being an 'average film maker', your videos are all so thoughtful and beautiful and simple, this camera review is case in point 🙌🏾.

Matteo Bertoli and fans are going to have an aneurysm about autofocus being used for that entire documentary 😂
agree on the colors. since the a7siii all these new Sony's shoot beautifully.
best intro ever. i opted out once the review started... but watched the intro twice. gold.
Can't wait to get it! Thanks for the review Danny
Well said! I got one recently too, and as a mostly solo filmmaker, the FX3 has made my life SO much easier. Love your work!
Hands Down best intro to a review ever! Told a story and had me interested! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
This is the BEST review ive ever seen for the camera I have! Keep bringin more content! I love it! Especially your custom luts!
Perfect camera to own and do smaller productions and still fits as B-Cam if you rent out an FX6 or FX9 on bigger productions. Love it since day one!
Best RUclips intro of the year!! I’ve watched ever single video you’ve uploaded and you always keep it filmmaker/story first and gear last, I can’t really find that on RUclips. Thank You 🙏🏾
Haha thank you man
Sounds like your Canon drop and crash and funeral was a blessing. "I've become a better filmmaker..." Perfect.

This review video seems like a biography movie of Sony fx3, well done Danny appreciate your efforts.💛✨
3:20 this was the moneyshot! HOLY HELL this is freaking amazing!
I love your simplicity, not trying to fan/trash talk. Thank you, it's good to have you tell the simple truth :).
I’ve been absolutely loving my FX3, incredible image quality and dynamic range. Working with it professionally has been a pure joy, the XLR inputs are great, it’s powerful and reliable.

Intimate and super creative with it, don't ever change friend.
Just purchased your LUTs man! Super excited to try them out. Thanks so much for all the inspiration and love, always
very interesting take on that intro - love it when filmmakers put in the extra touch in pursuing an idea that sparks the inner flame to making it a reality. Great work mate!
Thanks Jimmy!
I LOVE the first three minutes!!! SO great. I was so excited, I thought the WHOLE video was going to be like that. ALSO, you’re an *above* average filmmaker.
Haha thanks Karly!
Bro props that intro. Never seen you in my life Just got recommended your video and that intro got me hooked to your video
Dude, I can listen to you talk for hours about grass and I would love every gosh dang second of it! Every video you do is my cold stone gotta have it.
Haha thanks so much!! Lol!
I just purchased the FX3 for my first ever doc and it's a relief to see you gave it a good review lol I love you too Danny

Hey man I just ran into the over heating yesterday and fixed it. Set the “auto power off” setting to “high” and not standard. Makes a world of difference!
Also with the Pro Grade v90 cards I have all of the shooting settings available - so you don’t need the Sony cards
Oh and sorry to keep bothering but that mic just needs a little rubber extender and then it fits well. A nice dude posted it in my old fx3 video if you need the link. It’s an easy fix and very helpful!
Yes set the Auto Power Off to High. It’s not in the same menu subset as fan. And fan on Auto as you have it.
This! I was totally wondering the same exact thing - overheating with this camera is pretty dang rare.
@@talonsix unfortunately Sony crippled several things on this right out of the box. Once you find the right settings this camera has been awesome, but I've definitely had my fair share of frustrations.

Whenever i watch your videos I smile Danny, Just thought I'd let you know. Ordered my FX3 tonight.
This is the most refreshingly honest review I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you.
Just got my FX3 and very happy so far, I was tired just like you of lugging around soo much stuff just to film. The stress about if I was missing a cable, going to run out of batteries, focusing, etc etc. My FX3 semi rigged out weights 1/3 of what my P6K rigged out did..
Sansa short film ❤️ and now this, that intro was perfect haha the reenactment was so hilarious. We don't deserve you Danny, you're out of this world 😭
The chill vibes of Danny are plain awesome. Love your videos man!
Really love your way of dealing with things.
You're my favorite storyteller on youtube, your videos are some of the only ones I put on and don't zone out but actually watch them
Thanks so much!
The four days spent on the intro were worth every second!!
love the storyline on this one! On another level
Awesome review mate, seems a like a cool 'little/small form factor' cam for sure !!
Loved going from my C200 to the BMPCC6K for that reason :).
That intro was clutch!!!!👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I always enjoy watching your videos, I normally play them more than once. Keep up the great work, its so genuine.
Thanks so much man! Appreciate the double play!
Love the music choices!! Beautiful voice over, love the choice of wordplay. Music to my ears. Great video. RIP Danny’s C200 :(
Thanks Angelo!!
Oh my god, that scene with the dog in the dark room was amazing!!
okay wait that intro was the best thing i have ever seen on a camera review ever
This is the best camera review I've ever seen! Great work Danny.
best camera review yet, you're a paradigm shift brother keep it up!
Surprised to hear about the overheating. I have this camera, temp setting on high and auto fan. I’ve accidentally shot 50 minute takes at 4K 120 with no warning lol!

My favorite review of the FX3 so far! Makes me glad I pressed the buy button on it earlier today. 👍🏻
Really glad I have discovered you Danny, just a really cool laid back approach to explaining to what I need and in a very humorous way ! thanks :)

4. V90 SD Cards from ProGrade & Anglebird are fully compatible with ALL-I. Media for HQ video is $$$ these days

i swear to god if this review dosen't go viral we’ll make it so😳🤩love ya Danny
Haha thanks Seth!

Intro had me rolling Danny. You're hilarious and genuine - I always appreciate your content
I know you don’t do gear reviews a lot, and you don’t like talking about gear. But when you do it’s my absolute favorite. Love the creative intro btw!
Hahaha maybe I’ll do it slightly more often
Your the man, feel the humbleness and passion
I was already wondering where Danny was, 😄 We missed you buddy. Thank for the review and cheers from Venezuela. 🤓👍🏻

you are my favorite youtuber, I had learned a lot from you and I can Say without doubt that your videos have changed my life
9:15 Hey Danny, you can get these cheap rubber microphone spacers from Sony to make it fit! Should be on Amazon. They come in a pack of 2 and I cut away like half an inch from one of them, stack them, and now my NTG5 fits perfectly inside the XLR adapter!
