That's the big question that I was hoping you'd answer more - what are the benefits of the FX3 over the FX30? The FX30 looks like a great 2nd camera if you shoot an FX3, but it would have been great to hear more about the differences. I guess that's why I'm looking to Gerald Undone now too!! Still, good vid, thank you.
I've been shooting with Sony for the last 5 years mainly with the A6300 for 4 years till it died few months back and upgraded to the Sony A7IV. In my opinion this camera is great as B camera for hybrid shooters like me as I was thinking to get another APSC camera to replace my beloved A6300. The price is very good just for the body so, I will definitely buy this one as still got APSC lenses and is a good addition for my freelancing work as B camera.Great video by the way!!
I think it is not necessarily for every content creators, but for those that want to go more into filmmaking that exceeds tiktok. Especially if they know that they want to go in steps and upgrade to more expensive cinema cams. They can even keep it later as a B cam after they upgrade and easily match. On top if they already know they want to upgrade at some point they can go a little cheaper on the body and use the saved money into accessories like monitors cf exporess cards that they can keep and still use when the upgrade.
Considering that the gap really is between the a6600 and the fs5, there's really a place for this APS-C camera. The smaller sensor has its advantages, and now we have a more affordable option with more information and active cooling. I already have lenses for APS-C, and if I get enough projects to justify the purchase I'll go for it.
This is my situation. I have an fs5 with inferno and an a6300 as my bcam. It's time to upgrade that a6300 and this is the camera for me as I have the lenses already and just want something else that can give me 10bit 4k, unlimited run time and other features.
I am still playing with the original Nikon Z6 shooting ProRes over HDMI on a Ninja V but I’m thinking of getting the Sony FX30 or FX3 (since Sony makes the video chip for both and I ASSUME the color science would be the same… ?) but I wonder which Sony would produce output similar to the Nikon Z6 or does a Ninja V for each make the moot???
Ah, exactly what I’ve been waiting for as far as b-camera. I wanted to get a 2nd FX3 but couldn’t afford it. But this one I can definitely afford. Thanks for the review! Gonna order it now.
@@oldmanhendo7183 I love it! The image quality matches my FX3 and I ordered it at the initial pre-order time of 10pm at the end of Sept so I got mine on 10/22
@@firstandlastproductionsllc that’s awesome, glad to hear you like it. Quick question for you: I’ve seen a few people in the comments on other videos that said they didn’t like it because they said the quality was bad due to high noise in all lighting conditions. Have you noticed this at all with your footage? I always take everything with a grain of salt when reading people RUclips comments lol
@@oldmanhendo7183 Yeah, I've been seeing that, too on other RUclips Videos. So basically the higher the ISO the more noise you'll get, which is true for all cameras. The Dual Base ISO for the FX3 works great at 2500 and 12800. But the Dual Base ISO for the FX30 works great at 800 and 2500. Those are the numbers I use for my low light situations. And this is the video that helped me understand the low light situations for the FX30 during weddings ruclips.net/video/jPesVy2Dfok/видео.html
Thanks for the preview Jared! Definitely tough decision between the two. Even though one is full frame and the other is APS-C, the price factor is another huge deal breaker. Wish i had this camera back in 2016 as i could have spend the extra money left over on lenses. I purchased the a7Sii back then for $3,000.00 and today, new filmmakers can get an FX30 for just $1,800 bucks!!!
Shout out to my friend Stephen for the color grading on this video. I honestly can't tell the difference between this and the Fixes shot on the Canon R5.
@@joaquinnolasco5210 The greenish is ever so slight here, and the overall color grading is beautiful, I agree. Would buy Stephen's step by step guide here 🙂
I think this is a great second camera, the zv-e10 is a great first camera and this will be a great upgrade, which allows you to keep using the apsc glass.
As someone who's been shooting RUclips videos for over two years on my Sony ZV-1, the new FX30 was an insta-buy. I have it on preorder already, along with the Sony 11mm f/1.8 lens (my first prime). Since I'm going to be vlogging and recording travel videos, this ticks all the boxes for me. Thanks for the comparison. Cheers!
I struggle to find reasons FX30 is competing with R7. It is going after GH6 XH-2S, and a super upgrade for ZV-E10. R7 is a photo first camera with good video spec for its price. In order to justify the older CMOS
I don’t think the FX30 is competing with any hybrid camera. It is competing with video cameras like Black Magic. It’s really just a video camera, but because of that clarity of design it is far better for its intended and singular purpose, video, than any hybrid. Hybrid cameras are compromised by design and principle. I’ve come to the conclusion that I rather shoot two systems dedicated and set up for either stills or video.
I use the fro pack to help me edit my thumbnails. Love it! Really makes every pic I take look more professional. Only thing is I usually have to tweak it for my skin tone
Well said that the FX30 is not a good beginner camera. It’s just as advanced as the FX3 function wise and will be costly when all the necessities are added. The FX30 is a pro video machine with ergos made for video, something where no hybrid can really compete. That it pairs with compact and light super35 lenses means it is easier to bring along a dedicated stills camera. Perhaps a film medium format camera like a Mamiya or Hasselblad. Or with a digital medium format like the X2D. The ZVE10 or Nikon Z30 are much better for someone starting out.
I have a FX3 and this was great because I have a Fujinon MK lens I love that Super 35 on the new FX30. So now I have an excellent A & B camera now! My A74 is backup, and pictures or 3rd if I'm doing a 2-person interview.
I wish I can buy the XLR handle and use it on the a7iv. Honestly I am blown away by the fx30. I am a full-time videographer and video editor. I do photography but mostly video. I may consider the fx30 since the fx3 isn't a current option and I'm newly going into the Sony system. With phone dominating the market, which aren't full frame of course, I believe nobody today will care if you have a full frame or not as long as the quality is good. Never had the chance to work on film systems such as red or arri, however have some experience on c 300 mark 2 as a film camera. For a professional who can't afford the fx3 I am considering the fx30, mostly for the facts that you don't need a cage, the fan, tally lights, and the xlrs. My dream camera is actually the fx6 or fx9 for film. However I might have to stick with the a7iv. Too much details here and there that are holding me back. I'm used to Canon. But don't have my own gear yet. Did you say the hdmi out is full size or smaller like canon bodies?
Already have the a7S III, but was aiming for a 2nd camera. This one goes beyond 2nd camera into being x2.05 at 4K@120fps for ultra macro (x5 becomes 10x!) and ultra telephoto (600mm becomes 1230mm!).
I was in thoughts of getting the canon r7 as i already own a few canon lenses and I wanted something better for my filmmaking as work has finally started to pick up, i thought the sony fx30 looked so cool and i also wanted to get it just for the aesthetics alone xD but since i already have canon lenses it was too big a step, or so i thought... once i head the news about canons decision to ban third party companies from producing lenses for their R mount i decided i'm gonna go with sony and get the fx30 I don't want to be "forced" to either buy their lenses (which i might have done anyway) or not have any lens to buy, i want to have my options as a consumer, and not be led on a one way path with no other choice Canon literally drove me and a bunch of other people away from their products even tho we've always been canon fanboys, I wonder if anyone else shares our thoughts
I was saving up for the FX-3 and I really stretched for that, like, I'd buy that and nothing else, adding to my already existing full Sony line. Wanted a cine camera with those 120fps and all the rest of the goodies. But now this FX30 will give me the same and I'll have money left to get some more lenses. So my answer is yes, buyin'!
So for someone looking to get a new camera strictly for video to replace my old Canon M50 would this be recommended more than the A7C? I was about to pull the trigger on the A7C
The video with the new FX30 looks so much better than the a7IV, really, more crisp. You should made a comparative with Fujifilm Xh2-S. Regards, nice video.
It's very tempting, but I might wait and see what the a7R V will look like. I shoot both video and photo, purely as a hobby. The FX30 doesn't even have a mechanical shutter, so it's nothing like a hybrid. Otherwise it's very attractive, I don't mind the crop factor for video, and smaller lenses means smaller gimbal.

the fx3 is $4000 the fx30 is $2000 , that's persuasive if you are price point sensitive , and if you have serious video centric ambitions or applications , I would like to see you set up a fully kitted-out static rig and price everything for the fx30 , and absolutely that's my needs
R5 colours look a lot better on your skin and i think it's also sharper but seems like a cool little camera for people who want a sony camera or can't afford the fx3 i guess
Fro! Never thought I would see a Sony APSC Cinema camera, I have used the FX3 a lot for work and thought it was as low end as Sony would go with their 'cinema' line. Do you think Sony will put out a new APSC sills camera or are they done? I love my a6000.
In my opinion this camera is going against the BMCC 4/6k, which is a bomb of camera and a lot of film makers love. It's a different product, but the price is there. I personally think that the Lumix S5 would still be a better choice for hybrid shooters.
not finished with the video as of writing this but I really like the look of the FX30 over the a7iv. it also looks like it might be better video quality the canon r5, just based on this talking head.

My question is did you push companies like Fuji to introduce slow mo 4k format or what pushes the rest of the companies towards competition bidding farewell to full hd format officially from this stronger history remains in competition
You can take stills. I took some and, with the right lighting, they came out great! You just can't do burst shots with it, but I never shoot in bursts. So, I'm fine taking photos with it. I love that it's video focused. That's why I bought mine.
Question #2 If one is hiring video people - would it be easier to get someone who knows the FX3 or FX30 (or no matter) - vs other camera ecosystems (though I’m pretty sure nobody is shooting the Nikon Zs 💤)
yoooo what about the Fuji's which are actually direct competition? specifically the xt4 and the X-H2s??? also how does this fit against the similarly crop sensor-ed a6600 camera?
FX3 is soooo muuch better because of the dynamic range, FF and better rolling shutter handling. Even A7Cis "better" as a b-camera, it's cheaper than this, FF and has better dynamic range = 15 stops vs. 14 stops.
My a7iii has a busted mic in port - and I really just want a reason to get a second, more video focused body... I hate the EVF on the a7C and prefer no EVF with flip out screen, but will it be ok with my Tamron 17-28/28-75/70-180 f/2.8 lenses?
I still wouldn't advice this as an entry camera. Like Jared points out: a good camera is nothing without the skills to use it. This camera body (1.7 k) plus some good glass (at least 1k extra) plus lights, microphones, memory card... That'll be a cool let's say 3 to 3.5k. I'd still argue that picking up a good used Canon / A7ii / A6600 / GH4 is probably going to be a lot cheaper if you are new to the craft and want to give it a go. This camera is much more for the intermediate / semi pro. Where you have some gear already, know what you are doing and already generating content.
@@SyntheticFuture Very good points. I'm shooting livestreams running three cameras at the same time and it's a lineup of an A6400 for the headshot, A7III and an A5100 for my guitar playing hands. I was looking at the FX-3 and saving up for doing more video stuff, B-rolls on steroids with that 120fps in 4K... Now this FX30 really came at the right moment, and, as you say, for someone who's already "on the go", in my case I'm fully into Sony with several lenses, would I dare calling my self intermediate..? It's a stretch, but I'm buying this camera.
So if Sony can make a tiny camera that's JUST for cinema, can we get cameras that are JUST for photos? I hate the hike in price just because the camera has "12k video" that I will never use.
Highly disagree on the glas, glass, glass statement for video cameras. 4K video is just 12MP, where it's really hard to see a difference between slightly softer and tack-sharp lenses. Plus, you might use vintage glass for a creative effect (like the Helios 44-2 that even the Batman used).

Right now i have the a6000 so both would be a huge upgrade
A7IV maybe would fit you better as it's made for photo and video
FX30 if you shoot raw with ninja V for example, you got 16bit raw footage… Thats sick…
The ninja V only records 12 bit.
Well seeing the price tag on this camera makes me feel better about buying the Canon R7 for cinema
Good video about 2 cameras.
Do you use DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro for your videos?
How does it perform while taking photos please make a short video on that , like a yt short.

Hello, it's about my sony fx30. I'm having trouble, it always pops up on the screen with "system error" do you know how to fix it? thanks
Which is gonna be a B camera? A7iv or fx30?
Is this a significant upgrade from a a6600?
I’m wondering the same
Why is this camera not good for stills? Is it just because it doesn't have an EVF? I use the FX3 for over a year and it was fine
No mechanical shutter. The FX3 has a mechanical shutter. Fx30 is electronic shutter only….
Otherwise it should be good since its higher MP than fx3
wait, is the fx30 incapable of taking pictures at all? or is it just not ideal because it doesn't have an evf?
It can take stills but no mechanical shutter i believe.
You can take stills. I took some and, with the right lighting, they came out great! You just can't do burst shots with it, but I never shoot in bursts. So, I'm fine taking photos with it. I love that it's video focused. That's why I bought mine.
You didn't even mention photo shooting with this. How many per second this can shoot?
Dual purpose
Whats lacking on the Stills capability?
No mechanical shutter.
A7c vs fx30?
Bravo!
I really want a pro tier hybrid replacement for the a6600 and I'm not sure if this is it
Keep the a6600
Newbie to cinema. Not newbie to content creation.
Question #2 If one is hiring video people - would it be easier to get someone who knows the FX3 or FX30 (or no matter) - vs other camera ecosystems (though I’m pretty sure nobody is shooting the Nikon Zs 💤)
yoooo what about the Fuji's which are actually direct competition? specifically the xt4 and the X-H2s??? also how does this fit against the similarly crop sensor-ed a6600 camera?
Fx30 or R6?
FX3 is soooo muuch better because of the dynamic range, FF and better rolling shutter handling. Even A7Cis "better" as a b-camera, it's cheaper than this, FF and has better dynamic range = 15 stops vs. 14 stops.
The difference is 0! You said it.
So it got the same RED BOX for video recording indication like Z9 firmware 2.0 ..... lol
For 4k more?
My a7iii has a busted mic in port - and I really just want a reason to get a second, more video focused body... I hate the EVF on the a7C and prefer no EVF with flip out screen, but will it be ok with my Tamron 17-28/28-75/70-180 f/2.8 lenses?
Should be, just multiply all of your focal links by 1.5 to see what they will actually look like on an APS-C camera
Fujifilm XH2s spanks them all but never gets mentioned
maybe one day will be an option of a camera without video capability...for less money 😅
I know right, I am not a videographer so I could care less that my Z9 has video capability.
As someone who does video way more now, I wish there was more video focused cameras like this that aren't $6k+ or heavy on photo capabilities lol
1.7k is still a hefty price tag for a "beginner". I think my A7ii is going to have to last a while longer 😅
I still wouldn't advice this as an entry camera. Like Jared points out: a good camera is nothing without the skills to use it.
This camera body (1.7 k) plus some good glass (at least 1k extra) plus lights, microphones, memory card... That'll be a cool let's say 3 to 3.5k. I'd still argue that picking up a good used Canon / A7ii / A6600 / GH4 is probably going to be a lot cheaper if you are new to the craft and want to give it a go. This camera is much more for the intermediate / semi pro. Where you have some gear already, know what you are doing and already generating content.
@@SyntheticFuture Very good points. I'm shooting livestreams running three cameras at the same time and it's a lineup of an A6400 for the headshot, A7III and an A5100 for my guitar playing hands. I was looking at the FX-3 and saving up for doing more video stuff, B-rolls on steroids with that 120fps in 4K... Now this FX30 really came at the right moment, and, as you say, for someone who's already "on the go", in my case I'm fully into Sony with several lenses, would I dare calling my self intermediate..? It's a stretch, but I'm buying this camera.
ruclips.net/video/Mok06gl4QW8/видео.html "The histogram is not getting in the way?" Wait .. What .. You're not showing the histogram on screen at all?

So if Sony can make a tiny camera that's JUST for cinema, can we get cameras that are JUST for photos? I hate the hike in price just because the camera has "12k video" that I will never use.
jared, I think you missed the blackmagic stuff here - this thing is pretty much a better option for anyone looking at a BM pocket tyoe camera.
I want video and photo
Highly disagree on the glas, glass, glass statement for video cameras. 4K video is just 12MP, where it's really hard to see a difference between slightly softer and tack-sharp lenses.
Plus, you might use vintage glass for a creative effect (like the Helios 44-2 that even the Batman used).
