Best real world review yet! Thanks for this. Also, really impressive shots there, nice work.
I just bought the FX30 a few weeks ago and I love it! Used it for a few basketball games so far and the results have been great
This the review I’ve been waiting for. I’m considering getting the FX30 for filming local football games.
You just earned a sub! Thank you for this content, I’m going to be using fx30 + 70-200 f4 for my sons first football game tomorrow
My first camera was a 7D, shooting mediocre 1080/24 and 720 at 60fps, for a little less than the fx30 cost in 2011. I've had mine for a day and it blows me away.
Incredible footage! I’m very interested in this camera for filming pickle ball both indoor and outside. Lots of reviews say this camera is pretty noisy in low light. I shoot more for fun but would love to get your input take on it for indoor. I shoot primarily Fuji x-t3 and x-h1 and they get noisy too but it’s the continuous autofocus just isn’t good enough
i'm looking to do local Basketball games. i'm looking into this one as wel
Nice used at a soccer game with mine the either day used your technique on shutter speed and work well for me!
Nice cinematic work. Great visuals with movement. Not that easy to get. The camera is second, the cinematographer is FIRST!
No one mentions the 4k 60 proxies! That’s so helpful to know!!
Wow, you are super talented. The footage I take of my kids sports looks nothing like this, but there's still time to learn. Thx for sharing!
So glad you are testing this out I was waiting for this! Question: Do you shoot the real time in 120fps so you can slow it down in certain areas?
hey, do you use a 70-200? if so what f stop is it? Love the videos man 🎉
Thank you for these reviews, Peter. Please contine and thank you again!!!
So happy I purchased the fx30! Great video 👌
I'm stuck between the a7iii and the fx30 to buy this summer. Obivously the fx30 is a better video camera but i'm planning on also doing some sports photography so idk what to do
Just bought an fx30 and I mostly cover basketball can you share your settings for shooting sports i need insight badly i have a gig this upcoming weekend.
I can't decide! Seems like people use the a7iv more for short clips, but fx30 for continuous filming. As a beginner, which option should I go with? I'm wondering if the 120fps is really necessary for sports? Or can I get away with 60 fps for slow motion?
Thanks for the video, great work mate! I am really hesitating between the F30 and A7IV to shoot sport and podcast. You mention you have an extra reach with the FX30 as it is an APSC sensor but you do also have a crop at 4k60 with the A7IV so isn’t it the same at the end in terms of that extra reach?
I’m about to shoot a soccer game with my FX30 and 18-105 in APSC mode.
