I would probably choose this over the A7C. S35 is underrated and for most personal projects and even some professional this will get you started. Sony is smart with this release because it’s an affordable way into their system for those of us who can’t afford or don’t need anything like the FX6 starting out. I would have even bypass the FX3 for an upgrade from this to the higher end cinema lines.
Dang that price blew me away! So stoked Sony is going this way. This is going to open up a lot of doors to aspiring filmmakers who can’t afford those higher end cameras!
What a great review, it gives me more context to see this camera in action by someone who actually makes their shots beautiful, not just any ugly shots. This gives me something to strive forward. Thank you!
I think what this camera represents is breaking more barriers for videographers in terms of gear ; at $1800, this thing is such an accessible avenue to having amazing videos without having to feel like you need to take a loan out for your camera , and it’s amazing for a b/c camera . The s35 truthfully doesn’t bother me much, coming from things like a pocket 4K/6K and the c200, sure there’s a difference, but it’s a great place to start for a cinema camera ( i ordered it 😅)

This is very exciting. As I'm moving up in the ranks of filmmaking, buying a camera becomes all the more complicated. Now that I've used ARRI's, it's very hard to justify buying a mid-range camera like the Komodo or an FX9, if I can just get the big guns onto a project via rental. But this seems like it's perfect to own, as it's significantly more affordable, but still has a stellar image, and it pairs nicely with the lenses I already own!

At 01:54, just a clarification. The field-of-view remains the same whether you are using an APSC lens or a full frame lens. So, a 16mm APSC lens and a 16mm Full Frame lens would give you same field of view on FX30. It's when the sensor size changes that the field of view would change. Thanks for the review.
I have one on pre-order already to replace my trusty a6400, which will become my new B-Cam/dedicated photography camera. Stoked to rig out this camera with a cage and a monitor etc. and really make this my workhorse!
Super 35 have its pros and cons to work with but when you can work around it, then you have a superb camera. Fx30 for $1,800 is very affordable and gives so much to new filmmakers. Not sure what else can you ask for from Sony as I would love to have this camera back in 2016. Could have done so much with it and be able to buy new lenses at hte same time. Great camera overall!

Wow!!! just omg !! That final Dron shot really blown my head! jajaja Amazing video as always mark. I honestly doesn't need to keep watching these videos about the fx30 but im gonna keeping doing it anyway until I finally can afford it Im gonna try to save money as hard as I try to write English 🤣
I've been shooting with the Sony NEX VG20 E mount APSC video camera and have wanted to move up to the modern world. I like APSC, have my lenses already and wanted to stick with it so my only real choice was the A6600. I'm glad I waited because this will fit the bill nicely!
If I wasn't on micro 4/3 for 8 years (so i have couple of cameras, tons of lenses...) I would totally get the FX30 with the new sony aps c lenses : the size to quality ratio is incredible.
This cam looks promising. I'm thinking of upgrading from my mobile phone and finally buying my first proper camcorder. I was considering Fujifilm XS10 because of budget constraints but maybe waiting and saving for another few months for FX30 might be worth it.
When buying into a new system, consider longevity & an upgrade path. If you go with Fujifilm, there won't be an upgrade path. However, with Sony, there is a big upgrade path .. A74, A7s3 / FX3, FX6, FX9 Plus, all aforementioned cameras use the same mount!! As for Canon (though you didn't mention them), their issue is that their mounts are all over the place (so upgrade path is more complicated), and they blocked 3rd party lenses support on their RF mount! Dumb move.

Personally I'm excited about the FX30. I think Sony really filled in a gap that was lacking in this price range. The FX3 is just not justifiable in terms of cost for someone like myself. I wanted a dedicated video camera and this will meet my needs and then some. The crop isn't a huge deal for me personally as it will be good for my wildlife hobbyist interests. Time to save up or get a decent paying job hahaha! Well done Sony!

QUESTION: Do you know if you can activate the "crop mode" (1.62x) without entering 120fps? Say, shooting in the 4k 1.62x crop mode at regular frame-rates (24, 25, 30) with sync audio, just as a way to extend a prime lens' field of view? (Thank you for the great review).
You can use the zoom rocker while on a prime lens and it will punch into the image (at no quality loss; 6K downsampling will turn into 4K) ... I think it's 1.5x crop

So, i have the a7siii, i was eyeing to get the fx3 but now this is here, I'm thinking should i still go full frame for my cine camera or just get this one an make it A cam for my films for now?
My jaw dropped when you said the price!!! Thats amazing 👏 also the stabilization was truly amazing! Throw some warp stabilizer on it and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between on a gimbal or not
That looks incredible! My main question is, can you use it to live stream as well? I use my current Sony to film, photograph, and live stream I just use a dummy battery so it can stay on longer.
Sounds like an interesting little camera. I guess if there’s a speedbooster available for it, you’ve pretty much got a full frame FOV. Tempting 😄 - Thanks for the vid 👍

@@Kandufilms i mean if you have fx6 money i would go that route , and this as a b-cam. If not run fx30 for a beginner cam. Me personally i have the fx6 and its a really good camera im looking at this or the fx3 as a b-cam
@@RTMedia24 that’s good advice lol I have used an fx6 for multiple shoots and fell in love with it but this fx30 is a fraction of the cost I’m curious your thoughts on it like you would still use your fx6 over the fx30 if you were put in that position?
@@Kandufilms Hands down. i would use the fx30 for a b-cam. Without question. I personally own a fx6 and yea i would it's lightweight and reliable. If your filming and have the money to spend i would spare no cost. The fx30 is nice but i personally ( because i own an fx6 ) wouldn't make it an A cam.

i cant wait till i get mine, still have to wait till Aug till i get mine delivered, but on the upside my local camera store has a FX3 that they use as a rental but no one wants to rent it so their letting my rent it out till i get my FX30 delivered, so i'll shoot in crop mode like its a FX30 and learn.

I was thinking of an upgrade this year from the alpha 7iii to the FX3. Now I’m confused lol. Is this better than the FX3? Seems that the full frame sensor will be better in low lights? I struggle with the price of the FX3 so I wonder what to do with this announcement. Wait until I can get the FX3 or have the FX30?
I’m literally in this same exact boat. Like now which one should I get? I wanna make great videos and become a better filmmaker but do I go with the FX30 or the FX3??

I need a little help. Although I haven't used this camera before, it looks promising. You have been incredibly helpful in enhancing my cinematography skills in India. I primarily focus on shooting brand films and architecture videos, and I'm eager to start creating travel films as well. Should I consider purchasing an FX30? Currently, I rent equipment for my production setups, which include the FX3 and A7S3. Would the FX30 be a suitable addition for small commercial projects and travel films, serving as a compact camera kit? Thanks & Regards Jatin😁😁😄😄
I've been consuming these FX30 videos like nobody's business. Would you happen to have a link to the concert you recorded that's shown in parts of this video? Wondering how the low light performance is.

So, does you say that it is better in lowlight than a FX6 ? And how much better is the image quality vs a FS7 - would you recommend a switch from the FS7 to this little thing?

What are your thoughts? It's Sony's first Cine Line Camera under $2K. Do you like the S35 format?
As long as it holds up with low-light, I’m excited!
As a Canon user, this makes switching to Sony more tempting lol...
An amazing addition to Sonys line
Is this essentially just a more affordable FX3 or does it have some other added value (maybe aside from being slightly smaller?)
I would probably choose this over the A7C. S35 is underrated and for most personal projects and even some professional this will get you started. Sony is smart with this release because it’s an affordable way into their system for those of us who can’t afford or don’t need anything like the FX6 starting out.

Dang that price blew me away! So stoked Sony is going this way. This is going to open up a lot of doors to aspiring filmmakers who can’t afford those higher end cameras!
Yeah! I hope there’s more to come in their affordable range
Mark coming in hot with the best FX30 review out of anyone! I trust the man who uses the FX9, FX6 and FX3 on a regular basis and at a high level.
What a great review, it gives me more context to see this camera in action by someone who actually makes their shots beautiful, not just any ugly shots. This gives me something to strive forward. Thank you!
Those concert shots though. 🔥Thanks for coming out, Mark!!
That was such a fun concert!
I think what this camera represents is breaking more barriers for videographers in terms of gear ; at $1800, this thing is such an accessible avenue to having amazing videos without having to feel like you need to take a loan out for your camera , and it’s amazing for a b/c camera .

i cant wait till i get mine, still have to wait till Aug till i get mine delivered, but on the upside my local camera store has a FX3 that they use as a rental but no one wants to rent it so their letting my rent it out till i get my FX30 delivered, so i'll shoot in crop mode like its a FX30 and learn.
great video and a great camera even though I do not shoot video. But now I want to!
I am wondering though technique wise, how do you cut from one band member to another without losing a chunk of music. Two cameras?

I was thinking of an upgrade this year from the alpha 7iii to the FX3. Now I’m confused lol. Is this better than the FX3? Seems that the full frame sensor will be better in low lights? I struggle with the price of the FX3 so I wonder what to do with this announcement. Wait until I can get the FX3 or have the FX30?
I’m literally in this same exact boat. Like now which one should I get? I wanna make great videos and become a better filmmaker but do I go with the FX30 or the FX3??
@@Robert-Rojas I've seen many videos about the FX30 and I realized a lot filmmakers are making the FX30 their B cameras to match with their FX3 lol.

@@Robert-Rojas get the FX30! It is an amazing value camera, that can greatly out perform what our own capabilities are
@@marionquesneau I feel like the FX30 is good for people that have a cheaper APS-C sensor camera and want to upgrade. But if you wanna upgrade to the next full frame the FX3 seems to be the way. It’s just double the price….
So why not get the a7iv since it comes with a better still camera? Will you get better imagery or something with this? Specs seem the same. 🙏🏽
I don’t really take stills but if you do then that’s a great camera also!
can you please tell me the lowerthird you used?
@2:42 -2:45 what is that bar living across the screen?!?

I start thinking it was a marketing when I heard saying the image is clean even in low light? I got an fx30 and really 100 percent noise in the shadows specially on iso 2500 slog , but can fix abit in post
Vidoe quality aside , for someone jumping into directing commercials, do you think clients care if you show up with a Sony FX30 or Sony FX3 that look like a DSLR…. Vs a Sony FX6 or Red Komodo ? 🤔
I knew there would be a slew of reviews dropping, but I only watched Mark's because I know he's actually used it, unlike the lifestyle filmmakers.

Does it have continuous auto focus or just tap to auto focus? Thanks for the video it was great.
What lens would you recommend on this FX30 or Sony 7 IV If I record alot of sports such as football gamed and basketball games from a little distance. Thoughts???

Hey Mark, great content! What lens would you recommend as best for documentary on this camera?
What is that jerk in the shot?
After 7:36 Sec and Before 7:37 Sec.
I was about to buy this camera but this little thing got me on hold.
I move from photography to videography. Can I ask how can I use shortcut for exposure compensation in video mode? I find it very inconvenient to dig deep into the menu for changing the exposure compensation value, espcially when it's recording a footage. Thanks!
Earned a sub and follower today. Appreciate the thought that went into this review.
Thanks mate!!
A7iv is better in low light + great photos though right? Or will this footage be more commercial grade and cinematic for some reason?
Yes the fx30 is not as good in low light
@@markbone but will it be more "commercial grade/cinematic level" footage?
6:20 why do i always see you holding the fx3?
Fx30 🫡
As a Sony FS7 owner the FX30 is *EXACTLY* what I want to see for a B Cam! So I don't need to change over all my lenses away from Super 35
Do you think the picture of the FX30 is much better than the pic from the FS7 ?
@@rehab4everybody yes, maybe the FX30 might even become my A Cam instead of the FS7!
@@SoundSpeeding Do you have both now?
@@rehab4everybody not yet, perhaps after Xmas/NYE. (until then my Sony PMW-F3 shall keep on working as my B Cam! Bit bulky though to ever put on a gimbal...)
@@SoundSpeeding So you havent worked with the 30 yet..
best lenses for short-movie and videography ?
Excellent video. Which lens has a servo zoom and can do at least 10x with this camera?
No idea
Why is it dark sometimes
Does the sony lens you used for the stabilization test have a stabilization switch( IBIS )? Is that GM lens?
Would you chose this over the BMPCC 6K Pro?
Hey mark, did you find a lack of image quality or focus issues when using full frame lenses with the FX30?
Ive been seeing footage and I still find some noise in a lot of shots. Think we are again have to learn how to expose on these new cameras using slog. +2.0 doesnt always fix things :/

Oh…seems it’s got some decently strong green sensor streaking unfortunately. You can see it on the wide overcranked basketball shots in the windows streaking across the player.

I need a little help. Although I haven't used this camera before, it looks promising. You have been incredibly helpful in enhancing my cinematography skills in India. I primarily focus on shooting brand films and architecture videos, and I'm eager to start creating travel films as well. Should I consider purchasing an FX30? Currently, I rent equipment for my production setups, which include the FX3 and A7S3. Would the FX30 be a suitable addition for small commercial projects and travel films, serving as a compact camera kit?
Thanks & Regards
Jatin😁😁😄😄
Can you use 70-200mm lens?
Yes
I've been consuming these FX30 videos like nobody's business. Would you happen to have a link to the concert you recorded that's shown in parts of this video? Wondering how the low light performance is.
My interest is definitely peeked

I’m going to pre-order! I’m currently filming weddings with the A7iv, A7c, A7lll and A6600. Time to retire a couple. Maybe get rid of the A7lll and A6600? Maybe keep the A600 for my safety camera at weddings?

Is the fx 30 good for workout videos??
Mark, perfect video! 🙌🏼Would you say it’s worth upgrading from a a7iii?
yes, already for the 10bit video alone, but don't expect shooting photos on this though (it only has an electronic shutter which has a slowish readout speed..)

Can we use sigma 18-35mm ef mount lens on this cam with any adapter? 🥲
Yea!
@@markbone Thank You So Much ❤️🥲
EF mount? With an appropriate adapter, sure. It's standard e mount.
Not that it’ll matter once you move locations but what part of Texas are you currently in?
The Canadian part. About 4000 miles North
Are there any downsides to using full-frame lenses on the FX30?
None
Dude I am planning to buy a mirrorless camera for first time and I had made my mind for Fx3 but after your video now I am confused which one I should go for my work is to shoot songs , bts for feature films and run and gun work ..
So, does you say that it is better in lowlight than a FX6 ? And how much better is the image quality vs a FS7 - would you recommend a switch from the FS7 to this little thing?
The fx6 is waaaay better at low light
I would hold onto your fs7 for now
@@markbone thanks for your opinion. I am looking for a b Cam.. it should be small and strong at ow light. Because the FS7 is not the low light cam IMO..
I was going to upgrade to a7siii for video but should I switch to this one instead?

low light performance is beautiful? what does that mean? any referance? comparison? footage example?
Not as good
Compared to the Fx3
@@markbone thanks for the reply. i never had or used a sony. so my best guess would be to look at other videos of Fx3 and guess how worse it is.
I don't get why you say the image is "buttery smooth", I felt like there was quite a bit of noise in a lot of those shots
Is this a better camera for video than my Sony a7iii?
I have gh5 do u think spending extra probably 1200 and selling my gh5 would be worth it?
Ah yes, lighting legend Brady Bessette #iykyk
He’s a boss. Love that guy
Thanks for letting me crash your video mark 🥲
Anytime brother
Awesome! So it works also for fictional short films? Does Canon even work for achieving cinematography like Sony’s FX30?
It’s remarkable that any camera company can shoot any sort of story. But most people don’t know this 😂
@@markbone I here to learn. Yes, I kinda ask a complicated and maybe dum question. But I here to learn. Besides I always `heard’ that Sony cameras always perform better when it’s comes to picture quality.
