      When the FX30 came out, I was dead set on planning to buy A7IV but when the FX30 came out, my thoughts changed. Sure A7IV is full frame but when you film in 10 bit 4:2:2 it is cropped to APSC so to me if I were to buy a new camera for short movies and documentaries why should I buy a camera which can only shoot in APSC format in 10 bit 4:2:2? If that’s the case why not just get an APSC camera that can shoot 10 bit 4:2:2?

    Best fx 30 video hands down

  • @Zdenek_Houdek
    @Zdenek_Houdek 10 месяцев назад

    I use FX30 for the family video.
    The FX30 camera brings me all the possibilities of professional cameras (even those that I don't use yet). Buying more expensive lenses brought the question of whether it was better to buy the FX3, but at the time of purchase there were many reasons for the FX30: better display, breathing compensation, greater variety of lenses.
    There may be some noise in dark shots, but it's subtle and can often be removed with software if we strive to do so. I've been shooting for 25 years, I've changed several cameras. The latter cameras in optimal lighting conditions give similar results, but in difficult lighting conditions (it's not just that there's not enough light) the FX30 far surpasses anything I have had so far.
    I'm glad for my choice.

    Excellent review which answered a few questions I had. I have just retired and swan around SE Asia taking travel and bird photos as a hobby. My current kit is a Sony A9 and an A7RIV but I am finding this a frustrating combo and am considering upgrading to a A1 & a FX30. I would most use the FX30 for birds at 120 fps but I am concerned that my 200-600mm will be too slow for Indonesian forest and too much zoom. Interested to hear how you liked the 70-200mm or if I should consider a 135mm F1.8 as a low light option. I currently use a monopod to keep weight down. I am in Bali at the moment and heading off to Sorong again tomorrow. Cheers

      I think the FX30 could do a lot of good, but yep, I think its a bit too much zoom. I liked the 70/200 mark 2 and the extender a lot. Neat little package. However, if lowlight is a concern, checking out the FX3 might be a good idea too. That one outperforms any camera when it comes to low light.

    Hi Sjoerd, do you think the FX30 is usable for occasional, non-high-end photography (blog/social, video thumbnails, stock images, personal family portraits)?
    I know this is a cine focused camera with only single shooting drive mode (without continuous) for stills but I was hoping the quality might be comparative to A7S III photos.
    I'm not a photographer so I'm not sure about only single shooting and whether that's a deal breaker, but if I can save $1,700 to not go up to the A7S III then it might be worth it.

    Finally a balanced review from an actual pro filmmaker! Found out a couple new things such as the improved screen resolution & RAW HDMI out. Nice. One obvious improvement over the FX3/FX6 you didn't mention I think is the 4K oversampled from 6K. Did you notice an increase in sharpness/detail? The final film is absolutely stunning and really sells the image quality of which I admit I had serious doubts when watching other footage. Most were using cheap kit APS-C glass. Those GM lenses sure are next-level!

Your content is very much appreciated! It's simply delightful to listen to you because there is always a takeaway from your words of wisdom!
    Really stoked on the FX30. However, I would love to see a video or a written down process of how you handle Cine EI yourself (as your setup has been solely run and gun in Indonesia you either trusted the LUT completely on the camera screen - what you see is what you get regarding overexposing (rec709 or did you upload your own creative LUT for monitoring?) or must have used zebras as an addition (is that even possible in Cine EI?)). Also regarding post processing of the log files. Do you use the Sony Catalyst software? I could not find any way that makes DaVinci Resolve able to read metadata from the log files to automatically apply the exposure compensation you dialed in when shooting.
