And yet you folks can't write a good script to save your lives, you and hollywood combined. THE PROBLEM is NOT the FILMMAKNG, it's the FILMMAKERS! We have a mold press of physicality, spirituality, and mental attitude when it comes to wannabe filmmakers: Shlubby or Skinny, Balding (hiding it with ballcap) or disheveled Bearded (don't even take care of themselves), tiny tattoo laced arms and legs, rebellious, narcissistic, niellistic, atheistic dreamer fan boys. They, like all the other mold-press filmmakers, make films that are copies of their favorite dark filmmaker, cynical, mean-spirited, with edgy crass dialogue and mean spirited plots. No levity, heart, joy, humility, mercy, or good old-time feel when you leave the movie, just misery. Films are "sour-puss" cinema and dark. Folks, you are CLONES, you are not filmmakers. Time to change YOU, and the films will be better.
Something that often gets overlooked is that this is the most powerful cinema camera that still looks just like a still camera. If discretion is an important aspect of your process then this camera is still very much king.
*This is Why I bought the Sony FX30 as it's basically the APS-C version of this Full Frame Version. I love the features you're describing for the FX3 on My FX30. I've Finally got the Cinema Rig Set up that will carry me for as long as I want. It's My ALL-IN-ONE Camera and I use my ZV-E10 as my Secondary Camera. Now that I have the perfect Lens setup for mine which is the 15mm F1.4 G Lens. It's My Perfect Setup for me*
FX3 is still our main camera. Absolutely love it over the Canon C70. I’d pick another one up but I’m trying to hold out for a mark 2. Even then, we will still continue to use the FX3, it won’t ever retire or be sold until it breaks.
What is the mark 3 should I get that instead of the fx 3? I want the best of both worlds for my 1st professional camera for shooting music videos and also photos 📸 please advise
Such a solid review. I’ve been team Canon since day 1, over 15 years ago. 95% photography. As I get more into video, this legit makes me want to grab one of these bodies this year. My wallet is mad at you and I’m ok with that. Haha (And I would definitely grab that LUT after scooping up one of these cameras!) 🏅🏅🏅
I’m still rocking a Canon EOS R at the moment. I was second shooting for someone today and used their Sony’s (not sure which ones) and it’s definitely put me off switching. They kept over heating! Ps. Came from your Instagram channel 👌
This camera was the best decision I could have made for my creativity. It just does everything I need it to do in a small form factor that never slows me down in studio or on the go.
Concur on the fan - it’s the “game changer” for those who shoot for HOURS in studio off a rig with a V-Mount! (While my A1 overheats in 20 minutes shooting 4K!?! 🤬) Disagree about the firmware upgrades… DON’T!!! (Unless you want to risk BRICKING the camera and pissing away $750 just up have Sony say they can’t fix it for less than a new camera body!)
My base camera is the Sony 7R I've had it for about 3 years now and it's a great workhorse for me. But after seeing this this could definitely be the next move! Great video, as always!
It’s definitely a power house for video! I’m not there yet to where I’d utilize all it has to offer, but when I do… that baby is definitely coming home with me hahaha. Solid breakdown bro 🫡🔥
If you can workaround the thermal limitations it's amazing the ZV-E1 has most of these advantages but also the AI chip from A7R-V, so in some ways it's even better at £1.5k - it's an amazing time to be a content creator with such options!
Do you think FX3 is better than Sony Burano or Venice? Venice 2 is the top of the line camera especially with the realto system. For vertical content you can center crop. How important would you say it is to be able to rotate the camera 90 degrees? I shoot 8K on RED and cropping seems to hold up the resolution pretty well. For social stuff I export 1080p timelines. I shoot RED and Arri for high end and iPhone 15pro for quick and easy I’m trying to see if FX3 would be better workflow or not really.
Cool video JHawk. Do you have banding or flickering issues using the FX3 with the neon sign in your background?one great feature of the newer Sonys is variable shutter to help with this. Thank you!

I really want to pick one up but, being three years old, I'm wondering if the MK2 will be coming soon and if they'll address the short comings many people want.
I am looking hard at upgrading to the Sony FX3 to add to my gear. I currently use a Sony a6600 that I bought on December 1, 2019, when it first dropped. I love my a6600 it paid for itself in just 6 months during the pandemic. I still use it every other day. It is my go-to video and still camera. I got it because of some of the awesome features at the time no other cameras seemed to have: unlimited record time that was perfect for 30-45 min dance instructional videos I was doing during the pandemic. Having the audio and headphone jacks really comes in handy for event video production. I swear by my a6600 camera but it is not a cinema camera and I really want to get into cinematic productions and films. Also would be nice to have a 2nd camera to do interviews and multi-cam productions. I was thinking of getting the Little Brother FX30 but after a lot of thought and seeing the Duo ISO lowlight I think I need the FX3. After the movie The Creator I think it should be my next camera and it's Netflix-approved. What do you think? I do a lot event videos and talking heads.
Great video, thanks for all the details. What are your thoughts on using the FX3 for doing landscape video like waterfalls? I'm using the Nikon d850 for video now and need a dedicated landscape video camera. Thanks again
Great video! I have a canon r6. At this point I need to upgrade and with no sight of canon releasing anything new I’ve been looking at this camera as well as a few others. Thanks for a great video with perfect timing
I've been going back and forth between getting an FX3 or ZV-E1. I do hike a lot and think maybe the ZV-E1 would be better so I tested one out and loved it. But when it comes to buying it I keep asking is the FX3 really that much bigger? Maybe an inch? Maybe half a pound more? Price aside I can't help feel like it would be better in the long run. Of course the ZV-E1 won't overheat in Pennsylvania in winter, but I keep thinking about the reliability when I travel to hot places. I'd kick myself if I got one of those National Park permits and when I'm out trying to capture the memories the camera keeps shutting down. I know the ZV-E1 is a "travel/vlog" but I think if you can afford it the FX3 is the way to go or no?
So I’m looking into vlogging my wrestling journey and possibly recording at wrestling but also taking photos on the side of my action figures and for wrestlers or just some stuff outside of that like my own personal stuff would you still suggest this camera in 2024
Great Video! I'm currently using the GH5 and looking to upgrade to a new full-frame camera. I'm torn between the S5iix and the FX3. Do you think the extra cost for the FX3 is worth it? I’ve watched several footage videos from both cameras on RUclips, especially in the music video genre, and I find Sony’s look much more modern and cinematic.
I haven’t seen any comparisons, mainly because these are two completely different use cases, but, how does the new Sony a7c ii compare to this fx3? In terms of video. I know the a7c is basically baby a7 IV- A nice hybrid camera. But truthfully what could you say about the two?
So this is a video driven camera and can but not the best photos so what camera would be the best of both worlds? Beautiful video and photos so you don't have to buy 2 cameras? I also have the osmo 3
I have a a74,zve1,fx30 with top handle elr, i wanted the cannon c70 or r5c do think i should trade 2 for 1 or just buy it right out and keep what i have sir just asking a season director, creator ,photographer i see u as the best and just wanted your honest opinion thanks have a great day
Hi , nice information, I am doing video on A7Cii with 2470 gmii, want to get fx3 for standalone video purposes, will it really make difference in comparison with A7Cii ?
Affirm sells it to you for $154 a month for 48 months which is doable for a monthly payment. But after the 48 months you've paid the equivalent of 2 FX3's. The prices we a pay to do battle...

You made me get the FX3. Best decision ever🔥I customized button 3 (ISO) to swap between 800 & 12800 for CineEI. Game changer!
Haha my bad ;) appreciate it man!
Where is the tv commercials that you’ve shot with the fx3? Would love to see it.
I don’t have rights to em
Always a pleasure watching your videos

I am using the Sony A6400 with the sigma 16mm F1.4 but really want the A7IV!

I'm using the Canon Rebel T6i 😊
Thank You for another fire video man. Much Love & Respect.
Appreciate it!
Open gate would be such an amazing feature.
S5II already has the feature and a whole bunch of other features Sony omits from there cameras. Stop paying more for less features. Stop settling.
This camera was the best decision I could have made for my creativity. It just does everything I need it to do in a small form factor that never slows me down in studio or on the go.
Couldn’t agree more!

I'm using the ProGrade128GB card. Works just fine for me. @@royaltykidstv

Does this camera FX3 has IBS in body stabilization? Do you have audio
in 120 fps while shooting? Thanks
Yes and yes!

You can do it!
Oh yes, time for yet another FIRE video
Let’s gooo
A7iv has been my go to for my channel. I also use an a7c and a6600 for b and c cams. Great video bro!
All great choices!
Question, in low light, to avoid noise…you have to crank the iso all the way up to 12800? That seems pretty high for a base iso
Don’t have to no, but if you’re close might as well
I’m so close to switching to Sony from the s5 iix
fire video brotha
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Aaahh it makes the choice so tough. I don't know if I should save up 2k more or invest on a Sony ZVE1 atm ! Thanks for your work J!
Haha both are great options!

Sony A7iv. Want to get the ZVE1 because how compact it is but I don't know how good it would do with photo.
So good!
What lenses do you run with the fx3?
16-35 the most

Just totally depends, those cameras are re obviously great but way more than needed a lot of times
What’s a good lense to get for the fx3 I do RUclips n I like my videos to kind of see a lot but also blur out the n back ground kind of fire video
Quick question I have the Sony A7siii and I want to get the fx3 will I have a problem with matching the color tones ?
Nope, bascially same camera
Can you suggest another camera to pair this with and where to get lens
Endless options! Just depends on what you want to do

No idea about the s5 so this would be my choice!
S5ii is 2K and has a shit load of features absent in the FX3. Don’t jump on the Sony bandwagon, it’s the iPhone of the camera world.
Love the video dude!
If you had to ditch the FX3 and use something else to replace it what’s one camera you think could potentially compete with it?
Would have go ZVE1 dude!

So this is a video driven camera and can but not the best photos so what camera would be the best of both worlds? Beautiful video and photos so you don't have to buy 2 cameras? I also have the osmo 3
So many options the a7IV is my first thought!
