FX3 is a beast!
My gf said she would leave me if I got such an expense camera.
I do miss her but the new girl loves the videos I make with her on my FX3.
The red ring is sweet how many of us was doing. Shoot in harsh day light and thought we was recording just to realize we didn't get that clip we wanted
That happened to me last week and it's even worst on a7iii
@@mofahimm its the worst. Kind of wish they implement this in there future camera settings. But love the way it lights up. Just not sure I can justify the extra 4 or 500. Over the a7s 3. But I am thinking hard on it.
@@WargodFilms at least with a7siii you get the red rectangle compared to predecessor...i am with you on the cost justification...if need a second camera it will be another a7siii
@@mofahimm exactly. Now if they made it cheaper like they did with the a7c would make more sense but guess we will see. What they should do a 4k 60 and 1080p 120 and 240 but with the higher bitrates like the a7s 3 and a73
Not paying an extra 500 euro for tally lamps... even if they do look pretty
You know Kai is making TH-cam money when he makes tea using leaves.
I love how the tea leaves are the metric, not his Rolex GMT BLNR haha
I thought he was going to throw that coffee to the camera for weather resistance check !! I miss his kicking football with 7D
TH-cam pays shite, its the sponsors
a7s iii two audio channels, FX3 four audio channels, I don't know why nobody says anything about this
@@GiroFinalFilms dont think this was supposed to be ina reply
Love how you’re bringing us great review in your shorts at home just chilling 🤩
Whaaaaaaaaattt!!! The boy Kai came through with the exclusive.
Not quite an exclusive bro! Quite a few of these videos out.
@@kriscamp608 yeah I just saw his first then realized shortly after that like 5 or 6 other people I subscribed to posted an hour earlier.
Enjoyed the Handel Queen of Sheba.
By the way, I have suddenly noticed you are getting quite artistic in your in-video montages!
Well Done! What a huge improvement in actual video image quality too!
So much more cinematic lately! WE ARE IMPRESSED! Keep up the good work!

"It's on DPReview" so it must be true!"...1am in the morning and laughed out loud!! Thanks, Kai...:)
6:05 is the awesome truth.
I really don't care about the camera all that much, you're just a really enjoyable personality to watch.
Amazing! The Tea-making scenes are just so much more civilized than coffee B-roll.
YES, I'm sooooooo sick of every youtuber making coffee coz they think they an "artist" of sorts.
I love my FX3 and I’m very happy with the purchase. It’s perfect for my needs. That said, your points are well taken. Cheers!
What’s your battery life like with continuous recording? Can it put up two hours or close to that? Interview purposes that is.
You never fail to amaze me with all your reviews even back then with your old channels....nice
Love the way Kai just says it, the way it is.....
glad you’re back in my feed, missed your videos
Kai has rediscovered dynamic mics; no battery, good proximity effect, good directionality, low handling noise.
Kai W is KING, not even Jared Polin had one to test when he released his video on this just a highlighted spec sheet and bragged about a phone call he had with Sony.
I'm a simple man. I see Kai W posting a video, I drop everything to watch it.
I was watching camera conspiracies
It can record PreRes Raw externally and record internal at the same time. Amazing.
Love the bed, mic and headphones setup 😂
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Logan Ivan Instablaster =)
@Russell Keith Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Russell Keith It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Logan Ivan no problem =)
Adding (by firmware) true 24p and DCI 4K in addition to the XLR's would justify the price difference with the A7SIII.
3:58 loool I weren't expecting that, ready to spit bars haha
Even Amazon describes the Sony FX3 as the Sony A7Siii in Sony FX3 product page description...
"I just gotta take a leak" Kai and his brilliant puns as usual 😂
Great video as always thank you so much
Absolutely fabulous video thanks a lot!
Great content Kai
What an amazing minimal movie-tech camera
3:34 I thought the queen’s comin
Wow you got your hands on one. Great review as always.
Same as a7slll with more holes and no viewfinder and maybe a7slll will have the update for s cinetone I think it's for someone need professional audio and no limitation on recording .
I love the energy of your videos 😂
Amazing video Kai
So how does the Internal Stabilization of the FX3 compare to Sony AIII and how do the two compare to other competitive cameras?
I'd love to have that big and comfortable grip of the FX3 in the a7 lineup
Best tea making scene in film history 🤩
FIRE VID ❤️❤️🔥
This hybrid camera type has huge potential for future generations.
By Modding the A7S3 into the FX3 SONY is first company to Cinemod their own product.
haha, lol! that is so true!
Errr, canon 1D C?
Now I want to drag you out to 1980’s karaoke night with that awesome red microphone.
WE FEED OF YOUR VIDEOS !! MORE MORE ♥
0:48 Those pins on the hot shoe mount could possibly also be used for a separate viewfinder accessory...
Thank you for the video.
Been loving my Sony FX3! I've created a few videos to test it out. It's really simple and easy to use compared to my old Sony A6400 camera. Would love to have true 24P and I wish it had internal ND filters...but that's fine I just bought one.
I just posted my first FX3 film. I'm super happy with the camera, although it has some limitations. I would murder someone for built-in NDs! Keep up the great work.
nice video, the bed, mic and headphones setup is the best, what make are your glasses, I'm in the market for just one's like that, thanks
I already like this guy. Automatic sub. 👍🏿
Brilliant Review!
Enjoyed this one
Yes bro, it does include the handle. The autofocus is more similar to the FX6.
3:50 i had one of those unexpected laughs and i love it
I think its a neat camera, but quite niche. I think if someone is getting their first video camera, this is perfect. But if your already in to it, well, its hard to say as you'd already know what you need or don't need and may find the odds are more likely this might not be the camera you need.
The fan might be an advantage not for longer shooting indoor but shooting outside in the sun! I got many issues with the older Sonys I got whilte shooting on hot days between 30 and 40 °C in the sun! Therefore a fan might be a helful friend. The black color of the cameras are not helping lowering the heat inside :D
I thought you’re gone. Hahahaha. Good thing you were on the suggested videos.
LOVE THE INTRO!! HILARRIIIOOUUSSSS
This is the best looking camera I've seen
Any chance there's something else coming to this in a firmware update later, like internal raw, that wouldn't work in the a7SIII because of heat or some other internal change they've made?
i don't even know what product this is...i just like kai being kai lol
every company should hire kai hahahah
This aged well. The only way Sony managed to put distance between the two cameras was to just abandon firmware updates on the a7siii
True and straight farward review❤️
How do you do it, always get the cool stuff first💪
3:58 My God, he bought the Supreme SM58.
Kai is pretty trendy, pretty sure he has other supreme products too LOL
He's wearing a wacko maria hoodie, i'm sure my mans now a streetwear god secretly
Been watching your videos for like 10 years lol.. bought my first camera Sony Nex5n based on a review u did that was soooo long ago
A little off subject, but I just discovered your old channel and was wondering what mode do you use for your street photography?
Flexin on everyone with that Supreme microphone
I just found this camera on Amazon's web site. Pre-order for $3899. This is actually the description on the wedsite: "Introducing the Alpha 7S III - a new milestone in sensitivity, speed and image supremacy. Featuring an all-new 12.1MP backside illuminated full-frame sensor with twice the readout speed for ultra-clean low-light images up to ISO 409,600, 15+ stops dynamic range and 3x reduction in rolling shutter, plus Sony’s acclaimed fast hybrid autofocus with 759 phase detection AF points. A new BIONZ XR processing engine deliver 8x more processing power for up to 120p 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 and full pixel readout in all recording modes."
Other camera TH-camrs are going to be jealous you got a sample before they did lol
Other reviewers that Sony cares about got theirs already. Look up Matti Haapoja (they even gave him a Sony hard case and alpha jackets) and Chris Hau.
@@lenardz oh I am only referring to the reviewer with the big hair lol
Everyone else got one. Doh
Kai is certainly a OG when it comes to cameras. He just carried through his previous employer's connections. What ever were the reasons for him leaving, he is definitely winning now. Revenge is a dish better served frozen...
@@tamanter that chris hau dude had long hair before tho lol
So sick I gotta have it!
I am really interested in where those ventilation channels go. They COULD be completely water sealed, but are they? Not all video is recorded in a studio. Most cameras these days can withstand a spring shower or two.
Finally someone addressing what I think is the elephant in the room! The same specs as the A7III and the lack of a viewfinder, which is a dealbreaker for me. I've seen other reviewers simply dismissing the missing viewfinder like it's nothing.
Most people that use cinema cameras don't use viewfinders. It's meant to be like an FX3 not the A7SIII.
Interesting to see if, in the future, they'll sell the FX3 without the top handle (as many people maybe have the other Sony module or prefer other audio setups that they've already invested in). I mean they have to do this. It's like selling you a new camera with the Kit Lens included as the only option. Doesn't matter if you have other/better lenses, there's no "body only" option in the store.
I'm curious what the price would be for the "body only FX3" then? Maybe that's the rumoured 3795 Euros.
That red supreme mic is cool
Nice review, price-wise, they should put it at the exact same price as the A7SIII, that way you can choose between photo-orientated camera or video orientated cineline. As you say, features are same, swapping EVF for a fan and some holes doesn't warrant extra money, it's the same money (I assume you have to pay extra for the mic input grip thing anyway). I think price-wise things have got silly these days. Computer equipment got cheaper after 2000 and it seems camera gear went so up in price that even camera phones could charge up to a grand and still be considered cheap. I could keep going... lol
So you are just saying it should be the same price and grip should be sold separate?
1:00 A rolex gmt master batman was not expected but quite welcomed
it looks so good
So right now im using a Panasonic GH5 and love it because of its continuous recording but the autofocus sucks. I was looking into buying this next but now idk. Whats a good camera that has great autofocus and has continuous recording?
Peter McKinnon definitely needs to check out your coffee making filming skills :D
You should do this at a comparison to the canon c70 and the bmpcc 4K/6k
Watches full video even though I have no interest in buying this (Sony a5000 bought off ebay with oem lens off a broken Nex5 bought off ebay). Very entertaining Kai W. Thanks YT algorithm
I dont think they added enough "cinema" features to justify an extra $500. No internal ND? No global shutter? And no EVF for some sort of arbitrary trendy expectation of what a cinema camera should be? Its almost a really cool camera
Let me just ask my bank real quick to see if i can afford that camera, Well they said no
They just got back with me and they said you need to work harder
@@mikeyestrada1674 my bank says you need money to borrow money
@@mikeyestrada1674 Harder, better, faster, stronger!
Idk why people are so mean. It’s a good job there are lots of excellent video cameras that I’m sure you can afford.
I won't even ask them. Computer says naahhh !!!
This was a weird move, why make a slightly more expensive version of the A7SIII minus a viewfinder (which many outdoor videographers live and die by), that’s not designed to take photos and an extra XLR adapter/handle included? Sometimes Sony makes really strange decisions that may confuse consumers and cannibalise their product line. The a7c made sense, a more affordable full frame option but this just seems redundant and dumb. I mean looks cool by why tho?
Anyways, great video as always. I’m glad you echoed the same criticisms.
What computer do you use to edit on Kai?
I like the cooling fan idea which a lot of reviewers seemed to not care about but when you record outdoors in hot weather or indoors with an air conditioner on but way too many people at an event where the A/C doesn't help much. A cooling fan like what is in the FX3 is useful this is coming from a A7IV owner.
Flexing that Supreme microphone.
Are these car garages at 5:03? Where have you shot it?
Kai got connections don't doubt that🤣
I'm pretty sure I will see this camera on all weddings in 2022
The camera body is sexy. I especially love the grip handle and what appears to be some great button layouts for video oriented use. However, not much extra is offered. Honestly, an EVF is something I’d still like.
The lack of a viewfinder is a NON-ISSUE because you are going to attach the BEST SCREEN QUALITY Asus or Samsung Tablet with the 4K resolution that you can afford onto the camera cage and use THOSE as your reference monitors via the HDMI port once you have properly colour corrected them with some 3rd party display management and 4K video recording software!
After that, you can set your ISO to 12800 and shoot some awesome night street imagery or some clear night sky time-lapse astrophotography on a 16mm, 35mm or 50mm F/1.2 lens!
This Sony FX-3 is actually quite an excellent camera! I have only THREE caveats!
No matter what ANYONE SAYS:
a) Always buy a camera cage with this so you can attach the external 4K resolution tablets
as a safety video file recorder and external monitor when properly colour calibrated.
b) Always get AT LEAST FOUR extra batteries!
c) ALWAYS get the fastest prime lenses you can afford!
No f/1.8's here! You WANT AND NEED f/1.2 prime lenses!
even if you have to use a Cinema PL-to-E-mount adapter!
The Canon R5 compares very well by being more ergonomic and weather resistant
and is slightly cheaper to this Sony BUT for cinema-specific imagery, Sony does have
more cinema-specific features that slightly edges out the Canon R5.
The Sony's up to ISO 400000+ extension is actually quite handy for my
deep woods get the critical night footage of the Western Canada Lynx
cat forays so that is ANOTHER win for Sony vs the R5.
Price-wise this camera is STARTING to intrude upon the Medium Format sensor
Fuji GFX-100s camera which is ANOTHER serious-quality camera to take a look
at if you can handle using the 24 fps and 30 fps modes (i.e. no 60 or 120 fps!)
for video on a Medium Format Sensor.
The colour rendition on the Fuji is SO STUNNING, that I would
at least CONSIDER it when compared to the Sony FX-3 and Canon R5.
Test them all and BUY the camera that has the BEST image quality
with the BEST battery life AND THE BEST LENSES!
v
red shure sm58 is looking mighty
prefer the extra mounts over the EVF. wouldnt surprise me to start seeing stills photos cameras starting coming without EVF, assuming they get a REALLY GOOD & BRIGHT display though
There are already some cameras without an evf for some years.
@@timwra professional photography cameras. not 50 buck toys
“Everything should have one hole in the bottom.” Bahahaha 🤣
is it youtube, or does it shoot 8 bit ? the dark regions in the close shot with the red mic look a bit pixelated. thnx for the vid.
Do we know if prores raw will pass thru the HDMI? If so this is likely going to be paired with the ninja V in all scenarios.
Sony: makes a serious cinema camera
Also Sony: doesn't integrate Cinema 4k
bruh moment
Like all past reviews this one is top notch. I wonder if mr bloom is going to review it also?
Nice watch 🤩
I've been using the A7sii for 6 years by now, been very happy with it (still am) and while I do miss 10-bit, what the A7siii and the FX3 offer to me as a filmmaker don't justify the price at all. To be honest, with how things are going I think I'll actually accept a cropped image and buy the Blackmagic Pocket 6k Pro next. It offers so much more... the only real downside to me is the lacking image stabilisation, but then again: I can buy a DJI RS2 and still be under the price tag of a FX3/A7siii.
Commenting ages after but whatever haha I have an A7III and a gimbal and it's the biggest pain in the neck to use on adverts shooting or weddings. Any time you change your lens (or even focal lenght if it's not internal zoom) you have to calibrate the gimbal again and it takes forever and drives anybody crazy. A very good ibis + rig cage is infinitely better to use
@@flaviotaneli144 Hehe no worries and I actually have to correct myself on this one: By now I own a FX3 and wonder why I was putting myself through so much hazzle. Still love my gimbal, but the FX3 makes it almost obsolete indeed. Almost! :) And I managed to sell the A7sii for a very decent price, which made the FX3 much more affordable/justifiable. I agree, Flavio!
I'm more confused about what this is after watching the video :'D
