I got the A7SIII before the FX3 was announced, and honestly... I'm cool with it. I also use the A7SIII as a stills cam, so I prefer the body. I do really covet that top handle with the integrated audio.
You are the only filmmaker on youtube who I know that really transmit the vibe that gear doesnt matter and motive people to improve the craft rather than buying gear! I love your work Danny! You are a rockstar
In the middle of deciding to get this camera or the 6kpro and have watch probably every review out there. And I have to say this was by far one of the best. Actually watched it to the end. Some great shots and very funny. Definitely got a new subscriber out of me.
HAHAH , please never change. i now this is not a tipical review but never change . you are one of the five youtuber that dont make me feel anxiety for all the things that i cant have and love thats that i have (sory for mi ingles). i love you to .from argentina
I LOVE the first three minutes!!! SO great. I was so excited, I thought the WHOLE video was going to be like that. ALSO, you’re an *above* average filmmaker.
Just now catching this, thanks for such a spot on "review". Love you for your mind, Danny, I get great zen moments watching you work. If you haven't figured out a solution, maybe I can help with your girth problem. 🤣 I use tennis racket grip tape, overgrip. It's not sticky. I've had it on plenty of mics.
I hardly ever subscribe to some channels, because I know they're not so important to me. Sometimes when I'm bored I'll just go there and watch or listen some videos. I only press subscribe button, when profiles, in my opinion deserves to be more recognized and will help me also. Like I saw your first video months ago, and thought "ehh.. another youtuber talking about camera, gears and filming process..." and youtube lately suggested me more of your videos, and I started to watch more of your videos and this is the one when I realized that you put really good effort in your videos and your videos will help me also with filmmaking. So I subscribed, because I know that this guy will not waste my time. He will suggest or talk about something that can change my life :) Not the greatest english, but I think you understood me. Never apologize to anyone about how you speak in other language. Let them try to speak in your native language :) Anyways, thank you for making amazing videos, will be waiting more of them and try to learn something new from them!
The big takeaway from this video are the air quotes you threw around 'film makers' at 8:28. TH-cam has a huge trend of calling everything cinematic and labelling every video as a 'film' - when the majority of projects shown around here are independents shooting clips for their own enjoyment. And that's the most important part - that's what emanates from your presentations the most: having fun. As you mentioned, capturing high quality video and editing them together has never been easier (from a technical standpoint). Enjoying the process is what gets us through the hard work that is required to create something engaging. Using four days to include a creative joke as an intro to a camera review is a great example of that. People shouldn't get hung up on the TH-cam buzzwords, but to prioritize their own interests and derive meaning and enjoyment from them. This video encapsulates that ideology well.
Danny, I admire your passion and creativity for video. Keep sharing & inspiring. I found your rare camera review of the fx3 useful. Much love and respect ✊
Dude - felt like throwing on a 70's-era light blue frilly leisure suit there at the beginning. And then you dropped "girth" on us later... basically the perfect gear review vid!
If you grab a v90 sd card you can shoot in the highest codec you just can’t go full 4K 120fps. However I somehow managed to get 120 4K in s&q mode on just a v90 card.
Love seeing all your amazing filmmaking talent but also feeling like you’re just having a casual chat with the viewer. I’m just getting into filmmaking on my phone and am really looking for a solid hybrid camera that does 4k 60 uncropped. I definitely Sony has a brighter future than Canon for how much they’ve improved their cameras over the past few years!
i also recently got this camera & had it overheat when i was doing some 4k 60 w/ my friend's band. glad to know it's not just mine cause all the reviews i saw were tellin' me they never had it overheat. i just changed the heat tolerance up to high, hopefully that helps the situation!
I’d love to know how you set up your own LUT to always use. And where you set exposure to always get the best results when adding your LUT’s. Vids look amazing!
Just got one and it’s hard to get the shadows in slow motion to not look noisy. Maybe I just don’t know what i am doing but it does clean up at 12800 ISO. It’s just a lot to learn little things from my a6600 which doesn’t have it. Maybe I don’t know how to properly grade slog 3? Maybe slow motion adds noise?
What about when you shoot in 4K + proxy files simultaneously. I had a friend who owns it and says it overheats when shooting like this. I need proxy files to send to my editors. Any advice? Do I need to upgrade to a FX6?
Danny likes THICCC mics. Hahaha. Great video. Definitely trying to learn from your style as a youtuber, because even your talking head vids are entertaining. I'm totally with you on pretty much all these points. While I don't have an FX3, I've got the FX9, and an A7iii, and there's times I got for A7iii simply because it's smaller and lighter and faster to work with. I'm saving for an FX3 as a B-Cam to the FX9, that'll honestly probably get just as much more more use on run and gun projects, with the FX9 being mainly for the larger corporate jobs, or bigger short film type jobs. I do love how your channel isn't normally gear focused. There's no way as a small channel I could ever stay on top of the latest gear to be able to compete with a lot of those channels, so it's good to see there can be success without constant camera reviews. This comment was really ADHD haha.
Wish they sold it with out the handle and actually seems an A7sIII would be "better" with an EVF since they are both the same camera inside... Thanks man, love your videos
hey man! I strongly suggest transcoding to ProRes for premiere. I work on PC and that is what I do for my A7SIII I transcode it to ProRes 4:4:4 with HLG support. Use media encoder for that. Literally makes the computer feel like it is editing 1080p. It is NUTS! Even 4K 120fps is buttery Smooth in premiere. And it edits much nicer with Lumetri Color IMO.
Hey my man ! Love how all your videos are moving :) How do you expose skin tones in your dark moody way without getting noisey images. They are just so beautiful.
If you were to do a Solo doc shoot that's a week long and a few different locations and ending at a festival. Would you use this or go for the fx6 or even the Canon C300 Mark 3?
Hey man question! I know you said you only shoot at 640 and 12,800 iso and control the light with variable ND or f-stop. My question is, if your on ISO 640 and your lens is wide open, but your still just slightly too dark, would you jump all the way up to 12,800 iso, and go extreme on the variable ND? Or if you were that close, would you just bump up the iso to like 800-1000 even though its not a native iso?
As an experienced cinematographer who owns an FS7 and just purchased the FX3, I appreciate your honesty and humility. I myself am trying to figure out how best to use this camera. I just shot a two camera interview with the FX3 as 2nd CU camera set on auto focus with a Sony 85/1.4 lens. Worked out perfectly. This is one application. Would I, should I go out and use the FX3 as the principal interview camera? That is what I am weighing against what you mentioned re: will producers feel like I'm somehow cheating them by using this as opposed to the FS7 which they sometimes request. Another filmmaker mentioned asked "does this camera look professional" and he decided that putting a matte box in front does the job. Maybe that's the solution for that.
![ARE THEY BASICALLY THE SAME?! Sony FX3 vs A7s iii Breakdown [and why I'm buying an FX3]](/img/n.gif)
Anyone else walking around with a small package?
lol
Used to but now it’s medium. Upgraded to the FX6! 😃 ha
I got the A7SIII before the FX3 was announced, and honestly... I'm cool with it. I also use the A7SIII as a stills cam, so I prefer the body. I do really covet that top handle with the integrated audio.
Panasonic S5 🙌
Yeah 😒
Danny, best intro I've ever seen for a camera review.
I second this statement!
Hahahah thanks bro
100% agree
Yip... Straight subscribe after that 👌🏼
@@DannyGevirtz Try resolve man! It'll change your life
You are the only filmmaker on youtube who I know that really transmit the vibe that gear doesnt matter and motive people to improve the craft rather than buying gear! I love your work Danny! You are a rockstar
agree on the colors. since the a7siii all these new Sony's shoot beautifully.
Holy cow! I thought I was going insane when I heard my name on one of your videos- nope- it was real life! Loved this one too!
Hahahaha thanks for feeding my content man!
Matteo Bertoli and fans are going to have an aneurysm about autofocus being used for that entire documentary 😂
In the middle of deciding to get this camera or the 6kpro and have watch probably every review out there. And I have to say this was by far one of the best. Actually watched it to the end. Some great shots and very funny. Definitely got a new subscriber out of me.
HAHAH , please never change. i now this is not a tipical review but never change . you are one of the five youtuber that dont make me feel anxiety for all the things that i cant have and love thats that i have (sory for mi ingles). i love you to .from argentina
okay wait that intro was the best thing i have ever seen on a camera review ever
Love how you present your story....
I LOVE the first three minutes!!! SO great. I was so excited, I thought the WHOLE video was going to be like that. ALSO, you’re an *above* average filmmaker.
Haha thanks Karly!
Can we please appreciate all those wonderful cinematic shots in this??
I always enjoy watching your videos, I normally play them more than once. Keep up the great work, its so genuine.
Thanks so much man! Appreciate the double play!
Love the music choices!! Beautiful voice over, love the choice of wordplay. Music to my ears. Great video. RIP Danny’s C200 :(
Thanks Angelo!!
This intro was so awesome, seriously great! 🔥
love your videos bro. such good calm energy
Just now catching this, thanks for such a spot on "review". Love you for your mind, Danny, I get great zen moments watching you work. If you haven't figured out a solution, maybe I can help with your girth problem. 🤣 I use tennis racket grip tape, overgrip. It's not sticky. I've had it on plenty of mics.
thanks for your humble opinion. made it easy for me switch one of my a9ii for FX3 mahalo!
that intro sequence was super enjoyable! wth! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You say the intro was nonsense, but it was amazing. Love the review Danny!
Really glad I have discovered you Danny, just a really cool laid back approach to explaining to what I need and in a very humorous way ! thanks :)
Dude you are my absolute favorite human on youtube
7:58 Smartest thing I've ever heard on any high tech youtube channel ever. Thank you.
Instant subscribing.
Haha thank you!
You one sick dude! 🔥🔥🔥 I love your mind! Epic story, you just a dope DOP

Dear lord that intro was amazing
those shots on the fx3 are beautiful ….
This is awesome! Love the intro. Great job, Danny. I love your work!

This is the most beautiful intro ever.
Well that's the best camera reviews I've watched ever
Danny, I admire your passion and creativity for video. Keep sharing & inspiring.
I found your rare camera review of the fx3 useful.
Much love and respect ✊
For the temperature, find the power off temp setting and set to high. It last pretty much forever unless you shoot 4k 120 for a long time
That intro 😂 Been on the edge about buying this camera...apologise to my bank account right now Danny.
Haha thanks bro!
Haha that intro, good stuff man. Glad you are happy with the new rig!
Dude - felt like throwing on a 70's-era light blue frilly leisure suit there at the beginning. And then you dropped "girth" on us later... basically the perfect gear review vid!
hahaha, the intro was gold!! :D Glad you happy with the FX3 man, good review.
ONLY DANNY FUCKING GEVIRTZ makes a review that is this entertaining and useful!
I am thinking to buy this fx3..
thank you for the review
Almost woke up the twins, I laughed so hard at the intro!😂
Hahaha I would have never forgiven myself if I broke the rare peace in your home

Loved the intro and the honest review.
Nice intro! And you sold me on renting the FX3 👌🏽
Good review! I like your practical approach to FX3🙂
That was the greatest intro to a video I’ve ever seen!!!
never seen any video from you, but i like your style man, thanks for this review, SUBBED!
i also recently got this camera & had it overheat when i was doing some 4k 60 w/ my friend's band. glad to know it's not just mine cause all the reviews i saw were tellin' me they never had it overheat. i just changed the heat tolerance up to high, hopefully that helps the situation!
that intro was D.O.P.E A.F Danny !!! now i'm looking to my A7iii with disgust and anger .... thanks for the awesome video !! needed that today :)
Greetings from Germany - awesome Review. Love this camera, too 🙏🏻
Doesn’t matter what Danny shoots with, it’ll always look good. Danny camera king.
Intro valid af!! Keep thriving my guy... I’m making my next step up from a6100 !!!
Danny, you are a fucking boss. that 2 mins where LIT. Hope you make a tutorial to create that oldie look in premier. cheer mate.
TH-cam compression loves your grain
you can see how happy he is with the fx3 just by the way he talks
0:49, there's some gold ready to dig.
A+ on the intro.
The dramatic reenactment HAD me 😂
Hahah thanks man!
I’d love to know how you set up your own LUT to always use. And where you set exposure to always get the best results when adding your LUT’s. Vids look amazing!
Damn! I wish i can buy this camera in the future! Thanks for this danny. You are so good at what you are doing.
I love your videos, thanks. YOU TRULY ARE NOT LIKE ANY OTHER.
Just got one and it’s hard to get the shadows in slow motion to not look noisy. Maybe I just don’t know what i am doing but it does clean up at 12800 ISO. It’s just a lot to learn little things from my a6600 which doesn’t have it. Maybe I don’t know how to properly grade slog 3? Maybe slow motion adds noise?
Ridiculously insane!! haha that was amazing so appreciated that intro!
What about when you shoot in 4K + proxy files simultaneously. I had a friend who owns it and says it overheats when shooting like this. I need proxy files to send to my editors. Any advice? Do I need to upgrade to a FX6?
Good stuff Danny. I picked one up recently, and I am loving it!
Honestly that camera suits you, amazing looking footage too! Great video, thank you 🙏🏼
The perfect review for me. Thanks.
Great video man! Been loving my Fx3, its perfect for a one man band
Dude! Your stuff is great! Get the Sony FX6 for the bigger rig look and FX3 for gimbal and tighter spots. 😃
Please make a similar LUT to this for S-Cinetone! ( I know technically its made to not a require a LUT but still 🤣)
Best camera review ever! Are you exposing SLog3 at +2 or just to eye?
ok sold.
Danny likes THICCC mics. Hahaha. Great video. Definitely trying to learn from your style as a youtuber, because even your talking head vids are entertaining.

Love the intro. The real question though is... why is the FX3 only $3800 in the US? Costs about $5500 here in Europe lol
love the intro 😅🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while
Wish they sold it with out the handle and actually seems an A7sIII would be "better" with an EVF since they are both the same camera inside... Thanks man, love your videos

Can you do a video of your FX3 video settings?
I did! It’s called “getting the best out of th fx3” or something
there is a setting to not overheat!! or at least shut down!!
That intro 😂😂 that was absolutely fantastic!!
Thank you for the inspiration video
Great intro!!
Hey my man ! Love how all your videos are moving :)
How do you expose skin tones in your dark moody way without getting noisey images. They are just so beautiful.
