    I'm a simple man... when I see that a new camera is released, I go to TH-cam and find Gerald. It's that simple.

      I am still playing with the original Nikon Z6 shooting ProRes over HDMI on a Ninja V but I’m thinking of getting the Sony FX30 or FX3 (since Sony makes the video chip for both and I ASSUME the color science would be the same… ?) but I wonder which Sony would produce output similar to the Nikon Z6 or does a Ninja V for each make the moot???

      @softnest 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I am simpler than you. I watch whatever TH-cam suggested on new camera equipment. That’s why I am late to the party on commenting this video. This video shown up after I watched several Sony A6700 comparisons videos.

    Thanks for the review, as always! I know it's been a year, but congrats on the birth of your son!! As a parent of a 20 year old son and 17 year old daughter, I completely understand the challenges of juggling parenting and passion projects. I chose to set aside a career as a touring musician to be more present as a dad. So, thanks for making time for us and these videos!

    My son is just over 2 weeks old, and keeping up with photo/video work is... Well, I used to say things like "tiring" or "exhausting," but they don't feel applicable now. In any case, you look remarkably composed, and the video review is still top notch -- congrats and good work!

    Congrats on becoming a dad, Gerald! I can relate to what you're saying concerning the creation of TH-cam videos while growing into the role of a father as I'm facing the same challenge right now. But although it is very challenging, it is also the most rewarding thing in life, so make sure to enjoy it as much as you can! ❤️

    I started my TH-cam channel when my boy was born, when I watch those videos I realize I was just a sleep deprived man who was more documenting my decent into madness than camera reviews. You are still killing it. Congrats fatherhood is the best, until your kid tells you to stop taking pictures of them all the time.

    I think this is a very solid move by Sony and definitely going to sell out fast to the same general market the a7IV hit. Awesome review as always man!

  • @TheSmeagol630
    @TheSmeagol630 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Loved my a6500 back in the day...but that 34ms readout was BRUTAL. Great to see Sony willing to make an APS-C sensor with good rolling shutter.

    • @kennethHuo
      @kennethHuo 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am still using my A6500 with sigma 56mm and 16mm. Should I upgrade to this ?

  • @vaidehiarts
    @vaidehiarts ปีที่แล้ว +26

    This is almost a perfect camera for multi-cam setups where you don't want to spend too much but have a good clean image. I can also see this acting as a popular B-Cam for the A7S III, FX3 or a7 IV. In 6000 USD, you can get 2 of these and 1 of the a7 IV bodies. And use the lenses amongst them commonly. Thanks for the detailed review as always, Gerald :)

    @nitsugazemag ปีที่แล้ว

    Congrats 🥳 👶 🎉! I noticed the magenta tint in another video and thought it was just me. Thanks for affirming my observation lol. While I know how advanced Sony mirrorless has been over the years, the one giant thing that hinders me from switching over is the colors. I’m sure you can tweak the colors later having recorded in log, but I work with different cameras. I don’t think Sony would be a fit at work that our field cameras are Canon camcorders. Don’t get me wrong, these cameras are tempting, but the colors are problem when having to shell out videos asap. If only we had up-to-date workstations and a bigger budget for newer cameras, I’m sure we’d have Sony gear, not a Canon 80d and our camcorders to record events with. We have a mishmash of equipment and somehow make due 🤷‍♂️. Enjoy your detailed videos. Congrats again becoming a father! Savor these moments when they’re babies because they grow up fast 😊

    I've been waiting for a camera JUST LIKE THIS for years! I still love my Lumix S5 and I've been using that for a project with my friends, but kind of in that train where I want something a little lighter, and I've always hoped Sony should give up something APS-C that can at least do 10-bit video. I WANT that amazing autofocus. I am gonna have to start saving for this.

    I love how these cameras are video oriented, no viewfinder makes it so much cleaner especially if you plan on using an external monitor you can mount it on top and it’ll still look good.
    I still shoot photos so I’m the future I’d love a fx3 and a separate camera for photos but for the meantime I think I’m going to try to buy a Sony a7siii

  • @Mike0193Azul

    This was one of the first reviews I watched before I purchased my FX30. I love the colors I get shooting in S-Log3 and grading in Davinci Resolve, using the Color Space Transform.
    I've been using this camera for video projects at my 9 to 5, but I'm going to use it on a professional gig next week. I love this camera. It's a major upgrade for me coming from the T7i.

    For someone like me who had just upgraded to A7iv from a6500, and was thinking of liquidating APS-C glass, & getting a FX3 & slowly invest into FF glass- this might save me money now, as I will get the FX30, use it as a bcam, and save several thousands! I am stoked.
