    The FX30 just makes so much sense for me in terms of workflow. It’d be nice to have the 12,800 ISO of the FX3 and an uncropped better 4K120p, but I realized to myself I NEVER SHOOT at those settings.
    I’m always lighting my shoots properly and this just makes sense. As for 120p, I think I’ve moved past that stage in my career where I rarely use super slow motion. Been really loving this lil camera.

    It’s funny we always say “crop sensor” or “crop factor.” Hollywood used S35 in film cameras and the original digital cinema cameras. FF is a new thing. Hey it’s a great tool. But I feel like we forget that the standard has been S35 for ever. So while the new standard is FF, that is a new development recently. S35 is the FOV in all of the classic movies. This being said, obviously FF and 12,500 iso is killer.

    I shoot corporate video. I own an FX-6 (A Cam) and an FX-3 (B-Cam). I just ordered the FX-30 as my C Cam. When you are on a job in which the client is depending on you, you can never have too much backup. If something should go wrong with a camera a Pro needs to be able to pivot. I’ve seen jobs (signed contract, thousands paid) where a camera happens to drop from a bag or malfunctions at the worst time, etc in which the production had to stop. Why? because there were no other cameras as backup. The client is very upset (understandably so) because they expect a professional to have a backup plan just in case anything should happen.
    My mentor advised me of this: “you should not be in business charging people money if you don’t have a second camera body ready to go to in the event of an emergency. If you cannot afford two…then you cannot afford one”

    Nice to see you giving this camera it's fair do's. There's definitely benefits to shooting super 35 (this has always been the standard for film, after all). If people can't get a pro level image out of this camera, then I think they need to go and reevaluate their filming techniques. This is a much more professional camera than it was marketed as.

  • @paperstacksfilms

    Whileni do wish i had the low light capabilities of the fx3, this camera actually handles lowlight pretty well at its higher base iso. And coming from a canon 90d which is only four years younger, the advancements that have been made in apsc/super 35 sensore in terms of low light are mind blowing. Just shot a ahort film on mine and it handled some super underexposed scenes very well

    I ended up going with the FX3 for my purposes. I wanted the low light performance of full frame really badly so I ended up splurging for the extra. I will say, while I really love my camera and plan on keeping it and using it for many years to come, I don't know how much better the FX3 would have been than the FX30. The only con really seems to be the low light performance, for almost half the price. Definitely a killer deal, but I think this camera and the FX3 will go down as the two best cameras for videographers (while still being relatively inexpensive).

    @infinitesimulationstv 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yes you actually do need 12,800 when you stop your lens down. For green screen we need to use a lower aperature to get the image a sharp as possible (f/5.6) so you can get a clean green screen key. While at normal lighting, ISO 2500 works well for f/5.6, but there is more noise in the shadows, which really matters for green screen keying. An A7C MK1 has 3200 base ISO, so that would work better for green screen, but there is no 10-bit 420 on the HDMI 😞. I was stoked about the FX30 until I found out that it's center cropped when recording 4K HDR via the HDMI. It's a 6K sensor center cropped, so it crops in about 25%. OUCH! I was hoping to use the Sony 10-20mm f/4 OSS G lens but that ruins it.

    This is really a great video about the FX30. I am a full frame shooter, but for the price may be I will buy one or two of them. On weddings I am filming with prime lenses, so I rarely shoot with more then 2000 ISO. So ISO 800 and 2500 would be perfect for me. Shooting with ISO 12800 I would need a ND filter.

The FX30 looks like a great option for me and I've seen some great looking images from the camera. I totally agree with you in regards to shutter angle, it would be great to see it added in a future firmware update. I use it all the time on the Sony FS5, super handy when changing frame rates.

      @@nickkyriakidis I just had a look at the variable shutter option. It’s great if you want to get a 1/48 shutter speed at 24fps. Also great for removing unwanted flicker in certain lights and LED displays. It’s still an implementation of shutter speed rather than shutter angle though.
      I use shutter angle a lot as I tend to switch frame rates during my shoots. Setting my shutter angle to 180 degrees and not having to manually change the shutter speed manually every time I switch frame rates is really nice.

    I used my canon r6 with a 35mm prime for over a year for my professional jobs. Great camera with c-log 3 but for certain jobs it would overheat in 4K which would force me to shoot in 1080p. Anyways I knew I needed to switch to Sony and I got the fx30! I absolutely love this camera it’s amazing! And considering the body and lens combo is $900 cheaper than my canon option it still has superior video features and quality! I love s-log 3 and I don’t have issues with low light. Anyways my point here is that Sony is superior in terms of videos no comp and I hope I can make enough money to afford the fx3 mii or whatever it will be called when it comes out!

    Good point on Shutter Angle. Panasonic is the only camera maker that has had shutter angle in virtually all of their models. At least Sony gave us 1/48 in the meantime. But, unless we can do this for all frame rates like 60fps, 120fps, it just becomes frustrating. If Panasonic can do it, Sony can do it.
    I think the claims of "micro four thirds is dead" and "crop sensors are dead" are stupid assertions by people who don't even work in film or video. I shot a feature film with the GH5, and it was quite popular at every film festival it appeared in. It won "Audience Favorite" at the Palm Springs Film Festival in 2019. That's pretty good for a movie shot with a micro four thirds sensor.

      I still have an old sony fs100 and it had a firmware update a year after it launched and guess what where one of the new features? Yes, shutter angle. So if they could do it 10 years ago there shouldn't be any reason they can't do it today, Other than they are more interested in you not using generic batteries than giving more useful features (update v3.0)

    Yes I really need 12,800 iso hahaha but not always because of late night shooting... No one seems to comprehend the benefit of having such a high iso when shooting 60fps or 120fps indoors or in less than sunlight situations. People seem to really forget how much more light you need when you start slowing things down... Especially with the HD 240fps which is incredible now with Davinci Resolve's super scaling feature to upscale the footage to 4k! But I'd imagine most people who actually use/need high iso performance understand the why/how so they probably aren't considering an FX30 in the first place! Personally I shoot with the a1 and a7SIII and find having the range of native iso values between the two cameras to literally cover every scenario I come across! Now I just need to pick up a Komodo X and my setup will be complete hahaha
