I love my FX-3 it’s a great alternative for a small handheld camera or to fly on a gimbal. I used it primarily as my A Cam Before I purchased my FX-6 last November.
I finally ordered my FX3 this week and cannot wait. I used them when I was an in-house camera operator but I was never in a hurry to upgrade. Waaay too often our clients would say, 'oh that's a small camera, is it any good?' It really irks me about the size of gear relating to its performance. The same thing happened when we picked up some Rode GO II's.
Congrats on your purchase! So funny how that perception of 'bigger is better' just doesn't fly anymore. Enjoy your new camera and thanks for commenting.
I bought the FX-3 in 21 and picked up the FX-6 last year. Both of these cameras are excellent for my workflow (corporate video). The A7SIII was never an option for me as professional XLR audio is a must. The FX-3 is perfect for gimbal and the FX-6 is excellent for tripod work.
I’ve had mine since they first came out and I can honestly say that the only thing I wish it had was internal ND… and maybe shutter angle. But you learn to work around those “wishes”.
I have the Fx30. I bought it because majority of the cinema cameras used are S35 sensors. So I figured why not have my a cam be S35. I have the A74 as well and love it.
I own an FX3. Love it. I am saving up for an FX6 and some mid level FF cinema primes like the DZOs. Once that happens I'll sell my FS5m2 and buy a FX30 and keep all of my APS-C glass. Having 3 matched cameras with all of this versatility will be the ultimate. Right now.. rolling up on set with my FS5m2 decked out with shoulder rig and Shogun Inferno is impressive and professional looking enough for my clients to know they are getting their money's worth. I also really love the form factor of the FS5m2 and FX6. I like it more than the FX3, but the FX3 is incredible too!
It’s great to have those different camera bodies for different situations. Got a good game plan there. Enjoy the FX6 for when you get it. Thanks for commenting 😊
I just rented an FX3 this afternoon, and I’ve been up past midnight trying to manually set the aperture, the ISO and the white balance. Are there certain steps I need to take before it will let me set them to my specifications?
hi! i have a cuestión, does your camera have a small dark spot around the center of the sensor? please let me know, I'm a little scared of mine being bad from the store
If you only have full-frame lenses, would you pick the fx30 over the fx3? I'm in a dilemma whether or not I want to shell out that much $$$ for a fx3 over a fx30. I have the 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8
@@jemlang ja open gate is the thing now with social media. I am glad fuji and panasonic made it affordable its crazy you can have it on a 2000 camera but not on a Sony twice the price
Do you have the Sony FX3? Are you still loving it or do you wish you had something else?
I’m buying mine tomorrow can’t wait to test it on the field !
Hey congrats! Enjoy your new camera!
I think, depending on what Nikon release in the next few months, we'll either pickup the Nikon camera or the FX3 to add to our equipment list.
I am a new TH-camr too, don't drink when you talk, take your audience's time. Dude. Amateur

The image quality of the FX30 is fantastic! Great combo you got there

How about Sony fx30
Great camera. I talk about it in the video.
Have an A7Siii, and in 2023, will we pickup another A7Siii, an FX3, or the coming Nikon CINE camera? :)
I just rented an FX3 this afternoon, and I’ve been up past midnight trying to manually set the aperture, the ISO and the white balance. Are there certain steps I need to take before it will let me set them to my specifications?
I have a fx30, and the next is the fx3. I don’t need any cameras more.
How are you finding the FX30?
We need the FX3 Pro - everything the C70 and BMCC6k Pro has…. Large screen, built in NDs, Raw etc. dream cam!
Now that would be a dream cam! You had me at internal ND’s
Isn't that an FX6?
@@danbrockettDOP FX6 is too cumblesome for gimbal work. I hope there can be a beef up version of fx3 with built in ND but remain the same form.
@@shem44 Agree 100%. FX3 for gimbal all day long over the FX6.
nice video Jem!!! I just purchased fx3 today and I'm also in Australia haha
Thanks Jarvis. How you enjoying the FX3? Great to connect with other Aussies on here 😄
Great breakdown! 🔥

No that doesn't sound right. Are you able to link an example with some footage?

Hi Scooby. If I had the money I would still go with the FX3. If budget is tight though then the FX30 would be a great purchase.
Love it Jem!
Best camera babbyyyy
Sure is!
I just picked up a used Fx3 for $2700 USD online. Would you say thats a good deal? I had an a7siii but I sold it in order to get this fx3
That sounds like a fair deal! How are you finding it compared to the A7SIII?
Your naked sensor is terrifying.
haha
Nice video
I would not biy this camera until it has open gate recording. Sony really missed the boat here
To my knowledge none of the Sony cameras have open gate. Would love to see this in future models.

@@andersistbesser I don’t think it will be long till we start seeing on Sony cameras
