Nice video, 🎉Amazing, I Am waiting the fx3 mark II rumors mention some new aspects like AI focus, screen like A7 RV, global shutter, I ver you know more, but do you know when probably they will reléase it?
We just filmed two short films on the FX3, and I couldn’t be happier with the results - or the process. The setup was quick and straightforward, and the autofocus made capturing moving shots effortless. With a smaller crew, we managed to shoot more footage in a day than we could have with a RED, making the FX3 an incredibly efficient choice.
The sensor on the FX3 is actually a 48 MP sensor that uses basically group 4 pixel sensors into one giant pixel sensor for low light such that it's called a 12 MP.
Nobody talks about the 4 channels of sound, and the audio mixes that attaches. I don't want to get into separate audio recorders. 4 channels gives you 2 channels with safety tracks. Or 4 actors with mics.
Nice video! 😁What you forgot to mention is that it’s an amazing camera (and the FX30) because it has a fan ventilation system, allowing you to record video even on hot days without worrying about it shutting down. I use this camera for outdoor videos in very sunny conditions (over 30°C), and I don’t even worry about it possibly turning off, unlike with other, cheaper or even more expensive options. For the image quality and everything it offers, it's by far the best choice among what's available.
Laser at festival damaged camera? That means it could damaged eyes of people in the audience. That is terrible. In a way you were probably lucky that your eyes were behind camera.
I finally sold my canon lenses and one canon R6 camera for a Sony FX3 and Sigma 24-70. It solves so many problems I have as a narrative Wedding Filmmaker (approaching weddings as a cinematographer and student of light) and TH-cam video creator. The clean clean footage at bith native ISO settings with so much dynamic range helps me do my job so much better and the tool gets out of the way.
Great video, I do think leaving out Lumix camera comparisons is a bit of a fault. Very good cameras in the at middle price range for people not wanting to spend $4k on a body.
Can't go wrong with FX30 and FX30 for video compared to other sony alpha cameras and non-sony cameras in the price range: * Dual card * Internal fan * Autofocus * 10 bit 4:2:2 with true 4K * Extremely valuable OTA updates (like adding shutter angle) * E mount lenses * External recording * Excellent apps like creators app and Monitor & control (we use ipad as wireless monitor and controller during podcast shoot) * Support for slog * BRAW recording * FX30 can be used as a still camera in a pinch (even did product shoot with it) * Both camera share same form factor. I JUST CAN'T RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH. I used other cameras as well but for video especially, the FX entry level is the most well thoughtout, well supported, consumer friendly camera I've ever used.
FX30 is just as god as the FX3. I have FX30 with ZV-E1 with APS-C 7Artisan Hope cinema lens series, and I'm saving for the Sirui Sniper autofocus and Night Walker manual focus lens set. For me, when I need the low light sensor, I probably need the better in-body mic, but the FX30 does most of the work and is a great gimbals camera for 60fps. I can't record raw video, but I can't afford the space for raw video so it works. Do do really wish I had raw video recording, but my skill level is right for the FX30/ZV-E1 combo. FUJIFILM X-M5 is 100% the best deal in 2024. That cameras is CRAZY for $800 new!!!
@@CAMTechChris Correction, both look great and slightly different. The FX30/A6700 is more sharp, which is a good creative choice. Neither is better. The FX30 does low light great, especially with the Sirui Night Walker and Sniper cinema lenses. For NO LIGHT, the FX3/ZV-E1/FX6/ZV-E1 will work best, but also too a A7C II or A7 IV APS-C mode will be even better than an FX30. In fact, you can even bipass the "built-in noise filter"/down sampling algorithm when you center crop the 33MP sensor, at which time you have APS-C sized 4K DCI sensor. You can use this difference to get different creative looks which can help when you have multiple simultaneous story lines. Using a different camera for each seen can help you know what story line it part of.
@@JamesCohenCaravan I think just no overheating problems. ZV E1 also has the dynamic active stabilization which is a step above the fx3. Also the inbuilt mic is better. I dont regret switching from the fx3 to the zv e1
I don´´t understand not to mention the Lumix S5II for the great features and price. The GH5 ist still good but i would recomend the S5 (I), when you are on a budget. You will get one for the same price like the Gh5.
I mean, i own a lumix, and I like what it offers and all. But i've been working on professional shoots with multiple fx3 and i would 100% do it again instead of my lumix. 2h battery, the dual iso is realy incredible, and the codecs are better Also the user experience is better than an hybrid. Dedicated buttons.
@@lucasvivante8988 i have a S5 (mk1) and the battery life it's not 2h but it's actually close, it has dual iso too and in V-LOG it's 640 and 4000 and in my opinion it's much more usable than the 12000 of the fx3. The user experience i think it depends too and how you program the lumix camera because i can do almost everything with all the buttons. I might agree with the codecs but i used both S5 and FX3 and the final result it's extremely close with 4k and log. So for the price difference (800€ for the S5 I used and 3k for the FX3) the fx3 isn't really 3 times better than the lumix in my opinion 😅
@@lucasvivante8988I have worked with fx3, and been operating the fx6 for 24 hours on locations, and own an s5iix paired with a Video Assist, and love my Lumix as much as I loved the FX6 (I prefer the BRAW that I get from my S5IIX, but the FX6 is a joy to use), not so much the fx3. The dual ISO is nice for low light, but it can be a pain when the light level is not enough for the first range and you have to jump to 12800 and ND it to get clean footage.
I bought my FX3 in 2022 and it’s an integral part of my workflow. I’m always exploring new features and ways to shoot with it. The autofocus is fantastic which is super important when I’m self shooting. In low light, there’s nothing I’ve worked with that comes close. Great video.
@@khetwalll It is a 12mp sensor camera. Wouldn't really recommend it for photos. Get an FX30 if you want primary video camera with decent photo capability.
@@imthirun FX30 is an ASP-C sensor vs the full frame FX3 sensor. That means it’s 1.5x smaller. Image quality is definitely not simply about megapixel count. The FX3 has significantly better low light sensitivity and has a dual base ISO of 800, and 12,800. It’s better at noise reduction as well. The FX30 has a dual base ISO of 800, and 2500. It can’t compete in low light or noise. I’m sure you’ll get great images from the FX30, but it’s half the price of the FX3. I don’t think you can make a bad choice, but my experience with the FX3 is that it takes fantastic video, and excellent photos as a bonus. My workflow is 95% video, 5% photos, so it’s been very good for me.
Main exposure got from “The Creator by Gareth Edwards” Hollywood movie that it. And second things is they add shutter angle, before adding shutter angle Gareth Edwards made a movie with this FX3 and DJI gimbal.
Skip out on the a7Siii unless you get a used one for $2,000 usd. Its not worth it anymore because it doesn't get the firmware updates like the FX3 gets. And you'll prefer the cinema body over the photography body especially when the cinema camera is always on a cage.
Sony A7Siii is great. Only missing a couple features and good ergonomics especially in bright sunlight with the beautiful viewfinder. It's good for photography especially low light. 12mp is still good for most people.
@@mauibuilder1239 No its not. A7siii will never get the new firmware like the FX3 does. FX3 just got shutter angle, a7siii likely won't get it anymore or any other new features. Sony is solely focusing on their cinema cameras now.
Your audio is great. What mix are you using and how are you processing your audio? BTW. Great video. Made me want to get an FX. Specially since I already have a Sony A7S3 and could use a secondary camera that is modern instead of the A7C I have now which I can’t connect to the new Sony app to manage multiple cameras on my iPad
This hype has always been around since in 90's. But of course, the 5DM2 was the one camera that started this revolution, and many more cameras will continue this endeavor.
Reason why I went with the FX3 over the A7siii is because of the body and ergonomics. I came from an a7Sii since 2016 and it was one hella of video camera to use for its time. Once the a7Siii came out in 2020, I was planning on getting it but insufficient funds didn't allow me to. Good thing it happened because the FX3 came out in 2021 and changed my mind to get the it instead of the a7Siii. I wanted a cinema camera without an EVF, had LED light, and have a fan! The FX3 had all these traits for the body which enticed me more than the a7Siii. Its one of the best investment I ever made for a camera and will continue to be by my side until I stop recording.
We are using the FX6 for most productions. It’s like the large sister of the FX6, but with inbuilt ND, external LCD and professional SDI output, we definitely need for all of our live broadcasting productions.
Problem with rercommeding micro 4/3 as earlier steps, step 3 and 4 is that they will have to buy into that system Once they are ready to step up to fx3, is really expensive move. Instead won't it be better fot begginers to get into the lower end Sony cameras or older models instead? Lenses or at the very least accessories can be reused.
If you dont have the money to go for the fx3, I would highly recommend the fx30 or even the a6700, if you are fine with one sd card slot. They shoot really good video and lenses for apsc are way cheaper. Apsc cameras arent as good in low light, but in every other scenario you can get basically 95% the same shots as an fx3. And remember, in the end gear doesnt matter. Just plan your video well and make it!
The FX3 is still the best overall cinema camera on the market. It’s still selling so well that instead of replacing it, Sony announces firmware updates a year out.
I still have two floppy based Mavica cameras. The photos are laughable by today's standards, but back in the 90s, I actually had to SHRINK them down to about 320x200 to post online, so that .3 MP resolution was way more than I needed.
2:17 while being true a big sensor is not necessary to produce very good picture. Take Arri Alexa 35, with a so called “crop factor” sensor and it have 17+ stop of dynamic range and produces one of the best image out there. Then the Arri Alexa mini, or the Red Komodo or Komodo-X. All crop with high dynamic range and producing terrific image that people are trying to reproduced with their Sony FX-3
Hmm. And what does an Arri Alexa 35 cost, or the mini, with bespoke sensor and supporting custom hardware and workflow? Because you are being VERY dishonest with that comparison. You are really out here saying "lol, this 80000 dollar body has a crop sensor. And it has 17 stops. FX3 u mad?" Maybe what you should do is say "Sure, you can get better out of a crop sensor but it will cost orders of magnitude (or at least 2x) the cost of this measly FX3 before rigging and before the time and effort is baked in to make it work on set".
@ cost is not the point! This community on TH-cam keep for so long pushing this ideas that if it’s not full frame it’s not great! Keep pushing the ideas that crop factor is not great! If you really want to be honest you can have a great picture today with your iPhone 15 Pro or 16 Pro, which 3 time cheaper than an FX3, or with an FX30 which is 2 time cheaper than the FX3! You can get great pictures out of a RED Komodo, not the X which with the latest price drop is more or less same price as a FX3. I guess you totally missed the point here! You don’t need full frame to get a good or great picture and it’s time to kill that myth. Yes full frame give your greater shallow depth of field and bokeh but you don’t see that often a movie entirely filmed wide open with thin depth of field everywhere. There is more than the sensor size to have a good picture such as lighting, composition, colour scheme, storyline, location, angle! A lot of the high end Hollywood movies are still shoot on crop sensor cameras and even when larger sensor might be used, depending of the resolution used or aspect ratio, those expensive camera will further crop in forward the middle of the sensor, same as you FX3 which doesn’t give you even in 4k UHD the full height of the sensor, its cropping on the top and bottom.
I own both FX3 and A7S3, I still think that they are literal reskin of each other. Having said that, the FX3 is a real workhorse, mine had sea water damage 2+ years ago, a lot of the internal parts are kinda rusting since then and cannot be fixed, but it still works like a charm, providing footage as beautiful as before the damage.
Is anyone stuck between deciding Black Magic Cinema 6K or Sony FX3? I love Black Magic’s colours and the sharpness of recording in 6k makes the image so satisfying to look at. But the FX3 has a bunch of great technologies.
Hi @Bruno_Kay how do you remove the separate bands that appear in the shadow gradient that shows up in the videos. like the one behind you in the top left corner? or is it just the YT compression thing one can do nothing about?
The FX3 is too expensive for me 🥹, but I’ll be buying the ZV-E1 next month. If I overlook the weaknesses of the ZV-E1, like overheating, will the ZV-E1 produce video of the same quality as the FX3? Considering that the FX3 and ZV-E1 use the same sensor
You can fully rig out a 2nd hand RED Camera for the same price as the FX3 Body and a single Lens. I recently brought a RED Scarlet-W, fully rigged it out plus managed to buy 2 PL Lenses for it all for £3200 which is £300 cheaper than the body only from CVP...
Prolly cuz it’s a Netflix approved camera with the same sensor and specs as fx6 but 2 grand cheaper. Shutter angle got added to the fx3 as well now. And ibis. That’s why I’d get it.
Great channel + video & FX3 camera. If only it had a tilted screen instead of swivel one. I'm mainly a photographer doing video partly. But even for video I really hate those swivel screens. So ending up putting an external monitor on top most of the times. Sadly(for me) more and more, if not almost all photo/video camera's go from tilted to swivel.. Lucky brands have models with screens that can do both.
Cool vid/edit! But for 4 bands a better deal is a Red Komodo if you value image quality above all (and global shutter!). I'd also cop the blackmagic 6k FF over this, too. Why? Because raw video, and internally, is so much more important than nightvision or auto focus ... image quality over all IMHO.
🔴 Bruno! Wicked editing, really outstanding video!! Sorry your BMP4K got wrecked, that much have really suck. The FX3 is next level! I started with GH5, loved it. Then jumped to full-frame with A7Siii (FX3 came out like 2 months after), grabbed a small full-time cage, no fan but has never over heated, not once. Sound been outstanding with Zoom H6, or Lav no need for XLR Adapter but can easily add a carry handle to the cage whenever. Funny I picked up Osmo Pocket 3about 1 year ago and really like it. My Sony A1 though is total BOSS! What do you use to edit your videos? How long did it take you to become so darn good? ...you totally rock man!
As a cheap starter camera with a 10 bit colour profile, you forgot to mention the Sony ZV-E10 II... And it is much more convenient to use than the Black Magic Pocket 4K for every type of video creation...
Beautiful camera, but the lack of viewfinder is a deal breaker for me. I'll stick to my S5IIX for now and explore Sony when i'll be better at filmmaking
Would love to get the FX3 but that’s a bit out of budget for me right now. I’m a beginner film maker with my dream being to make it into Hollywood some day. Planning on going to film school in college soon but I also want to start making short films at home. I was looking at the ZVE-10 as my first camera to start with. Is that a good beginner option in your opinion? I eventually want to get the FX3.
Any camera that was made in the last 8 years shots amazing footage! FX3 it’s great, but not to the level you say it is. I had it, and sold it, and got the S5II X and a blackmagic 12G video asist. And honestly, I think that the lumix beats it hands down on almost every level. Yeah the FX3 has better iso values and better autofocus, but that’s about it.
@ mate, the autofocus o the S5II X it’s almost the same as Sony. To autofocus it’s not something I use often. I use manual cine and anamorphic lenses, and even if I use an AF lens even then I use it manually. There are just certain shots that require AF the rest I need to control where my focus is.
@@35mmdigitalcinema If you use manual focus, the S5II is great for you. For me as a youtuber sitting in front of the camera talking , S5II won't be great for autfocus. I had issues with focus hunting with Sony A7III because I use my hands a lot while I'm talking but the new Sony cameras are just great for that. Believe me I'm dying to buy the Lumix but the autofocus is a deal breaker for me.
The actual body of the camera is not the expensive part, the lenses are what really drives the cost up, anyhow I'm so happy to see how much technology has not only improved but also has gotten more affordable, yes that is right, what you get now a days for what you pay is much more affordable than when I bought my F2 photomic many many years ago. . . ah the memories.
bro this was a damn documentary in 8 minutes and I loved it! editing style and storytelling is 11/10 amazing video, I actually went for the A7cii over the FX3 for the newer chip and it being an absolute power horse in an even smaller body, plus the retro silver style is such a vibe!
Technically this is awesome, I have been a fan of their engineering in many areas, their sensors, . . . loved my Vaio laptops but I need the weatherproofing of my old Canon digital SLRs I shoot oceanside often. When they get rugged I will buy.
I'm more surprised at the low marketshare of Fujifilm. A testament to echochambers, I'm a fuji guy and had the impression everyone was. On feelbased only I thought they'd be second on the list but big nooo to that evidently! lol

while also making terrible marvel movies and owning music rights and killing off people who get in their way

Also Spiderman and Music and owns part of OTTs and TV channels in many countries.. And phones but those aren't exactly doing well.

BTW. Great video. Made me want to get an FX. Specially since I already have a Sony A7S3 and could use a secondary camera that is modern instead of the A7C I have now which I can’t connect to the new Sony app to manage multiple cameras on my iPad
This hype has always been around since in 90's. But of course, the 5DM2 was the one camera that started this revolution, and many more cameras will continue this endeavor.
Reason why I went with the FX3 over the A7siii is because of the body and ergonomics. I came from an a7Sii since 2016 and it was one hella of video camera to use for its time. Once the a7Siii came out in 2020, I was planning on getting it but insufficient funds didn't allow me to. Good thing it happened because the FX3 came out in 2021 and changed my mind to get the it instead of the a7Siii.
I wanted a cinema camera without an EVF, had LED light, and have a fan! The FX3 had all these traits for the body which enticed me more than the a7Siii. Its one of the best investment I ever made for a camera and will continue to be by my side until I stop recording.
We are using the FX6 for most productions. It’s like the large sister of the FX6, but with inbuilt ND, external LCD and professional SDI output, we definitely need for all of our live broadcasting productions.
bro reall make video another level. so much work!
3:10 how?? How did you do that shot??
I think, it's done with a 360 cam, .like insta 360 x4 or something... On a magic arm ... 🤔
Great editing buddy ❤
I really enjoyed this explainer + review style Bruno! Very unique. Keep it up - excited to see where you take this channel 🙌.
wow bruno! what an opening!
Editing is LIT ! 🔥
How to give the lens distortion effect as you have given in the 1st second of the video ??
Great review but you forgot to mention one of the key win for the FX3: autofocus
Problem with rercommeding micro 4/3 as earlier steps, step 3 and 4 is that they will have to buy into that system Once they are ready to step up to fx3, is really expensive move. Instead won't it be better fot begginers to get into the lower end Sony cameras or older models instead? Lenses or at the very least accessories can be reused.
Really appreciate your advice on the camera levels. Just came to this conclusion ourselves in looking to upgrade from 1 camera to 3 for podcasts.
If you dont have the money to go for the fx3, I would highly recommend the fx30 or even the a6700, if you are fine with one sd card slot.
They shoot really good video and lenses for apsc are way cheaper.
Apsc cameras arent as good in low light, but in every other scenario you can get basically 95% the same shots as an fx3.
And remember, in the end gear doesnt matter. Just plan your video well and make it!
Love the intro and animations! Got me hooked instantly, great work 👌👏
Nice format, loved the vid
Man your editing is great!!
I appreciate that!
The FX3 is still the best overall cinema camera on the market. It’s still selling so well that instead of replacing it, Sony announces firmware updates a year out.
2:38 that's actually a LOT of fragments for such a great low-light camera.
Gareth Edwards scammed me
I still have two floppy based Mavica cameras. The photos are laughable by today's standards, but back in the 90s, I actually had to SHRINK them down to about 320x200 to post online, so that .3 MP resolution was way more than I needed.
Considering that cell phones are eating into the camera market - as a photographer...i am happy to see this ❤
How did you shoot the POV shots?
Would LIke to have someday! I currently own Fuji Xt3 happy about it, but SONY cams are wonderful.
2:17 while being true a big sensor is not necessary to produce very good picture. Take Arri Alexa 35, with a so called “crop factor” sensor and it have 17+ stop of dynamic range and produces one of the best image out there. Then the Arri Alexa mini, or the Red Komodo or Komodo-X. All crop with high dynamic range and producing terrific image that people are trying to reproduced with their Sony FX-3
Hmm. And what does an Arri Alexa 35 cost, or the mini, with bespoke sensor and supporting custom hardware and workflow?
Because you are being VERY dishonest with that comparison. You are really out here saying "lol, this 80000 dollar body has a crop sensor. And it has 17 stops. FX3 u mad?"
Maybe what you should do is say "Sure, you can get better out of a crop sensor but it will cost orders of magnitude (or at least 2x) the cost of this measly FX3 before rigging and before the time and effort is baked in to make it work on set".
@ cost is not the point! This community on TH-cam keep for so long pushing this ideas that if it’s not full frame it’s not great! Keep pushing the ideas that crop factor is not great!
If you really want to be honest you can have a great picture today with your iPhone 15 Pro or 16 Pro, which 3 time cheaper than an FX3, or with an FX30 which is 2 time cheaper than the FX3! You can get great pictures out of a RED Komodo, not the X which with the latest price drop is more or less same price as a FX3.
I guess you totally missed the point here! You don’t need full frame to get a good or great picture and it’s time to kill that myth. Yes full frame give your greater shallow depth of field and bokeh but you don’t see that often a movie entirely filmed wide open with thin depth of field everywhere. There is more than the sensor size to have a good picture such as lighting, composition, colour scheme, storyline, location, angle! A lot of the high end Hollywood movies are still shoot on crop sensor cameras and even when larger sensor might be used, depending of the resolution used or aspect ratio, those expensive camera will further crop in forward the middle of the sensor, same as you FX3 which doesn’t give you even in 4k UHD the full height of the sensor, its cropping on the top and bottom.
I own both FX3 and A7S3, I still think that they are literal reskin of each other.
Having said that, the FX3 is a real workhorse, mine had sea water damage 2+ years ago, a lot of the internal parts are kinda rusting since then and cannot be fixed, but it still works like a charm, providing footage as beautiful as before the damage.
do you have ost of this video?
such a cool music
I have two FX30s paired with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8, which are excellent -- so I can vouch for that combo being worth adding to the list.
Though this was gonna be about something from the sony Alpha A series, but I'm guessing that's more stills-focused as opposed to video.
Is anyone stuck between deciding Black Magic Cinema 6K or Sony FX3? I love Black Magic’s colours and the sharpness of recording in 6k makes the image so satisfying to look at. But the FX3 has a bunch of great technologies.
SICK video man. Holy shit.
Best purchase ever... I have had it for years and absolutely LOVE it
It’s just the best all-rounder. Point blank period!
I would love to purchase one but I’m too afraid of all the updates messing up cameras. Is it still going on?
It’s not at all a common occurrence, nothing to worry about.
Hi @Bruno_Kay how do you remove the separate bands that appear in the shadow gradient that shows up in the videos. like the one behind you in the top left corner? or is it just the YT compression thing one can do nothing about?
Sick video dude! As a canon shooter this is the one camera that makes me consider converting
Beautifully edited. great video.
Very nice overall video production quality. What software are you using for the editing and graphics? Subbed and I have an FX3 and love it.
Clip at the end earned my like
The FX3 is too expensive for me 🥹, but I’ll be buying the ZV-E1 next month. If I overlook the weaknesses of the ZV-E1, like overheating, will the ZV-E1 produce video of the same quality as the FX3? Considering that the FX3 and ZV-E1 use the same sensor
I have to say, I quite like that sound effect of the Sony camera powering up at 0:39, together with a nice reverb :)
You can fully rig out a 2nd hand RED Camera for the same price as the FX3 Body and a single Lens. I recently brought a RED Scarlet-W, fully rigged it out plus managed to buy 2 PL Lenses for it all for £3200 which is £300 cheaper than the body only from CVP...
Prolly cuz it’s a Netflix approved camera with the same sensor and specs as fx6 but 2 grand cheaper. Shutter angle got added to the fx3 as well now. And ibis. That’s why I’d get it.
Great channel + video & FX3 camera. If only it had a tilted screen instead of swivel one. I'm mainly a photographer doing video partly. But even for video I really hate those swivel screens. So ending up putting an external monitor on top most of the times. Sadly(for me) more and more, if not almost all photo/video camera's go from tilted to swivel.. Lucky brands have models with screens that can do both.
Cool vid/edit! But for 4 bands a better deal is a Red Komodo if you value image quality above all (and global shutter!). I'd also cop the blackmagic 6k FF over this, too. Why? Because raw video, and internally, is so much more important than nightvision or auto focus ... image quality over all IMHO.
Incredibly well produced man!! I got super excited when I saw my video thumbnail in that flick through of videos!! Haha keep up the super stuff
@00:58 I like how you placed an order on cameranu website when everybody uses b&h to show in the video lol
It just isn't good to buy via b&h for europe 😂😂
The OP3 is such a great camera! Along side my Fx3 ( literally ).
🔴 Bruno!
Wicked editing, really outstanding video!! Sorry your BMP4K got wrecked, that much have really suck. The FX3 is next level!
I started with GH5, loved it. Then jumped to full-frame with A7Siii (FX3 came out like 2 months after), grabbed a small full-time cage, no fan but has never over heated, not once. Sound been outstanding with Zoom H6, or Lav no need for XLR Adapter but can easily add a carry handle to the cage whenever. Funny I picked up Osmo Pocket 3about 1 year ago and really like it. My Sony A1 though is total BOSS!
What do you use to edit your videos?
How long did it take you to become so darn good? ...you totally rock man!
As a cheap starter camera with a 10 bit colour profile, you forgot to mention the Sony ZV-E10 II... And it is much more convenient to use than the Black Magic Pocket 4K for every type of video creation...
Beautiful camera, but the lack of viewfinder is a deal breaker for me. I'll stick to my S5IIX for now and explore Sony when i'll be better at filmmaking
Would love to get the FX3 but that’s a bit out of budget for me right now. I’m a beginner film maker with my dream being to make it into Hollywood some day. Planning on going to film school in college soon but I also want to start making short films at home. I was looking at the ZVE-10 as my first camera to start with. Is that a good beginner option in your opinion? I eventually want to get the FX3.
You would want the ZV-E1, not the ZV-E10!! ZV-E1 has the same sensor as FX3.. No Cine-EI or fan, but all the other goodies and more.
@@z352kdaf8324 thanks 💯
Any camera that was made in the last 8 years shots amazing footage! FX3 it’s great, but not to the level you say it is. I had it, and sold it, and got the S5II X and a blackmagic 12G video asist. And honestly, I think that the lumix beats it hands down on almost every level. Yeah the FX3 has better iso values and better autofocus, but that’s about it.
ISO and Autofocus are pretty big deals, tbh. Especially on a camera so small having a dedicated focus puller would be pretty awkward.
The auto focus and low light performance of Sony are the best. S5II is great and I want to it but the auto focus is important to me.
@ mate, the autofocus o the S5II X it’s almost the same as Sony. To autofocus it’s not something I use often. I use manual cine and anamorphic lenses, and even if I use an AF lens even then I use it manually. There are just certain shots that require AF the rest I need to control where my focus is.
@@35mmdigitalcinema If you use manual focus, the S5II is great for you. For me as a youtuber sitting in front of the camera talking , S5II won't be great for autfocus. I had issues with focus hunting with Sony A7III because I use my hands a lot while I'm talking but the new Sony cameras are just great for that.
Believe me I'm dying to buy the Lumix but the autofocus is a deal breaker for me.
@ rent it first
Wow! First time seeing this good sound design and montage! Great job man! Love it!
(Even though I don't like Sony cameras)
The production value of this was something else Bruno!
Stunning video mate, truly enjoyed !
The actual body of the camera is not the expensive part, the lenses are what really drives the cost up, anyhow I'm so happy to see how much technology has not only improved but also has gotten more affordable, yes that is right, what you get now a days for what you pay is much more affordable than when I bought my F2 photomic many many years ago. . . ah the memories.
Wow this is an amazing video! Didn't think i would stumble on one like this today. Keep it up man :D
Why not Sony a7 iv?
Great job, bravo !
I got two of them because I rent it out so often I can barely use it for my own projects. Made the money back thorugh rental alone
bro, on the cheap side? Sony ZV_E10 mark one and spacially mark ii are grate options.
just saying.
Do a video on the zv e1 plz
The end of the video is legendary!
I had two options s1h or fx3.
I am gald i choose S1H no regrets.
Vette video! Great Storytelling!
bro this was a damn documentary in 8 minutes and I loved it! editing style and storytelling is 11/10 amazing video, I actually went for the A7cii over the FX3 for the newer chip and it being an absolute power horse in an even smaller body, plus the retro silver style is such a vibe!
Fx3 II
Subscribing because of the last clip, but the whole video was really solid! I would love to see some old Mavica images. See how they hold up today.
Technically this is awesome, I have been a fan of their engineering in many areas, their sensors, . . . loved my Vaio laptops but I need the weatherproofing of my old Canon digital SLRs I shoot oceanside often. When they get rugged I will buy.
I'm more surprised at the low marketshare of Fujifilm. A testament to echochambers, I'm a fuji guy and had the impression everyone was. On feelbased only I thought they'd be second on the list but big nooo to that evidently! lol
If it had an evf it would be the perfect camera.
