I’ve only had my FX30 for a couple of weeks and when trying out Cine EI in a low light situation, I agree the footage is not as clean. For me it’s not even close. I was like many others convincing and telling myself to shoot at either ISO 800 or 2500 and nothing else… I’m so glad I finally decided to “break the rules” and push my ISO to wherever it needed to be. The results have been night and day for me. Solid breakdown man.
Nah I can't even lie the fx30 is still usable up to 6400 seen multiple tests showing it. Cause the noise can easily be removed up to tht point. And the in-between isos are clean as hell too. I've I shot a film on it and even sticking to the base iso of 2500 in super low light, with a 1.4 lens I was shocked how good the image was. Bit of clean up and it was amazing. Will say I think sony added better noise reduction overall in the fx30. But also the 6k to 4k downscaled image I think helps create more of a grain to the noise
@@MichaelWTurner 1000%. Once it gets the shutter angle update it's gonna be a legit tool on set. I love mine. Can't wait to release the film I shot with it last year
Good stuff, as always. I rented the FX3 for a job and shot the entire night scene in HLG ISO 12800, and the footage was clean (this was just dumb luck, as I had never used the camera before, and it was set to HLG by the previous user). I have had my eye on the FX30 for a while, but I have never shot with it.
I use custom LUTS in PPLUT slots on the FX30. You get all the dynamic range of Slog 3 without the headaches. No noise up to 3200 ISO or more. Even 100fps and 200fps are usable. Very easy to recover highlights and shawdows in post, lots of margins still

Sony made a really amazing, affordable cinema camera with the fx30. It punches way above the weightclass
