See it here first. I talk all about the low light performance and match it up against the Sony A7IV and also against the Sony FX6. These two cameras are amazing cameras in Sony's full frame range. Can they beat the new camera on the block.
The Sony FX30 is an APS-C sensor and it is the newest camera in the Sony Cinema Line.
It performs like an absolute beast in many different situations but it does seem to perform a little under the two full frame cameras.
Nonetheless the Sony FX30 will be considered to be a perfect A camera or B camera for a lot of filmmakers.
Adding 4k 120fps, RAW external recording, 6k downsampled 4k footage, superb auto focus capabilities and overall more features than the FX3!
Some of my favourite Sony A7IV features are found in this camera such as focus breathing compensation, focus mapping, clear image zoom, active steadyshot and variable shutter.

Really appreciate the content you're pushing out. One comment, as others have stated, this is more of a high ISO test. We really need to see how the camera performs in a true low light + high iso situation like a poorly lit wedding reception dance floor. Thanks for taking the time to put these together! 99 percent sure I'll be adding the FX30 as an A cam to my a7iv.
yep, i was expecting to actually see some low light footage.
The room looks well lit because the ISO is up high to exposure the shot with middle grey 1.7 stops over. You are most likely thinking of a "I stuffed up my exposure and completely under exposed the shot" test. I recommend you watch a latitude test video or under exposure test video. I would also recommend no-one underexpose any camera and learn to exposure in-camera correctly for optimal results
by low light you are meaning I screwed up my exposure in camera and under exposed. This is just incorrect filmmaking and usage of the tool
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema ok, yeah Jason i see what you are saying. I was expecting like a low light night shot.
@@digitalflick when I get my hands on the camera again I will do this. Unfortunately I didn’t get enough time with it sorry
Thanks for showing a good example of the difference between the rolling shutter performance between the fx30, fx6 and a7iv!
thank you for watching
Thank you so much for the test of FX30, giving me lots of information. You even compare it with another 2 cameras.
Been watching lots of your video but apparently I haven't hit that subscribe button, now you got 1 more.
Can't wait to watch more videos from ur channel. Cheers mate, thumbs up.
btw my fave vids are related to Sony A6000 or APSC since I just got mine a month ago.
This wasn't low light at all. This was high ISO. There's a difference. High ISO with plenty of light still results in a solid image. Low light is where image artifacts happen.
x2 on this. I'd like to see a real world example like a dark dance floor at a wedding reception. That would be the true test IMO.

@@JasonMorrisphotocinema do u realy know what lowlight is ? 😂😂😂
@@dachi9789 dude this is low light. I boosted the ISO so that it actually looks bright. Clearly you do not understand how ISO works. It increases the sensitivity to light and makes the image more exposed. There are clearly 16 people here that don’t understand actual concept of light gather into sensors including yourself. I will explain this in another video to people who do not understand camera technology. I mean, you can explain it in your words on your channel if you like? I will happily watch your skills
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I agree with you, still would love to see more examples, a little variation... different colors... light from the refrigerator. Low balanced high-CRI light doesn't make a lot of sense unless you want to reduce the battery consumption on your lights. Thanks for the comparison, though.
Thanks Jason- Would you say for mostly outdoor run and gun shooting is it worth getting over the fx3 considering the price point? Questioning whether I really need the full frame in fx3.
Omg. The A7iv looks clean.. beautiful. Even though the fx30 is cleaner than the FX6. The A7Iv is crystal. Big difference. Rolling shutter theory. I totally agree. Pointless discussion for most people. Btw. Put the a7iv in crop mode rolling shutter improves. Prob like the fx30. If it really matters to anyone. Great video. Looks like your sponsors are stepping up. Sony is also supporting you. Well done man. Respect.
Supposedly the A7iv’s rolling shutter is actually better than the FX30 at APSC crop. 13ms for A7IV and 15ms for FX30.
Yeah. right tool for the right job haha. thanks for the kind words
Plus I can take photos with it
@@Atlasfilms08 looking forward to comparison between a7iv s35 vs fx30
The A7IV didn’t look any cleaner than the FX30 to me. And the A7IV is $700 more plus the much higher prices of full frame lenses. And then the rolling shutter issue.
I’m switching over to Sony and I’m having trouble deciding weather to go full frame or not, and honestly full frame doesn’t seem worth it with the exception of the A7SIII which is out of my price range unfortunately:(
Awesome. Enjoyed.
Which one do you recommend between fx6 vs a7s iii for wedding filmmakers?
daaamn great video as always
Great review mate, wish you had some light background music 🎶
"THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB", the best phrase for everyone who wants a camera to do everything!!!!greatings from AThens_Greece
I'm planning on getting my FX3 in a few months! I am super excited to get my hands on my first cinema camera, I've been wanting this camera ever since it came out aha
You are right about the rolling shutter: the right tool for the right job! Thnx.
Love the video, I just subscribed
Beginner videographer here. What is your opinion on using FX30 for darker, cloudy, dusk, predawn nature videos in forests? Could I get enough shadow details with F1.4 or 1.8 lens using ISO2500? Is the FX3 or A7S III full frame sensor significantly different in these scenarios? Much appreciated!
Bump this comment. I’d like to know too
I’m interested in knowing too!
Love to know aswell.
Interested too
Me too
Hi Jason, I'm thinking of upgrading my A7iii for video. I'm considering the A7iv, Fx 30 or zve-1, but I can't figure out what would be the best choise? I shoot a bit of everything. I like to make nature videos / vlogs and some talking head videos in my studio. Thank you for the informative video.
Got mine last week. Am so happy with it so far! New short films incoming!
Which lens did You used on the fx30 in the shot with the model sitting in front of the windows? Comparing it to the fx6? The lens look amazing good
Great video Jason. Quick question, how did you mount the zve10 on your car @2:50?
Great video, thank You. Which one should I buy as a bee filmer? The FX30 or the A 7 IV? Best regards from Germany.
Im excited that this camera gives you so many pro features and you could get 2 bodies, a standard zoom and 3 sigma primes for less than the fx6. With the audio handle and all the sd cards, batteries and other grip you need. Unreal!
incredible camera for the price
At what point did you do any shooting in low light? I want to capture outdoor adventure type footage and nothing you showed gave me any confidence I can use the FX30 in "blue hour": ie: pre-dawn and post sunset
I love hearing your take when it comes to the professional side of things. I do weddings so I don't always have control of my lighting situations. Out of the A7iv and FX30, how do you think the FX30 holds up in low light situations like dance floors/receptions or areas that you don't have lighting rigs?
Interesting too
I recommend watch CVP and their underexposure test. the A7IV is better when you screw up your exposure and try bring it back. I recommend as always over exposure as best as possible in camera
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema can you make a video about correctly overexposing in camera ? i do not completely understand what you're saying
@@TheChocofresh watch my video about how to expose s-log I released a few weeks ago
Hey Jason, what lenses would you recommend for this FX30 I just preordered it and don’t know which lenses to get (Lumix Shooter here) I was thinking on the Sigma 16mm f1.4 to start until I know which lenses to get for this new system, I’d like value lenses, great video btw 👌🏻.
Update: I have the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 I use it adapted on my Lumix Bodies, would you say it’s worth getting the Sigma MC11 adapter to use this lens ? Or just get Native lenses
Thank you sir! I really appreciate you💪🏽
thank you for watching
Awesome videos! Thanks a lot. What lens did you use in the gym shot?
between 24mm, 35mm and 85mm GM lenses. All full frame lenses
… thx for sharing! Interesting video. Some other youtuber test the base iso performance of the FX30. But in some test there is talking about no noticeable noise clean up when you switch from ISO 2.000 to ISO 2.500. Could you see a difference, is it a „real“ dual base sendor?
Thanks for the video😙
thank you for watching
MAN! I would get this if I didn't already have a Pocket 6K. Right now, getting one feels like a lateral move so I can't justify the cost. But this is nothing short of amazing and I'm here for it!
Hey Jason! I've been followin you on ig since a while and today saw your yt channel, your content is top notch you being a filmmaker knoweverything to suck that retention! But one thing which i doubt is your thumbnail, specially the typeface you use in your thumbnails. I can help you do some design changes to your channel which would look good and as pro as your content:)
Thanks for Rolling sutter suggestion
Personally, I liked the film footage in a comparison of the FX30 to the A7 IV.
These of the A7IV tn low light were sharper!
the backlit model was sharper again with the FX30
Thanks for showing a good example of the difference between the rolling shutter performance between the fx30, fx6 and a7iv!
Is it possible to test in a very low light space, such as a candlelit room only, a dark park at night, etc. Thank you
I think the FX30 is the death knell Sony dealt to Canon. I am so glad I moved to Sony last year. I love my FX3 and A7IV. I wanted to pick up another FX3 but for that cost, I can pick up two FX30. Appreciate your videos as always, Jason.
i always was a canon user beqause of school. all the gear there was all canon. when i finished school i sold my 80D and bought a a7iv with the sigma 24-70 and i love it
This Sony sucks
FX3 will always win against the FX30. FX30 is just awesome for the price
@@walmartpimp2 You'll spend $15K on a lens for a $1800 camera? What are the benefits, may I ask?
@@Yupthereitism why?
Hi, Jason! Please, make a video about audio devices for shooting. Recorders, radio and Wi-Fi systems, etc.
I have a question? If one is to use CINE EI and baking in a lut. Compare using flexible ISO and then applying a lut in post. will it then have equal quality or will it be worse?
If I got an fx30 as a third cam for a wide shot on a podcast recording (I use a three cam setup)am I correct in thinking it would match the fx3 at the same iso of 800 if all cameras set to s cinetone? The FX3s will be on singles with the fx30 as a wide two shot. Thank you
Thanks for the video. I still don't understand why Sony didn't release an a6X00 style camera with 10-bit video way back when, say, the Fuji X-T3 was released. I certainly would have bought one then (instead of moving on to Panasonic, which has had 10-bit video since at least the GH5). Oh well...
Probably because they weren’t totally invested in video creator economy. They thought it was a dying fad going to be replaced by phones. This camera was born from a new project lead (Kosuke Imagawa) who started as a content creator and quickly became a product planner at Sonyz
I really don't know why. I am not sure if they are killing the a6000 series off and going with the ZV series
agree with the rolling shutter fake issue. No one who complains about rolling shutter ever whips their camera all over to even cause rolling shutter. It’s really dumb.
That just shows your limitation, more than anything else. Rolling shutter is of course an issue.
@@CO8848_2 ofcourse it is for some, when my clients want cimbaal shots the shots are always slow and slightly moving. then you dont have rolling shutter problems. :)
I agree for the most part, but the a6400 in 4k was hopeless to use even with a slow pan. but I upgraded to the a7iv and the rolling shutter isn't even visible for the most part. and i primarly film actionsports.
@@amirlaukholm a7iv rolling shutter is better than a6400, but cannot use it for sports, nor fx30.
@@CO8848_2 as long as u don't go over 150mm in 4k60, its totally useble, but any tighter than that u might see some gelo effect, but I think the fx30 in 4k120 would perform as good as the fx3 and a7s3, since the crop would make it 1 to 1 4k, and it uses the same chip as the fx3
I am actually really glad on your stance with rolling shutter. The one time it feels relevant to me is handheld footage just recording my family, but that is with me chasing my kids. In the jobs I've had, we plan our shots and use a gimbal for smooth movement. It's actually a "problem" I tend to forget.
Great footage and input as always! Thanks!
thank you
Hey Jason Morris Its amazing Video. Please Make a detailed Video on A7iv vs sony fx30.
thank you. It is coming in about 6-8 days depending when it drops
Fantastic video! Appreciate the info, Jason! 😁 That FX30 looks amazing!
thank you for watching
I liked the 'look' of the FX30 over the FX6, it seems like the cinema cameras like FX6 record the image without enhancing it while the FX30 processes the image more. The FX6 image leaves it for you to enhance with lighting, or in post with color grading, etc.
FX6 does some amazing things
Can you please do a re-test this comparison outdoors with minimal lights and at night. Thank you.
Hi Jason. The FX30 is very tempting. One aspect that I am cautious about is mixing APS-C gear with Full frame. What are the issues? Do you use your full frame lenses, or get specific APS-C - hence increasing your investment in glass. I do have a couple of old A mount APS-Cs which could geta new lease of life - though I doubt the auto focus is anywhere near as good as my current full frame lenses for my FX6 ad A7 iv.
I used all full frame glass as I do not have any high performing APS-C glass. Works extremely well. Just have to take note of the field of view difference with lenses and depth of field will not be the same when composing your full frame shots compared to APS-C shots
What I think will be interesting is when Atomos enables the Ninja V+ to record the RAW data from the FX30. I'm thinking and hoping, that we'll get a 6k ProRes RAW file out of that combo. Fingers crossed. What do you think? Great content, by the way, congrats!
They can currently do 4.7k RAW external up to 59.94fps
Does the dual native iso works without s-log, s-cinetone or any other Picture Profile? I don't really use these flat picture styles but the low light capabilities would be nice.
Jason couldn't you just pair the fx30 with a mist filter andcut the sharpness down to match the FX6 better?
Well done. The Sony FX30 is impressive. I’ve never invested in a Sony camera but I’m serious thinking about buying the FX30. I appreciate the information you provide. Thank You 🙏
impressive for the price tag
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I agree. Thanks again!
Jason, watching now, however can you tell me what you use for a top down camera. I noticed that when you picked up the FX30 there was no focus hunting. I can't remember which FX line camera has an issue but I do know that the a6400 has that issue as well. I am looking to get a Sony that I don't have to always use in manual focus for top downs.
This is the sony A7IV with all top downs
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Thank you so much for the answer Jason.
can i compensate for the lower luminosity of the apsc sensor by using very bright lenses such as the trio sigma 16,30,56 f/1.4
sigma trio for the win
This has been the best illustration of the rolling shutter, the only thing I care about at this point. I have a cross country trip next year & I was going to rent the FX3... but now I'm thinking I might just buy the FX30 (already have the ZVE10, so I can swap lenses) for all my video needs!
You will find the FX30 is more than sufficient in many ways
Thank you for your test, it seems that the fx30 performs really well in low light and can have a good clean picture at iso12800.
is does perform quite well considering the price
GOOD VIDEO, thank you! Well, maybe you can help us. Apart from recording our trips we also record events and videos for clients. We have an A7III and we need a new camera, we rarely take photos, so this Fx30 would be good for us, but sometimes we shoot a lot at night (events) then we think of the Sony A7IV. On our travels we want to slow motion at 120.
We are torn between the A7IV and this Fx30 for the above reasons, any advice? 😅
Can you stabilize the footage with Catalyst Browse like the other newer Sony releases?
YES I WAS CHECKING EVERY HR for your videos (ohh I am really thinking to change my a7iv) my zve10 its saying goodbye. As I mention I don't take pictures, so should I make my 7iv a fx30. I have to mention, the videos I get from the 7iv I am in love its amazing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH This video was so so but so usefull thank you, I have order 1 already, and really will have to think about my 7iv. So good your videos Jason
thank you for watching
So tempting! Nice Camera especially for the price.
do it ;)
Good Video, thanks ! Is the FX30 is better in low light than A7III (not S, just A7iii) ? Thanks :)
I can't imagine any aps-c sensor would be better than any full frame sensor for lowlight. So I'll go out on a limb and say, Definitely not. But the dynamic range of the fx30 I'm sure will make it a good enough contender if I also had to guess. Same with the panasonic gh6. It's micro 4/3 sensor is Itty bitty, but it apparently has some incredibly impressive dynamic range abilities. That being said it still will never compete with larger sensors no matter how many technological tricks they implement
It is close. The a7iii is still really good in low light. The advantage is the FX30 has 10bit color so grading footage will objectively look better with colors
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Thanks for your answer ! I think keeping the A7III for photo, but switching with the FX30 for video. Do you think it's will be ok for events, or weddings when we can't always work our exposure ? (because i think that in a controled enviroment there will be no issues ). thanks again :)
Idea: what if we treat the a7iv as a apsc mode only camera and then compare it to the fx30?
How would you say the FX30 compares to something like the Lumix GH5MK2 or even the GH6?
I don't use panasonic cameras i am sorry
Man you just got me subbed with all these worthy efforts! To my eyes color of the FX30 like to be the best in Sony world so far. The red is a better red and I think skin tone is closer what is called Canon colors. Could you admit it too?
I am in doubt about buying an FX30 vs A7IV. I like to shoot my social events without any added lighting (It's a personal thing) and the question at hand is whether the FX30 will be good enough in lowlight so I don't have to deal with noise in post production. I love the form factor of the FX30 and for my style of shooting to have good stabilization, zoom lever, 4:2:2...it's great, but I wouldn't want to crash in lowlight. Currently I do the events with the A7III and I am delighted with the quality of the images. I've seen a lot of reviews about the FX30, but when they talk about poor performance in lowlight, they always compare it to FX3, A7SIII, A7IV... and I don't think it's a fair comparison.
The lenses I use are usually the Sony 18-105 f4 and if needed I could use the Sony 50mm f1.8 OSS, Tamron 18-35 f1.8 or in FF the Tamron 28-75 2.8
I also have an old FS5 and it would be great to be able to put the FX30 head to head
Sorry for my English, I write from Barcelona, Spain
Thank you
This video solidifies the high quality that can be found in the FX30. In all of the tests you showed, the FX30 footage remained completely useable. The low light performance was quite impressive even with its smaller sensor. I have the A7iv and it's quite impressive on its own. Should I trade my A7iv in for the FX30? It is something I am considering. I am a low budget filmmaker, so it is something I am looking into.
If you take pics, no
Yes you should
A7iv crop mode has better rolling shutter and lowlight performance, and can still take stills.
@@frankfeng2701 really good stills too
hmmmm I really really like the A7IV...
Do the ISO's match in terms of actual brightness? Sometmes the ISO's don't match from camera to camera.
Hi Jason, I am looking to order one, but before I would like to know more about 1080p. could you make a comparison in 1080p with sony A7Siii and sony a7iv. Appreciate!
In my next video I do a very small amount of 1080p footage. In well exposed shots it look fantastic. Plus you have 240fps in 1080p
Jason... I'm torn between the FX30 and the 7A4. I was waiting for the perfect APSC camera to do a lot of gimbal work with the 18-105 mm internal zoom lens but I feel that the a74 provides the best of both worlds by allowing to shoot full frame when needed with other lenses. I, however, plan on shooting 90% of my stuff in 4K 60... Any advice?
If you're going to shoot 4k60p the majority of the time then the fx30 will probably be better suited as it will likely not overheat due to its active cooling fan, plus I would bet the fx30 performs a little better than the a7iv in crop mode. You could use a speedbooster if you want more of FF look.
Personally, I'm keeping my a7iv with my a7siii. No plans to buy an fx30 for now
If you're doing video work professionally you might want to consider the FX3. Big upgrade for video
do you think we need full frame lens for FX30, or It is a waste and a APS-C lens should be enough? I used to take videos with action camera like gopro for years and thinking of moving forward to some more professional cameras, thanks for anwswering.
There's no point run buying full frame lenses for the FX30 unless you have a full frame camera...
Is it possible to make timelapes with fx30?
Great video !
Thanks
technically yes in S&Q mode. you can do all the way down to 1fps and it will timelapse in camera
Its ridiculous to me that cameras like the a7iv don’t have internal LUTs or shutter angle or some of the other cine features. Its a hybrid…which means it SHOULD have both…cine features and photo features… there’s NO excuse for them not having them when it’s primarily software/firmware.
Any camera that has picture profiles should be able to load LUTs internally.
Shutter angle really shouldn’t be that hard to put in any camera that can do video… since it’s essentially just a setting like “auto ISO” etc.
It comes down to marketing and how Sony want to hold back certain features and try sell other cameras based on those extra features.
Wish there was more low light videos
Can we get a vlog/video entirely shoot on FX30?
Jason the instrumental in this video is banging who is the artist
For a video-centric camera, I wouldn't mind fewer megapixels for better lowlight, better rolling shutter, less crop.
that is where FX3, A7SIII and FX6 is king
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema That's where Sony wants you to pay twice as much for what could have been an easy fix.
Awesome video man, I was actually going to pick up an FX3 today… should I wait? Lol I already have the A7iv and LOVE the video quality but wanted a dedicated video camera.
You can load Phantom LUTS into the FX3 and shoot in S-LOG3 with the LUTS applied and burned in to the recorded video. No color-grading afterward, with DR and image quality (other than low-light and shallow-end DOF) that blow away any non-color-graded output from the a7iv.
It seems like this fx30 is going to make a pretty big splash on the camera industry? So I'm guessing you'd be pretty stoked to own it. Personally, I'd rather have the panasonic s5. Better image/ibis and lowlight. Is a proper cinema camera and is actually smaller than the fx30. Go figure lol
@@akyerit th-cam.com/video/XNNW_JAsGgQ/w-d-xo.htmlm29s
@@aliendroneservices6621 ya obviously the auto focus isn't great on the Panasonic. But everything else is more than likely superior. And to be fair, if we're talking cinema cameras, there's always a focus puller right? Nowadays it's super easy to set up a small focus puller on any camera with not much added bulk even. If we're talking sports or vlogging, then yes, get a sony or any other competent brand lol. Personally I love the look of manual focus if I'm shooting a "film". People put way too much weight into insane autofocus these days and not enough into the actual image quality and the fundamentals of shooting film/proper video. I'll easily and happily give up insane auto focus for better lowlight and great ibis and a nicer picture any day of the week. Especially for cheaper
@@akyerit Does IBIS matter if you're using a gimbal or Catalyst Browse? Can you load LUTS into an S5 and have them burned in to the output so no color-grading is needed?
So, so so so....
Question is, I'm doing tons of vlogs about our trips to the mountains to do astrophotography, and honestly, we've been filming with the a7III and it's been great, but, obviously, it could be better.
We use no lighting, everything is as it is, and that's when we started to think. An a7sIII.... but some people recommended us the FX30. Is it really that good?
Considering how bad the rolling shutter was on the previous generation of Sony camera's this is a significant improvement. It's not like it has to be a global shutter to be useable...
it definitely is a big improvement for sure
Good arguments!!!
the photo feature & Quality same as sony a6000 series?
How are you comparing the FX6 at 2500 iso when its natives are 800 and 12800?
what about rolling shuter test between A7IV in apsc mode vs fx30?
unfortunately I didn't get time to do this but i believe the a7iv has better rolling shutter in super 35 crop mode. only just
How does the A7IV compare in APS-C mode?
What about the screen? No TH-camr speak about the changes on the monitor. Actually the siii, iv, fx3 had only 1.44mil dots. The fx30 have 2.5mil dots. No noticeable difference?
How well do you think you can colour match A7IV and FX30?
What about overheating?
does not overheat
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema does it have the same fan system as the fx3? That and the tally lights were the biggest advantages over the a7siii, IMO.
which do you advise me for short films blackmagic 6k pro or sony fx30?
depends on lenses and other factors
Hey Jason, what do you think of the internet comments on the FX30 about the increased noise compared to the A7iv, did you find the FX30 has a noise issue?
Absolutely not. No noise issue. We are spoilt with such great cameras. Amazing performance specially for the price
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema thanks Jason. Also would you choose the FX30 over the XH2S? I’m torn between them.
People make a big thing about rolling shutter but in real life using a camera, how often do you actually intentionally jerk the camera sideways like that in a video shot? Not very often.
Any legit tips for when im in a lowlight situation where i cant get the multimeter to even be .3 of a stop overexposed even with added in lights?
Yikes. Maybe stronger lights or a faster lens
finally, an upgrade to my a6600… I’ve been waiting for a Sony 10 bit for yearsssss now
big upgrade there
It’s available for pre order on Ted’s.
Do you know if external flash work with it?
Might be problematic because the FX30 doesn't have a mechanical shutter. Flash is disabled on my A7 IV when the silent mode is engaged.
I wouldn't recommend the FX30 for flash photography
Mate I heard it only does JPG with no RAW images. Is it just for pre-production or final?
it shoots raw but camera raw still needs an update for those files so that's why everyone is shooting jpegs for now.
@@stavrozinio Thanks! Nearly like all other Sony cameras before release. That felt like Canon cripple hammer to me at first.
yes does RAW, just not supported yet
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Sweet! There goes my perfect 2nd cam + a7S III with large enough images!
Could you compare it to the a6600 or older sony a6000 models
once i get it back again i will. I only have it for a few days
What Len best for it
Still struggling to know if I should get the a7iii or fx30 for the extra quality. They both shoot at 120fps but I am making a huge switch to Sony from Canon. Canon simply just cant touch Sony right now. Its a big decision and I don't want to make the wrong one.
And for Sports Videography
Jason, you really drive me crazy: questioning for good reasons to keep my S1H or make that raical move from FF to APSC. Not that I am unhappy with the S1H - it's still a beast, especially for anamorphic. But, all the gear is so massive and heavy!
I'd wait until they announce the S1H mk II. Should be making its way to us as we are overdue for the next version and Panasonic will be releasing some cameras by end of year! That way you can keep all your L glass and batteries/ accessories! If you line of work required better auto focus then the switch to Sony will be justified but in terms of look, colors, and image stabilization, the S1H or panasonic for that matter typically is the better choice!
Or you can always grab the s5. Has just as many cinema features as the fx30 I would imagine, if not more, and you can keep all your lenses etc. The s5 is a beautiful size imo, and from my experience fondling it over at b&h lol. Especially compared to the a7iv/fx3 which are substantially chunkier and not small by any means. I actually couldn't stand the ergonomics of the a7iv/fx3 and apparently the A730 is exaclty the same. So for me that's actually a pretty big deal. Also I never loved the image out of the Sony cameras (and I've owned several) compared to other cameras like the s1h/s5 or even the sigma fp. The difference is night and day honeslty
switching systems is a whole another discussion. when choosing cameras you have to consider the whole eco system. lenses, b-cameras and upgradability etc
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Hi Jason, I know!
This will be a tough decision, for sure.
Luckily enough, I am not a pro like you - just an amateuer who got addicted by taking movie pictures, coming from photography.
So, for the moment, there is not too much gear that does fit my S1H only - just the kit lens, a cage, and a Sirui FF Anamorphic lens which I should be able to get another mount for. Ah, and a quite expensive Novoflex adapter to mount Nikon F-glass on L-mount cameras.
All other gear, such as tripods, fluid heads, mono pods, cables, NDs,... can be reused.
And I already own 2 e-mount sony lenses from my old Sony A6000. So, would be ready to shoot.
The major question in my case is how mich the switch will cost me on the bottom line.
But the perspective to carry a little camera with me while I am jut having a walk or sightseeing tour with my wife that in addition has 100% reliable AF (I mean the camera -:) ), and does deliver great cinema-acceptable footage is just so attractive.
@@akyerit Hi Jason, thanks for your great recommendations!
Re the image quality coming out of the S1H I am quite happy so far.
Anyway, I experienced the 10 Bit internal codec (even the 400MBit/sec one) to have its limitation when grading - I often get bandings in blue skies or large surfaces with different light shadings when going massive grading - so, much care required in post. I know, recording externally could ease the pain a bit.
The Sigma FP would solve the image quality limitations with RaW DNG right away, and it's small and L-mount.
What would you thing about the Lumix GH6? Yes, it's Micro 4/3 sensor only, but would allow smaller primes, making a smaller overall footprint when running & gunning.
Your recommendations so far are worth having subscribed to your channel!
i just preorered mine!
lessssgooo haha love it man
Would love to see fx30 4k 120k samples
I didn't get enough time with the camera
12:10 Sharp vs Soft - hear saying growing up from my dad like Nikon's Nikor lens was "razor sharp" and the middle of f stop range is usually the sharpest part of the lens. TH-cam is slowly opening my eyes to "digitally sharpened".
I took pics with my phone and then zoomed and compared to the actual object. I noticed unnatural lighting and colors and details that the camera added. Also, failed the watermark test - Took a picture where the last letters are almost unreadable and noticed the phone "enhanced" them to the point of being easy to read in the picture.
yes
Which is a better camera to buy? The FX30 or the A7S III?
Full frame will be better. But this has fx3 features. It's a hard call, but it is cheaper and more video-friendly than the siii
