Once upon a time, ol' Grandpa Joe sat on his creaky porch, gently rocking back and forth in his trusty rocking chair. He took slow sips of ice-cold lemonade, savoring the sweet and sour taste as it refreshed his old bones. Bessie, his loyal dog, lay sprawled beside him, her head resting on Grandpa Joe's lap. Her ears perked up every now and then as the wind whispered through the trees, carrying secrets from a time long gone.

"Now, Bessie, " Grandpa Joe began, "lemme tell you a tale, an unusual tale 'bout two remarkable Sony cameras, the FX3 and the Sony ZV-E1." Bessie tilted her head, curious to hear what her master had to say.

"Y'see, Bessie, these cameras were magical, and the photos they captured held the power to transport you back in time." The old man chuckled, remembering how times had changed since his youth. "Oh, those were the days! Back when lil' Billy and Timmy were just knee-high to a grasshopper, growin' up in the 1950s."

He continued his story, painting a vivid picture of the two young boys, exploring the world with the wonder and innocence of childhood. "One day, Billy and Timmy decided to roll a huge tractor tire off Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They heaved and ho'd, pushin' with all their might until the tire began to roll." Bessie's eyes widened, following the tale with rapt attention.

"As the tire rolled down the ridge, it picked up speed, and then it hit a part of the street that was just like a ramp. Oh, Bessie, you should've seen it! That tire flew high into the sky like a bird set free, and then... BAM!" Grandpa Joe clapped his hands, and Bessie jumped, her ears flopping as she barked in surprise.

"Down came that tire, right on top of a fancy convertible car, smashin' it flat as a pancake! The poor fella who owned it, he just stood there, jaw on the ground, swearin' up and down he'd seen a big black UFO come out of the sky, stomp his car, and take off again!"

Bessie wagged her tail, her eyes sparkling with amusement as she imagined the man's reaction.

"Now, Bessie, I reckon them two cameras I mentioned earlier were like that tire. They brought memories crashin' down on us, remindin' us of the good ol' days, and the adventures we've had." Grandpa Joe leaned back, content as he sipped his lemonade, the sun setting in the distance.

With a wag of her tail, Bessie snuggled closer to her master, knowing that the memories they shared were worth more than any fancy camera or convertible car. And as the crickets began their nightly serenade, Grandpa Joe and Bessie drifted off to dream of days gone by, when tires flew like UFOs and cameras held the magic of time travel.

I was out using the FX3 to film my kids tennis match yesterday. Even in the warm sun, it performed perfectly shooting 4K/60. The FX3 is a seriously capable stills camera too. It’s quickly becoming my favorite camera of all time.

Christopher Nolan making "vs" videos

Mark i have 3 ZVE10 (the APSC) and im not in any need for new cameras anytime soon. But i still watch your videos to be in the know

[gtankov]

This is a fantastic video. Best, most detailed comparison I've seen so far.

[BarryJohnson]

More cameras than less cameras. Words to live by.

[mylogify]

It's not about cameras anymore, just watching for entertainment, and nice videos!

[captainfilmmaking]

Sony just added focus breathing compensation to the FX3 via firmware update today! 👍

[ZinjaGaming]

at this point, I just hope that Zv-e1 will succeed in the market so that we still get an updated zv series in the future..

[markwiemels]

The mic! I’m really keen to see some more real world testing of that, lots of situations that it would be nice to ditch the shotgun mic.

[VincenteArt]

That is exactly what I was thinking. I can just get an fx30 for dedicated long video stuff, and zve1 for run and gun video stuff, and keep my A7iv as backup.

[LukeAntunes]

Great tip about the FX30 AND ZV-E1 for the same price as the FX3.

[AllThingsFilm]

I think the ZV-E1 is a game changer for me. Whenever I get the ZV-E1, I will be keeping my FX30. My plans are to use my FX30 in warmer environments, and use the ZV-E1 in interior and cooler environments. Regarding the single SD card slot, it's not an issue with me. For me, it's the quality of the SD card brand that matters most. I've used the SanDisk Extreme cards for years with no issues or fails. I will never touch Lexar cards, as I've only heard bad news about them more than any other brand. Silly me, I filmed a feature film using one card in a GH5. But, nothing went wrong. Was I pushing my luck? Can't say, as I've yet to experience a card failure.

In the end, I think the ZV-E1 looks like a great camera and I want it.

Very handsome review and comparison video.

[jennifergala]

Focus breathing is on the FX30 too. Good video here. Thx.

[auroraflash]

Best channel ever. You EXACTLY know what users might search for.

‘These are the only clothes I own’…and we only see you from the waist up! Another great video Mark! You’ve almost sold me on the E1 but I will need to sell my more extensive set of clothes to afford the new lenses.

[johannvantassel]

just a heads up, the fx3 does now have breathing compensation due to a firmware update

[Petesmotoadventure]

While I will never need either of these cameras, Doug fits my needs for my uses. I really enjoy your videos and recommendations.

[carsonvandelft]

Thank you for this review, by far the best one I have seen. all other reviews and comparisons have been biased or from a "youtuber" stand point instead of just laying out the key differences and similarities of the camera!

[jordanjcreates]

Love this review man, super helpful and you laid out all the pros/cons so well, thanks! ✨
