Oh thank god! It’s been 27 seconds since a YouTube content creator last made a coffee-making montage and I was worried I wasn’t gonna see one again!

[nicshanon]

Bro really just made a video saying "this camera is perfect, but buttons feel icky" with a whole pros and cons list lol

Been using the FX3 almost every day for 2 years - I can say it’s hands down the best camera i’v ever owned. FX3 + VND… it’s almost too easy to make things look good now

I literally just used it for my first wedding of the year, rigged out with a small rig v-mount battery plate and v-mount battery, A cage, and a top handle and monitor. Having 12, 800 ISO was like unlocking a new level. I learned how to shoot log with the Canon R6, but with three to four more stops of dynamic range, it blows my R6's out of the water in terms of image quality.

I can relate, my old xt4 is much more fun and inspiring to use, But whenever I sit down to edit, I'm glad I shot with the Sony.

As an owner of two of the baby's: HELL YA its worth it. Maybe we see the Mark II by the end of this year but even if thats the case i would still buy one today. Its such a reliable, great camera.

I think you’ll find better quality results if you use CineEI mode. It took me a long time to film in Slog3 and then even longer to try CineEI but now I shoot in that mode and simulate my exposure two stops down while filming so that my footage is on the brighter side. Then I just pull down the exposure when grading and the shadows are so clean. You may hate how cumbersome that feels at first but after doing it for just a bit you’ll get used to it and I know you’ll love the resulting quality of your footage. 😁

Just bought one a few weeks ago after making the switch over to Sony as well. Love the camera, but you are soooo right about the lens release button! Haha

[OmgItsAlexOfficial]

I bought one a couple months ago and I already have a a7siii. It paid for itself in a couple days. I can't think of a scenario it can't handle. Def still worth it.

[RCodyWanner]

love it! I've been on the A7iv since it came out, sold both of my a7siii -- main thing I miss is 4k 120

[TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Damn that final shot 🤕 Classic Jesse 🤣 Would you please reassure us and tell us there was a cushion and that sound was added in post? please

[jimmystewartuk]

Please let me know the ending sound was added and not that the FX3 just dropped dead 😂

[nVuFilms]

Hey Jesse, I actually think any ISO between base 640-800 is worse than 12, 800.

Have you tried using CINE-EI mode and being forced to use only 800 or 12800 ISO .(the base ISO in cine ei is 800 instead of 640 for some reason)
The cool thing though is you can switch between 800 and 12800 with just one button press. No scrolling through the ISO.

60d is a throwback. When i went up to full frame i immediately missed the ergonomics and button placement. .. And 10 years later I'm still missing it.

[ChaseTheSummit]

I ❤️ my FX3 but I do get frustrated by Sony’s firmware updates. For example my FX30 has features that the FX3 doesn’t. And I have to wonder WHY!?

Still, this video was fun and insightful. I need to up my game with editing 😂

[cinematools]

Almost a perfect camera. I want a better codec and a screen but that's really it.

[Bthefilmer]

100% agree with everything you said about this camera.

[DanielEarl]

I remember when the C70 was announced. On the screen, it appeared to be everything I needed. Perfection.I was hyped AF. But then i tried it, and didnt like it at all. I reluctantly tried the fx3, and to my suprise, loved it, and still do.

[samcarlen]

I thought I was the only one. I shoot on mostly my A7IV and an FX3, the button layout and overall MORE buttons is SO useful for shooting video. Also the Mode and Menu button placement is maddening. 3 years later and I still press the wrong one for Menu.
