7 Reasons to Choose the Sony FX30 Over the FX3 - WHICH IS BETTER!? (SONY FX30 VS FX3) Cinema Camera

Hey guys, in this video I go over 7 reasons why I think the Sony FX30 is a better option than the FX3. This could be a topic of debate, and I will be coming out with a video about why to choose the FX3 over the FX30 in the near future, but I think this camera has some incredible specs that shouldn't go unnoticed. Especially given its low price, this tiny cinema camera produces such a beautiful image. I want to know which one you guys think is better as well! They do come with quite a few differences between them, and I hope this video highlights a few. Thank you for watching!

Can we all applauds Sony for not blocking third parties from supporting their lens mount 👏

[HopeProphecy]

What is the difference between LUTS collection 1 and collection 1 light? Thanks

[andersonkyle]

0:21 this shot is stunning! nicely done 👏

I have both, and would add that if you're shooting in HD, and not 4K as I do for broadcast delivery, the FX3 delivers a significantly cleaner, richer and more detailed image than the FX30. Worth bearing in mind if you're not planning on shooting in 4K.

I just love tha vibe of your videos! Thanks for sharing those insights!

How has no one commented on the majesty of this guys moustache?

[MikeBSalazar]

Well said bro! I don’t find myself using the focus mapping much but definitely that and focus breathing I should try out a little more. I may check out that 15-55 f/2.8 you mentioned.

[GerardoGherman]

Interesting... how did u feel the dinamic range on slog3

[ps-films]

How many nits of brightness does the lcd screen have?

[TheFandangovideoguy]

hey there...I'm not a filmmaker but I like getting "cinematic" video if possible! I shoot in Scinetone mostly and sometimes NO profile at all...and I like the video I get with my FX30 (I use a sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and the SIgma f1.4 trio)...I do mostly weddings (I bring my godox ML60bi lights and use them in selected sections even at reduced intensity-they help a lot) and small budget corporate videos. My B camera has been my old Sony a6400 but I think a second Sony camera like a FX3 or FX30 will serve me better. You say that you would have preferred 2 FX30 instead of a FX3...I know the investment for a FX3 plus at least a 24-70mm f2.8 lens is substantial and so a second FX30 is very appealing..your comparison side by side is amazing...I know that in extreme low light the FX3 will be better I guess...I just need a second camera that will let my small company grow....do you still feel the FX30 holds up against the FX3? Thanks

Thank you, these comment helps me a lot to decide whether to go for a7IV or FX30 as i have several APSC lens.

[AlekseyMakeev]

Great review! Good arguments and clear understanding of the devices. 👏

[Sanchan]

Amazing video. Looking everyday for Fx30 videos. "7 reasons" made me instant click.

I have some questions if you can help. : )

Can't decide whether to get 10-20mm or 18-105mm lens for pz indoor youtube desk shots. Lightweight pz vs zoom heavy with oss. I want to hold and use the pz instead of using a slider which takes forever. I know about sigma and tamron, but the pz is very attractive but dont know if lightweight no oss will make me regret not getting a zoom oss but heavy 18-105 lens.

Was this video filmed with FX30, what lens did you use? It looks amazing btw.

Even though I want the FX30, I don't know if I should save money for a Z e 10. I want to have a cine camera, but looking at reviewers, the film doesn't look that different unless Im wrong. Thank you.

[langellafilms]

I have the FX30. So how do you deal with lowlight as in a reception with FX30?

[ciudadanosdelcosmos]

Hi, nice video... i will buy a camera, , i like a7iv but with that overheat issues...mmm....I liked the cooler system of fx30 but no having mecanic shutter and i readed i may cause some artifacts on photos with electronic shutter, , its that true? thanks

[Ldunc]

For me, the FX-30 could only be a C-CAM for my particular workflow. I shoot corporate video content, sometimes b-roll is in dark warehouse. As a professional I need a camera that is versatile enough to allow me to film in dark environments such as B-Roll in a warehouse or an environment when I need extra stops of light. Even though the FX-3 cost double….my clients pay for my gear. I cannot compromise my tools when I charge the prices I charge companies.

[hvrtado]

I bought the FX30 after watching this video. Thank yo so much! First time Sony user here.
The aesthethic of this lens is incredible, 3:30, which one did you use here?

Thanks.

Hello, I'm wondering what kind of memory card is enough for you to shoot a wedding? I mean, how much memory if you shoot with a Sony fx 30 ? All day long.

[Dunc]

I bought the FX-30 as my C- Cam. I own the FX-3 and FX-6. I shoot corporate video. I’m happy with the FX-30 but if I had a choice of only one, the FX-3 would be the camera that I’d choose.

[HopeProphecy]

Great info! Have you noticed that the FX 3 renders skin tones slightly differently than the fx30? It seems to produce a warmer, more pleasing skin tone than the FX 30. However, your footage looks warm and pleasing. Any thoughts on this issue?
