Better late than never for this review! 😂 Hope you enjoy it!

I was on the fence about buying this camera before your review, but you know what, you convinced me, sir. Sony has found a new member of its ecosystem.

[Playerdrew]

I definitely want the Cine EI tutorial! I've watched several but they don't quite make it as plain as you typically do in your videos. Thanks, Matt!

[tombuck]

Even as a full frame fan, I still can’t believe this camera exists at this price point. 🤯

Hey man, thanks for talking about the overall conclusion in the beginning of the video. I hate having to wait till the end for recommendations, and having a good opinion about it from a pro at the start of the video helps me better informed through the rest of it. You deserve my like!!

My peers all recommend Canon cameras to me for their color, but I think the camera look of the Sony FX30 is fantastic. As long as your exposure is perfect, there's hardly any need for post-processing adjustments, especially with S-Cinetone.

This is funny, my dad was a wedding filmmaker and I just came across your video. Currently looking for a Sony FX30, thanks for the video.

[boomboombaby]

It’s perfect for run and gun camera for music videos, I filmed a music video for an artist and he was blown away by the quality.

My FX30 is arriving tomorrow 🤩
By the way, you and Gerald undone mad the best reviews of this camera.

i just bought this camera for weddings to go along with my A7IV's. I was waiting for this video. Thanks you for this now I don't have to make the video myself i'll just refer people to this

[MKE]

Not a new filmmaker neither a FX3 or A7S3 owner but a GH5 owner here looking to update his camera and I think you finnaly convince me to purchased the FX30 ! Of course the FX3 is better with the FF sensor, better low light capability's and no crop in 120fps but.... 4700€ here in France. The FX30 + a 16-55mm 2.8 G Master + Ronin RS3 comes at 3900€... So I think I found my 2023 camera ! Thanks !

Very good review. I think it’s important that people that actually use these cameras in real events speak out. It’s very different from studio charts and walks in the backyard

[ZamoraChristian]

Wow Matt I saw like 20 videos when it came out, I bought it and just saw your video. IT IS THE BEST VIDEO ABOUT ALL THE INFO.

[MrCristopher]

Im switching fomr A6300 to FX30 ATM! Previously was looking at the A7 IV!

[danieldey]

Subscribed straight up when I hear I respect your time

[HobbiesHire]

Great job on the video Matt! Thanks for making it.

[langellafilms]

I have an FX30 and I am going to be filming a wedding. What can I do to address low light at reception?

[airavearentertainment]

Yeeeess!!!! I’ve been waiting for this review!!!

[jacobloera]

Was able to get a hold of one of these before stock ran out, im blown away and im stoked to use this for my work

[BryceDearden]

I was waiting for a new APS-C camera from Sony for years, with all my crop lenses the FX30 was a no brainer.
