I've been debating on switching to the Sony Ecosystem but not sure yet. How has the change been from Canon? Do you regret it at all?

I've been using the a7siii for over 2 years and just grabbed an fx3. Should be a great a/b setup. Your videos are awesome!

[JakeOfAllTrades]

If you were coming from a lesser (but still capable) camera, would you buy the FX3 now or wait for a possible FX3 mkii with Global shutter and updated features?

[ricjuk]

I've been using BMPCC cameras for the past four years and I'm just so comfortable with the workflow and can work ridiculously efficiently with them. I've been debating moving to the FX3 for a long time now and keep putting it off, mainly for three reasons: lack of certain features that I completely rely on such as shutter angle and false colour, the super intuitive and simple menu on the BMPCC Vs the ridiculously convoluted Sony menus and then obviously the price of a fully functioning FX3 shooting setup. Then with the FX3 having been on the market for a few years now, there's also part of me that can't help wondering if something more suitable will be released in the near future that I should've just waited for....

as the focus switches slightly, it keeps "zooming in and out" focus breathing is very distracting here, is there focus breathing compensation option?
By the way i'm finally switching from my R6 + R to the FX3, I just ordered it with a 35mm f1.8, then i will complete my lens trio that I had with my R6. So it will be the lens that u're using here (20mm 1.8) and also the 85mm 1.8

This camera has been so handy for run & gun!!! I really appreciate all the wonderful videos you've been able to create using this beast. THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Switched to Sony!

[diala-waref]

I vloge to much do you think i should buy for my fx3
14 1.8 lens or 16- 35 2.8 ?

[timdanyo]

I own one. I really like it. It can be super scaled down or rigged out for shoulder. Adding the Ninja V makes it really capable.

[OffKadenceOfficial]

Love this video already I paused in at 14 seconds and I noticed a lot of focus breathing, what lens are you using and are you aware of 3.0 firmwares breathing compensation it has a slight crop but it works really good. Im going to watch the rest of the video and pray I don't eat my own words! Im also a filmmaker and a FX3 owner! LOVE IT

[stevenkralovec]

Which firmware do you use? I heard the newer firmwares greatly reduced battery efficiency?

[Derrickbtrujillo]

Thank you for the video.

I’m curious to know whether or not you experienced any change in battery life after switching to “firmware version 2”?

It seems like my battery life is not nearly as good as it used to be. I’ve seen other people express the same as well.

[WasionKey]

what did you record this on? autofocus was a little weird

[TKLVISUALS]

Would you recommend switching from the a7IV? It overheated on me once

[m_schneider]

How to access your store? It's not working when I click the link.

[actNklass]

with this camera does it allow wi-fi and or Bluetooth abilities to transfer video and photos to my phone if needed? 😊 #SmileWitME

[TheGeoDaddy]

Ah! The perfect videographer to ask…

I’ll be shooting some theater scenes in NYC and I’m trying to see IF I can get by with a Sony FX3 given that the lighting can be highly controlled…

It’s not only is it about the higher rental cost of the the FX6 or Komodo ecosystem… but the size of the files written out demanding (10?) more NAS storage for editing…

The deciding factor may just be that the final product is only intended for smart phones or tablet… maybe a laptop?

(There’s also some question about shooting under the theaters tungsten lights or (and?) my Aputure LEDS…)

[ninopowers]

Anyone have a solution for the half shutter press for refocus. I still can’t figure that out

[DouglasDoNascimento]

I gave you a like for the information. But, as it seems you were recording this review/update with the FX3 and the lens breathing is all over the place. This is not a criticism on you, but rather to preface my question - How is this camera's lens breathing on your actual work? Please let me know. Thank you for all you do.

angelfish better release some 500gb cards... it's not the $500, it's the $1500 it would cost to get 3, to make sense w my workflow. at the v least 2, ofc, you're not gonna shoot anything meaningful w the FX3 w/out backing up to a 2nd card. i record to my ninja and still record to both SDs, might as well err on the side of caution imo
