It kind of boggles my mind that people are so into full frame now that they forget...99% of the movies ever shot before digital were shot on 4 perf 35, which is to say an APS-C sized piece of film. The depth of field we are used to seeing associated with Hollywood are mostly based around the APS-C size, not the FF 35mm still frame, which is closer to Vista Vision or 5 perf 65. There is such a thing as too much bokeh. Shooting wide open with a fast lens on FF and having the eyes in focus and the nose soft just looks terrible. Or missing focus entirely because the DOF was too shallow. There are more "super35" cinema lenses in the world than anything else...for a reason. Slap a PL adapter on the FX30 and you can shoot thousands of different amazing modern and vintage cinema lenses. Try that on a FF camera.

I can already see ppl marrying this camera with the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8. I hope this motivates Sigma to make an updated native e-mount version of that lens as its nearly a decade old.

This seems to be what the a6500 was to the A7Sii at the time…a lot of similar features including slog, a few compromises with sensor size and half the price. Love that this is an option to filmmakers!

6:26 I love it when Gene explains things to her and she really doesn’t give a crap. Hahaha

[zcrazymaniac]

This looks so good! The 4k resolution downscaled from 6k works really well and cropping in 2x or even 3x is definitely useable and looks pretty darn good!

[bardomeister]

I just love the randomness in all the field testing... informative and great entertainment vallue 😁

[fantasybricks]

Love potato! Love how this is half review half vlog such a good combination 🔥

I find it odd reading the comments that they predominantly focus on the weaknesses of the FX30. A lot of the comments are about what it can’t do. I’ve worked in the audio industry for over 40 years now and if we have limitations or shortfalls in the studio we didn’t whine about it, we just found a workaround. It’s the same in the actual film industry. We don’t focus on what our equipment can’t do, we just get on with actually working and find a way to get the job done. I’ve nothing against healthy debate and chatting in forums (after all, here I am commenting), but all this negativity on what a certain piece of equipment can’t do, or what Sony MUST do to bring it up to YOUR standards is all backwards guys. Just go make films. If you have an issue with low light, move, or light the area better, learn your craft. If there is too much noise for you in the shadows, clean it up in post. If you can’t adjust the shutter angle, work around it, get the job done. I’d rather watch a bunch of shorts with great narratives with noise in the shadows than a bunch of tack sharp or overly bokeh’ed arty wank films directed by people stroking their experimental facial hair whining about how the film could have been better if they could only have adjusted the shutter angle or filmed in low light. Have a great day.

I love how you integrate your sponsor ads into the video. Usually I skip these sponsor sequences but I enjoy watching yours

[Exploredinary]

Looks amazing! And I love that you interviewed your friend about the camera while in the conga line haha! 😂❤

[LetsPlayFree]

The crop comparison was so nicely done

[SjoerdWess]

Nice video mr. Potato. I was stunned with what I could get out of this little camera!

[LukeMaximoBell]

Great way of showing this new camera! I had a lot of fun shooting with it and I think it's going to be a really popular new camera!

[FrankValchiria]

man just squeezed a hot chip challenge in between . you guys are mad lads

[Darkmage]

House is looking amazing! Been a long time since we've seen an update/vlog on your other channel! Actually really miss it!

[Glenners]

Finally a 10bit 4k 60fps apsc Sony! And it has ibis, xlr, and 16 bit raw out the FULL SIZED hdmi!! Bet you're going to start seeing a lot of FS7's on ebay!

[GearSolidD]

I like your reviews man. Sometimes I wish the video never ends

[shahedhasnat]

I think new successor to Sony a6600 will have most of these features with a viewfinder and that would be awesome!

[harryvuemedia]

Huh, interesting APS-C camera and most of all, very affordable at $1, 800.00 u.s. dollars. That's $2, 000.00 less than the FX-3 so this will allow new film makers have access to a super camera without the need to spend so much. Great job Sony!!

15:35 Kari has no idea what you're talking about but she's there for the moral support ... love to see it haha
