Should you buy a SONY FX6, FX3 or FX30?

Hi, Just a quick ramble on my 3 work cameras from the Sony cinema line, the fx6, fx3 & fx30. I loved the fx30 so much that I went all in but I should have done a little more homework. This is not a video of regret...I'm fully invested in the cinema line but there are things I wish I knew first.

very impressed and honored by the mention for this video, I really like how you put to the truth how good the FX30 is, even in lowlight, bad content creators (and its the truth) put the FX30 to shame, its nice to see your experience with all of them which are fantastic and specially because you ARE an excellent cinematographer, outstanding work and cheers mate !

Thank you for this. I have just purchased the FX30 2 weeks ago. Im getting my head around it better than I thought I would due to watching your blogs.

I opted for the Sigma 18-55 F2.8. So far so good the quality is great! Your right though there are so many good cheap lenses too!

I love this camera.

Thanks and I have subbed. 😊

Thank you for this video because I’m considering the FX30 👍

For fast and wide, the best option would probably be a Sigma 24-70 f2.8 DG HSM OS EF Paired with a MC-11 adaptor which works surprisingly very well on the FX6, I’ll be diving into it in depth in the near future to make a video and figure out the limits of such a setup for my self

[VietinghoffAlex]

Excellent video! I've actually been considering selling my FX3 and just getting a used FX30 to make some extra money, since I don't really need the FX3 features over the FX30. Also great production quality with this one!!

I had no idea variable shutter was even a thing! Yet another reason to choose a Sony over a Craynon.

Great points! Another solid video man! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@8:04 Yes the only thing you got to do is to go change your PAL fps norm to NTSC as you already know I guess, but Its funny cause your lamp should be in 50hz if you are in UK if Im not mistaken

The shutter tuning on ML is my favorite to play with

In a way I'm glad to see these lines on your video as I shot a very lighting and laser heavy festival event on Saturday night on my A7siii and thought something bad had happened to my sensor.

Great video! Appreciate the Fx30 stuff 🙏🏾

A really interesting and overlooked camera is the Canon r50 with its PDQ (or whatever its called) and downsampled 6k. I’m curious to see how it would compare to other cameras.

[itsapinecone]

hey, just wondering if you hsve ever shot dual iso on crop mood and if so what your thoughts are. imo its a fantastic way to increase dynamic range dramatically with a little NR and in the anamorphic modes

I love my fx30, incredible camera and with a rig and 18-35 1.8 it is an insane run and gun setup that handles anything else I've thrown at it. It's a money maker - profitable after a single job and it's not let me down or given me any shit on a job

[GTshortStories]

Great overview on these cameras. I always wanted a Sony camera but I already have my Blackmagic and Red cameras and they get the job done for now. For work I use the Sony FX9 and love the Cine EI profile. As far as all around versatility and if you're a one man operator how would you compare the FX30 vs the Blackmagic 6K Pro for a production?

[PrestonLohr]

So glad I came across this video. I've been back and forth like a tennis ball over should I upgrade to the fx3 or fx30 im not worried about the crop because I already have an aps-c with my Sony a6400 but I film a lot of night games for football and want to start getting into shooting music videos and club promos which are always at night. The samples you showed in this video look no different than a night scene you would see in a movie now. Getting an attached light should to my rig should take care of any low light situation anyway.

I sold my FX30 to fund for a FX6, The Fx30 is a great camera.

[Tobirama_isHimju]

Could you make a box rig for the FX3/FX30?

[wunald]

perfect timing for this video -- i've been weighing the fx30 vs fx3. do you have any advice on good Cine Ei tutorials for the fx30?

Which mic are you using, it's wireless, me like
