I got an FX-30 last year and LOVE it. Being in a studio you don't even notice the lesser sensor vs the FX3

[@YourStoryStudios]

That is encouraging to hear! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@YourStoryStudios]

What lens do you normally use?

[@TheWorshipPortal]

@@YourStoryStudios I got a F1.8 20mm Sony G lens. Does great, and if i upgrade the the FX3 in the future, it's full frame so I can still use it

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@TheWorshipPortal Great thinking!

[@jw_film]

The FX30 is a great camera for that situation. I swapped out the EVA for an FX30 with the top handle and FX3 combo and they’ve both been complete workhorses. For me, the FX30 gives me the look I came to love with the EVA, but with reliable autofocus.

[@YourStoryStudios]

I loved my EVA1, minus the lack of continuous auto-focus. Will be interesting to see how I find the FX30!

I was considering A7CII/ Instead, I switched over to the Lumix S5II for the open gate, perfect for an creator that wants to record for both horizontal and vertical. If you even go to S5IIX, you get the ability to record to an SSD, ProRes, and BRAW. For the price of both, you can grab many more lenses as well.

[@YourStoryStudios]

It was a compelling option, but I've gone with the FX30. We'll see how it pans out!

[@LashonEvans216]

Totally understand the pain of setting up. My fiancé and I share her A7RV for her photography and my KZbin work. We’re currently thinking about getting a second camera for big event shoots and mainly stay setup for content.

[@YourStoryStudios]

Another A7RV or another camera?

[@LashonEvans216]

@@YourStoryStudios I really think we might go with an A7RV. It feels the most versatile and appropriate if we need high resolution photos in the scenario of doing a wedding or something editing intensive. It also has the new color technology that I prefer out of the Sony lineup. The stabilization is excellent and when we get to doing content work it has excellent video specs.

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@LashonEvans216 Nice! Sounds like a good plan 👍

[@eduardeutsch_YT]

lol, can't see the point here.. complain about not having done some homework and research before spending 3000+ bucks? 🙄

@@eduardeutsch_YT thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@JimmyCheng]

why not zv-e1, it's essentially a lightweight fx3

[@YourStoryStudios]

Overheating 🥵

[@JimmyCheng]

@@YourStoryStudios if it’s 24/25p I don’t think it’s that much of an issue. Memory card would likely be used up first

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@JimmyCheng That's what I was leaning towards, but then I found the a7CII which was cheaper and would do what I wanted... then I discovered the FX30 did pretty much everything I wanted, minus full frame. FX30 should be coming soon and I'll be sure to make a video about my findings!

[@soholingo]

A7C2 is crop shooting video camera so you haven't lost anything by moving to the FX30.

[@YourStoryStudios]

a7Cii is full frame at 4K 25p. It crops at 4K 50/60p.

[@fnatic7629]

@@YourStoryStudioswhat about 30fps?

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@fnatic7629 I think anything over 30fps it crops.

[@vinrow7671]

So not a video about a7cII ... If you want to provide meaningful content, move past the clickbait nonsense

[@YourStoryStudios]

This is an episodic update about my journey as a video producer and the equipment I am using to solve my unique problems. Sometimes we pick the wrong piece of equpment for a variety of reasons. I appreciate the comment and the advice.

[@Pfagnan]

A mistake - sorry ☹️

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@Pfagnan we learn from our mistakes!

[@WasionKey]

lmao don't do it. everyone thinks they won't care that it's crop sensor. then they get it and realize they really LOVE full frame.

[@YourStoryStudios]

That thought did cross my mind, but I think if I get the right lenses I should be fine. I'll make a video on my findings as soon as I get the camera and Sony 15mm lens 👍

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

@@YourStoryStudiosI’m not a video guy but very happy with my E 15mm f/1.4 G that I use on my Sony A6700. Excellent quality even though it’s one of my more expensive APS-C primes lenses. My others are mostly Sigma primes or zooms but do find the two Viltrox f/1.2 lenses extremely good IQ 😮

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@stevenwaldstein2249 nice! I’ve got the Sony 15mm 1.4 sitting in my studio waiting for the FX30 to arrive! Looking forward to putting it to work.
