Do you already own the Sony A7IV? What do you think of it?
@AmariRebel7 ай бұрын
I have the A7iv and two FX3s. I love them all. If it’s quick stuff, I grab the A7iv. I also use it on paid gigs if I need a third camera. It’s actually a bit sharper than the Fx3, but with a little work they blend phenomenally. Honestly, the tech is so good nowadays that you can make just about anything work.

Do you find the rolling shutter to be a problem? If it weren't for the rolling shutter on the a7IV I would get that over the FX30. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Especially when using 4k 24p in full frame without the APS-C crop mode. The rolling shutter problem goes away on the A7IV if you use the crop mode but I don't want to if I don't have to. Do you find it to be a problem? I want to shoot full frame to get the full image circle out of my vintage glass. I want to eventually have a set of Takumar lenses because I love my 35mm F2 Takumar. What was your experience using that Helios lens on the FX30? Also, what do you think of the difference between the body styles? I like the look of the FX30 but I'm not sure that the photography sacrifices and price difference are worth it.
@MikeBSalazar7 ай бұрын
For what I shoot, I don't personally consider rolling shutter an issue especially since I'm mostly shooting on sticks if anything and my movement is minimal completely overlook rolling shutter. If you need a mechanical shutter just stick with the A7IV and avoid banding altogether. Plus if you want the viewfinder. Otherwise, the FX30 is just fine if you really want to prioritize video. I love the FX30 body for video.
@Noahs_Photography7 ай бұрын
@@MikeBSalazar Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll end up getting an a7SIII so I don't have to worry about the camera getting in the way. The FX30 has no mechanical shutter, the a7IV has borderline usable rolling shutter for handheld work, and the A7SIII only has 12 Megapixals for photos, which I think I can put up with. Pick your poison I guess. I'm already in the full frame system for lenses anyway so the FX30 might be tough to transition to.

The crop in 4k60 kinda ruins it for most since you cant just interchange angles and if youre running 4k60 and need slowmo, might aswell go for a67/fx30. Not to mention that fhd is terrible on both ( and all sony cameras except the 12mp quintuplets ) , so might aswell stick to a more consistent camera And fullframe advantage goes out the window once you need depth anyway

@dxgable I’d still choose the A7IV with the FX30 especially if you wanna do video work/multi camera interviews. The FX3 has better image quality forsure but if budget is a factor, I’d rather have 2 cameras over 1. I also do a fair amount of flash photography (which the FX3/FX30 cannot do) so the A7IV is really the best option for the price as far as a hybrid camera with Sony… FX3 will probably be my next camera purchase tho

I am thinking the opposite actually right now. I had the FX3, sold in the pandemic bc I had little work and got more photography jobs, Bought the A7IV and for the last 3 years and really like it but hate that mine, dud version, always over heats in even mildly hot weather. Been thinking about getting the FX30 bc I shoot 99% video and cannot really afford the FX3 at the moment. But then I thought I am actually better off with full frame 24 4K and crop 60p 4K bc I will only get crop 4K in both 24 and 60p with the FX30. Decision decisions. I will try and hold off and hopefully get a second hand FX3 when I can scape the funds together or prices drop when the FX3II comes out. I have it paired with the Tampon 17-28 and 28-75 G2 and I can pretty much shoot anything from wide angle to Tele both in 24p and 60p. Believe it or not the image quality from the A7IV is actually better than the FX3 in my opinion. So is the Autofocus.
