Is the FX30 GOOD ENOUGH for Professional Work? (Long Term Review)

I just spent the summer filming with the FX30. I did about 60 hours of filming for a documentary. Only once did I wish I had the FX3 for low light. The FX30 still worked in the lowlight situation, I just could not get the shots I wanted. I really only see one difference between the FX30-FX3...is the lowlight. Also...I went for hours in direct sun in 100 F heat and never once did the FX30 let me down...😁 not sure about the dynamic range...but I have seen many reviews with the FX3-FX6 and even the Burano and people cannot see the difference...personally dynamic range is the most important....maybe the next version of the FX30 will go from 14 stops to 17 stops 😁

yes i agree with you, in the end of the day, we must play the low light to reach the dramatic moment, without aritficial light. On APS-C for bright scene i think most of the camera can handle it well too.

do u use cine EI?

[@blackbunnient]

I used the same camera for professional work

[@kyleharriesfilms]

It truly is a great camera, I could not be more impressed with the quality it produces!

Have you tried the ulanzi fan for the zve1?

[@ekphotography]

Zve-1 has only one card slot and is a NO go for most professionals for the same reason. I have been filming for over 25 years and never had any problems with SD cards except for last week. One of my 2 cards got corrupt in the middle of a shoot and some how erased all the clips. If I did not have the 2 card backing up, it would have been a disaster to say the least. Too much money on the table in a production with people, models, catering, location fees etc etc to rely on one card.

[@kyleharriesfilms]

I do have the Ulanzi fan for the ZVE1 and it definitely helps a lot in most situations. I actually have a review planned to talk about my experience using the zve1 in professional settings because I have actually been incredibly happy with it overall!

[@kyleharriesfilms]

This is a HUGE factor to consider. Glad you had that backup card going 🙌🙌🙌

[@ekphotography]

@@kyleharriesfilms Absolutely for professional work it is. My production when this happened was well over 40.000US$ considering everything involved that day.

[@kyleharriesfilms]

@@ekphotographyat that scale there is absolutely zero room for error! Corrupted cards are what nightmares are made of 😂
