What are your thoughts on the FX30? Is it a yay or a nay!?🔥⬇

[@meyerdigitalfilm]

Great Camera but I think its a lil bit overpriced for a APSC B Camera....at least here in germany its about 2300 euro, i can get a sony A7IV as grey import for 2400 Euro...I

[@SjoerdWess]

I know what you mean. However, for all the features you get I think its still pretty good!

[@OUCGN]

@@meyerdigitalfilm can we get grey import fx30 too? Here in Germany?

[@meyerdigitalfilm]

@@OUCGN i didnt find any yet, leider für 1700-2000 euronen wäre die fx30 ein nobrainer

[@sht.takeikitchen64]

When the FX30 came out, I was dead set on planning to buy A7IV but when the FX30 came out, my thoughts changed. Sure A7IV is full frame but when you film in 10 bit 4:2:2 it is cropped to APSC so to me if I were to buy a new camera for short movies and documentaries why should I buy a camera which can only shoot in APSC format in 10 bit 4:2:2? If that’s the case why not just get an APSC camera that can shoot 10 bit 4:2:2?

[@beccamitchell05]

I love what this camera is. You can get 2 fx30s and a standard zoom and prime trinity set for $5200 if you don’t need xlrs. That like one fx3 and one lens on full frame. It’s bringing professional quality to a lower budget bracket and size and I’m all about that!

[@SjoerdWess]

Me too. I absolutely love what they did there :-)

Woww which lenses you think to get with it ?

Credible, use-case based review, Sjoerd. (Nothing to sneeze at😁.) Pros/cons, shooting experience and settings add to thorough assessment. Split screen , transparency, w/text, a plus. Just to be clear, unless I missed it, it was Sony that selected the venue and arranged logistics, yes? Cheers!

[@SjoerdWess]

Nope. It was all me. Sony technically just gave me the go-ahead. I arranged every single thing myself. Only money was supported by Sony!

[@max-mr5xf]

I'm just getting started and thought about a Fuji X-H2 or X-H2S, but when I look at what might be next for me, the FX30 seems to make a lot of sense. Hope, it will be a good choice. Thanks for the comparison. Makes me more comfortable.

Excellent review which answered a few questions I had. I have just retired and swan around SE Asia taking travel and bird photos as a hobby. My current kit is a Sony A9 and an A7RIV but I am finding this a frustrating combo and am considering upgrading to a A1 & a FX30. I would most use the FX30 for birds at 120 fps but I am concerned that my 200-600mm will be too slow for Indonesian forest and too much zoom. Interested to hear how you liked the 70-200mm or if I should consider a 135mm F1.8 as a low light option. I currently use a monopod to keep weight down. I am in Bali at the moment and heading off to Sorong again tomorrow. Cheers

[@SjoerdWess]

Mark! Thanks for the comment. What a good place to be retired in! Good for you🙏🏼. I think the FX30 could do a lot of good, but yep, I think its a bit too much zoom. I liked the 70/200 mark 2 and the extender a lot. Neat little package. However, if lowlight is a concern, checking out the FX3 might be a good idea too. That one outperforms any camera when it comes to low light.

[@Zdenek_Houdek]

I use FX30 for the family video. The FX30 camera brings me all the possibilities of professional cameras (even those that I don't use yet). Buying more expensive lenses brought the question of whether it was better to buy the FX3, but at the time of purchase there were many reasons for the FX30: better display, breathing compensation, greater variety of lenses. There may be some noise in dark shots, but it's subtle and can often be removed with software if we strive to do so. I've been shooting for 25 years, I've changed several cameras. The latter cameras in optimal lighting conditions give similar results, but in difficult lighting conditions (it's not just that there's not enough light) the FX30 far surpasses anything I have had so far. I'm glad for my choice.

[@SjoerdWess]

Im glad you're glad with your choice! The FX30 is an insane camera for the price. I absolutely loved shooting with the camera!

Hey Sjoerd, thank you another of your all time great behind the scenes + commentary regarding the entire shoot process, your thoughts and how you executed certain things. Your content is very much appreciated! It's simply delightful to listen to you because there is always a takeaway from your words of wisdom! Really stoked on the FX30. However, I would love to see a video or a written down process of how you handle Cine EI yourself (as your setup has been solely run and gun in Indonesia you either trusted the LUT completely on the camera screen - what you see is what you get regarding overexposing (rec709 or did you upload your own creative LUT for monitoring?) or must have used zebras as an addition (is that even possible in Cine EI?)). Also regarding post processing of the log files. Do you use the Sony Catalyst software? I could not find any way that makes DaVinci Resolve able to read metadata from the log files to automatically apply the exposure compensation you dialed in when shooting.

[@SjoerdWess]

Stefan! I wrote down the idea for this video and will definitely get into this! I used Catalyst for stabilising a couple times. Unfortunately, you have to use the standalone version as it doesnt support Resolve... You can definitely use Zebras in CineEI :-)

One thing about the RAW... it's only a centre crop of the sensor which puts it roughly around a micro four thirds size. Not sure why Sony didn't enable open gate RAW.

@@SjoerdWess did you ever get a response? My guess is that almost nobody is doing >4K RAW over HDMI. So, maybe it's hard. Sure you could downscale the picture from 6K to 4K RAW but is it still RAW then? Skipping lines would probably look bad too?

Finally a balanced review from an actual pro filmmaker! Found out a couple new things such as the improved screen resolution & RAW HDMI out. Nice. One obvious improvement over the FX3/FX6 you didn't mention I think is the 4K oversampled from 6K. Did you notice an increase in sharpness/detail? The final film is absolutely stunning and really sells the image quality of which I admit I had serious doubts when watching other footage. Most were using cheap kit APS-C glass. Those GM lenses sure are next-level!

[@SjoerdWess]

Thanks a lot. Huge compliment! I forgot to mention the oversampling... Stupid! You're right on that! And yep, the GM are killer!

Did you mention NDs? I was wondering what kind of solution you had there, because 25fps definitely needs it. In some BTS clips it looks like you might have a double polarizer VND?

[@SjoerdWess]

I used a Nisi Swift System ND!

Lens used in the airport ? Stunning shots the colors are so crisp. I’m a beginner in videography and will look forward to buy this. God’s will.

Hi there! That was the 16/35 gm sony!

If you also want to do some photo is it good enough or better off with a7iv ?

[@SjoerdWess]

Its different as its super35. So better compare it to a6600 or something

Hello sir , quick question about Sony fx30 - do I need to use a CFexpress type A card to be able to shoot at 4K 120 fps or a v60 or a V90 would work? Thanks much in advance !

[@SjoerdWess]

V90 will work!

[@ajayjadejavisuals]

[@SjoerdWess]

[@SjoerdWess]

Depends. FX30 sure is a great cam. But if you’re fullframe fan, you should consider addind some budgrt

[@OpeyEcom]

If you could only pick 2 lenses to take on a family vacation, which would you choose for the FX30?

[@SjoerdWess]

I think the Tamron 17/70 2.8 is super versatile!

[@EnterToxicArea51]
