Should you buy the SONY FX3 in 2024?

[@RobbPadgett]

As an editor and indie film guy, I love the footage from the FX3 (and the A7S III, but the FX3 is slightly better). Great in low light. Great to color grade. Game changer for indie feature film production.

Great production, keep up the good work. I know enough about the fx3, but you kept me watching👍👏

[@darpinomedia9619]

@@nordfilmcompany I really appreciate that!

Just bought one and in the back of my mind kept thinking it is 3 years old, sony should be coming out with a new version anytime. But I needed it now, I’ve got an RS2 Gimble and this will be a sweet addition. I also have a PXW Z90V that was on my Gimble but found it a bit wonky and a pain to switch back and forth from tripod to Gimble. I also got an FS7 for my clients to see they are spending money on big gear lol! Great video man, I’m on board!

[@darpinomedia9619]

Totally get it, genuinely don’t think the FX3 will be obsolete for a very very long time. Even if Sony has a mark ii I don’t know what they could do that would make me NEED it.

[@braxtonwoullard1188]

Been thinking about getting it and pairing it with my a74.

[@darpinomedia9619]

It’s a dream team combo!

[@quainejohnson4808]

Would love to know what you think. I'm getting this camera and my shooting partner has the a7iv, hopefully they can collaborate well together

[@darpinomedia9619]

@@quainejohnson4808 Oh they match together very easily.

Lovely video! Hoping to get mine next week. Just one feedback though. The music bed was a bit too loud and was drowning your voice

[@darpinomedia9619]

I appreciate it! I’ll definitely make sure to lower it a bit.

I’m a comedian and am torn between the A7Siii and FX3. I primarily will stick it on a tripod and film myself in comedy clubs (low light) 4K 24 perhaps as long as 30-45 minutes (continuous). Is it possible that the A7Siii will overheat? The FX3 has an internal fan and that’s the only thing making me second guess myself.

[@darpinomedia9619]

@@sherwinarae I don’t have any direct experience with the A7siii, but I’ve never heard of any overheating issues

[@RKKY-mf7fe]

Wait for the next update or buy it if you can make it back in a year.

[@darpinomedia9619]

@@RKKY-mf7fe agreed, but even with the update I think it’s going to be a great buy for a while still

[@Dan_photo]

Great video. Thanks for the review!

[@darpinomedia9619]

@@Dan_photo of course! Thanks for watching.

[@krisangelo727]

though it is still worth buying and will be for probably a good few years, sony will probably release the mark II within 2025. that’s just my best guess. it will have been for years

[@krisangelo727]

*four years

[@darpinomedia9619]

I agree, they will probably release a mark II eventually. But I can’t imagine anything they could add that would make me buy it anytime soon. But I’ve been wrong before lol
