Younger shooters tend not to realize that "full frame" is a 35mm still photography concept and APS-C sensor sizes are closer to the traditional 35mm and Super 35 cinema frame. Full frame mania has thankfully kept APS-C prices down for a decade now. We budget filmmakers who know how to light and expose by hand are grateful.

Wait is that right? Wasn't video film also 35mm? Not talking cinema medium format imax or super 8 just standard film.

Keep in mind the 4k 120 crop is cumulative with the crop factor of the sensor size

Does this 4k 120p crop actually crop the usable space on the sensor, therefore reducing the available light even more and have even worse low light peformance?

[@rico5818]

​@@CheefyArbiterYes, but at the point of 120p, low light performance is the least of your worries as the time the sensor has to be exposed to light is minuscule anyways. So the low light performance isn't really the bottleneck

[@harrison00xXx]

something i see as advantage. I have acceptable 4k60 uncropped and superior 4k60 (1:1 pixel readout) in crop mode giving another 1,4x crop on top of the Canon R7s APS-C crop. Also we have to keep in mind most lenses you will pick on the effective focal length they have on the given camera, so in fact you can even make out of a lets say 17-55 aps-c lens (28-88mm on canon crop) another about 40-120mm with the crop video mode.

[@LeonardEisen]

Exactly! a 35mm on an aps-c is already a 52.5. add in another 1.6 crop factor and it’s an 84. cropping a 35mm lens to an 85mm is ludicrous. mind you, this also is a crop on the aperture. a 35mm 1.4 becomes roughly equivalent to an 85mm 3.36

Man, this guy has no clue what he's talking about. Both use the same image processors (the same as all of Sony's cameras since the a1, BIONZ XR) and the FX3 has less than half the resolution of the FX30. The FX3 has a larger full frame sensor, but with a faster readout, which increases it's production cost. Also the FX3 is bundled with the audio top handle, while it is an optional $400 accessory for the FX30. The price comparison considering that should be 2100 vs 3900.

Display resolution being different is simply Sony things. Latest camera gets a slightly better screen. They have been edging us with a slightly better card slot, slightly more versatile screen etc for years… and it unfortunately makes a big difference in convenience

[@mihaiserbanescu8676]

What I don't like about the FX30 is that it's nowhere near as good as its bigger brother in low light. The dual iso is stepped differently and it's so much lower. You absolutely have to control every aspect of the lighting or you will get a bad result. Meanwhile the FX3, see's through darkness like no one's business.

Never seen a pro with hundreds of events experience shooting on a apsc dlsr with 18-55 kit lens. Kit doesn't prove the skill, but likely someone rocking fx3+fx9 will potentially be more experienced than someone with a a6000 and 18-50 kit

[@josephpbrown]

​​@@cbflazaroYou have a good point, but I think that's beside the original point. Plus, sensor size hardly has anything to do with quality in the age of 12800iso camera bodies - the APSC trash-talk came from a time when 3200iso was an "artistic endeavour" and produced nearly unusable stills and video, and camera manufacturers have been selling the snake oil ever since. The main reason you'll see a professional use a FF cam like the FX3 is because their existing kit is all FF gear. This is usually because they were starting their professional endeavour anywhere from 10-30 years ago when the extra image area and larger pixel pitch of a FF sensor _DID_ make a visible difference to the final image, and they still want to use their existing lens set as they always have, without any cropping. Plus, the main draw of a higher-end video-focused body is ease of use. Something like a Canon DSLR, especially the APSC ones, were designed with stills in mind, and the video capability was hardly a concern and often got thrown under the bus, with rare exceptions like the later 5D models. At worst, you have to install 3rd party software (Magic Lantern) to even unlock the video modes on some older EOS cameras. And even then, they lack most of the video controls and UI elements that are so useful on these FX cameras, which is why they exist. The music production world has this all figured out. The end-user listening on their TV speakers won't notice the difference between a song mixed on a £2k Behringer mixing desk or a £200k custom-built SSL desk, but the main difference is _ergonomics._ The Behringer has all its functions and controls hidden away in menus, all 3 or 4 button presses away, with a proprietary button/menu layout only ever used on that specific console that was released in 2012. The £200k SSL has most of the controls mapped to physical knobs and buttons that are repeated for each audio channel. Those knobs and buttons react nearly identically to the same knobs and buttons laid out within a few mm of the SSL desks produced since the 1970s, that have mixed the majority of the music recorded in the last 40 years. The £198k difference pays itself off in the minutes you save each recording session not having to dig through menus to dial in the exact sound you want.

There are scenes that you simply cannot record the same way without an Fx6 forexample. Just lets do a basic test. Record a scene in a dark cave and the camera is on a slider or dolly , panning from the dark cave and following a subject that leaves the cave. Your sky will be overexposed. You either have to manually turn a VND while following a subject ( which is gear ) . Or use a camera w an built in electronic ND filter to compensate. You can raise the iso in the cave and mid shoot turn it down but thats gonna look nasty because the toning is not gradual and it would create a lot of noise in the dark scene.

Like how you use sticky notes 👍

[@dct124]

🤦🏾‍♂️ its not the sensor size for the millionth time. It's the photosites on the sensor 😅 this is why an Arri Alexa 35 has far greater dynamic range and low light performance than any full frame, medium format or large format sensor. Bigger eyeballs and better circuitry.

[@komay]

Larger sensors will always have a light advantage over smaller sensors ignoring pixel density.

@@komaywhy?

[@komay]

​@@daesong1378Take two lights with the same intensity, and the larger one will always be ''''brighter'''' than the smaller one because it covers a greater area. The same is true for the size of a sensor. I imagine the Alexa 35 is the case of a camera with a LOT of money put into its sensor and circuitry design, so it can't exactly be compared to cheaper FF cameras like the FX3 given the money they have to play with. If you were to apply the Alexa 35's technology to a larger sensor, the larger sensor will absolutely outperform it. That's why OP's comparison isn't a good one.

[@GROGU123]

Sony A7SIII is made for video, it's a full frame sensor with only 12MP.

[@harrison00xXx]

you missed the point where the 35mm isnt just becoming a 50-55mm, but its because of the additional crop factor in 4k120 up to like 80mm not even close to your number you mentioned. This heavy crop can be an advantage or a BIG DISADVANTAGE whoever use the camera.

[@rowanstothard6758]

We should start talking about field of view when referring to crop factor. A 35 still has all the characteristics of a 35 when put on an apsc camera. It has the fov of a 53mm lens but performs and looks like a 35 in every other aspect.

[@harrison00xXx]

The look might differ noticeable. Just keep in mind, to replace a 50mm 1.8 lets say, you would need a 35mm F0,95 lens to keep the low DoF.

[@rowanstothard6758]

@@harrison00xXx incorrect again. The DOF doesn’t change with sensor size. If you put the subject the same distance from a M4/3 sensor and a full frame sensor they would look identical apart from the subject appearing larger in the frame on the m4/3. An f0.95 lens will look, perform and keep all its characteristics no matter what sensor you’re using.

[@harrison00xXx]

@@rowanstothard6758 No, you are wrong. To get the DoF and FoV of a 50mm 1.8 on FF with APS-C you need about 35mm F0.95. you know… shorter focal length also increase depth of field, and so you have to use a bigger aperture.

[@creepyloner1979]

you gain a stop worth of lower noise but most of the time you lose it to full frame requiring a stop smaller aperture to get the same dof, and therefore a stop higher iso.

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

uuuh you got some thigns very wrong here mate. A full frame sensor doesn't require more processing power based on its physical size... if anything, the FX30 needs more processing power because its 4K video is downsampling from a 26MP sensor while the FX3 is only 12MP. Then you completely messed up the crop factors : you completely forgot that the sensor already had a crop of its own of the FX30. So if you record at 4K120 with a 35mm lens on it oyu'll not get a 56mm equiv... you'll get a 35 x 1.5 (sensor crop) x 1.6 (4K120 crop) = 84mm equivalent

[@creepyloner1979]

not downsampled, they just read 4k worth of the sensor's photosites.

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

@@creepyloner1979 I usd the wrong term. The FX30 is doing oversampled 4K out of a 6.2K images downsampled into 4K. That's a little confusing. Even more so for the camera since it needs to process that 6.2K video into a 4K one, and that's much harder than simply reading out 1:1 4K on the sensor. This is what the FX3 does (kinda) What you're mentionning however is either pixel binning or line skipping, which the FX30 doesn't do.

[@motiva1e605]

I want a FX3 but my budget allows for……iPhone 3G

[@arshiaabdi952]

What is the crop?

[@Harvardsons]

When the lens provides an image that is bigger than the sensor, whatever falls outside of the sensor is ‘cropped out’. Resulting in not getting the full focal length -the ‘width’ of the shot- in your camera. The smaller the sensor, the more is cropped out.
