I’m new to this and I learn so much from this channel. ✌🏽 ✊🏽

[@themarksmanABP]

For people using the fx3 as a primary film camera, the fact it has the power zoom slider for pz lenses is really underestimated imo. Having the ability to have real smooth cinematic zoom movements from the camera will be a major for some people. I own neither but that feature along with tally lights is majorly appealing. I currently own the a7iv and only now getting into film making. Great camera to learn with, I may add the fx3 in the next year once I'm more to grips with filming.

[@DinamicMC]

U can use it to make digital zoom :)

[@poman911]

I liked the a7S3 so much I bought two of them within 3 months of release in 2021. I got the a1 as the b-cam but got tired of doing color matching so I got a third a7S3 this year. I never considered the FX3 because I really like the view finder in the a7S3.

[@nVuFilms]

🤙

[@bleucitron2]

I confirm: the VIEWFINDER is very important in bright sunlight or in the dark: it really helps to "zoom focus" with the peak funktion and nail sharpness with manual ciné lenses or when the auto-focus is lost in low light .

[@martin_wood]

@@bleucitron2 Yeah definitely, If only the FX3 had a hotshoe EVF! They made one for an older camera

[@o.f.ftrack3444]

Damn dude get you get me one too 👀

[@nor690]

You need color matching between the a1 and a7s3?

[@bleucitron2]

HI Vu ! Thanks for your helpful and insightfull humorous reviews. As an amateur photograhper / videographer, like many, I dream of the As3 /Fx3. Your review helped me realize that I should be happy with my A7-III and that can save towards of a A7-IV instead. A PRO obviouly has more need for 10 bit color and 60/120 fps in 4k. Once mastered, the A7-iii already produces stunning video and photos that I am very happy with. I also wish you and the community a happy new year 2023!

[@andyxmunoz]

I’m grabbing an FX3 tomorrow, so I’m ecstatic to join the tubedoucher ranks.

[@RandumbTech]

I picked up the FX3 as well after the new firmware. I’m not a pro so I just use S-Cinetone and call it a day. The reason I bought it was for the built in time code support. I do a lot of ambient recording and record that externally. The only reason I chose the FX3 over the FX30 so I can use all of my FF lenses as they were intended. I pair the FX3 and with my A7iv and it’s a match made in heaven. I guess that makes be a YT d bag 😂. How do u like the Falcam cage for the FX3?

[@nVuFilms]

Cool. Love falcam

[@igorpavloff]

which recorder do you use with fx3's timecode? zoom / tascam?

[@jarreterasmus]

I personally love the view finder. I don’t really understand what people don’t use. It’s great for quickly checking your focus or exposure when playing back the footage.

[@nVuFilms]

I used it a handful of times

[@gabriomaglieri7556]

same here, for runngun is a real life saver when direct sun hit

[@jasonguido9057]

I use the viewfinder when in bright outdoors or to stabilize during handheld shots, but since I use glasses, it is not that great. Also, during covid times, my breathing to my mask while on the viewfinder would fog my glasses and I would lose time cleaning them.

So the ending of this video is too cute

[@creativefilmz]

Great informative /comparison video but what about the Atomos Ninja V. With the Atomos I'd say the A7Siii is still viable just a matter of choice. It also allows you to load LUTS and preview along with other helpful scopes and features. The A7siii has more has more focus points. They both have pros and cons. But I don't think you loose either way just different form factors and features.

[@nVuFilms]

Just to reiterate, I don't want to have to have a monitor.

[@martzallmedia]

@@nVuFilmsut the screen is shit anyways. Monitor is the way to go on both if your serious about videography

[@pizzomedia7261]

Great video. How are you setting up your FX3 to toggle between a preview LUT and the flat Slog3 profile view? If I adjust my settings to get proper exposure with the preview LUT I will be under exposed. I usually go 1.5-2 stops over to expose slog3. What am I doing wrong? How can I preview a LUT when shooting and nail the exposure correctly? Thanks!

[@nVuFilms]

U adjust the lut -1.5 and save the lut. Then import the lut into your fx3. When you film and you are at 1.5+2.0 your image on your display will look proper

hi Vu what about image quality is it exactly the same? or fx3 has softer look thanks

[@nVuFilms]

It's exactly the same.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

I started with an a7s3 and then needed a b cam. The only option available in the UK at the time for stock levels was an FX3 at about the same price as the a7s3 so that wasn’t an influencer like it might be in the US. Now I hardly use the a7s3 as the FX3 feels better in the hands and for the menus. Tilta half cage is nice on it and even with a big monitor on top of a top handle it still feels quite well balanced when you get used to it. I think both exist purely to please different people and to try and win customers away from the competition

[@nVuFilms]

🤷‍♂️

[@insom4539]

Aduuu! Cine ei is basically gamma assist just for the camera screen, when you shoot a dark scene, you will raise the ISO to capture the details in the shadows, normally without cine ei the image on camera screen is over exposed and you can’t see. Cine ei hence darkens the image so it doesn’t look over exposed. Dududududu

It's basically a way for you to judge exposure on screen whether over it under exposed without baking in footage

[@nVuFilms]

Oh really? Didn't even realize that. Was it is in flex iso mode maybe

[@cbflazaro]

@@nVuFilms no. 2.0 firmware removed slog2 from the gammas selection. The 4 Ch audio used to be displayed in 4 lines over the image on the left. Now they pushed the audio monitor bars at the top, which looks great when it's 2ch audio. But on 4ch instead of displaying 4 long lines. They put 2 very small bars on each line which is hard to monitor visually
