[@SjoerdWess]

Such an amazing camera. Glad I could test this out myself. Great video, Matti!

[@pavans9981]

Hey @Sjoerd Wess, how is the codec compared to bmpcc did you struggle using the sony codec, can it match the quality and easy of use ?

[@WillBowers]

looking to expand my filming gear in the near future and this very well might be the perfect B cam for me. love this trend from Sony

[@TheRealJPAdventures]

Nice camera! I agree, the low light is an issue but seems to fairly well to adjust.

[@Sir_Bini]

I assume they kept the body size to maintain compatibility with FX line accessories and add-ons, especially the cage. Plus, if the body is identical, perhaps they cut on the costs of tooling for the new camera which also helps keeping the price tag down.

[@nofuturo]

Same reason Apple uses older iPhone models for their less expensive SE models.

[@caitlineye]

This is so exciting for the price point. An amazing entry point into a cinema camera. I love that Sony has options dedicated to video vs dedicated to photo. You could buy an A7RV for photo and then an FX cam for video and share the lenses. Hmm… time to switch from Canon? After the 3rd party lens news, very tempted.

[@JarraxQ]

Hey Caitlin, what 3rd party lens news? I'm on Canon as well 👀

[@mcintosh.motors]

@@JarraxQ No support, at least for now, for 3rd party lenses. You have to buy canon rf. That’s enough for me to make the switch. Sony here I come!

[@JarraxQ]

@@mcintosh.motors Yeah I bought Canon mirrorless a couple of years ago expecting to see some third party lenses by 2022-2023 but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. :(

[@mirrorlessny]

@@JarraxQ that's unfortunate, I think 3rd party lenses are vital so that we have the choice, many users have specific preferences like weight/reach/apertures, I been using Sony since 2017 with mostly native glass but do have several Sigma & Tamron lenses because they offer something that Sony doesn't, like Sigma28-70mmf2.8 being the lightest full frame e-mount in it's class

[@ahmd121774]

Excellent, as far as I know, Fuji cameras have introduced the 4k slow mo format and other features in photography, and this is great, which raised the competition in ❤❤❤❤this category....... Greetings to you

[@M2008tw]

I think it's great that the FX30 is the same size as the FX3, so if you've bought a rig it can be used on both.

[@jeffschaap]

The FX30 body is slightly smaller :(

[@ckasurinen]

Thanks for the 50% discount code Matti. Have been struggling to start my own journey to make video content and now with the purchase of my first ever GoPro camera (yes, the newest 11) and a steady place to get my music from I am ready to start. Love your videos ja kiitos paljon hyvistä ideoista sekä ammattimaisesta otteesta!

[@harryvuemedia5106]

So glad that Sony made this FX30. Very affordable and gives new flimmakers more options now. I would recommend this cinema camera over the a7C, a7iii, a6600 and a7Sii. At $1,800, heck you can get 2 lenses to go along with the fx30. Sony outdone themselves again.

[@royaltykidstv]

GH6 or fx30?

[@wolfmediaimaging5896]

you also get focus maps, and breathing comp, I feel like its a great option for all those who have a6600, or any apsc shooter with a lot of glass. the barrier for entry has been set super low and its truly amazing

[@KidxChaos01]

That’s what’s I’m thinking. I’m Looking into buying my first camera to shoot short films and even though I’d like the best of both worlds and would like a hybrid camera to shoot videos and photos as well as a full frame sensor, but when it comes down to it for what I want and need this is pretty much the best option

[@ericstelzer]

Love your videos! I had epidemic sound for a while then I just switched it up to artlist. Artlist hasn't impressed me and I've wanted to go back to epedemic sound. My artlist sub ends this month so this is perfect timing for a discount! Thanks bro!

[@Markersl33]

I have been wanting to get a cine camera was so looking for Fx3 but it Abit on the expensive side this fx30 seems great honestly apart from the crop the details are nice

[@ajalbetjr]

Excellent video, the FX30 can definitely also be used as a travel/vacation vlogging camera or a B camera, I would definitely be interested in using something like this instead of my A1 a lot of times while traveling... Thank you for the video and ***COUGH-COUGH*** I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for the A7RV REVIEW you will drop once the NDA drops on Oct 26th lol!!! CAN'T WAIT!! :D

[@ernatcho6409]

QUESTION: Do you know if you can activate the "crop mode" (1.62x) without entering 120fps? Say, shooting in the 4k 1.62x crop mode at regular frame-rates (24, 25, 30) with sync audio, just as a way to extend a prime lens' field of view? I checked all of the review videos that came out and none show the menu options that concern that. (Thank you for the great review!).

[@JebbAdams]

Awesome video Matt! After watching this video, I will rent the FX30 to compare it with the BM 6K Pro (& Nikon Z30) that I purchased a couple of months ago. This Sony competes very well against the 6K Pro on price & size! Awesome stuff! Thanks! Greetings from, Montreal! See ya next vid!

[@KidxChaos01]

I would love to get a 6k pro but I would also like a full frame camera which I think the A7sIII is…I also would like it to specifically be made for cinematic purposes but also be cheap as possible. So if I could just have a black magic 6k fx30 7III that would be amazing 😭

[@MonzonMedia]

Definitely very interested in the FX30. The FX3 is just way out of my price range and I've wanted a dedicated video camera to go along with my A7C which I use as a hybrid camera. The crop is actually good for me as I'm also a hobbyist wildlife shooter so the crop is great for that. Very impressed Sony! Time to save up!

[@kelvinvanvliet]

I heard in another review the FX30 doesn't have burst mode. So keep that in mind if you really want to shoot wildlife :)

[@MonzonMedia]

@@kelvinvanvliet good to know but not a deal breaker for me as I would use the FX30 for interviews and docu style shoots. The wildlife stuff is just for my hobby :)

[@chosenideahandle]

I'm using an A7C as well for travel videos and my channel. I would consider the FX30 for the occasional wildlife stuff as well, and my wildlife stuff is usually video. I would have to be able to do everything with one camera, otherwise I'm carrying both. I do kind of need built in interval shooting, because I do a ton of time-lapse work for my videos. I'd hate to have to rely on an external intervalometer. I'd love for someone to let us in on if it has interval shooting. Ok, the FX3 has interval shooting, so guessing this will too.

[@pal54321]

This is a crop for God's sake. Just get a different FF one

[@royaltykidstv]

@@MonzonMedia GH6 or Fx30 is my question?

[@AM1media]

The side by side comparison is stunning. I really want the FX3 to go with my a7siii... but now...

[@petrub27]

really? i see more dynamic range with fx3, and the fx30 appears lore contrasty and saturated; not very similar to my eye

[@garfieldirwin]

I thought the FX30 held its own really well. 👍

[@kevinhoctor62]

You’ve sold me on the FX30, Matti. Well done! What mic are you using with it for mobile vlogging?

[@Chaelaz]

Been shooting the ZV-e10 to get by until something like this FX30 came around. Might pull the trigger buying it and post to sell the ZV-e10 to offset the cost. Coming from old school cameras, the addition of XLR included with the handle, TC, and some other features, along with 4k60...hard not to buy. I've seen a lot of comparisons with low light, so will see how that goes. Will be great for lit scenes at least and will manage in tougher conditions.

[@TheOrisya]

4:45 tell me I'm daft but this is why the bigger full frame sensor always more appealing to me. I had my time with m43 sensor before and went on full frame because apsc/s35 isn't enough for me in terms of dimensions

[@yesterdaysover247]

classic matti video brings me back

[@ailo4x4]

This is awesome for those of who don't want to go FF and already have Sony APSC e mount lenses.

[@sondrevestheim]

Did you have more sharpening on the fx30? Or is it the oversampling? Definetly looks sharper🥶

[@SoundSpeeding]

As a Sony FS7 owner the FX30 is *EXACTLY* what I want to see for a B Cam! So I don't need to change over all my lenses away from Super 35

[@GalazM]

Hey Matti, can we PLEASE! get a tutorial on how to color grade high iso footage from Sony? Love your videos man

[@marcosuozzi]

Thank you very much for the 50% Matti 👍 Just did the subscription for one year 🤗

[@SrYtcam]

Wow it's amazing look and compact body fir cinematic camera

[@salvadorhierrorondan559]

FX30 looks great. A fine camera especially for the price. But FX3 gather much more light and you can clearly see on your face. Much better dynamic range.

[@StalinBrosef]

The image quality is great, however call me crazy but I can just FEEL the sensor crop. That being said, it's hard to beat the price point for the quality you get. It seems like a killer value.

[@nitsugazemag]

I like the idea of it more than what I’m able to see from the footage. The colors are so so. Might have a bit of magenta tint making you look a bit flushed than usual and I did noticed that light color changing in the background too. Who knows? Might improve or get fix with a firmware update? Kinda wished that there was some work-around to make Sony aps-c cameras more into a full-frame with a focal reducer with a Sony lens, but I don’t mind them. I feel they get a bad wrap when they’re bigger sensors than micro-4/3rds, and for a while, Panasonic’s video centric micro 4/3rd sensor cameras were popular, that’s not to say the sensor size equates to their value. I think it’s what you’re able to do with it that counts. Would it be nice to have a full-frame sensor camera? Sure, but it’s what you do with the tool that gives it value. I suppose with color grading, it could be a more pleasing image, for myself, but don’t have that sort of money, upfront, to buy that; maybe in a year or so, I can save up while juggling all my payments and other necessities lol.

[@Chris-ey7zy]

How would they use speed boosters with Sony lenses. They are same mount and same distance to sensor. Come on man. Think

[@nitsugazemag]

@@Chris-ey7zy I am aware that it is one mount for both. I was just simply saying that it WOULD be great IF there was a work around LIKE that, not that there should be or otherwise. THINK.

[@RidirFamilyGaming]

I keep wanting to get an FX3 as an upgrade from an A6400, this FX30 might just be the step I need to make the move. I do mostly indoor stuff so the low light part makes me sad but otherwise it seems pretty darn cool.

[@RidirFamilyGaming]

@Jerimiah CK × thanks for the tip

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

did you get the FX30 to replace your a6400? a big improvement? thanks

[@docwou]

Nice video, very informative. I like the content you produce! And, thanks for the Epidemic discount code!

[@OverNoobin]

Out of curiosity, what did you have the FX30 mounted to for this? I assume you weren’t using the handle because that would be ergonomically weird. I think this is a great camera & I’m looking to buy in 2023 Q1 & I’m already thinking about accessories. 😆

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

matt im an android guy, should i get 1 of these or an iphone 14? i was thinking about getting the a7s3 but i honestly have no idea how to use a real camera, thats the main reason i wana colab, not cuz u have a mil subs, btw i was in a meeting and this notification came up and i was like man i cant wait to click lol

[@gianluigipalomba]

Looks like a great camera! Good price for entry level 😄

[@ShezanSaleemakaJOG]

Matti what on camera mic did you have for this video?

[@MariusMutin]

That Casey vlog style, right there! Not bad! :D

[@ahmd121774]

Coll for cinema line 🎉 crob frame My question is did you push companies like Fuji to introduce slow mo 4k format or what pushes the rest of the companies towards 😅competition bidding farewell to full hd format officially from this stronger history remains in competition

[@MattLong101]

i love this, cant wait to get this camera

[@luisjpark]

looks amazing!

[@AlphaCentauri24]

Does 1080p 120fps have crop too? If yes, then is it same as 4k 120fps?

[@jeremyarrieta6869]

Great video as always. Its very chill. I’m thinking if i should upgrade from a7c. Hello Matti. I’ve looking for a insurance company who can cover my gears just incase something happened(water damage,theft,etc) Any recommendations?

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Cool! Nice video and camera. ✌️

[@ereceeme]

These sony fx3-30 just need a good compact evf to use outdoors on sunny days. Wish they had one then id buy one,

[@ParsclickTV]

THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!

[@jagostudioireland]

Matti - Thank you for the discount! Subscribed for a year!

[@Robert-Rojas]

I was looking to upgrade from my A7III to the FX3 but now this came out. What should I get now??

[@LeaveReligionDefenseless]

I’m wanting to make the switch from canon to Sony. Do you think the FX30 would be a downgrade from the R6?

[@gracerx]

Great code! Thanks!

[@TuckerPearce]

Wow, cool little camera. Do I sell my A7C? Nah, I love it. Great video as always Matti!

[@augustoadriano7756]

The auto focus is just insane 😍😍😍

[@AllThingsFilm1]

You mentioned a "bleeding" of the light on the FX30. Could you point that out? I didn't see anything unusual when you zoomed in at 6:34. Nothing noticeable. Just curious.

[@markshirley01]

Is there a crop in 4K 50/60. Plus is the 10-20 f4 equal to a F6 on full frame.

[@danielagatti9468]

Amazing video! I'm brazilian living in Brazil so the FX3 is just waaaay out of my reality. But I really liked the FX30... Now I just need to understand where the ZVE-1 fits in this competition. ZVE-1 vs FX-30 ........ which one is the best? What's the differences?? Dont knoooooow

[@tomaszbejnarowicz]

Is disscount on epidemic sound 50% off is for the whole year or first 3 monhts or something like that?

[@cweb1988]

was really hoping for same no crop features of the FX3....and same rolling shutter performance but there are some compromises unfortunately.

[@JourneyThroughNature]

The price point is same as that of A7C - worth taking this over that which is a fullframe ? Esp for someone getting into Sony first time ? ( Keeping cinema camera aspects aside )

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

depends, are you shooting slowmotion? what about photography? A7c is a great all in one cam. is shoots 4k video up to 30fps. so it really comes down to if you need super slow mo or not

[@lifeofapotato4595]

I quite noticed that FX30's footage has more grain (not that visible tho) compared to FX3's in same condition/type of shooting, also FX3's recorded the black better. Maybe because it's technically apsc vs FF, idk.

[@town3]

LOVE IT !

[@thesahdstudio]

I'm looking to bump up my talking head shot / b-roll game while shooting mostly indoors with poor lighting. I bought a Canon r6 but was let down with the photo-centric design of the camera. Can this little crop sensor be good enough for someone like me?! Hmmmm. Full-frame's still gotta be better right? Do I get this or a A7c/a7iv...

[@ariruishalme4403]

Looks like a perfect camera For My a7iii. I might buy this fx3 too expensive.

[@Rcmathis]

I want the fx3 so bad 😢 I just got my a7iii fixed up though ready to get back to it!

[@logicaltroller]

Its saying discount code has been expired MATTI50 does not work bro on epidemic sounds

[@jeffreyzarate8643]

which do you advise me for short films blackmagic 6k pro or sony fx30

[@SergFlicks]

If I have the Sony a74, only shoot video, and have no need for a B-cam, is the fx30 a step up down or sideways?

[@whitecollarworkshop]

Does it have recording limits and also is there overheating?

[@aryan_gupta418]

Dude I am planning to buy a mirrorless camera for first time and I had made my mind for Fx3 but after your video now I am confused which one I should go for my work is to shoot songs , bts for feature films and run and gun work ..

so whats the code that works?

[@wug9150]

Checking out on Epidemic sound but it says that the discount code has been expired😢

[@Sixty-three]

This is really exciting! I have an a6100 and I was looking to upgrade to the a7iv cause I could use better stability and want to have better colors, do you think this might be a better pickup instead?

Specific tool for a specific job. Better off with the a7iv

[@Sixty-three]

@@devvvvvvvvvvvv yeah that definitely makes sense! Thank you for that!

[@ailo4x4]

I'm shooting video on a Sony NEX VG20 (apsc e mount video camera) and want to move into the modern era. I've held off on the A6600 and this will do nicely. I want to keep my lenses and keep the cost/weight down. If you already have them and they work for you...just something to think about. Cheers!

[@Sixty-three]

@@ailo4x4 yeah that definitely kinda where I’m at. I already have some lenses for the 6100 so I’m thinking it might be a pretty solid upgrade. I’m doing more research to make sure but it looks amazing!

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

As far as stability you can have a zve10 and run you footage through catalyze. The stabilization in the Sony cameras struggle a little anyway.

[@JoeCnNd]

this would be good for someone podcasting that wants a bit more quality and audio with the handle device.

FX3 is the easy comparison but want I really want to know how it stacks up against the other Sony APS-C cameras a6600 and the ZV-10

[@brendaramirez8283]

This just made my upgrade decision harder! I've been shooting with an A7III for the last 2 years and happy with the photos/videos I get from it. I use an A7IV at work and I've been learning more about video and shooting in SLOG2&3 with both cameras. I was pretty sure I would buy the A7IV for myself this year but now tempted to get the FX30 and have that as a main video camera and continue using the A7III for photos. Or stick to the A7IV decision?? HELP!

[@justanotheruser9590]

Same struggle...

[@silverdar]

unless you already own aps-c lenses it makes no sense to go from a full frame sensor to a crop sensor. when you shoot full frame you don't usually downgrade to a crop sensor. it's usually the other way around. you upgrade from a crop sensor to full frame. if your video work is not "heavy-duty" the a7IV will cover pretty much everything and it gives you that 33 megapixels raw file and you don't have to invest in gear because you already own it. this camera was created for aps-c shooters who wanted a dedicated video camera. great camera nonetheless

[@Chris-ey7zy]

Get iv way better camera

Great question, besides the XLR inputs I wonder too

[@danbisson9679]

hey, a6400 user here - love my a6400, but FX30 has much less rolling shutter, 10bit video, image stabilization, 4k 120fps - lots of good extras!!

[@Thejohnventura]

I would say a lot. I have the a6600 and I love it but I’d get the fx30 for: 10bit recording, 4k60, no overheating, way less rolling shutter, better screen, better menu, better color science, more color depth, and more options for video shooters in camera.

[@justanotheruser9590]

Good points, but what about the A7iV? Similar price and specs as the fx30 but also great for stills...

[@uft516]

Epidemic or Musicbed? Which one Matti??? I hear that Musicbed “has the most high quality music”
