Sony FX30 Is Worse Than Sony A6400 [HDR]

[@morgonaut]

To all of those angry haters in comments: Instead of posting angry hate comments you should watch better! Exactly at 2m38s I clearly showed zoomed in comparison from which is clear the FX30 simply has lack of detail (focus on the line charts - already 3rd square has NO DETAIL in FX30 footage, just all grey mess), so even if you would sharpen it in post it would not help at all. If you sharpen footage with no details you will not magically gain any new details! Proof of my truth -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ6YiWxohN-EgKc

I saw several test, and I after all videos I saw and must to agree with you. Is something weird in the video quality of fx30. I remember the same with the Nikon d810, everyone was saying that the quality was stunning but I remembered a lot of pictures blurry, after a while they discovered that the mirror create a shock that produce this. Long history short, just believe your eyes

[@morgonaut]

@Dorta - you don't need to "believe my eyes", I showed clear footage where anyone can see the difference :)

[@dorta1812]

@@morgonaut I was speaking figuratively. I didn't mean to trust you. I meant that one should trust what one sees. Sadly I had big hopes for the fx30, but I will buy the Panasonic S5 mark II instead

[@DennisSchmitz]

The FX30 is the first Sony Alpha based camera (A1 actually too) that doesn't have any sharpening applied by default. You can still add sharpening in-camera or better in post. Older cameras have lots of sharpening applied that can't really be removed in post. With the FX30 and A1 you finally have a choice. I hope that NR can be disabled in future updates as well, that would push the Alpha line closer to the Venice.

[@GasWorksISO]

And there it is folks. The truth.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Good bit of info with no pun intended.

[@morgonaut]

thanks ricky. Some people here in comments simply don't like to hear the truth :) Especially when they bought recently the FX30 😂

[@morgonaut]

@Harut Hajin - ? I don't understand your question. I shoot 8K to be able in post zoom in to deliver crisp 4K. I don't shoot 1080p at all. FX30 can shoot only 4K from oversampled, or 4.7K RAW out

[@morgonaut]

@Dennis Schmitz - "With the FX30 and A1 you finally have a choice" - that's not true, I don't have a choice. As I said here in comments already for XXX times I want control over every aspect myself, not been forced by camera. You cannot make blurry footage in editing magically sharp, but you can soften naturally sharp footage!

[@FKPROMO]

I own both cameras. I love my A6400 for photos, but as far as videography, it no longer suits me. Nobody looking for a cinematic look and buying a pocket cinema camera is looking for over-sharpened visuals. This is why log formats often have a detail value of -7 by default.

[@PeterKoperdan]

This "issue" is most likely due to FX30 and A6400 having a different amount of default sharpening applied. This sharpening is almost certainly not applied as a final step to an already "baked" image. Sharpening is almost certainly applied during the demosaicing process before the RAW data is "baked" into the final image. And I am not talking about creating imaginary/fake detail, but about extracting detail from the RAW data during the demosaicing process. Any pixel peeper trying to squeeze the most of their RAW images in Lightroom knows what I am talking about. This basically means that with a different sharpening setting FX30 footage could have the same amount of detail as A6400. Lady, there is a simple way to find out - test different sharpening levels for both cameras and see what you get. So far you don't seem to acknowledge this whole technical detail ;-) You may be an old school Mac expert, but cameras are their own thing (especially high end videocentric cameras). There are many settings and variables to consider and it's easy to overlook even the simplest things...

[@VZAAGE]

In your settings for the FX30 it looks like you're shooting 4:2:0 at 50mbps. Try shooting 4:2:2 and 200 mbps and you should get much better image quality.

[@morgonaut]

I of course maxed out the settings available

[@VZAAGE]

@Morgonaut  at 2:13 it shows your settings and those aren't the max settings. It could be that the SD card you're using won't allow you to shoot at higher settings. Is it a V60 or V90 card?

[@morgonaut]

I said clearly I used SAME SETTINGS = same maxed out settings possible from cam 1 on Cam 2. That's the only way how to do fair comparison = ON SAME SETTINGS. Uff, I give up 😡

[@VZAAGE]

@Morgonaut  actually you said "I of course maxed out the settings available" but now since you're claiming to have only matched the settings then it really isn't a comparison of which camera is capable of giving the best image quality, is it?

[@morgonaut]

yes as I said I maxed out settings according to camera A! 4:2:2 vs 4:2:0 is not responsible for so huge loss of detail so your theories are pointless!

[@Caliknows]

Let's not get carried away, I have both, this new FX30 overheats in tropical weather I'm here in Puerto Rico despite high temp. Playback issues "unable to display", and yes the sharpness may lack in certain areas, but 10 bit @ 120 fps is pretty handy for some. Also fx30 more weather sealed from looks of it.

Haha, I like this Video! Which Len best for a6400 for street shots? Does a6600 best than 6400?

[@morgonaut]

it depends what you want to achieve, what's your style etc. This 16mm is roughly equivalent of full frame 24mm and is great. No I would not invest into 6600, the 6400 is sufficient.

[@McHughFilmCompany]

Definitely invest in the a6600 if its in your budget. The a6400 is excellent too but the battery life and IBIS in a6600 are just a couple of the benefits compared to the a6400

[@Xcx284]

Straight to the point! Great video ma’am!

[@aifotos]

Hey! I have to say, if you are going to make a sharpness test, you first need to find the lens sweet spot which in this case is 2.8. Make the test using this aperture value and you would be amazed by the results.

[@morgonaut]

@aifotos - that's absolute BS. 1) the Sigma 16mm 1.4 is well known for it's sharpness even wide open and mainly 2) absolutely does not matter at what aperture I do all tests, what matters is to test both cameras at the same aperture and settings. So when A6400 at 1.4 is much sharper than FX30 at the same aperture then it's clear the FX30 is not as sharp!

[@aifotos]

@@morgonaut you keep repeating the word SHARPNESS, haha and honestly I usually use Black promist filters on my lenses to get rid of the digital sharpness that most cameras have nowdays. for photography is another topic and the Fx30 is a Video First camera and if you do not admit that, you are so wrong.

[@morgonaut]

does not matter what you use, it does not change a thing on a fact the FX30 is not as sharp as the A6400! And we are not talking about any "digital" sharpness but original natural sharpness

[@JeffBourke]

I agree with the girl. The Sigma16 is sharp wide open even for photography. I suspect this may be the difference between in camera sharpening by default.

[@morgonaut]

@Jeff Bourke - as I said in this video sharpening was off on both cameras and matched HLG profiles!

[@chariesbergero9662]

I was thinking in the test comparison you did, and maybe the different in "sharpness" could be in the filter for moire that the Sony FS30 has and the A6400 maybe don't has because is a photo camera. For example, I can see a little moire in your glass, maybe you can use a BlackMagic Pocket cinema or a Sony A6400 for record your video. I don't know, this is just my thoughts---

[@luis-carneiro]

Well, I have a Sony A7r III and now also the fx30. I shoot with pp10 with sharpness with -7 and I do the sharpness adjustment when I edit the video. I didn’t find any difference regarding sharpness and both of them can be quite sharp. Is the default setting of FX 30 different from Sony 6400? Can you share your HDR workflow? The image of your video is awesome!!!

From what I can see in the video, it doesn't actually have the same settings. On the a6400 you record at 100mbp and on the FX30 at 50mbp. The comparison should be with the maximum mpb capacity of the FX30, then you'll notice that it's better.

I was planning to order FX30, but all the video samples and footages seen on youtube was really blurry. So it felt like an downgrade (i own several a6600&a6400's for my multi-cam studio). 4K 50/60fps was my next step but it feels like i will wait a bit for a better cam. A6700 is maybe a better choise. BTW If you crank up FX30 camera setting sharpness +9, how does it look? Thanks!❤

A have got camcorder Sony AX-100 (4K/25) and Sony FX-30 (4K/120). AX-100 is old, but very good camcorder. On the same level like A6400 and in some points better, I think. The video from it is very very sharp but very softly noise too. FX-30 is without noise (under normal conditions) and very smooth - like the film. This camera is designed for video, not for foto. I love the FX30 video look.

Hey, you clearly have your priorities wrong, sharpness is not a factor to consider AT ALL in this field, plus some big creators even tell people to blur some of their footage slightly to give it a less clinical look...the fx30 is way better than the a6400 in many regards, 10bit, 4k120, CINE-EI, stabilisation, xlr port...

I recently bought an fx30 and also got disturbed and dissapointed by the muddy quality in Full HD. (I didn't know Sony's FHD was SO BAD!) They also messed up the codecs for FHD, one is 16mb (which is too little) and the other is 50mb (which is too much for FHD). I compare with my older Lumix camera where the FHD is exactly what it needs to be - good. :) Pity that noone is making real reviews, most of the youtubers are simply fan boys (not having real experties and not done proper tests with the camera), but trying to live off affiliate links.

@@morgonaut Yes, mine is for sale too. Generally it could have been a good camera, theoretically. I still can't believe how is it that it's almost the same as the FX3 (which is so expensive) and I don't like it, It won't fit my professional workflow. If you want some more food for thought (or to use it in your honest videos) I can enumerate some of the problems: poor ibis (main reason why I can't use it) - sony cameras are obviously only for gimbal users ;d muddy FHD; the exposure tools don't work properly - with the histogram and zebras I expose my image correctly and when I get back and see it on the computer, the highlights are way blown out; you can't use it as a photo camera, some simple photos maybe but no flash support, no burst mode, no mechanical shutter; video assist functions are limited on the screen - you can only have one of the following: either for focus, level or histogram, you can't have multiple assist features at the same time; the noise is also somewhat pronounced and visible, maybe there's less noise reduction idk; Maybe the could be more stuff, but these are my main findings about this camera. Have a great day!

thats what folks love now a days haha, my two cents are that a6400 is consumer based, fx30 prosumer based. so I kinda see why fx30 is softer. to different looks both have there place.

Marganout, you may have a bad copy of the FX30 or a smudge on the sensor.... I did a test with the A6400, A6600 and the E10 for laughs and giggles and the quality on the footage out of the FX30 has better output than all... Note: I did not have a chart or anything scientific tool to measure it but all I have is over 2 decades of professional experience and I can assure you the quality of the FX30 is above the A6's series but the A6's are still king in various "photography" aspects. Conclusion, if you don't need all the extra features that the FX30 offers, some a series are more than enough, but I would not redirect FX30 users to believe a less superior camera is better than it.

I'm confused if I should listen to someone with a mic that sounds likes it's in a microwave or other professionals with more honesty, more in-depth review, more experience with cinematography, etc. You're saying that everyone is angry because you said the “truth” even though they are trying to correct you. The FX30 has bad low light capabilities, which everyone should know by now. The reason probably why you're getting noise is maybe because you have poor lighting and/or the wrong settings. If you try again with better lighting and not with the factory settings you will see the difference. You may be also using a PP that doesn't get the most colours out of it. The ZV-E10 was way better than the a6400 WITH the right setting and GOOD lighting. The FX30 also need different accesories such as external recording for 16 bit. The a6400 at it's best vs the FX30 at it's best is the samething as a hotwheels vs a honda civic or something. I said honda civic since there is way better cameras but for a higher price.

Sharpness & Detail are both different thing! Sharpness necessarily doesnt mean one camera is better than other. I bet that Sony A6400 footage looks considerably sharper than buttery smooth Arri footages I have seen. Does that make A6400 a better camera? Cinema cameras infact implement OLPF in their design to make the detail look more organic and not oversharpened in camera.

It's not about in camera sharpening. Actually saw another post from another male youtuber..compared against the A7C the FX30 IS clearly soft, just like the other woman said and demonstrated. No way around it. Meanwhile i spent time and money researching to buy the best glass that i could afford and now should use on a softish body and tell myself it's OK because, hey, "it's cinematic". No thanks.So why research glass to begin with? Why not just buy any soft junk? Fooslish logic. Might as well shoot on a 1080 camera. You can always soften an image to taste -but if the detail isn't there to begin with.....forget it. It's not a question of saying well, it's 10 bit, great dynamic range, codecs, yada yada yada. I want all THAT of course, but ALSO at least the resolving power of the older comeras - or better, since it's more money $$ and it's a newer body. Not 3 steps forward and one backwards..

[@reagenlee4323]

Did you find any solution to solve this yet? @morgonaut

[@morgonaut]

😇 yes, I did get rid of the FX30 and bought R5C

[@liscvideo]

After 50 seconds you already denied whoel video 10bit is just much better than 8bit and being sharper doesn't mean better

[@morgonaut]

so you would rather have blurry footage without detail which would satisfy your 10-bit ego?! OK, your decision 😇 You don't need to get FX30 to get image with lack of detail, grab any camera, put crappy lens on it and you got it 😇 BTW this video's A-Roll was shot in 8K RAW 12-bit so I have an idea how good image with lots of detail and dynamic range looks like, but between the FX30 and A6400 I still prefer the footage from the A6400.

[@liscvideo]

@@morgonaut well I shoot with FX30 and it's definitely not blurry xD

[@morgonaut]

nothing is blurry without proper comparison 😇 If you would do the same as me you'd have to admit that the FX30 footage lack details.

[@liscvideo]

@@morgonaut what details? It literally have 10bit colours which is also details, sharpness is not what we are looking for, that's why buy black pro mist filters...

[@morgonaut]

OK so you clearly refuse to understand 😇 No problem, so take your "10bit colours", I'll keep my A6400 and my RAW 12-bit cameras 😇

[@harripods]

Maybe you should learn how to use the FX30 properly. I upgraded from a6400 and I just love my FX30 it’s a great camera for video

[@MyPortugueseCulture]

Fx30 is way better. 10bit. You are not using the right lut

[@morgonaut]

@MyPortugueseCulture - I never use any LUTs!

Your lens must be malfunctioning. Look at his electronics contacts must have a problem.

[@morgonaut]

so you wanna say my lens "must be malfunctioning" on FX30 but magically works great on A6400??? That's obviously BS 😇
