SONY FX30 - REAL WORLD WEDDING FILM - IS BASE 2,500 ISO TRASH?

In this video I use the Sony FX30 as main camera to film a wedding and discuss how I used it and my overall thoughts. I also discuss the second base ISO 2,500 and if it is a legit base ISO compared to 800.

[@JacksonJoJ]

Bought an A7iii a year ago seeing if I could monetize portrait and video work. Made the jump to FX30. The 10 bit color down, downsampled 4k from 6, active stabilization making everything SO MUCH easier and look so good! It was good to learn all the basics with older tech restrictions. Now feels like the training wheels have been taken off. Love the FX30. I feel like it's the perfect way for someone like me to move up the camera line and still make professional stuff without having to spend 4,000 bucks on a camera and then can spread other budget stuff to more glass and lights. This and your lens video are great although I just bought the samyang 35mm for black friday but I got the non autofocus one. Guess I'll use it as an excuse to work on my manual focus.

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

great! I have a sony a6400 and I have used a A7iii too but I wonder if this FX30 would be better in picture quality than these two ...I always bring some LED panels to my weddings etc of course I wish I could get the FX3 but that's too rich!

[@musicology313]

Great video brotha, I feel that much more confident I made the right choice going with the FX30. Can’t wait til it arrives. Obviously the GM lenses are 🔥 but I hope the APSC lenses I got look pretty solid as well

Love your videos man! Your wedding films are gorgeous. As a fellow wedding filmmaker, your films look and style really inspires me. I just got the fx30 as a B cam to my A7IV. Going to use it this weekend for the first time at a wedding and this was definitely helpful! Thanks!

[@nVuFilms]

Awesome and thank you!

[@Moresco24]

would you say I could use the fx30 as main camera for weddings? the a7iv has rolling shutter bad

[@talvisions_films]

@@Moresco24 Vu proved you can with this video! I’ve been using my FX30 more interchangeably as a main camera. Just stick to faster glass for lower light scenarios and it works great! I personally don’t experience a lot of the rolling shutter issues based on how I use my camera either :)

[@nVuFilms]

@@Moresco24 yea

[@ngonzale3]

As a Fuji user, an FX30 is a fantastic competitor against the Fuji Xh2s. Great quality and functionality and for less money!

[@marianmojzis]

Thanks for this video!! It really helps me to decide to go for this camera:) I shoot my first 2 weddings (only last one is on YT, the first one was GH5) on rented Sony A7SIII and I because A7SIII is soo much expensive and way over my budget, I think FX30 could be a camera for me to come into wedding (and not only wedding) videography. I was actually afraid only by two things: Stabilization: I know FX30 has some,maybe not that best as A7SIII but I think handheld situations will be just fine. And Low light: which this video totally helps me to realize, it is not that bad as in many reviews some of the ppl say.

[@Pontcher]

Man, I just think that its so dumb the way that have so many KZbinrs just compare fx30 with FX3/A7sIII and say that is not enough.... I think that they dont use their heads.... FX30 it's a huge upgrade for who has a a6X00 series... isnt a upgrade for who has a FF like these, just a B or C cam...

[@nVuFilms]

Absolutely lol

[@Snakebyte3301]

I absolutely agree the FX 30 wasn’t designed to compete with those cameras. It was to provide a budget entry for someone who wanted a good video based camera or wanted a B camera

[@PascalVideography]

Yes, right. I actually planning to upgrade from a6400 to fx30. And in this video Ive found a lot more motivation to do it. The thing about lighting a scene and the Neat video software are very usefull tips. Thank you!

[@letzdownloadacar1218]

The FX30 is a VIDEO CAMERA. Where it lacks comparatively to it's big brother the FX3, it emphasizes traditional film-making essentials. I picked one up last week, love it. If i could afford/justify an FX3 I would in a heartbeat, but the 30 is solid step in the right direction. Your video was no bs, thanks for keeping it real man. Now I'm gonna return my sigma zoom for a faster prime like that 35. Appreciate your work, thank you! "...if you're not Asian so you don't know math..." haaaaahhahahaha

[@miguelavila2151]

Do you keep the whole wedding shot at the lowest Aperture number? In your case 1.4? I find I am missing focus or part of the subject out of focus a lot of the time.

[@AndyLSB]

I can confirm this, you can have very noisy 12800 ISO on the A7SIII, I had it a couple of months ago before I sold it, and it is not a “low light king” first of all, I do agree with you 100% and FF is not the only choice, can’t wait for my FX30 to arrive, it is a beast.

[@samuelmoser]

Fantastic video. Thanks for the great info. I am planning on buying the fx30 for my growing business. I just started with doing business and my current camera cannot cut it anymore. I have a little question to you or to all people reading this comment. Would you rather bump up the iso (greater than high base iso) or just film at high base iso and adjust exposure in post production. You can denoise both options......

[@nVuFilms]

If you stick with the base. 800 and 2500... Your adjustments in post will pretty much look the same as if you filmed at like 6400iso Example if you film at 6400iso... Denoise and exposure is done by your camera is baked in to your footage. If you film the same scene at 2500 iso. And you increase exposure in post and denoise yourself with whatever editor you are using. It will look similar 🤷‍♂️

i have a7s3 and a7m4, i also shoot night event. You think sony fx30 can keep up which these cameras?

[@gundam00z]

Hi, really need others opinion about this: I have a A7RIII (recieved it as a gift) and I use it to shoot wedding video. (I know it's a photo-centric cam but thats all i have now) What I notice is that in indoor and less than ideal situations, my footages tend to be grainy and I have to crank up the iso (about 2500 to 4000). Setting up lights in the area is not feasible as well. Should I go for Fx30 or save up more for the Fx3? Im wondering if the new apsc sensor would be better than older FF sensor in terms of lowlight. Really digging the 10 bit colour. Also keep up with the videos! Very informative!

Fx30 if budget tight . Always set up lights

[@lukastemberger]

Hey dude, I'm a new sub, great content. You need your own sitcom :) If you need less shadows with a 60d, get a lantern for it. It even looks better than a softbox at a wedding. If you put two of them close to the corners of the room and they bounce off the walls, you get a nice and soft light. But that is neither here nor there...

[@nVuFilms]

Too big

[@lukastemberger]

@@nVuFilms That's what she said. Fair, true. You could try to find a smaller one, but I don't think Aputure makes them smaller... I have the big one... Check out Aputure Space Light or they call it a Drum light. It has a smaller diameter and does a similar thing.

[@nelsonngu]

Great video, and great information provided! I do have a question, I just starting off and using sony a7III shooting hybrid for my company. I am thinking should I keep my a7III and get the FX30 or should I just upgrade to a7IV and be the hybrid shooter?

A cho e hỏi là fx30 so với a74 thì thế nào ạ

[@MeilikPepper]

Your glasses-free hat-free twin brother is annoying, you are very patient with him. But you both make perfect sense! Thank you for this video 👍🏻 I mainly do documentary work and am considering the FX30, I need smth light and powerful and video oriented. Also affordable. It would be my first move into the Sony system. (Other than my AX100 which is a camcorder and just for fun use). I’m currently a Canon dslr user, haven’t switched yet to Canon mirrorless as the RF glass is quite expensive. And I need a system I can invest in with confidence when it comes to 3rd party lenses. I’m very tempted with Fujifilm, a combo of XH2s and XS20, but Fujifilm being an apsc and medium format system only is holding me back tbh. That’s why the FX30 sounds like the reasonable choice. An entry to the Sony system that I highly respect due to my AX100. I’d still need to consider an affordable full frame Sony camera oriented more to photography. Maybe an A7IV…
