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!

[@Eastudios925]

LOVED THE CINEMATICS but LOVED the ad read more lmao! Cant believe you brought out the twin for the youtube vid! Great vid

[@nVuFilms]

🤣🤣thanks

[@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!

Awesome and thank you!

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 :)

[@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

[@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.

[@nVuFilms]

[@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.

[@Nypics]

Love the footage! I guess since the Arri Alexa is Super35 it seems that FF is not always needed!!! Did you use the Cine EI mode or just change the ISO as needed when filming? (Is the Cine EI really that much better??) I assume S-Log3 10 bit 4:2:2 throughout...

[@nVuFilms]

I used cine EI SLOG3 🙌👍🤙

[@ashay94]

[@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 🤷‍♂️

[@DapperArtImagery]

FOB impression got me🤣 reminds me of the old Nikon heads back in the DSLR days constantly telling me to get a D800 if I wanted to be a true professional

[@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
