Sony FX30 | Start Filmmaking SERIOUSLY and AFFORDABLY with This

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Hey, thanks for watching!! I'm planning a couple more FX30 related videos. What do you wanna see??

[@isleeponcouches3304]

Would love to see a rigging and staging video. I assume FX3 cages and accessories work, but in the case of bigger productions like you mentioned (commercials, short films, etc): what do you personally feel needs to be supplemented or added beyond the standard "storage, audio and extra battery"? Especially when it comes to using focus pulling on manual lenses and monitoring with false colours. Also, tangential question: what's the functionality like when it comes to the weirder techniques used for artistic expression, like step-printing? Hope the questions makes sense. Solid video as always, dude!

[@dibyajyotideb]

Hey man, I've been looking at this camera for a very long time, but I am almost near to buying the A7IV... I just want to know if FX30 can take good photos, and if that mechanical shutter is a problem if i'm taking photos too? Or maybe another way to say it is, is the a7iv worth the extra bucks I will end up paying for it?

[@EduardoStefanello]

If possible I'd like to see a video about lenses for the FX30, I'm thinking of buying the sigma 18-50 2.8 with it, looks like a good kit for a beginner.

[@bakhytzhan5160]

would be nice to watch how does fx30 works with canon ef lenses through 0.71 speed booster

[@munishkumar82]

Picture capabilities and cheap DND best lenses for this

[@eriangelino7800]

I assure you, you will hear one day from Sony. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Thanks!!

[@gorillaboxfilms]

Was super worried about the crop caused by shooting at 120fps (which I shoot alot in) but you've eased my anxiety with recommending the 10-20mm lens. Thanks !

[@vu.binhan]

Thank you sir, im a newbie who has practiced making video for a year. Im going to upgrade my a6300 to this lovely fx30, im so excited

[@HANKBRAVO81]

Hey Kensei. I’ve been a subscriber since wow…2019?? The early days. You’ve worked so hard man. You have a style that stands out. Sony will call. Your coverage if this camera and your mantra on mindset have really helped. Waiting until the ZV-E1 is launched March 29th as I’ve been back and forth between the FX30 and A7IV for weeks now! To replace my A7iii. I want to focus on filmmaking and video for my business too. I still like photography (family & my business). So I want to capture good stills. But, video is the priority.

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Hi my old friend! Thank you for the huge support since then! I'm also looking forward to seeing ZV-E1. Hopefully I wanna make a video about it!!

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Great!! I wanna make it better and better!!

[@alieazzy1631]

So far I am loving the FX30 as owner of A7 IV, I spend about $900 to get the sigma trio instead of swapping lenses which is solved the problem and these sigma lenses are really good. Sony Also have lots of APS lenses such as the 15mm G and 11mm both are amazing lenses. Since Sony came out with FX30 I believe they will be updating the oldest APS lenses as well i.e 35 and 50 1.8. I am thinking of selling my A7IV cause I hardly take pictures.

[@Chetmanlee]

I have been doing lots of research myself, I am in the same situation - I have a sony a74 and sigma 24-70. Just spent a month traveling with it and it feels like a heavy setup (i also focus on video over photo)

[@alieazzy1631]

@@Chetmanlee people been complaining about APS but if you manage your shots right you can def: get away with the 1.4 sigmas in low light plus the 18-50 f2.8 is the best for travel.

[@Chetmanlee]

@@alieazzy1631 yee I also want to use the sirui anamorphic adapter and I think that ontop of the sigma will need popeye forearms 😅

[@alieazzy1631]

@@Chetmanlee it’s heavy, I have tried it once and it completely bested the purpose of having compact lens.

[@TonyRush21]

Very decent review. The auto focus on this camera literally BLEW my mind; I was like WOW!!! 😲😮😳. I mean I literally drew back from my monitor as if a punch was thrown at me. I've never seen autofocus like that. Sony is a master at their craft and getting better with the passing of time. I'm going to recommend this to a friend who is in the process of creating a SONY Arsenal.

[@musicpatron1693]

for cinema i want manual focus or animorphic for cinema ...it looks more artistic. it should depend on what you need it for...crystal clear image shouldn't be the threshhold

[@bondgabebond4907]

Hi Kensel ! very compliment for your video, I wanted to ask you a question, in your opinion for the FX30 is a Sony 16-55 f.2.8 or a Sony 18-105 f.4 power zoom better? Many thanks

[@teamscoobydoo]

Thanks for the detailed video! What would you do in my position? I'm already in the Sony ecosystem; I have the GM 24-70 2.8 and GM 70-200 2.8 for lenses. Should I buy the FX30 and invest in a versatile ASPC lense or use my FF lenses vs buying the FX3?

VND affects the color more or less, but I like filters from Freewell and kenko.

[@ft_sakkinen]

Hi! Stupid question ... In AF section i noticed shutter to be 1/500 and iso 800. If you are not using ND filter, you just crank shutter high enough to get zebras to sky and thats how you expose outdoors? Or what is your simple method for outdoor shoots? :)

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Using a high shutter speed or using the aperture like 8!

[@ft_sakkinen]

@@KenseiAkatsu thx!

[@diegogarcan]

Congratulations on your content! Let's see what you think... To record videos for KZbin in a studio, would there be any noticeable difference between the FX3/A7S3 and the FX30? Would you get better video quality or more "perfect" tones? Thank you!

[@jaybain4337]

Kensei, what do you think about anamorphic lenses/adapters and have you tried one with this particular camera? Any recommendation for anamorphic? Thanks!

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Hi Jay I've never tried it yet. But im thinking about a review of some anomorphic lenses soon!

[@RockWILK]

I went back and forth between this camera and the Panasonic S5 for quite a while, and I wound up buying the s5, and I'm really happy with it. Because auto focus is not really all that important to me, and actually the Panasonic autofocus is really much better than most people say. Especially just for talking head stuff, it's fine. But overall, for the price, I just thought the Panasonic S5 was a much better value, considering it came with a great lens. And together between the body and the lens, it was cheaper than the sony. But I know the Sony is a great camera, they always are, and I'm keeping my a6400, but this Panasonic S5 is a beast in so many ways. Thanks so much for another great video, to be continued. :-)

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Yeah Actually I hear many creators are saying nice things about that camera a lot! So someday I wanna try Panasonic camera!

[@RockWILK]

I noticed that your setup camera for talking in studio have funtionality just like the "Product showcase" funtion of Sony Zv line cameras. Cause when you hold your hand near to the camera, it is focus to your hand immediately instead of your eyes. How can I setup Sony camera just like that ? I am looking forward to hearing answer from you soon, thank you so much

Thanks for the sub!!! Well about that question, I actually did a little wrong about the AF this time. That quick transition was not something I intended. But in case you wanna do, just use max AF speed, and set the AF area at a center fix!!

[@AMomentInTimeProductions]

you did a great job on that video, i have this camera, got it 2 days after they released it, and love it i mainly do cinematography, so i use this mainly for video NOT for Shooting still pictures. But I found out that Adobe Is going to be able to Support the Sony Raw images soon in one of their next updates, you just have to be patient, it will happen, this is a fairly new system so it takes Adobe a little bit of time to support the new system. Capture One doesn't even support it yet, so it will happen.. As far as shooting Flexible ISO it's good as well and i have shot many videos at ISO 200 with this in SLOG 3 and it was very crisp and clean, i loved it and it was less noise at ISO 200 then the Cine EI 800, not a drastic amount but enough to notice the difference.. And don't worry about the Full Frame Crop On Full Frame Lenses, just get A Full frame lens that is wider that is all. you could get the Sony Fe 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master, , and you could get the APSC lens Sony E 11mm f/1.8 Lens, which is very sharp.

Great video and nice haircut! I have A7IV as my A cam, and A7C as my B cam/travel cam. I'm contemplating if I should sell the A7C for the FX30 as my B cam since I already have the A7IV, but I love my A7C too! The A7C is such a nice travel camera, but the features on the FX30 sounds great! I invested a lot into my GM lens collection, so I want to also be able to use my GM lenses to its full potential on my 2nd body as well

That's a tough decision. Especially when you think about the lens problem just like you also have. But what I can say is if I were you, I would sell A7C and get FX30.

[@dojomediaboss]

I traded my A7c for the fx30, and I have the a7iv, which takes all my photos. I liked the A7c, but love my fx30! I mainly wanted a second video camera, so depends on your needs.

Always native, always Sony 👍

[@nyambe]

Cine EI is just a exposure tool. It’s like false color, it lets you preview what it will look like in post. When you expose for 200 ISO and Cine EI 200 the only difference is that the camera makes the choices for you

[@FezProductionsYT]

You can only record in either 800 or 2500 ISO with Cine EI. So what do you mean by, "When you expose for 200 ISO and Cine EI 200 the only difference is that the camera makes the choices for you"

[@nyambe]

@@FezProductionsYT Yes, if you want details in dark areas, set camera to Exposure index 200 - 400. The camera will record ISO 800 but it will be over exposed. Later in post you can lower exposure and there will be no noise. If you want to you can activate proxy recording while using Cine EI and see for you self. The proxy will be exposed correctly. The main advantage of Cine EI is that you dont have to guess when overexposing. You know exactly how it will look in post. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoW6ZpRsrd6qpNU

[@kensutanza]

Even the focal length of the apsc lenses still has to be converted by 1.5 crop factor to get the ff equiv. This makes it a bit difficult to get a wider look as everything is 1.5 times cropped 😂

[@KenseiAkatsu]

That's true!!

[@matteocandotti3054]

Hi Beatiful video how you make this type of transition 21:22

[@KenseiAkatsu]

It's a flare video footage on an overlay effect

[@EduardoStefanello]

Just a question, about low light, shouldn't you have used the iso at 2500 instead of 2000 to have less noise? Since it activates the second base iso.

[@Minsetti]

ISO 2000 has less noise than 2500. I mean the noise reduction circuit can't do magic when the base ISO values are so close to each other.

[@jimyhustle]

thank you for the video. i wanna. upgrade my a7iii to this fx30 for the 10bit i wonder it makes a big difference grading in resolve. ? but i'm afraid it sucks at low light. i shoot at 6400iso a lot at night with my a7iii and it's fine i wonder if it's fine with the fx30? also ,do you have any low light slog3 samples ? thanks

In my opinion APSC is great although has its limitations but FF cameras have some limitations too like my A7IV 4k60 crop ok we got bigger sensor but we gotta realise that this camera for this price is an amazing value and there is not a perfect camera 'yet' out there lol.
