Just got the R7. Loving it so far. So sharp and clean

Great comparison Josh, you covered pretty much everything. Been waiting for this one, thanks! Both cameras are quite impressive at their respective prices. I got myself the R7 since in France it is 700 euros cheaper than the FX30 (body only), so I could invest in other type of gear as you said. Also, I do photography from time to time, so it seems like the better option at this moment. I wanna thank you for your content, especially about both of these two cameras, made it much easier for me!

Hey, I am planning to do the same. It's the same for the entire Europe. All Sony cameras are significantly more expensive, which I think makes the R7 the king in that price range. Are you satisfied with the R7 and what lenses do you use?

@BevanWard Жыл бұрын
very nice. it seems like the R7 has better IBIS & much better photo capability. FX30 has better 60p and 120p and highlight roll off & rolling shutter. Other than that, very comparable, and both excellent cameras for the price. I think I'll stick with the R7 for the price, as I don't need the extra capabilities of the FX

What a quality and objective summary. Excellent comparison. For me the biggest take away is that buyers should consider what they already own in terms of a camera system which is a critical part of your discussion. If you are a long time Sony user, I would purchase Sony. If you are a long time Canon shooter, I would go Canon. Both of these companies are very competitive and are pushing the technology forward.

I'm a Canon user, but I always preferer the Sony collors and texture... and all the lenses options such as Sigma 24mm 1.4 (omg, one of the best and cheapest lenses ever)... but when think about paying all that maybe it's better to go fullframe. I don't like the idea of paying too much on a video-only and aps-c camera... and because of all this I can't decide on buying and R7, or FX30 or spending a kidney and buy a A7IV

If I get the R7, I'll listen to you and couple it with an adapter and the 18-35 Sigma. Actually, sometimes I think I should get the lens first. BTW, your channel really stands out by making these comparisons while actually helping people learn without getting too technical. It will be huge in the future, I am sure.

Hi Josh, thank you for the video. You say you get “so much more” in the fx3 with the price difference. Actually Except for the full frame and better low light performance I don’t think you get that much more, for a difference of 2400€ (here in france and without the Xlr adapter). What do you mean by “so much more”. I mean I get that full frame is nice but is it worth paying almost 2500 € ??! If I compare it to the c70 which is super35 it’s super cheap🎉 (yes you don’t have built in nds).
@Josh_Sattin Жыл бұрын
Full frame does cost more and people do like it. That being said, people also love S35 and most movies are shot on S35. You also get full frame up to 4K120, less rolling shutter and that super high ISO peformance. The FX3 price also includes the XLR handle. Is it worth it? That depends on what you need/want. Everyone is different.

@@Josh_Sattin I re-watched your video, but I'm still coming to the same conclusions. The FX 30 is not a camera for beginners. Even though it may not be ideal for run & gun situations or wedding videos, in a controlled environment, like filmmaking, music, videos, and documentaries, it may be a better choice than the FX3 because of the time code and focus breathing features. For less than the price of the FX3 I can purchase the quad channel dual XLR, audio handle, a ninja v to record 12 bit ProRes raw at 4.7K vs 4.2 on the FX3, a Metabones speedbooster, a focus pulling system and some 7Artisans cine lenses. I think the FX 30 will cannibalize the FX3 sales because you're getting almost the same camera for half the price. I camperson I would like to see is the c70 vs the FX30.

I thought you had a difficult time recommending the FX3 in another video over the FX30. In this video you say that the FX30 is an $1800 camera inferring that it's some how not as good and to keep your expectations realistic? The the $3900 FX3 camera is better because it's higher priced? The FX3 is an older camera and the FX30 is a newer camera. Maybe Sony will replace the FX3 cause it's extremely expensive for what you are getting vs the FX30. Cameras these days are so good that the differences are so negligible in terms of image quality.
