FX30 A7IV and ZV-E10 is my dream trio

[@MCplayer94]

Still dont know why no one has compared the fx30 to an a6300 or a6400 or a6500 or a6600 since those are the ones that for sure are gonna upgrade like me...

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The fx30 is a very different camera than those. it can only take one photo at a time with no mechanical shutter. it is a video camera with cinema specs. The ZV-E10, which I compare to the fx30, has the same sensor and processor as the a6400 and a6600 so if you’re looking for video comparisons, look to those videos. I’m sure they will update the A6600 soon

[@economicswithivan9737]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis more zve10 comparisons would be appreciated. Love your videos.

[@petersvan7880]

Great video. To me, the A7-4 is the overall winner. Best sharpness, best low light performance and about equal rolling shutter. The choice is easy :)

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes, overall the A7iv is a better camera for me, but there are people who prefer having the 4K 120 and the cinema features raw output and time code longer record times. I can absolutely see why someone would choose either!!

[@finnharvor6773]

Peter and Mark: good points. I own an a7iv, and it’s a remarkable machine. Also own an a6400 and zv e10. Thought momentarily of replacing at least one, but realized that because portability very important to me want to keep the smaller bodies. More: an a7iv weighs the same as an fx 30 (though lenses also a factor); but since the former better at stills, it remains a great choice for me personally.

[@mortystation]

Is it? For me is pretty clear when I introduce lenses into the equation, which in most cases have waaaaay more impact in the quality of your image. I can get a set of apsc cinema-class lenses for half the price... even more; and the options are more abundant for super-35 too. Let's not even talk about high quality zom glases. Noise? Who cranks the ISO over 2500 for profesional uses? I can Barely see the difference in this test. And last... Do you shoot interviews, outdoors or do your shooting days last for an entire day? well, a working camera is allways better than a warm non-functional camera, no mattter how good is at 8000 ISO. Choice is never easy, is always subjective and relative.🙃

[@sneakergearz]

Awesome video. Funny enough, I’m not sure which KZbinr said it but it does appear the A7IV is the best APSC camera you can get😂😂😂? Obviously it’s full frame but between the sharper 1080, the 4k60, the vastly improved rolling shutter, and flexibility to still shoot of course in full frame, it’s awesome. For $700 less, the FX30 still brought with it most of the A7IV plus some extra goodies. Great comparison and really appreciate the work you put in.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks!! I think that was Jason Morris - and he has a point 😀

[@LaurieHallLJH]

I agree. I think of it as a high-end APSC video camera that comes with a free full-frame photo camera built in :-)

[@sneakergearz]

@@LaurieHallLJH I love mine but I would add that specifically in 4k/24, which I shoot the most of. It literally is the sharpest if not top 3 on the market. So it really is a jack of all trades. Other cameras can do different specific things better but as a whole. It’s amazing.

[@MSWracing]

Now if they'd make an actual APSC with nearly the same specs as the 7IV. For the money the FX30 seems pretty great... but not so great if you want to also shoot stills.

[@LaurieHallLJH]

@@MSWracing I’m pretty sure that soon we’ll have a Sony APSC photo-oriented partner to the FX30. Following the same idea as the FX3 / A7S3 duo - basically the same camera on the inside, but different use cases.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

I'm glad you did the 1080 test. A lot of cameras don't do so well and judging from your results looks to the case with both of these too. Most of my work my client has no need for 4k, its being delivered over the web so I'd prefer the higher bitrate lower resolution and file size. In addition for multi camera work It's quicker and easier editing exporting 1080 and takes up less hard drive space too. I gather the advantage the fx30 has is lower price tag, smaller form factor, an less expensive apc lenses, while the a7IV is FF and better suited to be hybrid for video and photography withe the viewfinder.

[@Samskihero]

A simplified way to compact this information, The A7IV shoots slightly better images overall due to its slightly better noise performance, you can basically enjoy the same image you would get from an FX30 all the way up to 60fps in APS-C mode in the A7IV, but also benefit from the full-frame sensor for normal content at 24/25fps at the cost of rolling shutter, however, the FX30 does shoot sharper 100/120fps as it can be put in 4k however that's a 1.5x crop onto another 1.5x crop, so for some, it's not that useful, and they seem very similar sharpness wise when shooting 1080p at 100/120fps. Best Approach for my own reference later 4k - Full-Frame at 24/25fps (Looks slightly sharper than the FX30, and benefits from the full-frame sensor at the cost of more rolling shutter) 4k - APS-C at 24/25/50/60fps (Looks the same as the FX30, you can basically enjoy the same image you would get from an FX30 all the way up to 60fps) 1080p - APS-C at 24/25/50/60fps - (Is actually sharper than the FX30 at 1080p) (!) A7IV - Don't use Full-Frame when Shooting 1080p - use APS-C it's sharper. 1080p - Full-Frame - 100/120fps - (Looks very similar but the FX30, BUT the FX30 can go 4k 100/120fps which looks much nicer but also needs to crop onto its already crop sensor) (!) A7IV - Don't use APS-C when shooting 100/120fps use Full-Frame it's sharper.

[@GhettoStyles]

I’m surprised. I like the FX-30 in the dark. I felt like the image was darker but it also looked cleaner to me.

[@potatophil8432]

Great video! Finally, some questions answered that barely any other reviewer touches. Question: starting the crop comparison in 24p at 2:45 , did you switch immediately to the sigma 16mm on the A7iv or is that the 24mm FE and framed similarly? (I assume all crop tests were the Sigma 16mm on A7iv and FX30, just wanna make sure) :)

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

All the shots in the entire video were the 24mm GM except one - the 4k 120 fx30 was the only shot the sigma entered. I just moved the cameras back and forth for framing

[@JSyntax]

Also can you please let me know if eye focus is disabled while monitoring using the sony imaging PC or smartphone app on the FX 30? Also on the fx30 when you use slow mo 4k60, does it disable Active stabilizationand, focus tracking, and eye autofocus?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Happy to report all your questions are positive. You keep eye autofocus in all modes, 24, 30, 60, 120. You keep eye autofocus in all modes when connected to the app or when using PC Remote. When using 4k60, you can still use active stabilization and you keep focus tracking and eye autofocus

[@gordon3988]

Ok, had a chance to take Gravol before the rolling shutter tests….and needed it! Both cameras did well everywhere else, with the A7IV obviously showing its FF muscles in extremely low light. It is an amazing all rounder! Still, I found I usually/slightly preferred the FX 30 in most shots. Likely just a personal preference. Another great video!

[@dusty_burkhalter]

Man I’m so torn. Currently have the A7IV but can still return it. I’m using it 90% for sports highlight videos. The one thing I’m missing is 4:2:2 10 bit color in 120 fps and the FX30 has it. If you could only have one camera, which would you choose?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

for me I would choose the A7iv because I also do photos. but if you need 4K 120, I think you have your answer. and the fx30 is an absolute joy to use as a video camera.

[@dusty_burkhalter]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yeah the more I think about it, I go in phases where I shoot a lot of photos so the A7IV is probably the better option. 4k60 works well for football, there are just those times where 120 fps would allow me to slow the motion even more. It's mostly speed ramps so not a big deal. I think I would miss having the photography side of the A7IV. Maybe Sony could push a firmware update to add 4:2:2 10 bit to 1080 120 FPS. It makes no sense that it is available in S&Q mode but not in video.

[@AmitKumar-oq6qu]

Now here is some comparison video🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Appreciate it!!

[@markwiemels]

I was surprised, in my viewing, how much more detail the IV has in 4k. In fairness, the IV is one of the best "locked off" 4k cameras you can get. Gerald Undone has an A7SIII and but uses the IV for his main shot, because it provides more detailed footage. I'm leaning towards the IV, but I suspect the FX30 would be a nicer camera to to use, with better build and ergonomics for video, plus the audio handle.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The A7IV is my pick for my main camera. The FX30 will give me 4k 120, second angle and no possibility of overheating if I'm in that situation. But If I'm only keeping one - I'm keeping the A7iv

The more tests I see of the FX30, the happier I am. Put up against a full frame camera like the A7iv, the FX30 holds its own pretty well I'd say. I'm not big on slow motion, but the fact that you can shoot 4K 120 on the FX30 and its sharper than the full frame A7iv speaks volumes on the power of the FX30. Basically, the FX30 is more of a "cinema" camera than the A7iv, which is why I bought it. Very handsome comparison by the way. And the cameras were pretty good, too.

Great video, the low light test was really helpful for me. One concern I have for the A74 is the over heating issues.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

In 60 it will be even better because you'll be raising your shutter speed to 120 and a higher shutter speed will reduce rolling shutter.

[@gamedesign1]

​@Mark Bennett's Camera Crisis I hadn't really thought of that. Thanks for your reply :)

[@gamedesign1]

Rolling shutter is a big issue for me as I do cg visual effects and need to be able to accurately track the footage. I mostly get away with it with my GH5s, but need some stabilisation and autofocus on my next camera. I don’t have a lot of money and selling my GH5s and sigma 18-35 is not gonna make me a lot if I wanted to completely replace my kit for an A7siii and new lens. So I was maybe thinking of getting the OM-1, but so far I have not seen any rolling shutter tests on it. What are your thoughts on that camera for what I’m talking about? I need dynamic range that is the same as the GH5s in VLogL if not better and 10bit internal recording. So I think the OM-1 could be good for that.

[@stormsandfishing5448]

@@gamedesign1 the OM-1 has rolling shutter of 5-7ms in 4K depending on 8 or 10 bit.

FX30 looks a tad oversharpened than the A7iv. Looks very much like a smartphone image. On a budget, FX30 is great. If one can stretch the budget, the A7iv is a more organic image in APS-C mode. That said, there's always vintage glass to soften things up.

At the end I showed the 16 on the FX30 against the 24 on the A7IV for people who were curious. If you don't use the same lens - then differences can be attributed to the lenses. Please pay more attention before you criticize a video. What 'results" did I blame any camera? Do you think a Sony APS-C will be better in lowlight and IQ than a Sony full frame? Because that will not be the case. I bought both of these cameras. If you don't like the differences between them - I can't help you. I encourage you to buy the cameras, buy the lenses you want, put up your video and you will discover the exact same results that I did. You think the the performance of APS-C lens like the 15 on an APS-C body will be better than a G-Master lens that happens to be full-frame? If you think that - I am sure you did not do the tests.

Perhaps it is a misunderstanding - You are overstating the differences of using a full frame lens on an APS-C body. A great full frame lens will still produce better results than a lesser quality APS-C lens on an APS-C body. There are minor advantages (mostly imperceptible) to IQ using APS-C lens on and APS-C body. Check it out for yourself - you will not find any APS-C lens producing better results on an APS-C body than a GM lens. This may be a slight advantage for full frame - but there is nothing to be done about it. It's why I showed at the end the Sigma 16 vs the 24GM - the sigma 16 is optically the best APS-C lens you can put on.

Apparently A6400 4K is quite a bit sharper than FX30. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ6YiWxohN-EgKc

I’ll do some tests

[@gatopardo9960]

A7IV IS BETTER

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Overall yes. The fx30 has its own strengths though that are crucial for some people
