[@ngonzale3]

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

[@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

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.

[@nVuFilms]

My own lut. And yes I recommend EI

[@poloreacts27]

Amazing content creator and great info. The ad was hilarious

[@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 🤷‍♂️

[@dvil51]

this is by far the best fx30 review I've seen so far. I have been debating between a brand new Fx30 vs used a7iv. and this video provided a lot of great insight.

[@nVuFilms]

🤙🤙

[@LaLekASMR]

I really loved the commercial XD Also convinced me to get a FX30 if my channel get more succesful :D

[@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!

[@MattLong101]

Love this, it's a lot of people trashing this camera just to get some clicks instead of showing their work in real life situations like you did.They'd rather without learning the cam, shooting a squirrel in their backyard. There is no doubt this will be my next camera. SUBSCRIBED!!!

[@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!

[@nVuFilms]

Fx30 if budget tight . Always set up lights

[@ShafreelCosmos]

Fantastic video with awesome information and advice. Thank you. Also it’s cool to see you shoot in Baltimore as well.

[@miguelavila2151]

Finally! Someone with real FX30 footage. Real nice real nice! Definitely awar winning. You da bet!

[@nVuFilms]

🤣🤙🫡

[@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 🙌👍🤙

[@johndon7377]

Just for not gatekeeping info you got my sub and like. Thanks brotha.. was deciding if I should swap my fx30 for a fx3 but on the edge.

[@nVuFilms]

Honestly. If you are a pro and you got the money, the fx3 is better hands down and worth the $

[@Teh_Chosen_Juan]

great footage dawg. what ND are you using in the talking head?

[@toninoaldajani]

Thank you for tips , i just purchased a Sony Fx30 and would like lens recommendations. I understand there is no One lens does all; however, I would like to just purchase one for the time being that can do a lot of different things. I've heard the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 a few times. Thanks

[@adriansoworka9283]

My Main Camera for Weddings is the GH5 and it works! I recently bought the FX30, so I don't think low light is a problem with this camera.

[@nVuFilms]

Lol 🙌👍

[@MCCraftAdventure]

Do you keep your ISO on auto throughout the shoot, I am shooting in S-Log 2, and I find it risky to keep it on manual when moving from shade to sun, so I keep my mode on Shutter priority. I am currently using a Sony ZV-E10 but I am planning on upgrading to this Sony FX30 for wedding videos. The Sony ZV-E10 just doesn't cut it, It had a really poor look in quite a lot of scenarios, and the 4k is useless because of the rolling shutter. Thank you for the video

[@nVuFilms]

No slog 3 and cine-Ei. I go back and forth 800 and 2599

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

[@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.

[@RoshanChhatralia]

Great video man. I have a fx30 as a hobbist. What's an honest opinion using it for photography on a wedding? A friend has asked me for his siblings wedding. I think they have low expectations as on a low budget considering they've asked me.. so considering trying to help them capture a bit of video and photos if I can. I'm a bit concerned about the photo capability and lack of physical shutter but I don't really know the reality of what this means...

[@nVuFilms]

Too slow.

[@nVuFilms]

Maybe rent a a6700

[@RoshanChhatralia]

@@nVuFilms Thanks. Appreciate it. Too slow to switch between modes?

[@adonhd7]

im trying to get started with filming im looking at the fx30 and the 7aiv wich one would be better ?

[@nVuFilms]

Fx30

[@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!

Looking forward to the lens recommendation video for the FX30.

[@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.

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.

I think it's also worth pointing out, FWIW, that no more than a decade ago, and probably to this day, people are getting by using *camcorders* for event work. Camcorders, people. Any current mirrorless is a bonus in terms of quality. Run what ya brung, it will be fine.

[@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…
