- This is the story of the camera that changed my life.
In a complicated world of gear, people focusing on the most cinematic image, best high end camera for youtube and vlogging; let's go back to a simpler time, when all that mattered was the content. It was the best action cam of its generation, perfectly stable, wide lens, pocketable, slow motion etc. The Sony X3000 lives on in our hearts as we wait for the X4000. Too bad Sony has no idea how to make a good vlogging camera. They continue to "upgrade" other lineups for vlogging, forgetting the gem they once had.

after all these mentions of the x3000, I was too lazy to see what you were talking about and now I know I ALREADY HAVE ONE : SONY ACTION CAM. I also have the water-proof case for it AND the cam-corder case which gives it an articulating fold-out screen. YEP! I ended up using my phone a lot more than it even though it was better but mostly because I lost the action cam for a while, then found it. but I used it on my rc airplanes back before drones really came out (that I could afford). worked like a champ. the one thing I didn't like about it was the fish-eye lens
Hey Kasey, I want to ask you about white balance while vlogging outside with Fujifilm cameras, do you set Auto WB so that it adjust automatically or do you lock it using "Auto WB lock" ? Or do you use white balance presets like Sunny WB etc. ?
How come you NEVER mention the IdolCam anymore? You are still featured on their website.
I thought that was a decent blogging cam?
"omg peter mckinnon?? omg!"
mans has nothing on cinematic kasey. nothing.
That killed me, but so many ppl dont know who they are they just look famous or something so they try to ask who they are bc idk
When the dude said Peter McKinnon, you should have immediately said “yeah, bbwwhhhhhaatttt’s up.”
Bwhats’ up dude?
Oh my Gawd
Honestly if Sony came out with an X4000 I would buy it in a heartbeat. I've used the OSMO Pocket and the GoPro 8 but none of them were better than the X3000 to me. Some of my best videos were recorded on the X3000 including some of my Thailand Vlogs!
Nobody skips slow mo street crossing. Trust me. :D
I really does look effortless and the image is quite natural looking.
This is the completely Toneh free episode we needed ❤️
❤️
Always looking forward to your videos Toneh Mccannon!
8:25 Always knew this was just Peter McKinnon in disguise, trying to free himself.
this guy deserver a lot more subs, so basic and fresh humor ... cheers
I think you are right .. he has what it takes and should ditch the Alian faces and cartoon thumb nails .... because it is his character which is the appeal
I totally agree with you about the X3000 being better than the ZV-1 and the ZV-E10.
The X3000 simple to use and has got that remote gizmo, so you don't even have to reach to turn the camera.
Whereas by the time I've got all the settings right on the ZV-1, the battery has gone flat!
The notifications for your videos always make my day. Your content is so unique and always provides me with a giggle and a smile. Thanks for everything you do, and keep it up 🖤🖤
Glad you finally got another X3000. I got a solution for the menu system. Buy another X3000, one for regular motion, and one for slow motion. I don’t see Sony upgrading the X3000. It will hurt their sales of their regular cameras. Don’t get rid of this one.
Tip to keep the dust away. When putting the camera away in the bag or pocket, place it in a ziploc style bag, squeeze the air out and then seal the bag. Or if you have hardcore OCD, carry a straw to suck the air out of the ziploc before you seal the bag.
If static bothers you, then try the milty zerostat 3, I don’t know if vloggers use it, but widely used by music lovers to clean the dust/static from vinyl/records
LOVE the slo-mo street crossings! I NEVER skip over those. Trademark item right there!
That's what I'm talking about. If Sony will listen to this and create an upgraded x3000 it would outperform gopro's, osmo's and other smartphones that all give you unnatural colors and stabe. I'm impressed, the colors look natural to me even on cloudy day. Yes!!
I NEVER skip over the road crossing. It is ALWAYS funny!
I'm vlogging all over Mexico City right now with the Sony X3000. Released in Sept 2016 I bought it new in spring 2021, now over 5 yrs since release, discontinued, and seemingly not going to be replaced sadly. The picture is good enough (no GoPro cartoon colours), and the audio is WAY better than GoPro (actual stereo l/r audio) for better atmosphere. It will suck if/when I'm forced to replace it someday.
Love your videos man. I watched your camera conspiracy channel and my girlfriend watched vegetable Police. Now we watch both of them together. We have watched you cross the street how many times now and still enjoy it. Keep up the good work dude!
I look forward to these reviews. Thanks for all the great content.
I discovered CC/VP right when he moved to Thailand. What a treat, I too have fond memories of this camera.
Lol Peter McKinnon
I love my X3000 and use it for all my videos and just added a wired mic onto my G Grip yet to test it out... New subscriber ATB Chris.
Great to see you back in your habitat, pure no fuss vlogging
Very good video. Peabody only barked during slo-mo jaywalk. He was hoping you would make it and fell back to sleep when you hit the other curb. I feel as though I know you better and it causes me great concern. 😉 Thanks for your transparency. Seriously good infotainment. Enraptured wall to wall!
this camara it soo good i just bought another like a week ago for $350 i have now two and that come from a guy who has a go pro 9 and sony zv -1 also a6600 and a6400 and sony rx100 7 and last one the rxoii and youre totally right man sony keep skipping this camara upgrade if the upgrade this camara they should call it youre name kasey x4000 lol great video as usal man i watch all youre videos but i don’t comment a lot but for this camara you better believe it i will WELCOME BACK LIL GUY X3000 dont you dare return this camara
.
Really good cam, but price now is overkill...
Thanks for your vlog!
Why does x3000 exposes for the highlights all the time?! it looks dark most of the time. I guess the gopro uses HDR, thus looks better, but the audio on the x3000 is amaizing!
Another enjoyable video ha ha. What if I told you there is a camera out there that is smaller, lighter, waterproof and with a super wide linear POV. Also, stabilization that is incredible.
Insta 360 Go 2
I have the GP 9 and the X3000 and the GO 2 is superior in most scenarios. Love to see you do a video on it
The X3000 punches way above its weight. The image quality, sound, and color science are all much better than the phone and action camera competition. Stabilization is also great. The X3000 actually has better color science than the newer Sony cameras, unless you did a miraculous job editing in post. This is the camera you never should have stopped using. Don't you dare send it back. Welcome back X3000 🥰
Yes, and in 2023 that's what made me buy one of these. It literally costed me more than a gopro hero 12. But here's what got me: I've never seen such good color science in my life. And I've been spending the last 10 years learning video productions. I'm blown away by the accuracy of the white balance in this little 2016 gadget. It's truly an anomaly of a camera.
I’m so happy for you to be reunited with your love
I still have and use the previous model the X1000, it's 4k but no image stabilisation, that's on HD! Like you, can't wait for the X4000
I been using x3000 for Motorsport over several years. So easy to do mulit convention and start/stop same time. Recently I start to use it as my main vlog camera and are super happy how easy it is to use and good the stabilisation are. Just put put a video on how I built my vlog rig around this camera
I have no interest in vlogging or the equipment discussed, but watched the full video out of enjoyment of the enthusiasm of our host, Mr. Peter McKinnon.
That would be excellent if sony updated it.
After hearing you rave about it, I remember seeing ads for it being available new and, now I wish I had gotten one
could not agree more. I have been waiting for the sucessor of the X3000 for years! Incredible how well it holds its own against the current line up - it is still my main helmet camera and the GoPro Hero 7s are the B cameras AND I cannot belive the latest itereation of GoPros still freeze the video - never had this with ANY of my other cameras inlcuding the X3000
Run Peter, Run! 😂
I don’t skip over the slow mo street cross. Fav part of most videos. Also, you weren’t lying about the X3000 - the image quality, color, and stabe are great.
As a casual viewer with no brand axe to grind, this both looks and sounds just fine and I hope Sony sees this and takes up your recommendations because they seem sound to me :)
Nice, natural look from the x3000. I'm stuck with GP7 for action shots, but at least the colour science on it is acceptable compared to the newer ones.
I bought one because of you. I love it. Also great for Live Stream 📹🤳
"OMG, Peter McKinnon!" Too funny. It just occurred to me, are you sure you're Canadian? "This is bullshit Sony." New t-shirt, "I'm not an American, I just sound like one." ;-)
One walk down my street and you'd appreciate your quiet ass street so much, Peter.
Loved the image. Thanks for giving me a new desire. I'll stick to my GoPro 7 which I'll never love. I could love an X3000, though. But I need to buy other stuff before that. Great review as always. And by the way, I thought you were going to spit acid on that guy that called you Peter McK. How dare he?
Bald and Bankrupt built his YT empire with it.
Nice to see that you have returned to your root and not blinded by the way of toneh. But I have to agree, the X3000 is without a doubt, the best blogging camera Sony ever made. Now if Sony can give us X4000 with same stabilization, 4K 24,25, 30,60,120p 10 bit footage no need for log file (let's be honest, they won't add log profile at something cheap). Better internal audio (Sony definitely can do that). USB C charging.
Love your videos I think your UA-cam channel is so underrated. i want to hear ur thoughts about film photography i see lots of people switching from digital to film .
That was just great to watch. 👍🏆
Bald and Bankrupt I think uses the X3000 and his smartphone, millions of views and millions of subs.
Man the X3000 sure is a little champ, what a great small cam :D looks fun to use and the audio is surprisingly good even if the wind muff on it just looks like it has its own little stache 🤣 it's cute though. I agree with what you say in the video, i was filming my coffee stuff with my GX850 but the autofocus was all over the place and the microphone was borked (static noise and shit) so i had to use an external microphone with my phone and the microphone was on its other tripod next to the main one with the smartphone just resting on it ready to fall and just fuck everything up. Of course had to sync up audio and video too in post and man was it such a pain in the butt.
Got the ZV-1 after all the vids i bingewatched before buying it and couldn't be happier to make little vids and going outside just filming stuff again :D Thanks for all your vids man.
03:45 Its not a gun shot. Its a sound from the pink Furniture Factory behind you. Gun Shot is not normal in Kuala Lumpur ...
Content and story are always more important than Toneh. I dream of a new X4000 wth GPS stabilization and a few other updates you described, Sony make ours dreams come true.
Great video, Peter!
We love ours and live in fear we may need to replace it! Audio works well with a small wind muff, and colors look good (both so much better than our GoPro 8). Stabilization very good, though do think gopro better. Almost never over heats (it does if using in 4 k for 30 minutes on the the dash of a car in the sun). If they added a 1 inch sensor it would likely be the only video camera (really this is a mini camcorder) it would be so close to perfect.
I don’t have one, but I watch a livestreamer who uses this camera. It has one of the most aesthetically pleasing images I’ve ever seen.
Return of the king
Decent quality for something that came out when some film camera were still in use
Still use it on our ride vids!
Oh my God Zach Galifianakis? Oh my God
The GoPro sickly yellow cast is still strong I see..
I've never skipped a slow MO. Who are these heathens?
Same here - never - i always let the slo-mos into my heart.
Never.
Great vlog, Peter McKennan!
X3000 lover here as well. Still incredibly competetive camera in 2023 lol
good job. Greetings from Poland !
I'd rather use a 360 camera than an action cam. The 360 cam work just fine as a vlogging/action cam but it can also do all sort of ''tricks'' that the regular action cam can't.
I wonder if Sony is even aware of how popular their camera is and that people want a successor.
That looked like Chiang Mai where you were crossing the busy road. I have lived in CM for the past 4.5 years and at the moment there is no problem crossing any road, it is like a ghost town. Chinese tourists have been replaced with Chinese flu.
Yeah! That's what i also use for vlogging.. but I'm just using the 1080p 30fps mp4.. for low space consumption..
I'd say Sony keeps ignoring these product lines cos they're too busy chasing specs and numbers over usability. Unfortunately, that's what sells I think.
People need to vote with their money. Companies will learn the hard way.
I don't think I will ever sell my GoPro Hero 5 Session (the tiny cube one) it's never let me down, the Hero 7 has messed up audio though. I've seen a brand new one on ebay asking $1,500 US!!!
I was hoping to replace it with a Sony RX0 but your'e right too many flaws, not wide enough, no in body stabe.
I love the Sony FDRX3000, its still better than the gopro and the phone. Love your videos pal, your right, its all about the content and the fun. Question - are you holding the Sony in your hand or on an extension ? Im guessing in your hand and still it has a wider field of view.
Hand.
Keep calling it Vlogging, it winds up Jared 😂🤣😂🤣
The mullet-mohawk is growing in nicely
On my x3k, I use a rode micro w/ volbox dialed back to ~65-75% and works rather well... oh, swap the coiled cable that comes with the micro to straight cables.
Sony could put 2 of this thing together, and give it the new menu system and some new processing chip, let the computing AI do the Toneh work in real time video. I wouldn't mind double the thickness with bigger battery, dual lenses will help stabilisation as well. Kind of insta360 camera without 360degree shooting, maybe 180 is enough.
Those little camcorders are good for that kind of stuff. I have a Canon Vixia HF 800 and I use it for most of the videos I have made. And the color of the X3000 is much better than the big cameras, either that or you forgot your green eye shadow today.
8:26 fucking legend 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, I never knew you was peter mckinnon. AMAZING!
Omg, Peter McKinnon?!
yep an upgrade of this camera would be nice ! I'm waiting since it's available lol :p 4K 120p minimum and Full HD 1000p, front facing screen of course like the DJI osmo action but sony and don't forget the 16bit raw external capability Thank's :D
I think camcorders in general are under appreciated for video.
do you plan on reviewing/testing the Sony Xperia 1iii or xperia 5iii when it releases? I got the galaxy s21 recently, and im actually extremely surprised and pleased by the video and image quality but im stoked to grab the xperia when it releases as a B camera. love my zv1 though, I know you aren't crazy about it haha
The Sony audio sounds like a really nice field recorder. The sound is so good.
The Sony image looks so much nicer, the colors are way more natural than the GoPro, which has this really warm look to it.
The slow motion is really NICE, too.
that really is good! i think im going to buy one. i saw one like 50€
I know the saying "looking world trough rose colored glasses" but i kinda want to know what glasses that peter mckinnon dude was wearing 😂
OMG - Peter ... ??? LOL - laughed so hard
YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY DO MORE OF THOSE STUNTS WITH STRANGERS identifying you as a famous youtuber! Got something going there...
LMFAO "oh my god Peter McKinnon?!"
They need a ZV1 in X3000 body. Without zoom, only wide angle, same resolutions and frame rates, digital stabilization and software stabilization with gyroscope like ZV1, same mic input, etc. Would be a perfect action / vlog camera
I'm liking it and considering purchasing...there is a lot of barrel distortion though. Still....considering it.
You inspired me bro! I just did my first Vlog!
You are totally right... trying diferent things, but for my vlogs .. x3000 still the best! Fuck yeah!
Seen some guy use the Sony action cameras with some yellow foam as a wind muff, and seem to work very good even when riding on motor bikes
also have you been heavy on the low bitrates lately? 1080p looks a bit blocky
A dream come true , Zach Galifianakis meet Peter McKinnon !!
Love my FDRX3000, just hope sony will upgrade it !
"OH MY GOD! Peter McKinnon?"
"Yeah"
"MY GOD"
😂🤣
im still going to buy x3000. i have a7c, a5100, gopro 7. i been watching all your old videos and i think all i need is x3000. can you make more videos with x3000? i like those!
My hero 9 pisses me off more than any other object I've ever owned.
X3000 is sonys mistake, they accidentally released almost perfect camera for vloggers, so releasing next upgraded model would be the perfect camera. Thats not good for the business
welcome to Kuala Lumpur.
I like your runs across the street... who doesn't ?
