Love the sense of community and friendship amongst UA-camrs that I’ve been noticing more lately - guest appearances and plugging each other’s videos and such. Think that’s great.
Couldn't agree more with your assessment of it's value. You're really paying for the k3m and if you like the design of the body... and you shoot mostly video so you don't need the viewfinder. Some people will appreciate the few differentiators it has but I don't regret my a7siii purchase - phew haha. Great vid as always Gerald!
Was hoping it ATLEAST had more dynamic range. Makes me happier to have my A7Siii. I always watch your reviews first Gerald, thank you for the honesty!!!
DISCLAIMER: I misunderstood the information on the website, the following part is, as Gerald states in the comments, incorrect. For the sake of completion, I will not delete it tho. So, 90 seconds into the video and I'm not to sure this is coming later in this video so I might just comment in advance: It is not exactly the same as the A7S3, since the FX3 records 4K 120p ONLY in S&Q. Normal mode is capped at 60p max, if I'm correct this is the same case for the FX6.
@@geraldundone Ah, yeah. Just looked again at the website, the reason why I misunderstood the information there, is because in the specsheet for the A7S3, 120p is the first that shows up in the list, for the FX3 it's pretty much the last to show up. So, of course I was wrong to doubt your information :x EDIT: nevermind the next part, I remembered wrong again. jeez. Since I got your attention here, did you notice any colorshift issues with S-Cinetone like in the FX6? I'm sure there was something in this regard
Hi Gerald: May I ask if you intend to produce a video on Firmware 2.0 for the FX3? Either way, thank you for all that you do. Your content has been critical to my learning and growth in videography.
One thing that could differentiate the FX3 from the a7S III is the noise reduction, because the cinema line is noticeably superior in that regard. If the FX3 doesn't have the cinema NR at launch, maybe it could get it via firmware update and then that would be a valid reason to pick it, instead of the a7S III (assuming it doesn't get the same update) for video work.
Came across your channel a few weeks ago. I really appreciate how clear and honest your reviews are without the brash salseman-ship found on some other channels.
I like the more video-centric nature of the FX3 vs A7S III. To me the five mounting points are gold, and the handle/XLR is appreciated. I just wish Sony would learn the value of shutter angle and anamorphic support. As a result this camera can only ever be a B-cam, but for those times when low light performance, 4K/120, and better AF are required, it earns its place in my studio.
@@junefiasco I currently use several cameras including the Sony A7S II, A7R II, ZV1, ZV-E10, JVC LS300, Panasonic DVX200, GH5 M2, GH5S, G9 and GoPro as main cameras, depending on the job requirements. They each have pros and cons, but after the big announcement of the last 24 hours, I suspect the Panasonic G9 II is likely to become my main camera, although it will take using it before I can be certain. I keep getting sucked in to using Sony cameras, but Panasonic stabilization, anamorphic support, shutter angle, menus, and ergonomics, as well as the smaller MFT lenses always pull me back. The rock solid AF of the new camera means I may have finally found my perfect camera. I won't get rid of my Sony cameras, but I find myself using them less and less over time.
Would you recommend Sony A7S III or FX3 for a solo documentary filmmaker? Was waiting for the FX3 announcement before I made a decision, but seems like A7S III is still the better option.
That ending was great.......your thoughts are exactly what I was thinking......No EVF and more expensive. If you plan to get the K3M then it will save you some cash ($178 for EDU discount people), but even then you don't get the mic and if you ever sell the camera to upgrade you can't keep the audio piece anyway so might as well just buy them separately so you don't have to worry about buying one again in the future.....but I could see both sides. All in All.....awesome review as always dude.
Im back to your channel after taking a break from photo/video. Wow just wow the production value my friend it is really something. Your content always has been the best on the subject imo but now its clear youve mastered your craft and it shows. Sony even sends you gear now? From 10k to 250k subscribers? Congrats my friend, glad to see hard work paying off!
Can you do an update to this video addressing this new issues with FX3 having a 'new' base ISO of 800 with firmware update instead of 640. Seems strange to change with firmware, when it's the same sensor as the a7siii
Does it give an option to use waveforms? That's always one of my biggest gripes about using mirrorless or DSLR cameras. You'd think something being marked in a "cinema" line would have that, but based on your review it doesn't seem like that is an option without an external monitor.
I really don't understand, why they won't give us waveforms or even better false color on the a7s III or at least on the fx3. i mean its positioned in their cinema line.. what do you think, Gerald?
An update on S-Cinetone for FX3 & a7sIII would be much appreciated. But for now just one question: Is the native ISO for S-Cinetone on FX3 & a7sIII 320?
Let's hope FX3 will get an Firmware update 2.0 with A7IV features, like A7SIII got an FX3 (S-Cinetone) update as 2.0. It'll make FX3 a step above A7SIII.
Hey Gerald! Sooo, didn't see this in the comments, and I would understand why you wouldn't bother addressing this in the video . . . but if you already own an FX6, and need a second camera for 2-camera interviews and such, would you see an advantage in springing for a second FX6 (over an FX3) -- or would you just opt for an FX3 and K3M audio adapter, saving you a few bucks? (timecode is irrelevant to me, FYI)
Love the cliff hanger for Lindgrens video 😀 For the record, I don't believe Sony will be updating the A7s III with cinetone because, and I bet more than anything this will hold true, cinetone is a FX feature reserved only for cameras in its lineup. That's right- pony up the few extra bucks if you want Cinetone!
Dropping a line to let you know your audio comes off super hot on our speakers. Not a problem for other channels. Seems better on a phone or laptop, but it's hard to listen to from speakers we use to review productions and more.
Cant switch Analog // Digital on the audio unit on the FX3 ? Would that mean that footage coming from the FX3 (when using the XLR ports) is 24 bits audio, thus impossible to play on VLC and non recently updated NLE's ?
Absolutely brilliant camera for professional video work. Powerful and reliable. The XLR inputs and the active cooling system are a major update. Impressive package in such a compact cinema camera. Sony really nailed it, well done.
Hey Gerald!!! How are you? I just got an Fx3 and I am pretty concerned about all the Moire I can see on the footage. I don't know if this is a particular issue with my unit or if this is the normal behavior of this sensor. Could you help me, please? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
hey gerald! so i just got my Sony fx3 and tested the battery life for some reason my a7iii performs better battery wise than the fx3 recording straight for 10 minutes, the fx3 lost 10 percent but my a7iii after 10 minutes, lost 6 percent I even recorded them both in XAVC S mode is yours the same?
It says it's only using effectively 10.1mpg out of the 1 2mpg. Does that cause any problems in the quality? I keep going back and forth on which to get A7s iii or FX3 they really made this more confusing with this release.
Since StoryBlocks is a sponsor, maybe you could do a review of them. I looked at them several years ago but didn't join because the subscription did not include all videos. Is that still true. On the Sony FX3 having power zoom, what experience have you had using the power zoom? That should be interesting.
Can you test the ISO low light performance with the fan vs A7SIII. Although it's all the same, the fan might help reduce heat and hence have lower noise.
I think you made a very good point, the FX3 needs shutter angle and DCI 4K at 24p to be an FX camera. Part of me also wished that it would have sported a 6k sensor like the FX9, or even the A1's 8k sensor, would be perfect for mounting on Sony's upcoming drone. Nice video like always and excellent ending!
@@ahmedreads1794 The fact that they added a fan and can shoot much longer than the SIII. So for those who do interviews or long form recording, then can take advantage of the high codecs with long shooting times. It also doesn't need a cage to attach certain add-ons, which keeps the overall setup much lighter. So this are all options, if you don't need this, get the SIII, but if you do, here is an option without having to pay for the much more expensive FX6 or FX9.
@@TOKSVISIONZ not that anything you listed is not useful but IMO doesn’t warrant a new series of cameras. If we had a different series for every minor update it’d be ridiculous.
@@ahmedreads1794 I'm lost, so are you saying they shouldn't have made the camera because those improvements or additions don't mean anything to you. Sounds like a selfish point of view. My question to you is how does this release impact you negatively. It's either for you or it isn't. Someone else finds it useful. Every camera isn't built for you. They all have their usefulness to someone else. I actually love the idea. I don't mind 10 different cameras for 10 different type of shooters, than 1 or 2 for all. Especially if i have to spend a ton of money for a few features that i need. This is a FX3, the lowest of the Cine line, you can't expect much from the lowest. Why then spend $10K plus for a FX9?
Gerald, all your videos are amazing, thanks. Are you going to review the NIKON Z9 since Nikon is advertising it as their top of the line flagship video camera? Thanks!
Awesome video Gerald, just kind of curious though because you said it doesn't have face-only AF like the FX6, but does it have the exact same AF as the A7siii? Just wanted to make sure. Love the new studio btw
You did say you were hoping for more 'video centric' aspects, but what I was really hoping for were waveforms, false color, anamorphic squeeze, LUT import etc. I'm sure they aren't hard to implement. I mean how could they be, they are part of the software, not hardware. You already have a built in LUT for Slog that changes how the image is displayed even though it's recorded the same. You also have that Display button that switches between the leveler, camera info, clean display and histogram (the dreaded histogram). Why not have an option in the menu for "Use Waveform instead of Histogram - Yes/No" (maybe even size options or opacity) or a False Color LUT basically. You have the option for screen markers for cinema crop lines, why not Anamorphic. So many things could be done software-wise. Also, very interesting that they "include" the module in the box (as B&H says in their description). But I'm very curious about people that already have the other module, or another preferred audio setup that they don't want to give up. What then? Is Sony not going to give us a box with just the camera? That would be weird. It's like only having the option of buying new cameras with the Kit Lens included, no "body only" option.
Nice review. I'm hearing some early reports that the way the FX3 handles detail is actually different from how A7sIII does. The image seems to be less sharpened / more pleasing than A7sIII when at the same -7 Detail setting. Have you pixel peaked into that? Thanks!

Great review! Camera FIRE! I wanted to ask if everything is sold with XLR together?
I want this red rec rectangle in displey during recorning in a7slll. It is always a problem to see if I am really recording from a greater distance.
Is there a weight difference? Did they slim the A7SIII down to work better with their new drone?
I say it all the time. This channel, DP Review TV, and Philip Bloom are the ONLY camera reviews that matter!
Thanks, but does it have the auto-focus limitation of the FX6? Does its continuous object AF mode equal the A7S3's?

Hello, what do you mean by "no true 24p"?
