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!!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Wait so they made a cinema line camera without the ability to turn off noise reduction? And it doesn’t even match the FX6 color or codec wise? Lame, totally a missed opportunity
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!
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.
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.
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.
I really think they should have included DCI 4K with the FX3 to make it more distinguished from the A7SIII. That would not cannibalize the FX6 because that one has the variable ND filters and some other stuff......they can still include the DCI4K to the FX3 with a firmware. They really should. Not having the DCI 4K (but having the viewfinder) can be the special thing for the A7SIII. Besides my remark above ....as always the best review on the internet...thanks.
So basically it’s a crippled A7s3 with a fan that is actually not needed because the A7s3 does not overheat for most users. 1. No EVF which even though I don’t use it for vlogging but at least it’s there when I need it. 2. No shutter angle function which is basic for a pro cinema camera. 3. No built-in ND filters 4. It’s $400 more expensive than an A7s3 because of the plastic handle with a k3M but without the mic! I think the A7s3 is a better buy than this! The k3M is around $600 but it also comes with a mic! Getting a smallrig cage with a top handle and you have a better system although a bit larger in size not to mention that S-Cinetone is just around the corner fir the A7S3. Thank you very much for this video. Very informative and I appreciate how you pitch the whole sponsorship portion but still being a useful part of the video because I actually have to listen to it since it is still part of the review ☺️
lmbo at the ending. super funny but also good promotion cause now i need to watch his video to hear that finished thought. Genius. lol
3 роки тому+1
i bought the fx6 and the a7siii in hope that they would have matching colors but i was disappointed ... i hope sony fixes that with firmware because this would make buying the fx3/a7siii and fx6 combo the perfect A/B Cam setup ... and since cinematch works rather well i guess it must but only a software issue ... i imagine a new cine EI mode on all Sony cameras that is perfectly matched, for base iso only that should not be that hard but it would be such a help imo
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?
Nice to shout out to CineD.. Good review - though think Sony could have included a few more features on this body. LOL - you in did fact call Peter Lindgren .
Great vids, really appreciated. Do you know if Sony have given any thought to bringing out a variable ND adapter? I'm thinking something like a Metabones Speedbooster but containing the ND mechanism and switches/dial. Would be a real draw for people like me that have worked with ENG cameras for years. Keep up the great work!
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.
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
Please add a review of the remote control possibilities and compare to FX6. This camera looks like an ideal camera to put on a gimbal, mount on a car, etc. but then you need remote controls and nobody talks about it.
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!
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.
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.
Only 24-bit audio recording. Floating 32-bit audio would have been killer! Not sure if this is a big deal but I think it would have been well recieved.
Even for scratch audio or stereo audio with internal mics, I can’t wait for this. To always have onboard audio and never have it clipped or too low of a signal (noisy) would be amazing. The internal mics are so much better than they used to be. Plus I like that stereo submersion.
Gerald Undone for the tech geek out. The kid from 'up' for entertainment, and very decent reviews. Caleb for film making on a shoestring... and awesome in depth courses on camera gear.
FAMALAM - I haven't been able to find the answer to this ANYWHERE and you're my only hope - I recently installed LED strips in my studio as background lights, and for some reason ONLY on my Sony cameras I'm getting flickering from them. I did everything all the articles and videos said to eliminate it, I'm shooting at 24fps 1/50 and it's still there. It's not there on either the Canon or Blackmagic cameras I tried with the same settings. HALP PLS FREN
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'm a big fan of the new canon stuff and the zoom f6 for my personal use, but I've always used Sony cinema and camcorders in the field. This is going to be a consideration for my new field kit mainly because of the form factor. (Action documentary work) Too bad it's heavier than the a7s3.

Truth, I didn't even watch the Sony announcement video LOL
Oh, Caleb. I love you.

So true.
Is there even official announcement for FX3? I though this is it.
That's it everybody. I made it to a Gerald Undone intro. I've officially peaked and can go sell all my camera gear and retire now.

Boom- Went to UA-cam to watch FX3 details and Gerald notification pops up. Immediate watch 👊
Even Amazon describes the Sony FX3 as the Sony A7Siii in Sony FX3 product page description...
With the internal fan it's like an A7S3: Arizona Edition
“I’m Gerald Undone, and I watch my own videos at 200% playback speed. “
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!!!
here before the live event.. 5 seconds in and i've closed the live stream.
First of all its grey! 🤣
yeah very funny start I'm worried about the large wrench's in the back ground What size camera for those? Your Michell BNC ?
The best technical review that matters the most!
I love the way this guy reviews, hopefully the next time I'm gonna buy a new camera, gonna check his reviews first
I think Gerald Undone has made it. He is the only camera review you want to watch now.
"I'm Gerald Undone...and Zebras? I don't need no stinkin' Zebras"
I have one question, Why launch the A7S3 ? For only a viewfinder and still ? There aren’t many photographers using a 12Mp for photography
Been following Peter L for a while, that was a great way to plug his video and make me hop straight over and watch haha.
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 say it all the time. This channel, DP Review TV, and Philip Bloom are the ONLY camera reviews that matter!
I love how he does the mic test while saying the sponsorship so you have to watch the sponsorship to hear the mics
This is probably the only channel if one needs a 'real' review. One stop, and you know what to do. Thank you so much Gerald~! :)

They need to bring the noise reduction amount option from the fx6 down to the Fx3
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.
Great video mate, seemed like blackmagic took the steps with the 6k pro rather than what I thought Sony would’ve with the features they’ve added
I'm a big fan of the new canon stuff and the zoom f6 for my personal use, but I've always used Sony cinema and camcorders in the field. This is going to be a consideration for my new field kit mainly because of the form factor. (Action documentary work)
Too bad it's heavier than the a7s3.
