I like viewfinders personally so I would choose the siii but there's so much choice with sony it's confusing - i was watching a review for a7rv and it seems like even better for hybrid use compare with a7iv.
My colleague picked up an A7IV recently with a top handle and I was blown away at how good it was. I agree the fx3 is amazing but not worth it for regular social media type of content.
That was just awesome, Aaron. Thanks for your helpful insights with the FX3. Even though these cameras are way out of my real of budget or need, it's still interesting to hear about them as a an enthusiast.
The fx3 for me is amalgamation of the best a video camera can be, that can do everything, but a price that is still reachable and not unrealistic for most people.
I get what you are saying but it's like saying a sports car is an awesome car for racing but I don't recommend it for regular drivers. The fx3 is designed for high end video work for people with the budget to spend on it so of course youtube vloggers and casual content creators shouldn't buy it. But the fx3 is amazing at what it was designed for (which you rightfully say in your conclusion).
Brilliant review Aaron. I would love to upgrade to a camera like an fx3/fx6 someday but as I'm still learning and only really making simple videos for work and taking travel and personal photos, the a7iv seems like enough camera for me at least a few more years, but it just goes to show how sony seems to have a camera for nearly every use case!
As a Sony shooter trying to extend my capabilities into video I latterly came to use an a7iv. But wanted a second video camera and after much research and reflection bought a FX3. Now I just need to get out, practice and learn how to get more from it's capabilities. I know enough to realise that good video is a lot more than decent cameras and lenses. I still have much to learn but don't feel my FX3 will be the limiting factor.
That's great to hear. And absolutely agree, I feel like there's so much I need to improve and learn before ever hitting any kind of limitations with the current crop of cameras we have available to us.
Do you think it's better to shoot in slog3 vs s-cinetone, like especially if you're just gonna end up color grading slog3 to look like s-cinetone in the first place?
Personally slog3 is going to give you more dynamic range and more flexibility in post but we use s-cinetone a lot for videos that need a fast turn around. S cinetone is also easier for us when we have less control of lighting.
Its a shame sony won't update the firmware for the sony A7siii, to allow uploading custom LUTS.. The as7iii I have to use a monitor attached to my gimbal for real estate videos, which is such a pain... The Gamma display assist is not great on the a7siii
@@RudyVisuals focus breathing compensation and 4kdci.... but I would argue that having the ability to add personal luts is 10x more functional then 4kdci on a camera like the a7siii.. You buy a camera like this to shot log in most cases ... I don't get why they didn't make the updates equal to the FX3
I got an iphone 15 recently and it shoots video so well and a fraction of the price of cameras like this. With AI editing and phone cameras, videographers/video editors might go extinct in the future!
Unless iphones somehow develop much bigger sensors, and the person holding it is willing to go to film school and spend 1000s of hours learning to shoot and edit, I'm pretty sure we'll be okay from extinction :)
Do you think the FX3 is worth it over an A7SIII or FX6? Let us know! 👇👇
The fx3 is a beast!
fx3 is the perfect middle ground between siii and fx6.
I watch some comparison videos with fx6 and fx3 for me is still the better choice when you factor in price to performance.

Great video samples and images.Always a fan of your no-nonsense camera reviews 👍
Thank you, appreciate the kind words!
Still a great camera. Awesome detail review my friends. The footage and photos looks very good. 📷📷
Thanks so much!
Love it guys! The wedding footage is so nice ❤
Thanks so much! 😊

The A7IV is definitely awesome. I think it's just different tools for different people ultimately.
Fellow A7IV shooter. It's awesome!
@@sarag4187 better for hybrid use yes but I think for video shooting the fx3 is superior
curious in what way does that cam differ from the fx3
That was just awesome, Aaron. Thanks for your helpful insights with the FX3. Even though these cameras are way out of my real of budget or need, it's still interesting to hear about them as a an enthusiast.
Glad to help!

Absolutely brilliant camera for professional video work.

Honestly your a7iv will probably cover you for the next 5 years easy!
Thank you my dear for this great video. Greetings and sending love from Vietnam! ❤
Thank you, I hope have been well Ms Anh!
Awesome Sony FX3 review!
This is an amazing Camera!
Well done and huge like.
Thanks a lot! :)

nice and fair review always man!
Much appreciated!
Great review Aaron!
Thank you :)
I had no idea there was a film using a camera like the fx3 - that is actually really cool!
It's a fantastic movie as well, highly recommend you watch it if you're into sci fi!
Same here, adding that to my to watch list!
@@RudyVisuals on my watchlist for the weekend :D
Great camera review. Best regards and thanks for the tips. Have a happy sunday. ThUp.
Thanks, you too!
FX3 is like a camera we wouldn't think would be possible like 10 years ago. An incredible piece of tech.
100%
Sony needs to chill out the FU with it's camera releases, I can't keep up. Sick footage and review as always btw man!
Totally agree!!
I loved the wedding video you make with the fx3. What lenses did you use for it?
Thank you! We used Sigma 24-70 f2.8 and Sony 70-200 gm ii :)
Okay but what did you use to shoot 0:14 because DAMN that shot is beautiful
Such a beast of a camera
For me FX3 is the dream camera. Cinema level quality but small and compact. But still too expensive :(
Me too. Sony's are always pricey.
How about that new a9 announcement??
It looks TASTY and even though it seems to have great video spec like 6k, it still seems geared more for photography imo. That price tag as well!!
And here I am still rocking an ancient Canon 70D!!!
Great review bro. Now compare the a7siii, fx3 AND fx6 ;)
Working on it!
Did you use a camera cover for the color run event? Be careful, that can get into the vents and really damage your camera.
I'll be honest, I used a makeshift one using a couple of plastic shopping bags, but it worked :D
Is a used a7siii for 2500usd better than a full price fx3?
That's a great price honestly, there's so many other factors to consider though. It really just depends on the individual's needs.
I would be curious to see how the footage compares between fx3 and fx6. Isn't it the same sensor inside as well?
Workng on a video to answer that very question :)
I hear the fx3 is Netflix approved. How would they know the difference between that and the a7 S3?
That's actually a really good question!
I'm always scared to invest in a camera and then a couple of years later a fx3 mark 2 or fx4 will come out?
There's always going to be a new camera around the corner, my advice is always to buy what you need right now!
2:17 looks identical. Also what lens did you use here?
Sorry we forgot to mention, it's with the Sigma 24-70 f2.8

Sony ZV E1 though

There was a new firmware update announced recently for the siii I think but no idea what's in it? I need to check that out.

What would the equivalent Camera alternative to the fx3?
Probably the Canon C70 I'd say.
Damn I need to watch that movie too!
We watched it last weekend, it's amazing!
I just bought second hand a7iii for $1700 with lans aand 60k shatter last month 😢....good camera too I moved from pocket camera
a7iii is still an awesome camera!
Your "B" cam would be my dream camera loool
Didn't know that "Netflix" approved was a thing
