As a low budget peruvian video maker, this camera gave me the confidence I needed for getting better and better clients. I started a few years ago with a small Nikon (that actually I couldn't accept decent jobs only very small budget, my job at that time was like 85/90% editing), then changed it for a Sony a6400 wich let me work with more exigent productions, at least I coud pass to 50/50 camera and editing. A year latter I purchased the FX30, and my friend I couldn't be prouder of that desition, now I'm chassing better budgets proyects, my clients are all stisfied with their videos and OF COURSE the next speto (in camera body terms) is the FX3 (maybe MarkII?) when I have the opportunity.
@@aye1tsvic The FX30 has been my dream camera for almost the last 2 years. As someone who hasn't had a proper camera since 2016 when I had my Canon T3i, I'm not worried about a crop 😂
You get a 1.5 crop in any lens with the FX30 body be it a fullframe lens or apsc lens, with the full frame lens you’re at an advantage cause you actually use the center of the glass which actually leaves you with a genuine sharp image or footage
The average user would be better with ZV-E1 which has slightly better autofocus and much better stabilisation for handheld. The only serious reason to get FX30 now is if you already had a few aps-c lenses and you can use those too on ZV-E1 with a bit of cropping plus stabilisation. Other nice FX30 features (other than how good it looks!) are the generous customisable buttons and external mounting points. I have both and struggling to find any reason to use the FX30 now TBH.
I have bmpcc6k and maybe braw and colours makes it cinematic, what makes fx30 “cinema”? Is it better then a73,a74 etc? I really want something smaller but can’t find nothing similar to bmpcc…
I own bmpcc 4k and recently bought FX30. They are both amazing cameras. I used and still use both professionally and both give out amazing image. I use bmpcc 4k mostly cause it makes my workflow smooth with davinci resolve but man i am starting to love FX30. so much in such a small amount of price.
Depends on what type of production you're doing. With Sony just need yo buy a good lens and CF cards/batteries and your good to go. BMPCC have to buy more accessories and lenses, follow focus and all the other stuff to make it work.
blackmagic is superior in my opinion, but only if you don't need autofocus, small camera setup. I bought a GH7 as a second camera for videos where I don't want to run around all day manual focusing a person and also to shoot photos as well
The FX3/30 are such beautiful looking cameras. I have the FX30 and it is a very professional camera to use. CORRECTION: The FX30 takes 26MP photos. (Source: Sony website)
Still making money with my Fx30 and I have 2 of them. Nothing wrong with the camera. Its about the the story and happy clients.
Love it! This camera has longevity.
@@judsonrobertson I have Red and Soon FX9 and Still love filming with FX30 its used 90% of the time.
I subscribed, you do too, Colleague
One must note that you can buy an FX30 + ZV-E1 for the price of an FX3
Interesting, thanks for pointing that out!
WTF you won’t get a 1.5x crop in 4K mode. Only with 120fps. 24fps and 60fps (1.1x crop) are without crop.
The Aps-c has a 1,5x crop. He talks about using fullframe lenses. What he says is correct.
@ it doesn’t make sense to mention only 4K then. Full HD has also a crop. So it is obvious that he is telling about the extra 1.5x crop
@@rinkoyama813 true
Agree. There is a 1.5 crop. But saying there’s an additional crop over the already mentioned crop is WRONG

Only an extra 1.5 times crop when shooting 4k 120….. 4K 24,30 & 60 you will only see the standard crop you get with APSC cameras.
Got mine last summer, absolutely love it!
Great to hear!
Crop in 4k only in high framerates. Also 26 mp photo.
Came here to say this. The crop is only at 4K120 if I'm not mistaken. No crop at 4K60 or 4K30.

@@Dwoalinonly ppl without the camera complain about its crop. once you use it you’ll adjust

@@Dwoalinright😂 i started with a canon r50, good starter cam imo, but i recently been treating the fx30 to test it out and im in love honestly.
does the crop factor Still apply if use apsc lens on this FX30?
26 mega pixel photo not 12
Correct, that is my bad.

I just bought one 2 weeks and LOVE it.

Great video- thank you

I would buy a camera with good autofocus and hdmi out braw (I invested in GH7 but only bc I already owned mft lenses)

Any rumors of the successor coming out soon? FX 30 mark ii?
I’m going to make a video about this next week.
@judsonrobertson sounds great thx... Will wait for your VID--- Would be awesome if they added EVF.. It would seal the deal for me
Agree! I have the FX30 and I LOVE IT! It's an awesome camera. Mostly using it with the Sony 16-55mm F2.8 lens and the ECM-M1 mic.
Great combo!
short answer is: yes why not tho
Yeeee
Whats better This or the Bmpcc
ahhh it is a hard question , should I make a comparison video ?
@ yes please do

Buy the ZVE1 😅 definitely a great small cam too 👍🏻
That's the plan!
4k 120 on the fx30 is really noisy tho, only disadvantage of the camera
Is it really necessary to shoot 120 can’t 60 get it done in most situations?
I loveee the FX30 ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thanks, it is a great camera!
got the a6700 which is basically the baby for this, and I'm getting the fx3, if this is that good imagine the fx3
I’m making an FX3 video like this for next week!
I need to sell or trade my GH5S for this lil guy
... if you already have high quality MFT lenses, why not upgrade to the GH7?
I WOULD NOT BUY IT AGAIN, BIG BUMMER FOR PEOPLE NEED THE EYESIGHT, ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT SWITCHING TO MANUAL WHILE SHOOTING.
Fuck no!! I had it and trade it in for the S5 II X. Never looked back since.
We’re in 2024 ……….
Not for long
@ Long enough
So much misinformation in this video man.
Please expand

Thank you for the correction - I will update the video to reflect that!
I was just about to add the same note about the 26mp photos 👍🏽
This vs GH7? 🫤
Should I do a comparison?
@@judsonrobertson yess🥹 that would be great!
