I’m still rocking a Canon EOS R at the moment. I was second shooting for someone today and used their Sony’s (not sure which ones) and it’s definitely put me off switching. They kept over heating! Ps. Came from your Instagram channel 👌
FX3 is still our main camera. Absolutely love it over the Canon C70. I’d pick another one up but I’m trying to hold out for a mark 2. Even then, we will still continue to use the FX3, it won’t ever retire or be sold until it breaks.
What is the mark 3 should I get that instead of the fx 3? I want the best of both worlds for my 1st professional camera for shooting music videos and also photos 📸 please advise
*This is Why I bought the Sony FX30 as it's basically the APS-C version of this Full Frame Version. I love the features you're describing for the FX3 on My FX30. I've Finally got the Cinema Rig Set up that will carry me for as long as I want. It's My ALL-IN-ONE Camera and I use my ZV-E10 as my Secondary Camera. Now that I have the perfect Lens setup for mine which is the 15mm F1.4 G Lens. It's My Perfect Setup for me*
Such a solid review. I’ve been team Canon since day 1, over 15 years ago. 95% photography. As I get more into video, this legit makes me want to grab one of these bodies this year. My wallet is mad at you and I’m ok with that. Haha (And I would definitely grab that LUT after scooping up one of these cameras!) 🏅🏅🏅
Something that often gets overlooked is that this is the most powerful cinema camera that still looks just like a still camera. If discretion is an important aspect of your process then this camera is still very much king.
If you can workaround the thermal limitations it's amazing the ZV-E1 has most of these advantages but also the AI chip from A7R-V, so in some ways it's even better at £1.5k - it's an amazing time to be a content creator with such options!
This camera was the best decision I could have made for my creativity. It just does everything I need it to do in a small form factor that never slows me down in studio or on the go.
My base camera is the Sony 7R I've had it for about 3 years now and it's a great workhorse for me. But after seeing this this could definitely be the next move! Great video, as always!
It’s definitely a power house for video! I’m not there yet to where I’d utilize all it has to offer, but when I do… that baby is definitely coming home with me hahaha. Solid breakdown bro 🫡🔥
Cool video JHawk. Do you have banding or flickering issues using the FX3 with the neon sign in your background?one great feature of the newer Sonys is variable shutter to help with this. Thank you!
Great video! I have a canon r6. At this point I need to upgrade and with no sight of canon releasing anything new I’ve been looking at this camera as well as a few others. Thanks for a great video with perfect timing
Do you think FX3 is better than Sony Burano or Venice? Venice 2 is the top of the line camera especially with the realto system. For vertical content you can center crop. How important would you say it is to be able to rotate the camera 90 degrees? I shoot 8K on RED and cropping seems to hold up the resolution pretty well. For social stuff I export 1080p timelines. I shoot RED and Arri for high end and iPhone 15pro for quick and easy I’m trying to see if FX3 would be better workflow or not really.
I've been going back and forth between getting an FX3 or ZV-E1. I do hike a lot and think maybe the ZV-E1 would be better so I tested one out and loved it. But when it comes to buying it I keep asking is the FX3 really that much bigger? Maybe an inch? Maybe half a pound more? Price aside I can't help feel like it would be better in the long run. Of course the ZV-E1 won't overheat in Pennsylvania in winter, but I keep thinking about the reliability when I travel to hot places. I'd kick myself if I got one of those National Park permits and when I'm out trying to capture the memories the camera keeps shutting down. I know the ZV-E1 is a "travel/vlog" but I think if you can afford it the FX3 is the way to go or no?
Great video, thanks for all the details. What are your thoughts on using the FX3 for doing landscape video like waterfalls? I'm using the Nikon d850 for video now and need a dedicated landscape video camera. Thanks again
Great Video! I'm currently using the GH5 and looking to upgrade to a new full-frame camera. I'm torn between the S5iix and the FX3. Do you think the extra cost for the FX3 is worth it? I’ve watched several footage videos from both cameras on UA-cam, especially in the music video genre, and I find Sony’s look much more modern and cinematic.
So I’m looking into vlogging my wrestling journey and possibly recording at wrestling but also taking photos on the side of my action figures and for wrestlers or just some stuff outside of that like my own personal stuff would you still suggest this camera in 2024
I really want to pick one up but, being three years old, I'm wondering if the MK2 will be coming soon and if they'll address the short comings many people want.
I haven’t seen any comparisons, mainly because these are two completely different use cases, but, how does the new Sony a7c ii compare to this fx3? In terms of video. I know the a7c is basically baby a7 IV- A nice hybrid camera. But truthfully what could you say about the two?
Affirm sells it to you for $154 a month for 48 months which is doable for a monthly payment. But after the 48 months you've paid the equivalent of 2 FX3's. The prices we a pay to do battle...
So this is a video driven camera and can but not the best photos so what camera would be the best of both worlds? Beautiful video and photos so you don't have to buy 2 cameras? I also have the osmo 3
I have a a74,zve1,fx30 with top handle elr, i wanted the cannon c70 or r5c do think i should trade 2 for 1 or just buy it right out and keep what i have sir just asking a season director, creator ,photographer i see u as the best and just wanted your honest opinion thanks have a great day
Hi , nice information, I am doing video on A7Cii with 2470 gmii, want to get fx3 for standalone video purposes, will it really make difference in comparison with A7Cii ?
Let me know in the comments what Camera YOU are using these days?? 📷
I am using the Sony A6400 with the sigma 16mm F1.4 but really want the A7IV!
I’m still rocking a Canon EOS R at the moment. I was second shooting for someone today and used their Sony’s (not sure which ones) and it’s definitely put me off switching. They kept over heating!
Ps. Came from your Instagram channel 👌
My iPhone 15 Pro Max 📱
Sony fx6
I'm using the Canon Rebel T6i 😊
FX3 is still our main camera. Absolutely love it over the Canon C70.
I’d pick another one up but I’m trying to hold out for a mark 2.
Even then, we will still continue to use the FX3, it won’t ever retire or be sold until it breaks.
It really is great!

JHawk 🤝🏼 FX3 - Name a better duo.
Dope video man, seems like such a perfect tool for everything you do.
I like the way you think
You made me get the FX3. Best decision ever🔥I customized button 3 (ISO) to swap between 800 & 12800 for CineEI. Game changer!
Haha my bad ;) appreciate it man!
Currently shooting with
Sony ZV1
Sony ZV E1
Sony A7iii
Dope video bro!
Sheesh! The zve1 has been looking good man!
Crop = crap (and not just crop sensor...but cropped 4k)

Where is the tv commercials that you’ve shot with the fx3? Would love to see it.
I don’t have rights to em

My wallet is mad at you and I’m ok with that. Haha (And I would definitely grab that LUT after scooping up one of these cameras!) 🏅🏅🏅
Ayeee appreciate you bro!
I knew the FX3 would be future proof with the fact that it’s part of the cine line. It’s still getting updates ❤
Just bought the FX3 as my b cam, running A1 as my main camera. Loving the FX3 so far.
Fire combo!
Always a pleasure watching your videos
Thank you!
FX3 is so sick
Facts
Something that often gets overlooked is that this is the most powerful cinema camera that still looks just like a still camera. If discretion is an important aspect of your process then this camera is still very much king.
Great point!
and super convenient for mounting to a gimbal
The fx3 is a beast! For what little experience I have with it, it has been insane 🤘
It really is!
If you can workaround the thermal limitations it's amazing the ZV-E1 has most of these advantages but also the AI chip from A7R-V, so in some ways it's even better at £1.5k - it's an amazing time to be a content creator with such options!
For sure! A great option
This camera was the best decision I could have made for my creativity. It just does everything I need it to do in a small form factor that never slows me down in studio or on the go.
Couldn’t agree more!
Which memory cards do you recommend? I am a Canon shooter, but I plan ti purchase this one.
I'm using the ProGrade128GB card. Works just fine for me. @@royaltykidstv

It’s definitely a power house for video! I’m not there yet to where I’d utilize all it has to offer, but when I do… that baby is definitely coming home with me hahaha. Solid breakdown bro 🫡🔥
You can do it!
I enjoy these smaller cameras. Fx3 , 1st bm pocket camera
Aaahh it makes the choice so tough. I don't know if I should save up 2k more or invest on a Sony ZVE1 atm ! Thanks for your work J!
Haha both are great options!
Open gate would be such an amazing feature.
S5II already has the feature and a whole bunch of other features Sony omits from there cameras. Stop paying more for less features. Stop settling.
Thank You for another fire video man. Much Love & Respect.
Appreciate it!
A7iv has been my go to for my channel. I also use an a7c and a6600 for b and c cams. Great video bro!
All great choices!
Cool video JHawk. Do you have banding or flickering issues using the FX3 with the neon sign in your background?one great feature of the newer Sonys is variable shutter to help with this. Thank you!
I have sometimes! I’ll have to test that out
Oh yes, time for yet another FIRE video
Let’s gooo
I’m rocking the ZV-E1 cause it’s so light BUT I’ve dreamt of owning this camera!! ONE DAY!
Such a great camera! Same sensor as the fx3 :)
My favorite camera currently
Same here!
Great video! I have a canon r6. At this point I need to upgrade and with no sight of canon releasing anything new I’ve been looking at this camera as well as a few others. Thanks for a great video with perfect timing
Glad to help!

Just totally depends, those cameras are re obviously great but way more than needed a lot of times

I know the ZV-E1 is a "travel/vlog" but I think if you can afford it the FX3 is the way to go or no?
Def if price isn’t an issue the fx3 is worth it imo
another Jhawk banger
You are
I wish a cell phone app or point and shoot camera had a simulation filter/app to get the quality of this camera
Haha that would be pretty insane
Love the video dude!
If you had to ditch the FX3 and use something else to replace it what’s one camera you think could potentially compete with it?
Would have go ZVE1 dude!
Great video, thanks for all the details. What are your thoughts on using the FX3 for doing landscape video like waterfalls? I'm using the Nikon d850 for video now and need a dedicated landscape video camera. Thanks again
Any camera would be able to do that, more just what features you need!
I really want to rent this camera soon to see if I like it but damn with how much you’ve raved about it I feel like I should just buy it 😂
It’s great!
Bought my first camera ever this year. It’s a Sony ZV E10
Great cam!
Great Video! I'm currently using the GH5 and looking to upgrade to a new full-frame camera. I'm torn between the S5iix and the FX3. Do you think the extra cost for the FX3 is worth it? I’ve watched several footage videos from both cameras on UA-cam, especially in the music video genre, and I find Sony’s look much more modern and cinematic.
No idea about the s5 so this would be my choice!
S5ii is 2K and has a shit load of features absent in the FX3. Don’t jump on the Sony bandwagon, it’s the iPhone of the camera world.
So I’m looking into vlogging my wrestling journey and possibly recording at wrestling but also taking photos on the side of my action figures and for wrestlers or just some stuff outside of that like my own personal stuff would you still suggest this camera in 2024
This video was made in 2024! ha
fire video brotha
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sony A7iv. Want to get the ZVE1 because how compact it is but I don't know how good it would do with photo.
So good!
When’s the mark 2 coming??
Wish I knew!
I really want to pick one up but, being three years old, I'm wondering if the MK2 will be coming soon and if they'll address the short comings many people want.
Hard to say!
I haven’t seen any comparisons, mainly because these are two completely different use cases, but, how does the new Sony a7c ii compare to this fx3? In terms of video.
I know the a7c is basically baby a7 IV- A nice hybrid camera. But truthfully what could you say about the two?
I would look up a comparison between this and the A7iv. Too much to explain in a comment haha, I kept this one for video usage tho
As always top notch content bro but I've been thinking about picking up a camera but whats a good budget friendly camera for someone like me to use
Appreciate you watching!
Question, in low light, to avoid noise…you have to crank the iso all the way up to 12800? That seems pretty high for a base iso
Don’t have to no, but if you’re close might as well
I’m so close to switching to Sony from the s5 iix
Running an FX3 & the A7Cii
Sheeesh
Fire video bro 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Appreciate it!
still loving my fx30
Great camera!
Quick question I have the Sony A7siii and I want to get the fx3 will I have a problem with matching the color tones ?
Nope, bascially same camera
Great review.
I hear a lot of talk about the 12mp sensor
I have a billboard on 290 in Chicago shot with the Sony a7s3
Hahaha exactly!
how was the billboard?
I sold my FX3 for a Komodo but I miss it everyday :( lol I still have the FX30 and it’s still a beast
Haha also a beast!
Does this camera FX3 has IBS in body stabilization? Do you have audio
in 120 fps while shooting? Thanks
Yes and yes!
Affirm sells it to you for $154 a month for 48 months which is doable for a monthly payment. But after the 48 months you've paid the equivalent of 2 FX3's. The prices we a pay to do battle...
Yikes haha
Hey! Im thinking about getting this camera. If I could only get one lens, which one would you recommend for general use?
24-70!
Have the camera Sony A7iii camera loved every shoot it captures....thinking about the Sony FX3 for filming😂
If you got the money for it its a beast!
@@JHawk Saving it now. 😆🙏🏼
FIRE, about to get one
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
What would you say this camera is like for low light photography in night clubs I want it so bad but this is my only thing holding me back!
It’s not really a photo camera but it is great in low light situations
Is there a big difference between shooting with a sigma “equivalent” lens on the fx 3 vs a g master ? @JHawk
Not really these days
This camera has been sitting in my b&h cart for weeks 😂
Haha don’t watch this video then 😂
It's the goat.
Truth!
Quick crazy question. Would you be doing a giveaway on the fx 3?
😂😂😂
@@JHawkcrazy question yeah 😂
However it would be nice to see you do something like that considering the growth you've had in the last few years
Coming over from IG 🤘🏼
Ayeee! A real one!
So this is a video driven camera and can but not the best photos so what camera would be the best of both worlds? Beautiful video and photos so you don't have to buy 2 cameras? I also have the osmo 3
So many options the a7IV is my first thought!
You legend j hawk
🙏🏻🙏🏻
What lenses do you run with the fx3?
16-35 the most
I have a a74,zve1,fx30 with top handle elr, i wanted the cannon c70 or r5c do think i should trade 2 for 1 or just buy it right out and keep what i have sir just asking a season director, creator ,photographer i see u as the best and just wanted your honest opinion thanks have a great day
I wouldn’t switch to canon no
@JHawk thanks mr hawk for your time and response
6k and built in nd is god tier !
Would be crazy!
Hi I am looking to buy a lens for the sony fx3 can you recommend which lens would be best for someone looking to film product videos.
It’s like asking what car should I buy, so many variables. Just do some research!
A7s4 will be the next announced camera
Maybe!
I needed to watch this! Been contemplating on which one to get! Thank you for making this awesome video! Now I’m decided! 🫡
Glad it helped!
Which two memory cards are recommended for this camera?
Any v90 SD!
@@JHawk thank you
@@JHawk is this for all Sony Cameras? Is this when shooting 1080 too?
You know a good place or website where I wont get low price for it to sell my canon to get a sony?
Nah posting online maybe?
Hi , nice information, I am doing video on A7Cii with 2470 gmii, want to get fx3 for standalone video purposes, will it really make difference in comparison with A7Cii ?
Loaded question. There is a huge price gap for a reason just so some more research on both! Depends on your use
that camera is 6000-8000 in my country!!!! i need to save up for it
It’s a beast!
Am I about to trade up my R6 to the FX3👀👀👀
You should!
Great camera
Truth!
Super bro

F*cking 🔥🔥🔥 video and camera!
Thank you!
