Really always enjoying your videos. Super underrated channel. Your calm way of explaining everything goes against everyone else on social media these days. Love it, and please keep it up!
I tend to agree with you, it really makes no sense to have the A7SIII if you have the Fx3 for video, but I don't think there will ever be a ND Filter built in due to size. That is a feature reserved for the FX6 and above.
I actually really want focus map. It's really helpful for run and gun filming 😅. But totally agree would be great for all fx3 settings would come to the a7siii
I really want custom luts in this update, come on sony a6700 has that. Need that need that need that. Give that to us. What do you think about that man? Nobody talked about that😢
@@storybabble fingers crossed, Let's see what Sony does. If they don't give that we have to tell them but i hope they will give it, they didn’t mention it in their presentation because it's not an mind bowing thing to highlight. But it's very very important thing for indie and solo creators. Let's see what happens.
I agree. I have always thought it would make sense for for Sony to sell optional slide on EVF?that way people could choose to have one or not. For me I would pay more for an EVF. But I’m afraid no camera is ever going to be perfect.
Considering how/when the A7Siii was released/announced July 2020, Then the FX6 in Sept 2020, then the FX3 in Feb 2021. Because the way the FX series has taken over video I would bet they will simultaneously release 2 of these or start with the FX6 ii then FX 3ii and if the a7s series isn't dead the a7siv. most likely if the Fx9 ii gets a global shutter the Fx6 will but the FX3 ii and A7siv will keep the traditional rolling shutter.
For everyone waiting on a firmware update be very careful. My fx3 is about 3 years old and out of warranty I updated from firmware 4.0 to 5.0 through the creators app it literally bricked my camera and it was not operable I got in touch with Sony Pro support and send it off to Precision Camera and in turn was quoted $1,100 and with Pro support I get 20% off and then they told me that because the cameras out of warranty they can give me an extra 10% off but I still have to pay for my camera being brick from a firmware update because it is out of warranty apparently the Control Board needs replaced also part of that quote is to replace the sensor filter that is not related
@@storybabble I guess I made enough of a fuss. Sony decided to refund me for the repairs. Still not sure what happened but i'd like them to hopefully keep it from happening in the future
I would love to see breathing compensation for third party lenses. I had an idea that if cameras recorded the focus adjustments in real-time frame by frame a bit like Gyro data is recorded, it might then be possible to do breathing compensation in post using that data (without having to set scaling keyframes like i do now), just a thought. I also would love shutter angle, but I do manage fine without it :)
I like this guys "negative" outlook. And of course, it has been spawned from Sony's constant disappointment to their S-line. I do prefer, personally, the FX3's body type (yes, I hate the media used, along with a few more things: unusable tilt-screen in daylight, UGH!), and I am willing to wait for the second version. Hopefully, the FX3 ii comes with the list of features you suggested for the A7S-4 (Open Gate; Built in NDs; etc). But I do empathise with the S-2 and S-3 users. These cameras should get the same updates as the FX3, and WITHOUT exception.
Nice work Story Babble ! Do you think a Sony A7SIV or FX3II could be announced before July 2024? The Sony A7SIII update delayed releases, is this bad news for those waiting for the new devices?
Thank you. I wish I knew when Soni would announce an FX3 ii. Looking at their past releases doesn’t provide a clear pattern for me. But if Sony releases an a7siv and not an FX3ii, then I’m going to wait. At least that’s what I’m telling myself now.
Really? I don’t remember that. I will look back on the F55. The only I remember is that it was out of my price range. I that’s for the info. Appreciate it.
@@storybabble that was the whole selling point to pay extra for the F55 over the F5. But I guess most people looking to buy the a9ii never had an expensive proper cinema camera in their radar to remember.
I agree. I know they started to try that a while back. Hopefully that’s ancient history. I think it would really make people consider switching to another camera system.
I think it would use it because I often want to adjust up or down a little in post because I don’t always get the framing right when I shoot myself. But I respect your opinion. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for the kind words. It really is encouraging. It makes me want to keep going. Thanks.

You’re probably right. But one can bream. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I’ve actually used focus mapping a few times. It has helped me when I’ve had trouble telling if I got focus or not.
I really want custom luts in this update, come on sony a6700 has that. Need that need that need that. Give that to us. What do you think about that man? Nobody talked about that😢
That’s something I want as well. I should have mentioned it. Thanks for your input. Appreciate it.

I actually like focus mapping a lot, and I wish it was in the FX3.
I hear you. It is cool, but I never think to use it. I really should give it a chance. Thanks for sharing.
Seting up the timecode, jam sync using the cable is a bit update for me, I can finaly properly work on proffesional multicam sets with a7siii
That’s great. I’m interested in finding out who much that will cost to set up. Thanks.
Sony a7s4 what can be release?
Thats awesome, an Alpha 7SIV would be nice to see. So far ive still been very happy with my A7IV.
Thx. So also love, my a7iv.
I wouldn't mind moving to FX3ii even with beefier body, but what I want to have is viewfinder 🙄

Sounds like a logic thing for Sony to do, who knows, Sony doesn’t always do the most logical thing. But, your idea is solid.

Wow! Thanks for the tip.
Just trying to spread the awareness. i see everyone complaining about firmware updates and i know sony has major ones coming up.

It’s nice to know that someone out there understands me. Thanks.
24P is better for VFX work, drop frame is always a bit of a hassle as you dive into the workflows vs. working with solid number framerates 🤓
Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. Appreciate you sharing that. .

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
Global shutter existed a decade ago in the Sony F55 though.

@@storybabble that was the whole selling point to pay extra for the F55 over the F5. But I guess most people looking to buy the a9ii never had an expensive proper cinema camera in their radar to remember.
I just want shutter angle
That would be a good start. I agree.
Is it bad that i thought of you when i saw the announcement for the firmware for the s3? 😅
No, I love that you thought of me. Thx.
As long as they don't get the bold idea to start trying to charge for these updates I'll take it
I agree. I know they started to try that a while back. Hopefully that’s ancient history. I think it would really make people consider switching to another camera system.
best thumbnail ever
Thanks. My daughter helps me with thumbnails. I’ll let her know.
I will believe it when I see it with Sony
I hear you.
Where is it haha
Good point. Should be soon. But who knows.
i DON'T REALLY WANT A GLOBAL SHUTTER, IT HAS HEAVY DRAWBACKS, At least for video!
I think it would use it because I often want to adjust up or down a little in post because I don’t always get the framing right when I shoot myself. But I respect your opinion. Thanks for sharing.
