Re: a6700 - I actually recorded this video before the a6700 embargo lifted 😅I'm not quite cool enough to have the inside scoop like that, but here are my thoughts on FX30 vs a6700: If you are a professional VIDEOGRAPHER, I think the FX30 is still worth it for the following reasons: - Full-size HDMI port - 2x SD card slots - Higher Resolution LCD Monitor - 16-bit RAW through HDMI - Timecode connectivity - Same Body as FX3 (which is useful for rigging up your camera with cages, etc.) However, if you are more of a HYBRID shooter, the a6700 has some additional perks such as a mechanical shutter, EVF, and some improved shooting modes (for photography).

Is the weather sealing equivalent? I like how the FX30 has almost the same features as all my big boy ENG cameras minus genlock. I just ordered one because I needed/wanted something smaller that doesn't kill me if I'm on foot or travelling light.

@@hbp_ I'm sure you'll be very happy with it! As for weather sealing with the FX3 it's equivalent. With the a6700....no idea. Thought it doesn't have a fan, so I would assume it's prob even better? (But apparently might have some overheating issues)

I'm thinking it would be like the FX6 body, but the only difference is the sensor would be APS-C (like the FX30's sensor). Hence, FX60 *_*cue Zelda chest opening sound*_* . So you get all the benefits of the FX6: EVND, SDI Connectivity, Codecs, etc, but with an APS-C Sensor, at a cheaper price point!

amazing video...I have a FX30 with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and also the Sigma f1.4 trio...I do weddings, live events and some corporate videos...I use lights if posssible...I think I could use a 2nd FX30 or FX3 in some gigs...of course the FX3 will be a much higher investment...that ISO 12800 is incredible-what's the hightes ISO you feel comfortable using with the FX30 before the video becomes too grainy? I prefer not to do too much post production cleap up after. The sensible thing to do would be to get a second FX30...the daring would be the FX3 with a 24-70mm f2.8!! or better...

GET THE SONY FX30. Great price, great investment, amazing quality. "oh it's not full frame" Do the 1.5 multiplier to your focal length and boom full frame resolved. Low light, no problem embrace the noise and grain, get creative. $2100 extra bucks ONLY FOR A FULL FRAME.... NAH relax just get out there and shoot.

Is the FX3 really the best camera for low light? The king?
@JohnCastillo
Жыл бұрын
I would say so! It’s pretty well documented on KZitem (along with the a7siii which shares the same sensor). Based on my experience with Canon, Blackmagic, and Lumix I can attest. The only camera I can’t draw a comparison with is Nikon, as I have never tested them. That being said many of the FX3’s competitors are pushing higher resolution full frame cameras, which tend to have poorer light performance by default because each pixel receives less light. That’s the greatest distinguishing feature of the a7riii (resolution - for photography), a7iii (hybrid), and a7siii (sensitivity - for video). Not sure if the letters have been confirmed to actually be shorthands for the words I mentioned, but that is at least the understanding in the camera space ☺️

Nothing but love and admiration for Lumix here! My first cam was a GH5 and I had many more along the years (GH5s, BGH1, S1H). At a certain point we decided to make a shift (in short, due to low-light, autofocus, lenses, and rentability). This was of course prior to the S5iix, which seems like it was released just to taunt me.

It's a better price, that's for sure. I think better value - it depends what you are looking for. Here is a list of things the FX30 has over the a6700: - Full-size HDMI port - 2x SD card slots - Higher Resolution LCD Monitor - 16-bit RAW through HDMI - Timecode connectivity - Same Body as FX3 (which is useful for rigging up your camera with cages, etc.) If you want a photo camera as well though, the a6700 has perks such as a mechanical shutter, EVF, and some improved shooting modes. Depends on what you're looking for, I guess 😁
