Best real world review yet! Thanks for this. Also, really impressive shots there, nice work.
Thank you 🙌
This the review I’ve been waiting for. I’m considering getting the FX30 for filming local football games.
Awesome! 🙌 def worth at least a consideration
Thank you for these reviews, Peter. Please contine and thank you again!!!
Definitely plan on continuing! Thank you for watching!
You just earned a sub! Thank you for this content, I’m going to be using fx30 + 70-200 f4 for my sons first football game tomorrow
That’s awesome! Have fun!
I just bought the FX30 a few weeks ago and I love it! Used it for a few basketball games so far and the results have been great
Love to hear it! 👊
How’s the low light?
@@ryansmith3939 not bad, also not amazing. Going to make a video talking about low light and some other features of the Fx30 vs A7iv where I’ll talk about my experiences with it in more depth
I am considering these two cameras for mostly outdoor shooting. Looking forward to seeing how the 4K 120fps compares.
@@petersarellas I’ll be looking for that video. As someone who is a sports videographer as well and currently has the A7IV, I’m torn between returning my A7IV for the FX30 or keeping myA7IV.
Nice used at a soccer game with mine the either day used your technique on shutter speed and work well for me!
Amazing! Love to hear it 🙌
Wow, you are super talented. The footage I take of my kids sports looks nothing like this, but there's still time to learn. Thx for sharing!
Always time to learn! I started a few years back filming kids sports too. No problem, thanks for watching!
So happy I purchased the fx30! Great video 👌
Same here and thank you!
Another banger definitely will look into this one soon
Awesome 🙌
Incredible footage! I’m very interested in this camera for filming pickle ball both indoor and outside. Lots of reviews say this camera is pretty noisy in low light. I shoot more for fun but would love to get your input take on it for indoor. I shoot primarily Fuji x-t3 and x-h1 and they get noisy too but it’s the continuous autofocus just isn’t good enough
My first camera was a 7D, shooting mediocre 1080/24 and 720 at 60fps, for a little less than the fx30 cost in 2011. I've had mine for a day and it blows me away.
Insane how technology has developed over that time
i'm looking to do local Basketball games. i'm looking into this one as wel
This is what I was looking for 😍
Love that 🙌
Amazing shots, thanks for the video. One question - I’m filming soccer and find the focus shifts a lot because there are so many obstacles on the field (goalposts/players). What are your go-to iris settings to get a nice focus but also to make sure most of the subjects get in focus? Autofocus transition speed etc. Any tips appreciated and Happy New Year!
did you solve it? I want to buy the camera to record soccer.
Wow your footage looked so good. Thanks for the video. Why did you use the S&Q for the 120 4K footy vs regular 120fps?
I use s&q for my 120fps in pregame bc I generally don’t need audio then, it still looks good, and it saves space on my cards and hard drives
So glad you are testing this out I was waiting for this! Question: Do you shoot the real time in 120fps so you can slow it down in certain areas?
I usually shoot a mix of 60fps and 120fps - generally saving the 120fps for red zone plays or key moments in the game. Pregame I shoot 120fps in s&q and in-game I shoot it in real time.
@@petersarellas Thanks bro! You are my motivation for trying sports videography
Thanks for the video, great work mate! I am really hesitating between the F30 and A7IV to shoot sport and podcast. You mention you have an extra reach with the FX30 as it is an APSC sensor but you do also have a crop at 4k60 with the A7IV so isn’t it the same at the end in terms of that extra reach?
You'll still have a little more with an extra 1.55x crop on top of the crop sensor in 120fps mode
좋은 영상 감사합니다~!
Thanks so much. I bought your sports Lut pack. Looking pretty good in post. Wondering if you could tell us which log shooting mode you used? Do you use cini ei etc? How about some tips for exposure on the fx30. Thanks again so much you videos are great.
Hi Garth, I use Cine EI Quick for my log shooting mode and in slog3 am typically overexposing by 1.67 stops
Yes sir! New video 🔥🤌🏽
🤌🤝
Nice review, thanks man.
How do you zoom in on your zoom lens? By turning the zoom ring by hand? Or did you install a manual follow focus for the zoom ring?
Thanks
I turn the zoom ring by hand
What lens do you recommend for a canon m50 sports videography purposes
Nice cinematic work. Great visuals with movement. Not that easy to get. The camera is second, the cinematographer is FIRST!
Thank you 🙏🏼 means a lot!
Do you shoot slog-3 with Cine ei during all sporting events?
Pete do you have a video talking about your auto focus settings?? I’ve seen a short you made but not real explanation
Bit of an older video but this one covers it

czcams.com/video/kHe2Wy4spa8/video.html
What lens do you recommend for soccer to get simlar footage? Great video review!
Honestly I’d shoot the two sports pretty similarly so I’d say fairly similar lenses. Only difference with soccer is you’re not usually running up and down but rather parking it in one spot so probably need a slightly longer lens to compensate for that (something like a 100-400mm or a 200-600mm)
hey, do you use a 70-200? if so what f stop is it? Love the videos man 🎉
Yes! I use the 70-200mm f4 macro at f4
Great footage- I am loving my FX 30 as well!! In a fast moving game did you ever notice issues with rolling shutter (I have had no issues with that - but I shoot fashion so it's not gonna 'push' the camera to the limits...)?
The rolling shutter on the fx30 is actually noticeably better than the A7iv that I was using to shoot game action previously. If I’m being honest though I’ve never had a client or external person who doesn’t know cameras ever watch my videos and actually comment on rolling shutter regardless of camera being used, so as long as it isn’t abysmal it isn’t very high on my list of concerns when filming.
@@petersarellas That's my impression from what I have seen from others- it seems the sensor readout is under 15ms- not bad- and unless you spend your day shooting airplane propellers or fan blades it really isn't obvious to the viewer... (Maybe car racing with fast pans against the stands would be the one real life place where it might be noticeable...)
between Sony a 7 iv vs fx 30 is it the same quality video for 10 bits ?
I can't decide! Seems like people use the a7iv more for short clips, but fx30 for continuous filming. As a beginner, which option should I go with? I'm wondering if the 120fps is really necessary for sports? Or can I get away with 60 fps for slow motion?
Great vid Peter! 💪🏻
Do you use active stabilization when filming sports or did you find it “disturbing”?
I’ll use it sometimes but not very often. I find it more useful for scenarios where I’m handheld and want the camera to be rather still as opposed to when I’m frequently panning and tilting the camera.
@@petersarellas I see... Thanks for the answer!
Peter, Any suggestions on a beginner lense to pair with the FX30 for indoor sports, specifically volleyball? Thank you, Sir!
Depends on budget, but the Sony 18-105mm f4 is a good versatile one that’s pretty affordable, the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 can be had for fairly cheap used (look for the older version to save some $ if you don’t need the newest features) and the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 is a solid fast lens with a wide zoom range that could be good if you’re cool with spending a bit more. Hopefully that gives you a few options to start looking into as you begin your research.
Hey Peter,
I've been using the FX-30 for over a month now. I shoot primarily football. With the 70-200 with the apsc crop when do you decide to shoot 120 vs 60 fps? I know there is an added like 1.6 crop when shooting in 120. Is it best to use 120 when out of the redzone? Thank you!
Although it might seem counterintuitive given the greater crop I actually use 120fps in the red zone exclusively since I want to capture those high intensity moments at higher frame rates without shooting hundreds of GBs per game. It’s easier for me to compensate for the crop since end zones are larger in Canadian football than in American football so I can usually take an extra step or two back at the back of the end zone and get a shot.
Just bought an fx30 and I mostly cover basketball can you share your settings for shooting sports i need insight badly i have a gig this upcoming weekend.
Here are my settings:
czcams.com/video/CRmyafwuQ80/video.html
These are for A7IV but it’s practically the same except 4k120 instead of 4k60 and slightly higher ISO and natural 180 degree shutter angle to compensate
Thanks for this footage! So clean! I was just wondering your thought process when choosing to go 60fps/120fps/S&Q. Are there certain moments you like using one over the other? Thanks again for the content!
Usually try to go 120fps when I know a key moment is coming up if possible (ex. When in the red zone). S&Q when I don’t need audio like most times during pregame (there’s usually very loud music blasting in the stadium that would get copyrighted anyways). Mostly do it this way to save space on my SD cards. Will also drop to 60fps if I need to in order to get a good exposure, which depends on my camera + lens combo and the day.
Hi, mate! The picture looks nice. The scenes you showed were in focus, so the autofocus must be pretty good as well? How did you manage the stabilization, do you use a gimbal or stabilize in post?
All shot handheld with a camera strap around my neck and didn’t add any stabilization in post but I do sometimes use active stabilization in camera. I also add some extra weight to my rig sometimes to make it easier to keep still.
@@petersarellas thanks, respect!
Just subbed! Mr. Sarellas excellent. I just ordered the fx30 for my kickboxing match March 18th and would love to hear what you think would be best to have it shot in, 4k 60fps or 4k 120fps? Also, when filming that game what were your shutter speeds?
So happy you like the videos! What frame rate you decide to film in will depend on how much you think you’ll use 120fps as opposed to 60fps as well as how powerful your computer is, how much storage space you have, and how much available light you have in your venue. When I film my shutter speed is usually around 1/320-1/400
@@petersarellas thsnk you for the response. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be well lit up on the ring and then dark surrounding it. I also want to create the best picture so I know going up in fps it will diminish quality. Right now I'm actually working on researching how I need to have my camera settings. S-log or cinetone, how much exposure and grading for a beautiful end result. I'm new to this detailed stuff but learning as much as I can.
I'm stuck between the a7iii and the fx30 to buy this summer. Obivously the fx30 is a better video camera but i'm planning on also doing some sports photography so idk what to do
Definitely a tricky decision and I’ve got a video about this dilemma coming out shortly!
@@petersarellas Excited for this review. I'm in the same situation wanting to get started on a budget. Thank you, Peter!
What camera do you recommend for photography and videography for sports? I’m thinking a7iv or A7siii, but I wanna hear your experience and opinion thanks! 🙌🏽
I personally use the A7iv and think it’s among the best bang for your buck hybrid mirrorless cameras out rn
lmao when that firework went off
That thing literally scares me all the time 😭
Hi Peter,
I'd like to know if you'd recommend this camera for filming breakdance events? The use of fast and slow motion is what I'd like to focus on. Events are usually inside but can be outside as well. If not the FX30, maybe a different camera? I'd appreciate any info thank you
It’s definitely a good option to consider, though for inside events it might be necessary to get a faster lens with an f2.8 aperture or lower. You could also consider the Sony A7iv, A7Siii, or FX3. All three of those are also very capable video cameras, each with their respective pros and cons which I encourage you to dig into further.
@@petersarellas Thank you! Appreciate the response and will dig deeper but I have a better start now 🎥
No one mentions the 4k 60 proxies! That’s so helpful to know!!
I didn’t even know it’d be a feature in there but honestly it’s been one of the biggest game changers for me!
How it works ??
But you will need a faster card to record 4k50/60 with proxy, preferably v60 cards. Can even use it for 4k100/120p in video mode, not s&q which needs v90 card instead
Isn’t that available on the A7IV?
@@DB-lr6kl I dunno. I don’t have that camera
I think the fx30 would be a great b-cam for my FX6 😅👍🏻🎥
Sounds like a sweet combo!
Dope footage 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I Literally just got my fx30 a couple weeks ago but I’m having trouble with grainy footage. Even when I’m shootings in slog3. Any tips or videos that can help get rid of the noise? I’ve watched several tutorials, but it’s clearly something I’m still doing wrong. Thanks in advance
Hey there! I found that you can’t bring the ISO on the FX30 as high as on some other cameras, so I’d try to keep it no higher than 4000 ISO at absolute most if possible. Also make sure you’re overexposing your slog3 image by 1.66 stops. That isn’t a blanket fix and depends on your specific scene but generally overexposing by that much and bringing the highlights down in post is a great way to reduce noise with slog3 images.
@@petersarellas Thanks man. I’m gonna give that a try and see what happens. Preciate you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@notjaxproductions5225 please let me know what happened with you ? Looking into this camera
Can you use the same lenses as you do with with the SONY Alpha Series?
Yes any of Sonys crop sensor lenses like ones you’d use with crop sensor alpha series cameras will work
After some research looks like I will go with the fx30 due to price and full frame cost. Would the sony pz 18-105mm f/4 G OSS be good enough and have the distance to film basketball games? Thoughts?
I think this is a great value combo!
my only worry for you is that in some basketball arenas the lighting can suck and so be tough to work with which is why most people gravitate towards an f2.8 lens whether its the 28-70 or 70-200
Hii, i ordered the fx30 , my question is what lens did you use to film the game footage. It looked fantastic
I used the Sony 70-200mm f4 with the fx30
what color settings do you use when you add your lut like log
Colour profile is slog3 S-Gamut3.Cine
What monitor do you use for the fx30 while filming at 4k 60? Thx
I use the Andycine A6 Plus. Should be linked in description if you want to check it out in more detail.
Are you using manuel or auto focus? If you are using auto focus what are your auto focus setting to keep fast moving subjects in focus?
I would be interested in your autofocus settings as well
I’m about to shoot a soccer game with my FX30 and 18-105 in APSC mode.
Should I shoot the whole game in 60fps? It’s just to test my camera for sports video, not for a client.
Do I need to shoot in S-Log at all?
If you’re just shooting a game to text I’d recommend trying out different frame rates and picture profiles so that you can figure out what you like best for when there’s a client
Just got mine too. To do other film work and vlog. Gotta love it. This honestly could be the next “affordable” sport video camera, not to mention just video camera in general. Just get a 2.8 or faster lens, and ur good 😂😂
All facts! Beast of a camera and if the only major compromises are crop sensor and that you don’t get A7siii level night vision then it’ll likely work for a lot of people
@@petersarellas exactly. i really needed something that wont overheat, so that was a HUGE plus for me
Exactly what lenses would you recommend?
@@hereweare9011 I like the 16-55 2.8 for wider shots, unless you wanna go with a 1.4-1.8 prime. But after that, it’s the 70-200 2.8 or larger lenses if needed
So there there were no rolling shutter artifacts that you fixed in post?
No
Would you recommend this for a dual camera for example doing sports photography and videography? I’m deciding between this and the Sony a7iv. But i also want to do things like weddings as well but right now i mostly do photos and video for sports
As someone who owns the A7IV and FX30 I’d highly recommend the A7IV as a photo/video hybrid and would not recommend the FX30 for photography unless you absolutely have to for some reason
@@petersarellaswhy?
Did you use the black promist filter in this video?
Yes
Can you record while connected through hdmi to a live monitor?
Yes I usually record while using an external monitor via hdmi
Hey Peter, what SD card do you recommend for this camera without breaking the bank?
I use sandisk extreme pro v90 128gb sd cards and they’re great. Expensive relative to your super cheap and slow $30 sd cards but in spite of still being a couple hundred dollars they’re the least expensive option that lets you access high quality recording modes that make having a new camera worthwhile while also giving you sufficient storage space.
I noticed quaiet a lot of rolling shutter in the footage. Is there way to reduce it?
Haven’t figured out a great way but the rolling shutter on the FX30 is better than on the A7iv at least
Yeah. Different shooting modes do. The less of the sensor you use, the faster the readout.
The 4k 120 doesn’t use the full sensor and so has less rolling shutter
Nice work. Did you shoot at 180° rule?
No, I had my shutter faster than usual
how did you manage the focus ¨ did you record on autofocus
Using autofocus and selectively half/pressing the shutter to hold focus or tapping the screen to use eye tracking
How do you think the fx30 would handle indoors sports in poor light?
It isn’t bad in low light though in really poor lighting it should be paired with a fast lens
Hey brother. Great video. I thoroughly enjoyed your review, but I've got a few questions. How did you shoot at 120fps and have both slo-mo footage and 24fps real time footage on the same timeline? See, If I were to shoot at 120fps and interpret the footage to 24fps, the 120fps footage would look buttery smooth and slo-mo on the 24fps timeline, but now that the timeline is set to 24fps, I'd have to actually shoot the original footage at 24fps for it appear real-time.
Am I wrong to say that I'd have to shoot at 24fps footage for anything to appear real time on this respective 24fps timeline?
Bdw, If I shot with two cameras, one at 120fps and one at 24fps, I could totally make it work, but the issue that confounds me here is that you seem to have used one camera set at 120fps, but you somehow managed to change between 120fps and 24fps on the same timeline!
Any help is welcome buddy! The only solution that I can come up is that you may have speedramped the 120fps footage on the 24fps timeline for the sections that you wanted to appear real-time?
More power to you buddy.
You can shoot everything at a faster fps and place it in a 24fps timeline- add motion blur to the non slow-mo footage, and then you can slow down the sections you choose with a 'proper' shutter speed and frames. Easier and better to add in motion blur than try to sharpen footage shot with a slower shutter and create 'interpolated' frames IMHO.
At @nypics said above, just shooting higher frame rates and placing on a 24fps timeline, then speed ramping to slow the footage down as desired
@@petersarellas Thanks brother.
@@Nypics THANK YOU!
What is with the fast frame rate? Is that on purpose? Is the 120fps noisy ?
Purposely shooting with a fast shutter at high frame rates bc I think it looks cool for sports. 120fps can be noisy in low light but this game was daytime so I was able to shoot at base ISO and had no issues. If filming in low light scenarios I’d likely opt for 4k60 with a more standard shutter and keep ISO as close to the 2nd base ISO of 2500 as possible.
What would you recommend, the fx30 or the a7 iv?
Bit of a tricky question that depends on your specific situation. I have a video answering this exact question in detail already filmed and it will be out shortly!
Peter would you recommend this as a good starter for sports (more for basketball)? Is it good for fast paced video footage?
If you were to pair it with a relatively fast zoom lens that has a wider side to it like the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 then it can be good. Given the low light performance vs it’s full frame counterparts and how dimly lit high school gyms can be though you may be better off going with a full frame camera like the A7iv or even the A7iii depending on how much you’re looking to spend so that you can take advantage of the low light performance of a larger sensor.
@@petersarellas did you have the same low light and angle issues with your a6400 due to the sensor? I was planning to buy the 6600 but the price on fx30 is too good lol. I was planning on getting the Sony 70-200 f/4 to go with it, but now I am thinking about players coming up close
@@petersarellas do you plan to show some basketball footage with your fx30 on here ? Thank you for all the videos it’s helping answer a lot of questions. I tell everyone I know that ask about videos to go to your channel for information.
@@jlo2475 yes I do and thank you! It speaks volumes that you’re so willing to recommend my content
What do you use S&Q mode for ?
Often times pregame stuff when there’s copyrighted music playing that would prevent me from capturing clean and useable audio. This excludes if I’m right in front of a player talking or filming someone mic’d up
Could the fx30 be used for sports photo? Which of the two would you recommend
FX30 is not a good camera for photo period. Would recommend looking into the A7R or A9 lineups if you want to stick with Sony for a photo-first camera.
@@petersarellas I’m a hobbyist. I have interest in making family videos, travel video and photo, video and photo sports as well as video mini docs at home.
Maybe a7iv? Just wish naked in slog3 LUTs were possible. May have to settle on a scinetone and adjust magenta
Peter, if you’re not using the 180° shutter rule. What shutter speed did you use for 120fps clips?? They look phenomenal and I’d love to emulate that look myself!
My shutter speed is usually around 1/320 - 1/400 or so when filming in 120fps so long as the light allows
Wow man I’m hoping canon comes out with something like this to compete against this camera
I’m all for it. The competition forces innovation and then we all get better equipment.
FX30 is sooooo gooood
Seriously!!
Do you use cine ei mode or flexible iso?
Flexible ISO but I still almost always shoot at a base ISO
@@petersarellas Thanks So much for the help really appreciated! Your videos helped me so much !
I know this is a video camera first, but what is this camera like when it comes to sports photography?
I would not purchase this camera for photography. Although this camera can technically take photos it is missing some key features like a viewfinder that are non-negotiable for photo work. There are lots of better hybrid options at similar price points.
@@petersarellas thought so, I was thinking about getting the A7IV since I would like to shoot photo and video. Do you think the rolling shutter on the A7IV
would become an issue when shooting basketball photos?
@@OTEET5 I have used the A7iv plenty and although the rolling shutter performance is poor I really don’t think it’s a huge factor in the grand scheme of what makes a camera good or bad so personally I don’t worry too much about it.
Is the low light good enough?
Depends on the specific scenario. It is very passable but in extreme low light conditions should be paired with a fast lens. I try my best to never push the iso beyond about 4000 or so on it
Fx30 gang 🙏🏾
🙏🏼😤
What memory cards are you using for this?
SanDisk Extreme Pro V90 (300 MB/s) 128GB
@Peter Sarellas I love your work. I was under the impression that I needed a CFexpress Type A to get 4K 120. Thanks for the input.
Seems like a great camera but that rolling shutter for sports doesn't convince me.
It is great for what it is though I definitely feel you and for the price it’s offered at I suppose there had to be a compromise somewhere
that rolling shutter looks really noticeable oof big turn off
I’m happy that the test footage was able to help you make your decision
That rolling shutter is baaaad
Idk man. That rolling shutter looks awful imo.
Honestly to each their own but I’ve always found that rolling shutter is something that only people who do video for a living will pick up on. From my experiences sports fans and casuals who watch our content barely if ever think twice about how jello-y footage looks during quick pans. Thats exactly why I included lots of test footage, each person has a different level of tolerance to things like this.
@@petersarellas That's for sure, I had always found it distracting since the beginning of my filming business and at this point I cant unsee it :/. Even however great Sony's autofocus is (Thanks to Minolta) some corners need to be cut in order to push professionals over to their $4k+ cameras, if it wasn't for some people looking for autofocus then Sony would have a real trouble. All in all your shots and colours are great man, Im sure one day youll get rid of this camera to jump on something with a faster read-out for your sports filming business.
thanks for the video. good info. very helpful. ,im from California but actually like the cfl more than the nfl. way more community-based and less divas 😁
The CFL is definitely a fun game!
