got the fx3 a year ago and I still get amazed every day from the results
I’m so worried about buying one right now and then learning a newer version is being released.
This is my big fear. I guess we wait until the new version is launched.
@@ToviaSinger1 To get what ? 8k nobody cares. FX3 is phenomenal without any compromise and will always be relevant even if a new version is launched.
@Pierre Bvr we care. Next version may actually make dci 4k wider instead of a crop. Might have native 6k downsampled to 4k. Could have internal ND filters. There's a lot of possibilities worth waiting for.
Plus new model would cause fx3 prices to drop 😤🦍 I'd love to buy one for 3k
@@arturio55 I see it the same way
Shutter angle, open gate, focus ring sensitivity adjustment, and the ability to turn off noise reduction would be great too.
Johnathan I love your channel keep up the great work
Nicely put!
Great video. Thorough, informative, easy to follow and spot-on in analysis. I have an a7s3 and zv1, and have been thinking about an fx3 as my third cam for a while. Also wishing Sony would update the A7s3 firmware to include the fx3’s quick menu and focus breathing compensation. Also hoping that new tracking ai, bumped up color science and dual tilt/flip screen from the ARV works its way into future a7s3 and fx3 models. My dream camera would be an a7s3 with quick menu, focus breathing compensation, new tracking ai, bumped up color science, higher megapixels and the new tilt/flip screen. Unlikely that’ll ever be the case, I know. But hey, I can dream
I’d like to see an updated A7siii. Although the FX3 is a great camera a viewfinder is still really useful.
@@JonathanPalfrey Couldn’t agree more. Hoping there will at least be another firmware update on the way to bring it closer to the FX3.
With its latest software updates it’s the best small full frame in the market I think.It’s a little powerhouse.
Yes have inspired my cine career
Great video, I have my FX3 for a year now, and I really love it. cheers from Costa Rica.
I own the FX6 and just ordered this one as well. I do wish it had build in ND's but I'm excited to have it.
Great to hear. You’ll love the FX3, very tempted to pick up a second
Good video. I have the A7s3. You've misspelled 'Compromises' on the final chapter. Lee
This was really help Jonathan. Thank you. I didn’t know about the rolling shutter. I just figured since it’s a full frame camera the rolling shutter would be poor. I remember Phillip Bloom putting a speedbooster on the A7s to reduce rolling shutter hahha.
Thanks, I believe the FX3/FX6/A7siii sensor is the fastest reading rolling shutter sensor that exists. Only the Komodo with its global shutter is better in this price range.
@@JonathanPalfrey Wow that's even more helpful info. It's so awesome to be able to shoot full frame and not have to worry about horrible rolling shutter and get those awesome wide shots! Thank you!
@@JonathanPalfreyfor full frame yes. The Fuji xh2s is faster but crop sensor
Great camera! I have the a7IV it overheated on me and I want to trade it in for the fx3
Excellent video! Were you shooting on your FX3 at the end, I noticed a quick glitch at 7:32? Very strange. I hope it’s just YT compression and not your camera.
Thank you again for FX3 insights!
Ah no that’s just an editing mistake 😂.
A-Roll in this video was on the Canon C70
@@JonathanPalfrey Thank you for your reply!
Great video thanks I have used the FS5 mk 2 and I liked it especially the built in nd and slow motion. I have recently bought a black magic pocket cinema camera and I love how the film looks from it. This footage looks great. Does it shoot in raw?
You can shoot prores raw via a ninja v however I think it’s limited to being able to adjust white balance.
We had the FS5 before and I can tell you the FX3 is a huge upgrade. The image quality is much better.
@@JonathanPalfrey I only shoot prores raw on the FX3 and it's miles above and ahead. You now get ALL raw adjustments, don't get the over-sharpened internal codec look and of course the 12 bit color info,
Came here after the Creator movie which was filmed with this camera
아주 좋은 카메라네요~굿입니다.
Good job with the video, well presented and effective.The camera is certainly impressive but I can't get over the mirrorless form factor, I much prefer the camcorder-like FS5-FS7 with their tactile controls and built-in ND filters, if we're staying in the Sony ecosystem.
Thanks. We used the FS7 and FS5 for years and last week I used an FX6. Your right about the tactile controls and solid build you get from a larger camera. That said the weight and some of the slightly clunky menus and operations of the bigger cameras I don’t miss.
For me an FX3 with ND would be my dream camera, BRAW would be nice sometimes too)
@@JonathanPalfrey try the Nikon Z9. It’s a bit bigger, but you get 8K 60p in camera raw.
Came here after watching th movie The Creator. They used the fx3 and released in IMAX. That's insane
What camera would you choose, the Sony fx3 or the canon r6 mark 2? For documentary/vlog content, I also take pictures occasionally. Great Content.
Thanks. Have you seen the new ZV-E1? Might be an option.
I love the FX3 and if you can afford it you won’t be disappointed. Canon are still limited on lens options if you want to get Mirrorless lenses
Panasonic S5ii
graet video actuelly. i want to start a pocast and i need to know wich mode i have to choose?
For a podcast I'd probably stick to shooting in HD
Sounds like a really good camera.
I want two think in FX3, shutter angle and opengate in anamorphic mode. I'm coming from lumix s1 5 years old camera and he has more features than fx3 for 2 time lower price
Panasonic have always been very software rich I guess because it’s easy to add and doesn’t affect any of there other cameras, sadly not the case with Sony however you do gain other features.
Can you have to lavaliers connected to the camera? What are the audio capabilities?
Yeah you can. there's a 3.5mm jack on the body as well as one on the handle in addition to the 2 XLRs.
Looking at the price and raw capabilities of blackmagic, I doubt this is the best value camera, but autofocus and portability might be some of these reasons.
Well, it is a full frame sensor, and it has almost no rolling shutter. No competition at this price point.
@@qiyuxuan9437 Lol there is competition a this price point, you get the metabones on the 4K your full frame debate is put to rest, so it's still overpriced.
The other annoying thing is side by side with P4K there is no difference and the 4k has more dynamic range, if image quality is the deciding factor the FX3 cannot beat the P4K and for the price it is selling it makes this camera truly laughable ,you just don't purchase a camera to purchase a camera, you need to make sure, for the money it could outperform olders competitors cameras.
Check for yourself : czcams.com/video/frOKSDqdEmQ/video.html
Now if autofocus and run and gun are two things you can't live without, then the FX3 makes sense...
But it's still overpriced
@@qiyuxuan9437 exactly and gud also for gimbal user :)
Build quality / Quality control is a big issue with Black Magic
👍
Would anyone recommend this for handheld documentary situations?
Ideal for something like that. Small size, decent battery size and good low light and dynamic range.
overheating?
You spelled FX30 wrong. 😊
The value cinema king is either S5 ii or BMPCC 4k.
Sony FX3 or Lumix S5MIIX?
Tough one, if both were the same price, FX3 is an easy choice. however with how affordable the S5MIIX is, plus open gate and an EVF I'd be tempted. I think it comes down to whether cropped 4K 50/60 is a problem or not.
Soon as we get shutter angle it will be a real cinema camera but wait not til September 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏽♂️
Laughs in S5II LOL JK THEY ARE ALL DOPE
👍👍👍👍👍
If only it shot in RAW. However, here I am with a bmpcc 4k looking at Sony.
Yeah I miss having BRAW when using this camera. It still makes the bmpcc 4K and 6K such powerful cameras. Shame they are more of a pain to use though.
@@JonathanPalfrey I agree! When I embrace the bmpcc's limitations, I actually love the camera. But, when I look at its list of deficencies, the FX3 and the S5iiX start to look pretty inticing. Thanks for the video!
Pretty good video… You get to the point, no rock ‘n’ roll music behind you… My only complaint is, learn how to spell compromise.
Five reasons it’s not. 1) No open gate. 2) No open gate. 3) No open gate. 4) No open gate. 5) No open gate. Shoot anamorphic? Fail.
My experience shows nobody cares about image quality. Because most ppl watch on their smart phones and don't give a shit to just learn that they need to adjust settings. Settings? What's that? Resolution? What the f@ck are you talking about? 😊
too expensive.
Exactly...an 2-3-yr-old a7siii-equivalent that's still selling for north of $3500 on eBay? come on now...
easy dont buy hahaha
@@zechenwei1139 the reason why I bought the A7s3 instead. As what Gerald Undone concluded, FX3 is just a7s3 in a different chassis. For me, the only reason to buy FX3 is the audio capabilities in its included top handle (a7s3 also have that but will be more expensive because its an optional acc) and Cine EI, but weighing about those 2, with my current usage, I can live without those two. For now, the feature that I really need is the full frame 10bit codecs, high frame rates and good dual native ISO, which I already got with the Sony a7s3. If my target clients would shift, I would just buy a proper Cinema Camera such as the FX6 or better.
Seriously.. all this shit is too expensive.. and it doesn't have to be.. think Sony could humble themselves with Blackmagic $2k prices... all good.. with the economy being shyt n nobody being able to buy, the numbers will come down.. also, considering Hollywood is garbage n movies have been trash for the last decade overall.., there's only gonna be less n less ppl wanting to get into this field.. but idk, that might just kill the whole thing.. imagine if there were no content creators / CZcams.. there'd be no market for this stuff at all really.. everyone just fighting to get on a streaming service lol,, idk I'm being extreme here maybe but still..
@@toneohm Yeah I agree, and sometimes I feel like Blackmagic is truly a magical company Haha! they sell their stuff like they don't need to make money
Too much google ads...disliked
Sorry but I have no control over that.
