stop sleeping on this cinema camera 

It’s just about pairing the right lenses with the system. If you always use ff lenses on a s35 camera you will always feel like you’re missing something. Pair lenses made for s35 with the camera and the FOMO goes away.

Super 35 has pretty much always been the default for movies. Almost all the classics you know and love were shot on S35. Full frame is/was a stills camera term. It’s considered large format in filmmaking. Newer cameras have become popular, but S35 is still the default. Arri’s newest flagship camera is S35. The most important thing to do is choose a format that fits your story. No one will think less of your movie if they find out it was shot on a S35 camera.

I’ve used full frame for 8 years and bought my wife a a6600 recently and I can’t believe how close the image quality is.

Go full frame bro. You won't regret it.

If its to convince you for video that's simple, loads of major Hollywood films use the Arri Alexa mini which is super 35, and for the most part they also only deliver in 2K because the majority of cinemas only have 2K projectors - people caring about 4k or 6K this and full frame that is just utterly pointless

it's the Gh5 of sony cameras

I was using a canon r6 for photos and videos for a year and I decided to buy a Sony fx30 and it’s amazing! Perfect for all my video needs I love it!

theres a video on how i use filmbox on my main channel, i dont think im particulalry well versed in color grading i just sort of wing it as i go. thanks for watching!

Thanks! I use Scatter by Filmbox. It’s a post diffusion plugin. On my main channel IMPATRICKT - there’s a film emulation tutorial. I still use that setup today.

​@@sloppysteaksthanks a lot for the quick answer. I'm subscribed to both channels and will check that out right now!

I am constantly. This camera sucks!

always appreciate you stopping by!

once they added 48 it didnt matter anymore - when i switch to 60 it changes the shutter speed anyways

You use shutter speed to expose. I use shutter angle to control motion. We are not the same (obvs a joke in case this flies over people's heads)

Which could be fixed with a simple firmware update

i use shutter angle cause im too lazy to switch when choosing different framerates (we are not the same) @@khoinguyen5063

@@sloppysteaks Depends on the work you do. Light banding is still a massive issue when filming events, as you don't always have control of what some venues use for lighting. Often, it's obsolete lighting flickering at different frequencies. As much as I love my FX3, A7Siii, and likely the FX30, not having shutter angle in that context is an issue. Otherwise, fire away man, it's a solid piece of kit for the price, especially paired with some FF PL glass and a focal reducer.

good thing there's no real cinematographers on this site

beauty combo

If you’re mostly doing photography then you should go Sony a7iv or similar. thnx for watching!

what bugs you about the sony? (i also came from lumix and still shoot lumix)

Dangerous question... might get long... my lack of muscle memory and experience with the camera must be the biggest issue here. it's the one or the other setting, that i can't manage to find when its urgent and stuff goes fast paced. since it's mostly corporate run and gun or multi-cam that we do, working with 2 FX6 some blackmagic pockets and my own cameras (GH6, S5, JVC LS300) the fx 30 is not in use as often and ends up being the wirelessly transmitted cam on a gimbal or a far of wide counter shot most of the time. not fun to get to know the camera then. I'm sure some days of focused work with the fx30 camera would "debug" it for me it's just my habbits/ my brain and it's prefered logic i guess - hated to work with FX6, too (still kinda do) but i got used to it and know the essential stuff. what makes you prefer/look at the sony/ what is missing on the lumix'? @@sloppysteaks

i wouldn't choose MFT anymore unless some sort of built in booster system comes out.

HAHA

Zero denoising! I shot at 800 🙏

@@sloppysteaks I see, that make absolute sense now!

thanks! yeah and remember the 6700 is the exact same sensor. your image quality won't improve with it.

@@sloppysteaks yes I know I wassnt looking to switch for improvement but as a bit of a downgrade. I guess I would fall under the line of a hybrid shooter but I lean more so to the video side of things, photos are still a huge part of my work. I went with the fx30 to get the ergonomics of a cinema camera but also still be able to take quality photos. But I’m not going to switch.

No idea

Garbage camera that’s so overpriced it makes me want to ditch Sony.

Just wing it. Keep experimenting

no complaints - the tilta is over priced and i hated my original nano

yeah the original nano is trash. but this new one shall be good. thx for the quick response ^^@@sloppysteaks

Peaking isn’t connected to lenses. It works with anything.its just analyzing the image for the sharpest pixels.

@@sloppysteaks I thought that was the way it worked. I figured my question would be dumb😂

thank you! yeah it means I’m slower to upload but I like to properly use stuff for a while.

Slog3 iso 800 thnx - I never overexpose waste of time

@@sloppysteaks wtf youre breaking the rules that this religious community set in stone :) ? So you had to denoise in post?

@@denisk.4092 zero denoising

you’d make an FX30 sing for sure

i've never denoised FX30 footage, funny enough the last time I had to use Neat Video was on the a7siii. LOL

Bro I have never used SDI in my entire life. True story.

@@sloppysteaks I mean, exactly. The only reason I miss it is because I’m used to it - that’s it! So it’s on me, not the camera hahaha. The value for money is crazy

no lens videos i hate reviewing gear

yeah and the rolling shutter is not an issue - watch my video "a cool f'n car" on my channel. all handheld fx30 i went crazy shaky.

@@sloppysteaks I was filming the subway the other day with the fx30 and its the only time I really noticed it - but again thats an extreme use case with a pretty fast moving subject. The only thing that would be able to fix that is a global shutter.

@@spencertorok i mean its sort of like the noise thing... how many movies have rolling shutter pans, and crazy amounts of noise - i think we're getting too influenced by marketing. it just doesn't matter imo - but if it bugs you that's totally cool. if it's under 20ms im happy.

@@spencertorok Hey! I've just checked cined and dpreview and it seems the rolling shutter on c70 is 15.6 whereas FX30 has 16.1. So I'm not sure why you are concerned!

I own an FX30 but I would never trade a C70 for an FX30 ! Dude you have a DGO sensor and internal ND filters !

ive told lumix in person multiple times to make a fx3/fx30 style camera. if they did i would probably ditch sony - but until then im very happy with the fx30.

as much as I like the FX3/30 body design, I love the EVF even for video. I have both the S5iiX and the OG S5 and using the S5 like you do with the FX30 just on the street, especially with vintage primes I love how well it works and helps me focus.

fx30 no hesitation imo

nothing

Did you not watch this video lol I will not compare them

@@sloppysteaks lol thank you Patrick for replying ❤️ yes you mentioned briefly about lumix s5ii with fx30, also I really connect to the thing that you mentioned that a video camera should have build different and not just hybrid body. That’s something I feel good about fx30 everytime I pick it up. It’s just that I am able to sell my fx30 for the price of lumix S5ii, I am just thinking solely about video image quality. So please share your thoughts brother ❤️ love from canada

100% - I mean ideally a mark II of the FX3 has a crop mode but I’m starting to doubt it. imo the ideal camera is full frame with a full featured S35 mode (like the burano)

@@sloppysteaks that was such a bizarre shock when I first bought my FX3. I was digging through every menu for apsc. And it just wasn't there. Even though it was on my a73. You can technically zoom in to APSC crop with clear image zoom.. but it's just clunky

@@ScottJeschke it’s also strange that Sony doesn’t give you the full 6k on the FX30 over HDMI - I don’t really care about raw but if it did open gate out the HDMI on the FX30 that would be awesome. It’s got a weird cropped 4.6K ProRes raw mode. I use clear image zoom on my a7iv sometimes to go like 1.3x and I can use the nightwalkers on it in near FF. I’ve always wondered if clear image is worse on FX3 than a7iv because it has less resolution. who knows. that’s some Gerald shit to figure out.

@@sloppysteaks thank God for Gerald , haha. Yeah, I feel like open gate could easily be a firmware offering. But it's just sony being Sony, and not letting us have it all. I have to imagine the a74 has better clear image zoom than the FX3 with that 7K sensor. Personally, I've never been blown away by clear image zoom on my FX3. On the other hand, Gawx uses it all the time, and his stuff makes my stuff look like it's shot on Fisher-Price, so what do I know? 😂

I thought it would be my b cam but now it’s my main camera

interesting i mostly use the internal battery its been great

@@sloppysteaks I havem on usbc to outlets but when I took it out on the field, it felt like 1/2 of what my s5 battery could hold. But I think I have to clarify, it’s long form documenting stuff so I have it recording for long periods of time vs periodically 👍🏼. Thats such a minor thing though, cameras are so good these days.

couldn't pay me to use a blackmagic camera today
