Cinema Line FX30

Investing in a lens will give you more than buying the FX3. A solid lens on the FX30 will give you amazzzzzingggggggg image. The FX3 is a champ In low light but unless you’re literally shooting a cactus in the desert you typically don’t need to worry about it. There are plenty of other full frame le

Don't know exactly if any other brands necessarily "match well" with Slog 3, but if i could make a recommendation I would tell you to consider investing in a Color Chart such as those from X-Rite or Datacolor. I bought a Datacolor SpyderCheckr a couple of years ago and it's AMAZING for getting a goo

For wedding photography I think you'd be better off keeping the FX30 as your A camera, especially if you rely on autofocus. The main advantage with the BMPCC 4K is the better flexibility for grading: I have an FX30 as well and while the footage is much more flexible than I feared (in terms of adjust

I have an FX3, FX30, A7V and A7IV and I’d say go for the A7V. A7V has better AF better, better Ibis, is cheaper, sharper image, allows you to import viewing luts, better screen, allows smart AF while in clear image zoom. 8000 base ISO is a lot more practical then 12,800 and having to ND or stop down

If you're shooting the BMPCC 6K the more obvious parallel in the Sony world would be the FX 30, not the FX3. It's half the price of the FX3 but same form factor, it's just APS-C instead of full-frame. It has the same cinema features (shutter angle vs. shutter speed, Cine-EI exposure system for shoot

A cinema-line Sony body from the FX6 on up in my experience are only ever needed on jobs that eclipse a certain budget or that require the camera to have a certain 'look'. While that may sound silly it is usually the determining factor for me whether I bring a mirrorless-design cinema body vs a full

Yo! I would go a6700. Like you said: 10 bit color so grading is fun. It feels compact but not cheap or anything like that. It has the same sensor as the Fx30 from Sony's cinema line so the footage looks great. It is weather sealed, so while I would still be very careful with it - it's "supposed to"

I’m trying to decide between these cameras too, maybe the FX3 too if I find the right deal or can’t pull the trigger before an FX3 II drops and kills the used price of the FX3. Because that’s another thing you have to think about when buying an FX3 in 2026: it might soon be replaced, maybe – or mayb

for the FX30 with that budget the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 is probably your best bet - covers most commercial work and stays sharp. if you want something more cinematic grab the Sony 15mm f1.4 G for wide shots and pair it with a cheap manual 35mm or 50mm. the Sigma 16mm f1.4 is also solid and leaves room

I’d say fx-30 as that’s what it’s made for but you could make any of them work, I guess, especially if you really need photo. Honestly, I’d choose a lens mount first. Then, I’d pickup all the accessories you need: mics and lights and whatever and then buy whatever body you can afford with the remain
