If the rumors are accurate, I think the FX5 is going to be a very solid cinema camera. It may not win on resolution, but, considering no one is delivering content above 4K, I don't see why this is an issue.
Coffee Shop is called Khroma in Deep Ellum
Shot this on the FX3 with DZO VESPID’s
My buddy Kais Marz directed this with our company Daydream Media and we created the look and the feel by getting heavily inspired from older perfume commercials and those take 5 gum commercials.
We did this with basically no budget, what do yall think?
UPDATE : so for everyone not understanding coffee, theres a specialty drink that’s offered at Khroma that’s basically a charcoal Latte, plus the whole chrome aesthetic of the shop, go give the shop a try unless you’re afraid…
I’ve been looking for a good deal on an FX30 recently. Ideally, I’d like a bundle that just includes the camera and a couple of lenses, but every bundle I find comes with a bunch of cheap extras that I’ll probably never use or that will break pretty quickly.
Does anyone know of any good alternatives or places that sell cleaner bundles? I could buy everything separately if I have to, but it’d be nice if I didn’t.
Maybe I’ve been lucky but I haven’t experienced this issue on any previous bodies 🤷 so if yall have tips or insight hit me with it!
got a new FX3 from B&H this week. Did some test video, checked it out today and noticed maybe 6 or 7 white pixels on all the clips. Okay .. google it, learned about the remapping function. I run the pixel remap. More tests and upload - so remapping took care of most but still two white pixels on my image.
Do I run the remapping again and pray? Is that normal to have to do it a few times?
Do I just attempt an exchange?
Am I expecting too much and this is within normal tolerance for this sensor fresh from the factory?
I’m looking for a cheaper alternative to an FX3 that will provide the same if not more features, if such a camera exists. I like the small form factor of the fx3, but i’m not rolling in dough as of now to be able to just pick one up. i’m a beginner so i want something more affordable without sacrificing image quality or anything like that. i’ll mainly be using it for short films and docs. i have a bulkier cinema camera (fs7) that i’m still learning how to use, but i do really like the small form factor some of these other full frame handheld cameras offer. again im pretty new to this so im not super sure of everything i should be looking out for. any suggestions are appreciated!
edit: my budget is around 1k, could stretch to 1.5k possibly
Hey yall im a complete beginner and found a deal online for an fx3. Would it be overkill for a beginner to have this camera? Im willing to learn everything necessary and I absolutely love the video quality and performance this camera offers. What are your thoughts? Thank you🙏
I also wouldnt be able to afford the lens or equipment after the purchase until maybe a couple weeks or months from now.

I'm a producer on an indie feature in Los Angeles. Shooting ended earlier this month, and this camera was used for BTS, about 6-8 hours a day for four weeks, mostly indoors. (The camera was not used to shoot the movie itself.) I am now trying to find a new home for the camera -- SD cards and extra battery are also available -- as I am a still shooter only and have no desire to branch into video. It's in pristine condition, too nice a camera to sit in a closet waiting for the next feature film.
If anyone is interested, let me know, or if you have suggestions for places to advertise I would appreciate those too.
I went from an Osmo Pocket 3 to this in 6 months. I've hundreds of gigabytes of data performed a ton interviews and learned a lot in a short amount of time via pressure. I'm happy to help anyone who has questions or has tips they'd like to share.
Hello everyone,
I made a short film within 2 hours as a joke (and to test my 35mm anamorphic lens) as I was frustrated about not shooting anything and whining on Reddit about it. I already posted the YouTube link, but it's 18+ only because of the title. My close friends and mates either love it or hate it.
I did not care about it, but now I like it even if it's technically quite poor.
It was a quick challenge to motivate myself, so feel free to shoot if you need to 😉
I will send more if people are interested!
I use the fx3 for work and just got a personal. What are some must cop recs in terms of monitors/cages/side grips and other accessories? Mostly shoot vertical social content branching into horizontal.
I’ve been using the FX2 since its release, so for almost a year doing YouTube, run and gun travel docs with a friend, and various other vlogs - now I’m needing a 2nd body for upcoming projects.
Id like some better low light - I also really like the cine ei work flow and have the budget for the FX3 but after some research I’m starting to think that the fast AI auto focus on the FX2 might have me spoiled? I do rely on auto focus often for hectic environments and run and gun situations.
Is the FX3 Auto focus really that slow compared to the ZV-E1 or FX2?
Hey guys, I just found out that Sony FX5 is coming in July from the rumors. So I wanted to open a general discussion about it. As a person waiting for FX3 Mark II for a long time. I am a little scared to feel excited about the FX3. Mostly because of price point.
There is no official / non-official information about the price, but i guess it will be priced at 6999.
I would be more than happy to get your thoughts & expectations. You can just copy paste the list and answer easily.
There are already some rumors about the menu system and batteries, but lets see your shots.
I feel like we’re close to a new staple camera coming out soon
I'm buying a sony fx30 for my birthday. I am a film student and wanting to practice at home when I'm not at school with their equipment. What are some basics I should think about getting? If I can go so far as asking this too, general film equipment that complement the camera well?
I was at a Sony event where I was playing with their FX3 to try some lenses and I remember I didn't change the aperture, iso, etc but the shots came out pretty decent.
I wish I had checked what settings they had them on. All I know is the playback was in full color so it wasn't Slog.
Got an email notification from B&H the fx3a was on sale. Next Sony event is in a couple days. Could be nothing, could be the new camera everyone is waiting for. Excited to find out.
Hey there, new videographer here! About a year ago I discovered my passion for video and filmmaking. I started with a Canon 1300D and an iPhone 17 Pro Max, shooting short films and cinematic shots, and I've been learning fast ever since. Now I feel like I need a better camera to match where I'm heading.
I run a gymnastics club and most of what I shoot is cinematic content for it. Training footage, behind-the-scenes, competition coverage, interviews with athletes and parents. We go to competitions regularly so I find myself in indoor arenas a lot, dealing with fast moving subjects and mixed lighting, usually as a solo operator. Having good footage genuinely helps the business. On top of that I want to shoot cinematic videos more generally, for clients too, and I just love the cinematic feeling overall, it's become a real passion.
My budget is around €2,000–2,500 body only and I'm based in Greece. I've been looking at the Sony FX30 and Sony FX3 but I'm very open to other suggestions in this range. What would you go with and why? Do you think the APC-S sensor will be a huge limit for my work?
Also would love recommendations for the full rig around whatever camera you suggest!
Thanks for your time!
