It’s easy to look profeshhh!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is hands down the best camera if you are just getting started. I use this for streaming and am currently working on a music video. I know nothing about working a camera but there are plenty of YouTube vids on this camera to help get you started. It’s so easy to make your projects look professional.

Highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this camera last week as an upgrade fresh out of film school. It has been incredibly user friendly, has image capabilities that exceed my expectations, and is still relatively small/ mobile. Best buy pickup was easy, went early in the morning and was in and out in 5 minutes

Amazing camera!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having a APSC camera that shoots 422 10 bit is awesome and the Fx30 is absolutely awesome. It’s got features that are specially made for cinema cameras like Cine EI. I love that it has an internal cooling fan, which illuminates the risk of the overheating in situations where you’re required to get the first shot right. The auto focus is really good, and accurate, and the touch screen helps even more. The 10 bit recording gives your extra room for post production grading. The slog3 has low noise, especially when using the 2 native ISO’s. Low light performance was better than I expected. The rolling shutter is not perfect like a global shutter but is a huge improvement from my previous camera. The best part was that I was able to use my current APSC lens for it, not needing to spend thousand to invest into new lens set. I highly recommend this camera for professional use.

I love this camera!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously had a couple of FX3s but sold them when I had to scale back on my video business. I purchased the FX30 on sale and, sensor size notwithstanding, this camera is fantastic. I've used it on 3 corporate shoots, two of them green screen, and the camera has performed flawlessly.

Fx30
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera for video and sports. Had bought a Sony ZVE10 ii and that camera overheated after 5 minutes shooting in 4k even with a fan. This thing is a monster and shoots all day with no overheating issues. Battery life isn’t great but I can deal with that.

Best Mirrorless Camera on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best mirorrless cameras on the market. I pair this with my FX3 and works really good for matching color in post. Sony's color science is really good and you wont have any complaints with this camera. Shoots super high quality, never heats up and I can pair it with nice anamorphoic lenses!
