    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.

    This camera is great but we’ll see how long it lasts because I had the sister body (FX3) die after 16months of light use! Was really disappointed in that for a Sony product hopefully the fx-30 lasts longer! If I could offer 1 thing as advice I’d say buy the 4years of insurance coverage!!!!

    No kidding. I previously got the Sony A6400 and needed that upgrade. Paired up with my 35-150 tamron lens, 4k 120fps is crazy good what i intended it to do. Its Photo function is okay, but the video is exceptional. I dont even need to use s-log 3. It just simply delivers for the price

    Great camera that does more then I will ever use. Great camera for anyone recording their kids sports at high school level. Night time games under stadium lights is not an issue for this camera. I record at 4k - 60fps and have had zero issues. Great purchase!
