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.

Compact Powerhouse
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the Sony FX30 for the past 5 months, and it has exceeded my expectations. Coming from a Sony a6400, this was a significant upgrade in terms of video capabilities. First off, the image quality is amazing with great color science and dynamic range. I also appreciate the form factor. The FX30 is compact but still feels professional. It has a built-in fan and long recording times. Autofocus is very fast and reliable. Eye tracking works well even during more complex shots. The menu system is improved over older Sony bodies which is a big upgrade. This camera is geared toward video, so if you’re expecting a hybrid camera with strong photo features, you might want to look elsewhere. But for video creators the FX30 hits the sweet spot of price, performance, and quality.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing camera and i think everyone knows that already, what more needs to be said. Not sure if this could be improved in any ways maybe the higher base iso is not high enough.

Best camera to upgrade to from Sony ZV-E10
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are like me and started out in videography with a beginner's camera Sony ZV-E10, the FX-30 is the best upgrade camera to seriously consider. 120 FPS at 4k 10 bit color is fantastic. While it lacks the photo burst capabilities that my ZV-E10 had, this camera is mainly used for videography. It can take nice photos, but you will have to rely on natural light as it is not compatible with a flash device.

Best Budget Cinema Camera
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a freelance videographer that primarily works with stand-up shows and this is by far the best quality camera at a reasonable price that'll do it all and for the entire duration of a 1 ½ to 2 hour show. I love the look and feel of the camera's body and with a built-in cooling system that prevents overheating while still being able to shoot 4k imagery with 10 bit color depth allows me to get a fantastic looking image with no worry on it dying. Easy to use and adaptable for all situations I need, especially when I pair it with my DJI-Ronin S3 for supreme versatility.

Don’t sleep on the fx30!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been looking to get a new camera for some time now. After countless nights of researching and looking into a good starter camera for advanced video creation, I came to the conclusion that the fx30 is the best option for the price. I’ve had this camera for a couple months and I’m still learning new things each time I turn it on and shoot something. I would highly recommend this as a gateway camera into cinematography.

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.

Best Mirrorless Camera 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!
