||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.

Great cinema line camera for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!!!

Best Purchase!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 Cinema Camera
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great camera for inspiring filmmakers on a budget. Has all the features you would expect from a cinema camera. I've had the Sony a6400 which I loved. Had that camera for about 5 years. Upgraded to a Panasonic GH6 for my more video focused needs. Ended up returning it, due to its dirty sensor straight out of the box. (Bought from a different retailer.) And then settled on the Sony FX30.
