Sony living up to it's standards - Great camera -

A lovely handy camera, great to use for wedding photography & video as I do for a living. Very disappointing however that after spending such a lot of money on a good camera, there is not even a strap in the box. Sadly I am now using my FX 30 with a canon strap that I used from an older camera which I no longer use.

Brilliant Camera suitable for High End Movies

I have just bought this camera and am totally delighted with it. With it's discreet size, I can take this camera to places where a bigger one would not be permitted. It is brodcast quality. I am a TV & Film Cameraman with 50 years experience in the industry, including 3 years in Hollywood, where I shot one of the first Feature Films to be digitally originated

I bought this camera in June 2024, besides certain "issues" with the noise at lower light, it's a awesome camera, hands down and the image quality is excellent.

Amazing Value and Quality

I bought this because I wanted a reliable camera for weddings and events. It has surpassed my expectations, there's some stuff I have to relearn and things I will miss with my old camera by switching to the FX30, but it's worthy trade off. I highly recommend this to other professionals.

Urgent Shipping was Reliable!

I ordered this in preparation for a last-minute corporate gig, and Adorama was able to deliver the camera within 2 days reliably. Your shipping department deserves congratulations. Also, I purchased the FX 30 KIT version because the extras are quite useful. I actually used the GREEN battery in my corporate gig; it held up quite well in relation to the original Sony battery.

Cinema Line I can buy.

This is my first Sony camera, and I expected to start with an inexpensive full frame. So I love the fact it shares the same body as the FX3 (with fan, lots of custom buttons, solid), and shares the menu with all the options to record. But what Sony did with this model is copy the FX9 recording: a 4K image (including DCI 4096!) using the whole 6K sensor and oversampling resolution and color. So instead of a $3800 12MP camera, you have an $1800 26MP camera, with a 1.55x crop. Embrace the long lens, OR enjoy choices like the Sony 16-55 f2.8: a 24-85mm full-frame effective lens at about a pound! Autofocus and stabilization as expected, I feel there's no better choice to step into the Sony world than this. Lastly, 90% video, shooting indie films, coming from the GH5 and Blackmagic Pocket cameras. Bought here at Adorama, with a Ninja V to record the 4.6K raw it exports, so pleased.

Perfect for my needs

Incredible how much they have packed into this camera ! I'm extremely pleased with the value in this body and the handle I purchased with it as a kit had been extremely worth it. For context I am an audio professional ( mix engineer ). I have a home studio and I wated to bring high quality visuals and content to my brand and this has been the perfect tool.

Amazing for the Money!

To be honest it performs way better than I expected for this price point! Yea it has some draw backs. But what do you really expect under $2k?

no battery info

A massive problem with the firmware update, no battery info. It shows up on the app so clearly a bug. Also why no shutter angle? This is a Bcam for my FX6 these things are 101.

Cinema Camera with an amazing cost-benefit!

I am very satisfied with this camera that delivers excellent image results, 10 bits, and 4k 60fps - exactly what I was looking for. The value of this camera is much higher than the price. And the FX30 has great features that help with professional video production.

AMAZING for video

This is the best camera for video, I'd say "on a budget" but that doesn't even do it justice. Sure it's great on the wallet, but it is actually a cinematic masterpiece. 10/10 recommend!

Great camera for the price.

Honestly, this is probably the best bang for buck you can get right now. Sony autofocus, colors, and just features in general make it amazing. And I've used it to match with fx9 and fx6 and it's flawless. I love it.

Become a master of cinematic storytelling with the FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera, equipped with a FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens. This camera boasts a 26.1 MP Exmor R APS-C image sensor, a Super 35mm format renowned for its wide dynamic range and Sony's acclaimed image sensor technology. The back-illuminated 26.1 megapixels APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor ensures high sensitivity, low noise, and an impressively wide 14+ stop latitude.

Experience the power of 6K oversampling, which compresses a vast amount of information into 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) output, delivering 4K movies with overwhelming resolution. Capture scenes in cinematic 4K resolution with the expressive depth of field, stunning bokeh, and cinematic freedom of an APS-C size sensor.

The FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera features S-Cinetone, a technology that delivers natural mid-tones, soft colors, and gorgeous highlights, producing a cinematic look straight out of the camera without the necessity of post-production grading.

This camera offers three modes for recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve, providing optimized image quality. The Cine EI mode offers wide latitude and the highest possible image quality. The Cine EI Quick mode automatically switches the camera's base ISO according to the selected Exposure Index (EI), and the Flexible ISO provides the greatest flexibility for exposure settings.

The FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera also allows custom LUTs to be applied to the LCD monitor and HDMI output, providing a more accurate preview of the final image. LUTs can also be embedded in clips to facilitate post-production processing.

With Dual Base ISO and a 14+ stop range, this camera provides wide latitude and low-noise images. The Dual Base ISO provides two sensitivity settings - one at ISO 800 and one at ISO 2500, allowing you to select an appropriate noise floor and maximize the camera's dynamic range in both bright or low-light conditions.

The FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera is equipped with Real-time Eye and Real-time Tracking AF, providing dependable, accurate autofocus. Sophisticated tracking features keep your subject in steady focus, allowing you to concentrate on composition.

This camera also supports handheld movie shooting with its Active Mode, which utilizes an in-body 5-axis sensor shift image stabilizer and provides increased stabilization for movie shooting.

The FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera offers extensive recording formats for high image quality and advanced post-production. It can record 10-bit 4:2:2 video internally when using Long GOP or All Intra compression.

For creative slow-motion options, this camera offers 4K recording at up to 120 frames per second, providing new expressive capability. It also offers 4K 16-bit RAW output from HDMI terminal for compatible external recorders.

The FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera is equipped with sophisticated focus functions to handle any situation. It also features an innovative heat dissipation structure, including a unique Sony (sigma) shaped graphite-alloy heatsink, for uninterrupted 4K 60p recording.

This camera is also compatible with Sony's Catalyst Browse and Prepare software, recording five types of metadata: LUTs, image stabilization, focus breathing, camera rotation, and shot marks.

The FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera is not just for movies, it can also shoot stills, making it a handy tool for location hunting. It also features a new list-style main menu for quick access to frequently used items.

In conclusion, the FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera with FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens is a powerful tool for any filmmaker, providing high-quality images, advanced features, and a user-friendly interface.
