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.

This camera boasts a 26.1 MP Exmor R APS-C (Super 35mm format) image sensor, offering high sensitivity, low noise, and a wide dynamic range. With 6K oversampling, it compresses a vast amount of information into 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) output, delivering 4K movies with exceptional resolution. The image sensor maximizes light collection efficiency, ensuring clear, usable images even in dim light.

The FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera is equipped with S-Cinetone, a technology that produces natural mid-tones, soft colors, and gorgeous highlights, giving your footage a cinematic look straight out of the camera. It also offers three modes for recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve, providing optimized image quality for post-production grading and finishing.

The camera's Dual Base ISO feature offers two sensitivity settings - ISO 800 and ISO 2500, allowing you to select an appropriate noise floor and maximize the camera's dynamic range in various lighting conditions. With a wide 14+ stop latitude, it minimizes the risk of blown highlights or blocked shadows, ensuring top-quality images in any shooting situation.

- FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens -

After mounting the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens onto your E-mount mirrorless camera or compatible Sony Handycam, you'll be poised to capture stunning, professional-grade photographs with ease. This prime lens, a staple in any photographer's kit, is renowned for its high-quality construction and exceptional performance in a variety of lighting conditions.

Weighing a mere 6.7 ounces, this lens is a testament to Sony's innovative design, offering a lightweight solution for photographers who require a portable yet durable portrait lens. Its wide f/1.8 aperture not only facilitates maximum light gathering for impressive low-light photography but also contributes to significant noise reduction by enabling the use of lower ISO settings.

The lens's circular aperture mechanism contributes to its ability to produce exquisitely round light points when fully open, avoiding the typical polygonal shapes and ensuring smooth, creamy bokeh that beautifully isolates the subject from a softly defocused background. This feature is particularly beneficial for portrait and close-up photography, where the emphasis on the subject is paramount.

Optimized for full-frame Sony Alpha cameras, the FE 50mm f/1.8 lens allows photographers to fully exploit the benefits of the 50mm focal length. When used on APS-C sensor cameras, it provides a longer effective focal length, offering versatility for those who may switch between full-frame and crop sensor bodies.

The lens boasts a fast and agile focusing system, powered by a robust motor that operates with remarkable quietness, making it an excellent choice for videographers who need to maintain pristine audio quality without the interference of focusing noise.

Incorporating multiple advanced lens elements, this lens effectively minimizes lens flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberration, ensuring that your images are sharp, clear, and free of common optical imperfections. The solid metal mount reinforces the lens's reliability and durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of daily use.

The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is not just a lens; it's a professional tool designed to elevate your photography and videography to new heights, delivering crisp, vivid imagery with a level of bokeh that truly enhances the visual appeal of your shots. Whether you're a hobbyist or a seasoned pro, this lens is a smart investment for anyone looking to expand their creative capabilities with a reliable, high-performance prime lens.
