Please read my pinned comment for my response to the Scott Shaffer's video. I wasn't very taken with the FX3 a couple of years ago, so releasing a smaller sensor version didn't excite me. As you will see in this review, I was wrong about this camera..but some of the things I really liked about it made me frustrated with the bigger picture. 0:00 - FX30 Review 3:14 - FX3/ FX30 differences 4:45 - FX3 new features 5:09 - Focus breathing compensation 6:14 - Autofocus 8:37 - Animal Eye AF if video 12:37 - The Super 35mm advantage 14:01 - Slow motion 16:22 - FX3 V2 firmware benefits 17:51 - Timecode 18:52 - CineEI 21:59 - The EVF factor 23:19 - The XLR handle 24:03 - The rant Free trial for Topaz Video Enhance AI: http://gopb.co/topaz Thanks to @geraldundone Sony FX30: https://gopb.co/fx30 Sony Alpha 1: https://gopb.co/sonya1 Sony A7S III: https://gopb.co/a7siii Fuji X-H2S: https://gopb.co/xh2s Portkeys LEYE EVF HDMI: https://gopb.co/leyehdmi Portkeys LEYE EVF HDMI/ SDI: https://gopb.co/leyesdi Accsoon SeeMo: https://gopb.co/seemo Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8: https://gopb.co/tamron35150 Sony 24mm F/1.4 GM: https://gopb.co/sony24 Sony 35mm F/1.4 GM: https://gopb.co/35mmgm Sony 35mm F/1.8: https://gopb.co/sony35 Sony 100-400mm GM: https://gopb.co/sony100400 Tentacle Track-E Pocket Recorder: https://gopb.co/tracke Tentacle Sync Timecode Generator: https://gopb.co/tentaclesync Smallrig XLR handle adaptor: https://gopb.co/xlrssmallrig Cine EI videos worth watching: https://youtu.be/4oQ1HS1im1E https://youtu.be/eyiVjTrEEbw
