Hey, I'm an aspiring filmmaker who is seeking a bit of advice when it comes to deciding on a camera to save up for.
So far, the cameras I've been looking at are the Sony FX3 & FX30.
Sony FX3
Specs:
- Full Frame 12MP CMOS Sensor
- 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 Internally
- Frame Rates Up to 4K 120fps (with a 1.1x crop)
- Phase-Detect Autofocus
- In-Body Image Stabilization
- 8.7-8.9ms Rolling Shutter in 4K
- Dual-Base ISOs of 800 and 12,800 in S-Log3
Sony FX30
Specs:
- Super 35 (APS-C) sized 26.1MP CMOS Sensor
- 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 Internally
- Frame Rates Up to 4K 60fps (no crop) & 4K 120fps (with a 1.6x crop)
- Phase-Detect Autofocus
- In-Body Image Stabilization
- 15.9-16ms Rolling Shutter in 4K
- Dual-Base ISOs of 800 and 2500 in S-Log3
Between these options, which camera is best to save up for, along with its respective glass?
I know I would like to have a compact setup that can be adapted to different workflows, like solo filmmaking or collaborative filmmaking. Plus, I would like to save up for a camera that can handle almost any scenario like slow-paced scenes or action scenes (I may be thinking too far ahead).
I'm learning more about cinematography at the moment, and I'm using my Sony a6300 and a kit lens to start with.
Don't ask about what budget I have, I'm just looking to save up. I'm agnostic to sensor sizes as you can create a good image out of both Super 35 and Full Frame.
