While this device isn’t necessarily ultra accurate, it is consistent and it allows me to visually compare the DR of the two cameras. So one of the first tests that I did was to compare the dynamic range of both the FX6 and FX30 using my home made dynamic range tester. Sony advertise the FX6 and FX3 as having 15+ stops of dynamic range, while only claiming 14+ stops for the FX30. ![]() It gives me great look images at a wide range of focal lengths in a surprisingly small package. While this combination isn’t ever going to win an award for the ultimate in image quality it is very reasonable. A combination that I am particularly fond of is the FX30 plus the Sony 18-105mm f4 G APSC power zoom. You can use it with zoom lenses designed for s35 (again which there are many to choose from) as well as lower cost APSC lenses. This means you can use it with almost any classic cinema lens, of which there are many to choose from. The FX30’s 6K APSC sized sensor delivers really good oversampled 4K from a scan area very similar to super 35mm film. ![]() But as well as the low price I also I really like the fact that it is super 35 rather than full frame. If you want the same handle as the FX3 with XLR inputs, add another approx $500 to the base price. ![]() At around $2000 for the body only you get a lot of camera for the money. I shot various circus acts with the FX30.įor a start it’s cheap. By the end of the weekend of testing I decided to get one for myself even though I already own an FX3 and FX6. I used it over a long weekend to shoot some circus acts and to perform some basic tests. Please watch the video to see my video review or read on:Ī few weeks ago I borrowed an FX3 from Sony for some testing in order to better understand the performance of this budget Cinema Line camera.
