The Cine-D lab tests of the Sony cameras doesn't technically show a greater overall dynamic range just a greater dynamic range above the noise floor. The total patch size for the FX3 was only 14.6 stops where as the Pocket was 15.7; however, the FX3 has 12.4 stops at a S/N ratio of 2 and 13.6 at an S/N ratio of 1 where as the Pocket has 11.8 stops at a S/N ratio of 2 and 12.9 at a S/N ratio of 1, which means the remainder lie in the noise floor. Also remember the FX3 has noise reduction applied in camera, which is going to increase the baseline for its usable dynamic range out of camera while reducing the detail. With that said the Pocket in RAW also has highlight recovery which in certain circumstances can get one up to another stop and a half in the highlights. For things like clouds, highlight recovery is fantastically useful ; however, for skin tones the colors get a bit janky. The tests in this video showed that exact jankyness because the scene wasn't lit and exposed ideally for the pocket. The end result, in my opinion is this video gives a false impression that the pocket is the weakest of the cameras when in actuality it has better dynamic range potential if things are properly exposed for it, post noise reduction is used, and highlight recovery is used in the proper situations.

You have conducted a very important and helpful test. Many people are now choosing between FX30, BM6K and H2S. Thank you very much!

The FX30's noise doesn't look too bad at higher ISO's, and I like that the colours mostly stayed intact.

Great video, would love to see FX30 vs A7 IV

Do you have a compatarive video like this betwen fx3, r5 and r5c and if dont, which camera do you think its better for video??? Thankyou my friend!!!

Question on 8:30 mark about th dynamic range, at what iso this was shooting? I ask because blackmagic cameras are tircky in the way they use the dunamic range for example i will shoot at iso 1250 on +4 stops and iso 400 or 3200 on -4 stops for better results since this is where they suggest on their offcial charts. And sony cameras has no indication on dynamic range interpretation on the camera so best is use native for those i guess

Thank you for these tests. They have made me feel good about my picking up the FX30. The slight magenta shift in the FX30 from under exposure I believe can be tackled in post. Overall, the FX30 seems to perform quite well next to the FX3 and P6K Pro.

However the quality of the noise in the first place does matter and I find the pocket 6K sensor to have quite a bit of chroma noise at high isos which isn’t ideal. I didn’t record raw on the sonys for multiple reasons. Firstly it wasn’t enabled on the ninja V for the FX30 yet as this was a pre-release camera. Secondly you have to add a Ninja V which is an extra cost. So wouldn’t be fair in a comparison like this to the pocket 6K. I agree on the screens point though!

FX30 is APS-C, while 6KPro is Super35. Advantage goes to FF Fx3.

Best test, as no one is really is going to be shooting at those crazy ISO levels, is just line up each camera, shoot a brief scene that is properly exposed and graded, then let everyone know why the Blackmagic image is superior to the Sony.

The dynamic range distribution changes depending on which iso setting you are on, it seems that you were somewhere at iso 400 or below with the blackmagic? To distribute the stops for overexposure, you need to be at a higher iso, barely under the second native iso, like 1600, but below 3200 (2nd native iso). There is a nice graph of the distribution of the dynamic range stops at different iso values if you google it.

@judnichols

Жыл бұрын

This I did not know. So ideal shooting is just below 3200?

@zechenwei1139

Жыл бұрын

So there are basically two separate circuits for the two sets of native ISOs. For the pocket 4k, the second “stage” starts at 1250 and ends at 6400, though the “native” being 3200.(that doesn't matter because you can change the iso values in resolve within the stage’s range) and changing to the second ISO stage MOVES the entire dynamic range down, so the highlights are more likely to be clipping with similar exposures, but you get more stops in the shadows. So technically you should use the first stage ISOs(100-1000) to get the most stops above 0ev. There’s a very clear chart on blackmagic’s website showing how selecting the two different native ISOs shifts your dynamic range.

@zechenwei1139

Also, if you are shooting BRAW, the ISO values are only recorded as metadata. so changing your ISO within the range of each "stage" during a clip will not change the actual exposure of the video(when played back in Resolve), unless you jump between the two native ranges. That said, everything above 6400 is a different story, I believe.

@@quiztasiarocks What genre do you shoot? XH2S seems reliable for interviews or tracking shots. The only major downside I see right now is the lack of touch to track in 2022. Canon has been doing it since 2017, and the XH2S does it in stills mode. Not sure why it's not available in video.

@@quiztasiarocks Yes both Canon and Sony have vastly superior AF tracking in video, if you really need to depend on AF on a regular basis then i would not get an X-H2s. For me personally, i use AF on some shots only, the other advantages make up for that.

I think - FX30 wins

Sony really neutered the FX30 by not giving us a 6k resolution recording mode. It has the media speed and processor capable for it... they purposely left it out which is dumb.

I don't know what's happens with my fx 30 compare everyone been so exciting and saying how amazing and good pro this camera is on youtube. Our studio received it a while before release. We tried it for 3 projects, and no one likes it.. We compared to the image from bmpcc, fx3, c70, komodo, even non video focused camera like Eos r5 r6.. the new fx 30 seems a very budget based camera that gives up a lot of its quality on the final video output. In a simple word, really bad... I would only use it if I'm doing non pro job, or just play for fun. It's not even good for youtuber since almost all camera I metioned above can beat it. The only advantage is probably price, this is to be honest just another a6000 or zve10 camera with fx3 shell, it's not at the same level as fx3 at all. far behind. But good for sony's profit since the price and the appearance of camera actually affect their sale over performance when in amature market.

Interesting. What did you think of the results from my test here? Did they match with what you were seeing?

@@zachk.5597 to be specific, the image is not as clean as fx 3, or not as sharp as bmpcc 6k, and the output is always too "digital" and some low bit rate video sort of feeling, and the crop is way too much when use high frame rate, since this is a 2022 camera, and really not that budget friendly if you compare something also new in 2022 , the fujifilm xh2s. Fx30 is only good if you already in sony eco system and can't afford another fx3. Otherwise, just go double fx3 for works. No point to purchase the fx30 for secondery camera since it's way behind fx3.

@@carlyates2487 Hi, your result is pretty accurate to be honest. However, in our experience the noise lever and image quality was way behind our expectation, we were really exciting for this new s35 super compact camera body especially after use the xh2s that is also s35 and released just not long ago of fx30. we were thinking about, well Sony can't win fuji color that's for sure, but at least give some fx3 level low light performance since it's appear exactly the same as fx3. But in reality, the low light performance, noise level is bad, image clarity is not as good as other s35 6k camera, and color won't even matching other Sony cinema camera (it's not matching fx3 or fx6, especially compare to fx6,the fx30 is way too green), and final output image looks really "digital", not due to too sharp compare to fx3,6, bmpcc is sharper but looks organic. I think fx30 is not ready to be called a "cinema" camera, it's most likely a high performance compact video camera, maybe some future firmware will give some better result, currently it's not worth the price imo, we got so many better options, newly released does't mean it's the best.

X-h2s wins

Auto focus lol

6k pro should improve...

From what I know 6k, 6k g2 and 6k pro has the same sensor. The difference should be when usiing different iso's for different scenerios.

FX3 is the KING!
