That's it everybody. I made it to a Gerald Undone intro. I've officially peaked and can go sell all my camera gear and retire now.

That Peter phone call. 🤣🤣🤣

here we are two years later, and the fx3 has completely ended the a7s line

“I’m Gerald Undone, and I watch my own videos at 200% playback speed. “

Couldn't agree more with your assessment of it's value. You're really paying for the k3m and if you like the design of the body... and you shoot mostly video so you don't need the viewfinder. Some people will appreciate the few differentiators it has but I don't regret my a7siii purchase - phew haha. Great vid as always Gerald!

With the internal fan it's like an A7S3: Arizona Edition

Even Amazon describes the Sony FX3 as the Sony A7Siii in Sony FX3 product page description...

I liked the part where you plugged in the sponsor into the review to ensure viewers don't skip it. That is great thinking.

Nicely done, Gerald. You almost convince me to buy a Sony. 😀

yeah very funny start I'm worried about the large wrench's in the back ground What size camera for those? Your Michell BNC ?

Such an amazing review, as always, Gerald.

Masterful work, and loved that ending haha!!!

I would love an updated FX3 review as it’s quite a different camera than it was initially.

This is probably the only channel if one needs a 'real' review. One stop, and you know what to do. Thank you so much Gerald~! :)

I love the way this guy reviews, hopefully the next time I'm gonna buy a new camera, gonna check his reviews first

Hi Gerald: May I ask if you intend to produce a video on Firmware 2.0 for the FX3? Either way, thank you for all that you do. Your content has been critical to my learning and growth in videography.

Great vids, really appreciated. Do you know if Sony have given any thought to bringing out a variable ND adapter? I'm thinking something like a Metabones Speedbooster but containing the ND mechanism and switches/dial. Would be a real draw for people like me that have worked with ENG cameras for years. Keep up the great work!

Been following Peter L for a while, that was a great way to plug his video and make me hop straight over and watch haha.

The best technical review that matters the most!

Was hoping it ATLEAST had more dynamic range. Makes me happier to have my A7Siii. I always watch your reviews first Gerald, thank you for the honesty!!!

"I'm Gerald Undone...and Zebras? I don't need no stinkin' Zebras"

Great ending!!!Great video as always!!!

Hi Gerald! Absolutely love your content! Quick question, does the audio module that comes with the fx3 fit on the A7siii on the shoe mount as well? Or does the mounting bolts/anything else interfere with that fit? Considering buying a second A7siii soon, but might get this FX3 instead for my second (or primary and making the A7siii b cam), especially if the handle and interface fit/work on both cameras. Of course the handle wouldn’t be structurally fit for carrying the A7siii from the shoe, but just might be a cool audio option if it works. Thank you! And thank you for always being the #1 source for this kind of info (though I’m off to Peter’s channel now to watch his vid too!)

Im back to your channel after taking a break from photo/video. Wow just wow the production value my friend it is really something. Your content always has been the best on the subject imo but now its clear youve mastered your craft and it shows. Sony even sends you gear now? From 10k to 250k subscribers? Congrats my friend, glad to see hard work paying off!

Came across your channel a few weeks ago. I really appreciate how clear and honest your reviews are without the brash salseman-ship found on some other channels.

Great review! Camera FIRE! I wanted to ask if everything is sold with XLR together?

That Peter call was just: XD Nice

Gerald - as always my admiration for your excellent reviews. I have two questions that applies equally to the FX3, as they do to the a7SIII: when filming in HLG using the S Gamut3.cine setting (wished there was a BT2020 setting), can one record internally at 30p using the 300mbps 4K S-I All-I codec, or is the bit rate reduced when recording HLG internally ? Also, when importing into FCP, can one convert into a format that is less limiting than Rec 709, for instance a post HDR color gamut that is closer to the Rec 2020 color space ? Thanks, Julia

Thank you for another great review! Can you dial in the exact shutter to help with light flicker like A1? Is there a mechanical shutter that closes when changing lenses like the A1?

Wicked review as always. Loved the ending 😂

I think Gerald Undone has made it. He is the only camera review you want to watch now.

Awesome video Gerald, just kind of curious though because you said it doesn't have face-only AF like the FX6, but does it have the exact same AF as the A7siii? Just wanted to make sure. Love the new studio btw

The ONE review I need to watch. Thank you for doing all the work!

That ending was great.......your thoughts are exactly what I was thinking......No EVF and more expensive. If you plan to get the K3M then it will save you some cash ($178 for EDU discount people), but even then you don't get the mic and if you ever sell the camera to upgrade you can't keep the audio piece anyway so might as well just buy them separately so you don't have to worry about buying one again in the future.....but I could see both sides. All in All.....awesome review as always dude.

Thanks, but does it have the auto-focus limitation of the FX6? Does its continuous object AF mode equal the A7S3's?

This is an automatic like in the first 3 seconds, it's Gerald, the quality will be through the roof. -Jason

This is the only video I wait for when a new camera is released! Thanks Gerald! This was an awesome video 🙏🏼

FAMALAM - I haven't been able to find the answer to this ANYWHERE and you're my only hope - I recently installed LED strips in my studio as background lights, and for some reason ONLY on my Sony cameras I'm getting flickering from them. I did everything all the articles and videos said to eliminate it, I'm shooting at 24fps 1/50 and it's still there. It's not there on either the Canon or Blackmagic cameras I tried with the same settings. HALP PLS FREN

Gerald, all your videos are amazing, thanks. Are you going to review the NIKON Z9 since Nikon is advertising it as their top of the line flagship video camera? Thanks!

Great video Gerald!

Hahaha, that cameo ending the way it did was brilliant. Now I have to go see his video to hear what he was gonna say. Love it.

I would love to see a review of the FX3’s clear image zoom, since the zoom is a unique feature of the FX3 form factor.

Love your videos bro. Thanks

hey gerald great review. S3 dont got 180/ shutterangle.... if i wanna shoot 120FPS the shutterspeed ist 1/120 how i change it to at least 1/240 ? shutterspeed

gerald, you really are the best dude when it comes to camera reviews, not one of the best, but the best. seriously thank you .

Great video mate, seemed like blackmagic took the steps with the 6k pro rather than what I thought Sony would’ve with the features they’ve added

Nice review. I'm hearing some early reports that the way the FX3 handles detail is actually different from how A7sIII does. The image seems to be less sharpened / more pleasing than A7sIII when at the same -7 Detail setting. Have you pixel peaked into that? Thanks!

What mic/s would you recommend to use with the XLR inputs since the FX3 doesn't come with one?

One thing that could differentiate the FX3 from the a7S III is the noise reduction, because the cinema line is noticeably superior in that regard. If the FX3 doesn't have the cinema NR at launch, maybe it could get it via firmware update and then that would be a valid reason to pick it, instead of the a7S III (assuming it doesn't get the same update) for video work.

Its amazing how quickly you have become the best reviewer of cameras on KZread. I wish this was a review of the Sony A7 IV.

Great as always Gerald! ✌️

Amazing review thanks mate.

Thanks for the info

excellent gerald. pure excellence.

What length xlr chord is best with the FX3/k3m combo? Cuz I'm guessing it doesn't come with one?

Does the FX3 let you change shutter speed by decimal points like the A1 apparently can? Something I sooo wish I could do on my A7siii.

Love your reviews man!

🤣 he just cuts off peter. I love it! That was so funny. Alright great video. I gotta go watch peter’s video now. See ya later!

Does it have an internal/scratch mic ? Does it record audio when the handle is not connected ? Thanks!

:D FTW was that with Peter? :D Make me laught how you cut him, thumbs up for including Peter :)

Lol that ending is the ultimate KZreadrs IYKYK moment haha. Well done.

This is a well thought out addition to the Sony line up of video oriented cameras. Having hard points around the camera built into the frame is a welcome addition, one that I hope starts a trend with other camera makers. You listed a few shortcomings with which I agree, but I will add one more... there is no TimeCode support. I read an article how big-time filmmakers may wish to use this camera for on car placements or other uses on set to add shots that can cut in with the Venice camera. Well not having TC is a problem there. Yes it can record an LTC audio track and that is the only option but even the BMPC 4K camera at $1295 supports real TC in meta data.

Does it give an option to use waveforms? That's always one of my biggest gripes about using mirrorless or DSLR cameras. You'd think something being marked in a "cinema" line would have that, but based on your review it doesn't seem like that is an option without an external monitor.

Gerald, had fx6 and 7s3 a while now, i like both (the 7s3 more) but both seem quite soft to my eyes, in 4k. Also, getting a lot of macroblocking issues in shadows, in all I, 4k, slog 3. Would this be improved by a ninja V and prores? Would love to get your thoughts on these issues if you do any more follow up vids.

An update on S-Cinetone for FX3 & a7sIII would be much appreciated. But for now just one question: Is the native ISO for S-Cinetone on FX3 & a7sIII 320?

Does Atomos Ninja V can detect the FX3 S.Cinetone coming out through HDMI? Thanks man!

THE MOST UNDERRATED CHANNEL ON KZread!

Hey Gerald, can you on the FX3 choose Shutterspeed in Degrees?

Cant switch Analog // Digital on the audio unit on the FX3 ? Would that mean that footage coming from the FX3 (when using the XLR ports) is 24 bits audio, thus impossible to play on VLC and non recently updated NLE's ?

I say it all the time. This channel, DP Review TV, and Philip Bloom are the ONLY camera reviews that matter!

Great point! Peter Convinced me.

I can't wait to try this out!

How do you feel this stacks up to the S1H? About to buy one or the other.

U had me at zoom control!!! Wow that's awesome! Love focus ring on lenses but never friggen unstood the zoom feature on a lens. Also thanks for the sponsor clarification. Hmm. Idk how much i like no view finder. I currently. literally never use one but my GF wont use the camera outside of the viewfinder.

you save my budget! u r the best gerald

Does it have the electronic ND and what recorder can be used to capture the full 16bit raw signal?

Absolutely brilliant camera for professional video work. Powerful and reliable. The XLR inputs and the active cooling system are a major update. Impressive package in such a compact cinema camera. Sony really nailed it, well done.

I'm Gerald Undone, and my favorite log is S-Log.

I like the more video-centric nature of the FX3 vs A7S III. To me the five mounting points are gold, and the handle/XLR is appreciated. I just wish Sony would learn the value of shutter angle and anamorphic support. As a result this camera can only ever be a B-cam, but for those times when low light performance, 4K/120, and better AF are required, it earns its place in my studio.

@@therealrockguru I currently use several cameras including the Sony A7S II, A7R II, ZV1, ZV-E10, JVC LS300, Panasonic DVX200, GH5 M2, GH5S, G9 and GoPro as main cameras, depending on the job requirements. They each have pros and cons, but after the big announcement of the last 24 hours, I suspect the Panasonic G9 II is likely to become my main camera, although it will take using it before I can be certain. I keep getting sucked in to using Sony cameras, but Panasonic stabilization, anamorphic support, shutter angle, menus, and ergonomics, as well as the smaller MFT lenses always pull me back. The rock solid AF of the new camera means I may have finally found my perfect camera. I won't get rid of my Sony cameras, but I find myself using them less and less over time.

Thank you! Review and hitting all that matters!

You didn't talk about external recording, will it still do 16 bit 4k raw?

Hey Gerald I know you're the more techie KZreadr when it comes to this stuff. Do you know if the FX3 "can" export 4k 120 over hdmi to the atomos ninja v+ if not is this something that can be updated with a firmware update to the camera? Looking to get the atomos ninja v+ but not sure it's worth it if I won't be able to record 4k 120 now or In the future.

this reminds me when a7c came out, it's like a7iii with shaved off evf,,,,,,,,, fx3 is like a7s3 with shaved off evf + vents, body lights & more

I'm a big fan of the new canon stuff and the zoom f6 for my personal use, but I've always used Sony cinema and camcorders in the field. This is going to be a consideration for my new field kit mainly because of the form factor. (Action documentary work) Too bad it's heavier than the a7s3.

Please review the BMPCC6K Pro as soon you get your hands on one!!! We love you ❤️

Could someone help me out with a question? I use a picogear mic system with TRS, it works fine plugged into the top handle but when I use the audio in jack on the body I get nothing. Anything I'm missing? Any advise is greatly appreciated.

I really think they should have included DCI 4K with the FX3 to make it more distinguished from the A7SIII. That would not cannibalize the FX6 because that one has the variable ND filters and some other stuff......they can still include the DCI4K to the FX3 with a firmware. They really should. Not having the DCI 4K (but having the viewfinder) can be the special thing for the A7SIII. Besides my remark above ....as always the best review on the internet...thanks.
