It kind of boggles my mind that people are so into full frame now that they forget...99% of the movies ever shot before digital were shot on 4 perf 35, which is to say an APS-C sized piece of film. The depth of field we are used to seeing associated with Hollywood are mostly based around the APS-C size, not the FF 35mm still frame, which is closer to Vista Vision or 5 perf 65. There is such a thing as too much bokeh. Shooting wide open with a fast lens on FF and having the eyes in focus and the nose soft just looks terrible. Or missing focus entirely because the DOF was too shallow. There are more "super35" cinema lenses in the world than anything else...for a reason. Slap a PL adapter on the FX30 and you can shoot thousands of different amazing modern and vintage cinema lenses. Try that on a FF camera.

About the Bokeh... Yes it looks terrible when everything is so out of focus and you have a tiny think in focus. This is my biggest gripe with the series Euphoria that everybody seems to praise... But the whole series looks blurry as fuck. It nauseates me. I do not understand how it won prizes for best photogrpahy as I thought it looked horrendous. Even the play with colors in photography was nothing out of the ordinary. I don't get it.

@@akhanddbangladesh8274 regarding the FX30 vs BMPCC 6K, for me it comes down to these questions - 1) what do you want more - autofocus or built in ND filters? The BMPCC has built in ND, but lackluster autofocus (and no in-body stabilization). The FX30 has excellent autofocus and in-body stabilization, but no ND. Otherwise, both should meet 99% of a videographers needs. And 2) are you already invested in Canon or Sony lenses? For me, even though I'll need to start a new lens collection, the FX30 is the winner.

Besides that, they can use the extra money on lenses now. I wouldn't even recommend the a7Siii at all today rather the FX3 is the better route to go. Sony just gave new filmmakers even more reasons to stay with them with this FX30 because there is no one else that release one just like they did.

But when I’m solo shooting with no AC and no help, the IBIS, great Autofocus, much stronger lens-to-Mount tolerance, much stronger, more solid body, better internal scratch mics and more dependable software makes it barely peak out over for me. The Ninja V for 12 bit ProRes Raw is a headache but at least there’s an avenue. I bought the original Pocket in 2014 and I’ve been a huge fan of it ever since, but it has its limitations. It’s just tough cause the Pocket 6K pro has tons of great features, and the FX30 has a ton of great features and most of those features are on 2 separate lists. So ideally I’d have both. I just really hate EF mounts. E Mount is so much stronger, if you have a focus motor against a lens, on EF there is play and shift, E Mount is as rock solid as PL and it’s hard to believe. I care about this stuff cause I’m normally a 1st AC for a living, I just shoot my own stuff sometimes. So ideally I have both lol

How would this perform in live broadcast production? I've heard that some cinema cameras have a delay on the HDMI output, which wouldn't work well for live use.
