Why We Recommend the Sony FX30

I've spent a good amount of time with the Sony FX30, and I can confidently say it punches well above its weight. I’ve used it to shoot live events and music performances, and what impressed me the most was how easy it was to get cinematic footage straight out of the camera — even in chaotic, low-light situations.

The compact size really came in clutch. At crowded venues where space was tight and big rigs weren’t practical, the FX30 let me move quickly and discreetly, without sacrificing image quality. The footage I got — especially when using S-Log3 — held up incredibly well in post. I was able to match it seamlessly with footage from higher-end Sony cameras like the FX3 and A7 IV.

What I personally love about the FX30 is how it gives you serious filmmaking tools — things like custom LUT previews, dual base ISO, and real-time Eye AF — in a form factor that’s easy to carry and quick to rig up. Whether I was shooting handheld, mounted to a gimbal, or rigged up with an external mic and monitor, the FX30 felt like a camera that was built for creators like me.
