About the Sony FX30

The Sony FX30 is a camera designed for photographers who love video and want great results without breaking the bank. The compact design makes it perfect for underwater photographers or shall I say videographers. It's part of Sony's Cinema Line, which means it's made for video but perfect for shooting both videos and photos.

It's like a 26MP APS-C version of the FX3, offering high-quality video production at a more affordable price.

Here are some important features:

  • It can capture highly detailed UHD 4K video (even at 6K resolution) at up to 60 frames per second.
  • You can also shoot UHD 4K video at 120 frames per second, but with a slight zoomed-in view.
  • It has in-body image stabilization to keep your shots steady.
  • You can choose between 10-bit 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 video capture in either H.265 or H.264-based AVC formats.
  • It has a special color profile called S-Cinetone for beautiful colors.
    You can use S-Log3 and even add custom color adjustments to your videos.
  • It can output '16-bit' Raw video for advanced editing.
  • It doesn't have a mechanical shutter like traditional cameras.
  • It has front and rear tally lamps to indicate when you're recording.

Sony designed this camera to help you create videos that look much better than what you can achieve with a smartphone. It also allows for more advanced color grading and post-production work that would typically require a more expensive camera. Instead of trying to make a camera that does both photos and videos, Sony focused on making a camera dedicated to video production.

Now, it's important to note that the FX30 has some limitations compared to the more expensive models. For example, it has a smaller APS-C sensor instead of a full-frame one like the FX3. But if your main goal is shooting video, it has advantages over cameras like the Sony A7R IV and Sony A7 IV, which are more photo-oriented.

However, keep in mind that the FX30 is quite different from most other Sony cameras, so you might need to learn some new things to use it effectively. While it can take photos in JPEG and RAW formats, its main focus is on capturing video. It even comes with a special handle that has XLR ports for better audio control when recording movies. But if you're into taking photos and prefer having a mode dial and viewfinder, this camera might not be the best choice for you.

But let's be clear: The Sony FX30 packs a lot of power into its small size. It's unique in terms of its price and features, making it a strong contender for the title of one of the best cameras for underwater vlogging, shooting videos, and even overall photography.
