    • Not at all! Love my FX30, a bargain to say it simple ;- )
    • I'm thinking of getting one in part because of how the FX3 has held its value and how long this may be an 'industry standard' for, whereas other cameras from that era now sell for a third of the MSRP. There are some minor annoyances - like the inability to use the EVF and XLR handle simultaneously (c'mon), and like the 32 bit audio requiring the handle.  But there are also some standout features... Shooting raw footage that is similarly sized to H.265 seems amazing. 5k is a sweet spot for resolution and the image quality of the FX3 never really impressed me. The form factor is a proven work horse and ergonomics are worth a premium. But compared to the competition, it looks a little less sweet. For slightly more money there's the Pyxis 12k... An S1ii is really similarly featured for way less money, though its unclear if Panasonic will ever produce a S1Hii that resolves some of the S1ii issues. The Nikon zR, file sizes aside, is a way more compelling camera for its price. What Sony has working for it is adoption by industry, many accessories, lens options.  It's a tough call.
    • Balls. Sent the S1IIE back without even opening the box and picked up another S9 instead. My first 8 jobs of the year were 7 hybrid and 1 pure video. Of the next 7, I knew 1 was photo only but ‘assumed’ the other 6 were all hybrid. Nope, only 3/7 are hybrid and not worth spending that money for just 3 jobs when 2027 is a bit of an unknown… Unknown as in almost fully booked and every booked job is hybrid, but I am still hopeful for either a genuine S1H successor or an S9II. Or even some kind of Nikon/Sony mashup but that is as unlikely as my Hasselblad dreams… But then also still ‘waiting’ for Sigma to build a sibling to the 28-45mm f1.8 such as a 45-90mm f1.8 with internal non-extending zoom, but probably dreaming there also… And then there is my Leica fantasy, but let’s not go there either.
    • I dip in from time to time what is happening in e Mount land because I am envious of the lens line up. L Mount is decent, but it’s got holes for me that I want filling and I am always doing a slight workaround, but with e Mount, it’s easy. Easy albeit, at a higher price point. The FX5 from what I can see is an ‘FX3.2’ isn’t it? At twice the price you can score a brand new, UK stock, FX3a, the one with the better rear LCD. What has the FX5 got that would tempt me over that? Nothing that I can see and I could pick up an FX3a AND a pair of FX30’s for the same price as a single shiny new FX5. Not that it’s all about the money, but also is. I need 3 video units and a single photo (assuming zoom for the latter) so chuck an A7RV (that I used to own) into the pot regarding the latter. Also used. But that has nothing to do with the FX5. Not really sure if it’s a 5k camera…
