I use Swit NP-F batteries and they are fantastic. They also have an extra output so you can power another accessory if needed. Mine have lasted years of heavy use. Have also heard good things of IDX NP-F with their Xtap output.

Hard to go past the FX30 when on a budget. Fantastic quality, dedicated video features, huge selection of affordable lenses for APSC Emount.

To the OP, I’d seriously consider the FX6. Having used both the FX6 and FX9 i find the FX6 slightly more versatile. The FX6 is a great camera that will handle any level of work you need it to. You will not get any complaints from professionals in regards to the footage it produces despite what you may read here. -
Yeah…..but I really don’t like the form factor and ‘only’ having two channels of audio is soooooo last decade.

Why wouldn’t they want more of the Pro market? Why wouldn’t they want people who bought a pocket camera to be able to stay with BMD when they move up the ranks? Currently, between the Pocket cameras and Ursa12K (end i even wouldn’t consider that as a main camera) there is nothing to cater to experienced shooters working professionally unless they are shooter/editor that edits their own footage. as great as BRAW might be, no one wants it. After owning a few BMD cameras, as soon as I started shooting professionally for others, it was clear I needed to ditch BMD for Sony. Productions want what they know fits their workflow rather than a camera that has slightly better colours or highlight rolloff. Lack of a 10bit codec is a huge miss for BMD!

Apparently the new camera isn’t called ‘pocket’ anymore. Lots of people complained that it didn’t fit in their pockets I guess. Pretty silly really. I had a Kessler Pocket dolly many years ago…..it didn’t fit in my pocket either but I never complained about it but then I try not to take things too literally 😜

New Full Frame 6K camera looks great (internally). Love the sensor, OLPF, BRAW, open gate, DR looks impressive despite BMD still claiming 13 stops, internal proxies and a far better mirrorless mount (than EF) means adapting lenses is much easier. If using EF lenses, these is an adaptor that has a built in VariND ( I think Meike make it) so I’m not even too fussed about the lack of ND filters. Biggest issue for me still is the form factor. I’ve had a few BMD Pocket cameras from the P4K to th 6KPro and I hate the form factor. With this new full frame sensor, Black Magic have kinda made a budget Alexa Mini LF (BUDGET!) but I can’t see many film makers wanting this body style anymore.

In another forum when people were speculating that it would probably just be ‘broadcast stuff’ John Brawley said “it will be worth watching” . As we know he’s pretty heavily involved in Blackmagic Cinema line cameras so 🤞

Oh that’s a shame. Hope it’s better on the 15. I’m still on an 11!

Can record ProRes to an external USBC SSD. 🏆

It looks like it only has two audio inputs. As a solo operator, I'm using 3 or 4 channels of audio more and more. Apart from that, looks great although I'm not a fan of the EVF. Sony NEED to develop an EVF similar to the one on the Alexa Mini. It's the best of both worlds with an EVF and flip out screen in one.

Yeah, if the FX3 had a good crop mode Id probably chose it as a second camera as I do sometimes need a B/C Cam when working with the FX6 and FX9 so having a FF sensor makes sense but while I can’t shoot S35 on FX3 I CAN shoot full frame on FX30 with the Metabones speed booster so to me, the FX30 is the more versatile choice. Also, when I’m B or C cam-ing to the FX6 or 9 it’s almost always with cine lenses so the lack of AF with the speed booster is a non issue. I’m also a big fan of the over sample the Fx30 sensor does. Looks great and makes the clear image zoom super usable. As an example, I used it today on a small shoot with my Sigma 18-35. Clear image zoom gives me an 18-52mm 1.8 internal zoom lens with amazing AF if I need it and an image that rivals many primes. So versatile!
