Here is a little video I filmed during the pandemic lockdown. The password is 1234 

Why aren't F3 prices coming down 😞, There is literally a broken one on ebay from adorama for almost 600$. They are drunk with that price. I remember getting my first sony F3 for 400$ in 2018. I'm such a fool for selling it. Love the footage that comes out of my Fujifilm X-T3 now but the F3 has such a unique sauce, Gosh.

@Josue Nunez Looking great! There is a certain mojo to this image! The nice edit, grade and framing in your piece helps to appreciate the image from this camera, of course.:) What lens did you use? My mini SDI to SDI cable ripped so I got a good exuse not to use this camera, since I need that tasty external 10bit.:)

Thank you! I used the "crappy" Vivitar 25mm F2.5. Part of the that mojo comes from the lens and its imperfections. I say crappy because for general use it has too many imperfections like very clear ghosting, and crazy lens flares. 

https://vimeo.com/476151248 This is a small video I recorded at home about a year ago. I used a crappy vivitar 28mm F2.5 with the F3. I still have some videos that I need to upload from the time I owned the F3. Hopefully can come across another one at a descent price at some point.  Still a beast of a camera. 

oh the password for the video is 1234

Some screenshots from Pandemic time in 2020. Just ProRes HQ files and sigma 18-35. 

HI guys! Sorry this might be against the policy but I have an extra Pix E5 4k recorder with the XLR module that Im selling. I used to use it with my Sony F3. It will record 444XQ files from the F3. 

everything in the pictures for 1000$ 

Hey guys, are any of you interested in buying a Pix e5 recorder? It comes with the box and all the accessories including the sun hood and the D-tap cable. Also, It comes with a 960gb Drive and like 4 old NPF batteries. 800$ 

I still plan to keep my Sony F3. But I have some unexpected expenses.

That price seems far too high, but... you got it with a PIX-E5! That makes it a good deal (in this time of higher than usual F3 prices)

The price was definitely a hard pill to swallow and I would've definitely save some money IF I didn't choose the Pix e5 (yea I had the option to choose) and went for a video assist for example. They are not going around for cheap so that took a big bite of the budget... But considering the Sony F3 came with the 2 New swits batteries which are like 220$ each and MTF Nikon mount I didn't feel too bad about it. The pix e5 came with a 960gb too so I have storage for days.

I used a Pix e5 recorder before and Its just the best recorder in my opinion. The size and the build are truly something special and Im mad audio devices dropped support on it so quickly. Good thing its a tank so it won't break easily. 

Another reason I chose the Pix e5 was because I managed to grab a Sony A7S mark 1 for 140$. After some crazy flipping deal I did a month ago. Now I can fully utilize the Pix e5 capabilities of 444 and 4k output.  

I did it guys. I went back to the Sony F3! Finally found a descent deal on it. 2.1k for all this. Since I don't need the 4k I was between this, a canon c300, c100, Sony fs5 and fs700. 

The F3 with 444 has 850hrs and the pix e5 came with 960gbs of storage. 

Guys if you were thinking on grabbing a Sony Fs700. Go to Ebay right now and buy whatever you see lol. Caleb just released a new video like the F3.

I picked up a FS5 (with the raw upgrade, which wasn't even mentioned in the ad) for £1200 a few weeks ago - that's cheaper than I got the FS700 for back in 2016.

That’s amazing. I Heard of someone who got a fs700 with the raw upgrade for 450$ a few months ago. I need to keep my eyes extra open lol

The URSA Mini Pro is so much better in numerous ways, not least having built in NDs, and better QC. 

Although personally, the FS7 is very close in pricing to a UMP, and you'd get far more work to pay off the FS7 than if you got a UMP, so I'd recommend a secondhand FS7 instead. 

Yea, I was considering an Fs7 too. They are starting to go down in price as well and that camera its a workhorse. Also, Im sure that when the fx6 comes out it will force fs7 and fs5 sellers to lower their prices even more.

Compared to where they were trending to, they've basically nearly tripled vs what they would've been. 

Its crazy how much power these youtubers have over the prices of older camera equipment... If they are famous and they recommend something the prices always end up going through the roof. I got my F3 for 450$ with a bunch of accessories 2 years ago. I was planning on upgrading to the F3 with the 444 upgrade this year but damn I waited too long and after I sold mine, every other F3 that was worth the price dissapeared   . I decided to hold onto my Pix e5 recorder with the hopes of getting another F3 and just wait but ended up selling it (Not a wise decision) since I got a pocket 4k. I want to go back to a proper cinema camera at some point but I don't see the F3 as a viable option anymore because of the price. 

Do you think an Ursa Mini 4.6k is a good alternative now. I've seen prices go as low as 2K in my area (New York).
