Sony FX2 vs FX3: Why Native ISO Matters

If you’re here wondering if you should purchase the FX2 or the FX3a, you can learn a lot more about those cameras here. When it comes down to it, the higher native ISO on the FX3 is going to be the deciding factor. As a production company that does everything from working on sets with controlled lighting to covering events in all types of lighting situations - we will always pick the FX3. If you are a run and gun documentary style shooter than you should be picking up the FX3. If you are always finding yourself in a controlled lighting environment, or focus mostly on stills and want to get into video - the FX2 is probably the right choice for you! Whereas the blog I linked above is a really good overview of both cameras, this one just focuses on what I think is the most important part- Native ISO.

Sony FX30 vs FX2: Comparison Guide

Cutting to the chase here- I think the FX2 will put the FX30 out of business. I’m confused by the release of the FX2 because of how close it is to the FX30… it’s just a tiny bit better where I don’t know why you’d purchase the FX30 anymore…then again I’d probably get the FX30 ONLY so I don’t have that annoying viewfinder in my way.

I think that these are both really good starter cameras, but if you’re seriously looking to start a career in filmmaking and videography know that at some point you will have to upgrade to the FX3 or higher.

Sony FX2 vs FX3: Comparison Guide

If you’re looking for a quick answer - here is my take: If you prioritize photo and are looking for a camera that can take video get the FX2. If you prioritize video and take photos here and there, like we do, get the FX3. If you are a serious video production company - don’t expect to rely on that FX2 as your main workhorse to get your job done the right way.

There is no need to rush to the store to replace your FX30 with an FX2. I think there is no harm in doing that because I think there is a better case for comparison between those two cameras vs the FX3 - but that’s for another blog!

Today we are comparing the FX3 and the FX2 so you can make a really informed choice on which will be better for your production needs.

As a video-first production company based in Boston, we’re still team FX3. But let’s be clear: the FX2 is still a very cool camera with serious potential for hybrid shooters, content creators, and anyone who wants a powerful full-frame camera with incredible stills capabilities.

Also… I think the eye piece would drive me absolutely nuts.
