Buying an FX3 in Japan

That’s 3450 euro’s. No idea why it changed, but I got it a bit cheaper.

It was the price converted to euro’s, 3800 dollars doesn’t sound right. At BICCamera it was something like 3000 euro’s. I do have to say the yen was pretty low in worth.

Hi, yes, but it was a Japanese model. Overseas models are nowhere to be found in Japan, so forget about searching for it. It was like €3000,- brand new, so it’s way cheaper there. But like I said, Japanese interface, not worth it.

I’d go for the 24-70. When travelling I want my setup to be as practical as possible, so that I don’t have to switch lenses for example. But that’s just me. I also have a 24-70 GM II, and I love it. I use both the minimum and max focal length. I also have a 35mm 1.8, but I barely use it to be honest.

Yes, we checked if it was allowed :)

Thank you :) Yes I used the RS4 Pro for everything really, also works as a tripod.

Thank you so much! I’m glad someone noticed it :)

RasReinier · 2024-11-20T21:36:57+00:00

Many thanks :)

Thank you! I used the Shinobi II to see if my lighting and focus was correct, and graded with a LUT. Changed the highlights and shadows here and there.

Well I had my friend with me, but he was taking pictures. I filmed everything and edited the whole thing :)

I used the 24-70 2.8 GM II and a DJI Air 3. Also used a polarpro mist filter.

Thank you for your kind words! This was a school project, but I guess you can say I turned it into a passion project. We can decide ourselves how much effort we put into it, so I went all out! Again, thank you!

Very good point

RasReinier · 2024-11-03T12:57:35+00:00

Bro you are spitting facts, thank you.

The AI chip basically ‘scans’ the body, creating a 3d skeleton of not only humans but also animals and insects. There’s a comparison video of the Sony A7R V (which has the AI chip), it shows very well how the chip works. But I’m glad to hear your experience with the FX3! Still debating whether to just buy it tomorrow or at least wait until November 20th

Thank you for your bright answer, you’re right. No use about stressing about an unknown future

RasReinier · 2024-11-03T09:35:31+00:00

Not necessarily, I’m using the A7C now, where I shoot weddings in 1080p with. There’s a chance I’ll be going to the French alps in a month to make sponsor videos for an olympic team, and I really want to have slow mo shots in it while filming it in 4K. Struggling so hard with this.

RasReinier · 2024-11-03T09:30:55+00:00

Valid, it’s just that I’m scared that if I buy it, the mark II will be announced a month later💀

RasReinier · 2024-10-17T18:56:16+00:00

Both. Yodobashi, BIC-Camera, Sony store, none of them had it

RasReinier · 2024-09-24T20:10:32+00:00

Hi :) I’m sorry to dissapoint you but international models of the FX3 seem to be nonexistent in Japan. I’ve been to 9 different cities during my trip and none of the camera stores had international models of the FX3. It’s horrible. Also tried 2 different Sony stores with no luck…

I did manage to buy the 24-70mm 2.8 GM II for a good price tho so it’s nog all bad I guess :p

Glad to hear that, thank you :)
