In this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by fellow creator and Sony expert, Jason Morris, to dive deep into the future of the Sony FX line. We discuss the highly anticipated Sony FX3 II (or FX3 Mark II) and what features are absolutely "non-negotiable" for the next generation of cinema cameras.
We also explore:
The Sony vs. Lumix Debate: Jason’s experience switching between systems like the FX3 and the S5IIX.
Menu Systems & Usability: Why some camera menus feel like they’re working against you.
Autofocus Anamorphic Lenses: The rise of Sirui’s autofocus cine lenses and how they’re changing small-crew productions.
The "Game Changer" Feature: Our predictions for 6K 120p, global shutters, and better thermal reliability for Australian summers.
Short-Form Success: How Jason built a massive following on Instagram and YouTube Shorts by prioritizing high-production quality.
Whether you're a Sony "shill," a Lumix loyalist, or just someone looking for the best hybrid camera for 2026, this conversation is packed with real-world insights from the field.
