SONY FX3
SONY Cameras
With a compact design for solo shooters, for travel applications, and to serve as an ideal B cam, the Sony FX3 borrows from both the Cinema Line and Alpha series of cameras to create an optimized portable cinema camera. The FX3 features all the imaging attributes you'd expect from this class but sports a new lightweight, handheld form with a streamlined profile and a "cage-free" design offering the ability to secure various accessories directly to the camera body.
The Sony FX3 offers many of the benefits of the Sony FX6 but in a form factor closer to the Sony a7S III but with some important modifications that make the FX3 an ideal hand-holdable, streamlined cinema camera. Here are the standout features:
-
With front and rear tally lamps, flat edges, 6 customizable buttons, and 1/4"-20 mounting on all sides, the FX3 offers a "cageless" design for expandability and no-fuss operability.
-
The included XLR-equipped handle unit attaches to the multi-interface shoe, providing not only important mic connections (microphone not included) but also a comfortable and stable grip that's contoured for low-angle shooting.
-
A new AF Transition Speed is available in seven settings for easy rack focusing that works in concert with the touchscreen monitor.
-
Fast Hybrid AF performance that works even at high frame rates of 120p in 4K.
-
16-bit raw out over HDMI in 4264 x 2408 (16:9) resolution for projects demanding the most post-production control.
-
S-Cinetone mode for matching to VENICE, FX9, or FX6 cameras plus S-Log3/2 gamut support and 10-bit HLG.
-
Enjoy worry-free and uninterrupted 4K60p recording thanks to the FX3's innovative heat dissipation system without sacrificing dust and moisture resistance.
-
Access to familiar features from prior models, including 5-axis image stabilization and dual CFX Type A card slots (cards not included). Plus, the FX3 offers 1.6x the battery life of the a7S III.
In addition to all the cinema-specific features, the FX3 is also a great photography option, with a continuous shooting speed of up to 10 FPS, a massive ISO range, and a silent shooting function for weddings and sporting events.
