If you have unlimited money.this is a decent camera for the value.Most platforms format footage to be worse quality than this camera, so there is no point paying this much for the high resolution/framerate of this camera if the social media platforms downgrade it.that being said, it takes amazing video

Love this camera so far. It pairs great with my a7siii. As someone who shoots mostly video, I like the ergonomics more on the fx3 vs the siii. The shop was very friendly and shipped the item fast. Originally bought a used like new camera but the shop upgraded me to a brand new fx3. Very happy overall!

A number of features made this camera appealing to me as a solo-shooter. Most notably the good battery life, flip out screen, autofocus, lowlight capabilities, compact design and memory recall pre-sets . I’ve come from the BMPCC 4K which although has the best image quality I’ve ever owned, it’s inconvenient for my style of work due to bad battery life, file sizes and big(ger) body. The FX3 ticks all the boxes if you’re doing a lot of the work by yourself. It’s reliable and very portable. I pretty much only use the 24-70mm Gmaster lens for my work, and its versatility has saved me a lot of time. I already owned a Sony Tough V90 as card which came in handy. This is the first Sony camera I’ve ever owned, and I took a gamble as it an expensive camera no doubt. However, ... MoreA number of features made this camera appealing to me as a solo-shooter.

However, I think it’s a good introduction to Sony‘s cinema line, and I can see myself upgrading to the FX6/FX9 in the future.The only thing that I wish this camera had was built-in ND filters, which Sony really should have included at this price point, but it’s not a huge deal.Overall it’s a great camera and I love how small it is. Saves me time and money from heavily rigging it up like I used to do with my BMPCC 4K (although I still recommend buying a cage for the FX3 as the multiple mounting threads on the body are not good enough)

Makes Nikon's Z-series video offer look like Fisher Price's cameras for kids. Why did I persevere with Nikon video for so long - you can just pick up the FX3 and everything works staright away. Amazing.
I cannot fault the image quality that comes out of this camera considering its size! Its colours are beautiful and Sony Cine Style preset is a brilliant preset which I use often especially if I know I don't need to match to other cameras. Also the autofocus and touch track focus feature is incredible and makes life so easy when tracking subjects whilst walking with them or just moving in focal plans. However, I do miss the viewfinder! I didn't think I would but the screen is very small and not bright enough when outside! This can regularly become a problem. I also think it needs more horseshoe mounts as once the audio handle is on, you aren't left with any room for anything else. A horseshoe mount on top of the handle and/or on the side would solve this.
Nothing to complain about, instead a beautiful compact well built camera.The menu itself shows how intelligent the camera is, and not to mention the S-Cinetone to mimic the Venice Camera.Well done Sony
As of right now I love this camera, i'm still testing it and getting all the things I need to run it the way I want but the quality is really great. top handle not the biggest fan of but still an awesome product.
I’m a filmmaker who is dyslexic. I had been working with the Sony A7iii. Which I loved. But as it’s a stills focused camera it’s menus system was difficult for me. The FX3 has a straight forward menus. I do miss the EVF. Please bring out an EVF accessory. The camera body is tactile and the mounting points are life saver as I don’t use a cage.
I'm new on this bussines, and after a month, I'm looking like a pro, cause the camera it's freaking good at getting great results...
The FX3 is a fantastic camera, with a great, robust body housing nearly everything I need to work as an solo shooter. The top handle with XLR ports is really what made me choose this over the AS7iii and I've not been disappointed - it allows me greater control over the audio of what I'm filming and means I don't have to worry about a tonne of add-ons to carry the audio equipment. The build quality is great, the features matching my work needs and I'm looking forward to getting to know this camera more.
