## Description

Introducing the smallest Cinema Line camera - optimized for solo movie shooting up to 120p 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 and ISO up to 409,600 with S-Cinetone and a compact cage free design featuring ¼”-20 mounting points, a top handle with XLR/TRS inputs, uninterrupted recording thanks to a cooling fan for effective heat sink and in-body image stabilization with Active mode for steady handheld shooting.

Review: My Dream Camera! - Without a doubt this camera is everything I wanted it to be and could even go further to say it’s exceeded my anticipated expectations! Love all of its features including the built-in cooling system, recording lights, built-in stabilization, and more amazing components. Being that this was my first big purchase for a cinema line camera, I love the fact that it’s easy to learn your way around its controls and how it’s intended for filmmakers with having that extra option of shooting great photos! (Let’s not forget it’s exceptional low-light performance) Overall, great camera and worth its investment if you’re trying to upgrade your arsenal.
Review: Amazing Camera!!! - Decided to upgrade my primary video camera to the FX3 and I couldn't be happier. I've already had the chance to use it in multiple scenarios from a light weight run and gun shoot on my gimbal to a more fully rigged out set up for a TV shoot. Navigating to the settings I need is a breeze with the new menu setup. I can shoot faster and more efficiently than ever. The ability to shoot 4k at 60fps with no crop is awesome and 10bit 4:2:2 gives so much latitude in post. Also the picture I get straight out of camera with no editing or post-production is absolutely fantastic. This camera is also "Netflix Approved" which sounds great to clients. The features, picture, and small form factor make this a very formidable camera to own. If you are a videographer and considering whether or not to get this camera, I say just do it. You will not regret it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is their return policy?**
A: If sold + shipped by Amazon I think it’s the standard 30 days but you can check the policy on the item look for “return policy”

**Q: Just ordered! will this be back in stock soon? seems sold out everywhere and just hoping the wait isnt as bad as the a7siii launch.**
A: The fx3 is gaining popularity and may be even more desirable than the a7siii in some cases, therefore I would say the stock should be similar to both or anticipate so

**Q: Will it work on a DJI gimbal?**
A: It depends on which gimbal you have as well as more importantly what lens you are using. I have a DJI RS2 and use it with a Sony 24-70 GM and it works flawlessly on it.

**Q: Does it have HLG (hybrid log gamma) profiles?**
A: Yes, The camera can record HDR movies when a gamma from [HLG], [HLG1] to [HLG3] is selected in the picture profile. Picture profile preset [PP10] provides an example setting for HDR recording. Movies recorded using [PP10] can be viewed with a wider range of brightness than usual when played back on a TV supporting Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG). This way, even scenes with a wide range of brightness can be recorded and displayed faithfully, without looking under or over-exposed. HLG is used in HDR TV program production, as defined in the international standard Recommendation ITU-R BT.2100.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No More Excuses....
*by J***N on November 17, 2023*

Ok listen....Let me give you a piece of advice. Five star ratings don't come easy by me. And if you're worth your grain of salt- you already know that there isn't, and never will be the "perfect cinema camera". BUT if there were a camera (along with the A7s iii) the FX3 would be as close as you're going to get for a long time, especially at this price point. (Rant Coming) Ok, so it doesn't have but in ND's, or global shutter...Who cares! The sensor readout "feels" like it has global shutter. Get some screw on ND's or a matte box. Really, this camera makes you face the things that truly hold you back. Like lensing, pre-production, lighting, set design, good scripts, and talent! Some advice here: If you're on the fence and can't decide if you should get an Arri Alexa, Red Raptor, BMCC or the like- then explain to me why we have our work on Food Network, Broadcast Commercials, and award winning film shorts. To sum it all up here (and I'm talking to my younger, film school Canon 5DMkii self here) If there was a camera system that held you back the least in the professional world it would be the Sony FX3 (or A7Siii). We currently have the Red Raptor XL, Arri Alexa mini, Canon C200, Panasonic GH5 (love this little powerhouse), Sony A7s iii, Sony FX3, and Sony A7RV. Guess which ones are the most freeing and generate the most profit. Yeah, a full 5 stars for Sony...
