Sony Alpha FX3 Cinema Line Full-frame Camera (Body Only)

Well, I have this camera for a while now, I love it definitely, but to compare with the price of it, and how much it costs to make a complete set of it, what it needs to perform its best, is very expensive. And this is not only about Sony, unfortunately all the companies nowadays think about money and profit more than how they can make customers and people happy. So it is very obvious that it is based on earning more with selling more products, rather than making it easy going for the customers.

Having used Blackmagic cameras i fancied a change, purchased the FX3 and never looked back. It's a beautiful bit of kit with stunning footage. I'm now using it as my main camera and contemplating selling my blackmagics so I can get another Sony as a B Cam

I Own the Sony cameras, A7III, A7IV, and A9III. and sent them to be maintained at Sony. I received the FX3 to use in the meantime and I loved it! better than all three cameras I own by far!

I've had this camera for a month or two and on all three of my shoots it has exceeded my expectations in terms of look and ease of use.

I Bought the Sony FX30 about a month ago and I have been In Love ever since! I love everything about the camera and the quality that comes out it. Search "Sony FX30 short films" on YT and you will see its capabilities! Im def happy with my purchase.

I bought this FX3 at the end of October 2024 and it is an amazing camera! such a good platform for all things content creation and more!

After years of waiting and anticipation, the moment I finally got my hands on the Sony FX3 felt surreal. As someone deeply invested in filmmaking, this camera has quickly become an essential part of my gear. Right out of the box, it impressed me with its lightweight and compact build, which is perfect for someone like me who loves the flexibility to shoot anywhere, from spontaneous run-and-gun shoots to more planned productions. What stands out the most is the stunning full-frame sensor. The image quality is exceptional—I’m talking sharp, detailed footage that makes every shot look cinematic. The dynamic range also blew me away; it handles highlights and shadows with ease, giving me the freedom to capture scenes exactly the way I want without worrying about lost details. The slow-motion capability (4K at 120fps) has been a game changer for me. I’ve been able to capture moments in incredible slow motion without any compromise on quality, and that’s opened up a whole new world of creative possibilities. The ergonomic design feels like it was built for someone who’s always on the go like I am. It’s lightweight enough for handheld shooting but also robust enough for more professional setups. The built-in XLR inputs are a lifesaver for audio, saving me from carrying around extra equipment. It’s these small details that make the FX3 so special to me. In short, the FX3 feels like it was designed for filmmakers who are passionate about versatility and image quality, and it's been a perfect match for my style of work. This camera is more than just a tool—it’s an inspiration, pushing me to keep creating and exploring new ideas in filmmaking.

I bought this camera a month ago and very happy to own it as it gives the best output.

I came from a camera that was an APS-C and I would also have to fight the light and adding more. With this camera I’m fighting with the light and not against it and turning light down. Best camera I’ve used plus we got shutter angle. True cinema camera! I was thinkin about buying a cage in which I’m still going to do but there isn’t a need with this thing as there are so many mounting points.

I bought this a month ago and I’m happy that I did.

I have been using the FX3 for one wedding and one music video during July 2024. There was so many issues wile recording. It started disconnecting on and on. I had the second body A7iv but I was stressed and trying to use the FX3 as I’ve setup settings for it. When I look on my memory card after the ring exchange nothing was showing. I send my memory care to the manufacturer to recover and I’ve received the recovery footage but nothing showing what I needed. Then I try to use the FX3 for a music video. There again the operating system was given me many issues. Footage have been recorded but when I try to view them there is an error showing the card is not recognised, reinsert the card. I did many times but the same issue. I insert the same card to A7iv and it was showing and I managed to download to my computer with no issue.

I have had this camera now for two months and was concerned the affordable price would give me something substandard but you will honestly get a beautiful cinematic look that is of breathtaking quality. I’m using the Sony 50mm 1.4 with an ND filter, giving a beautiful look way passed the quality of previous cameras that I had used like the Black Magic series. The Sony FX3 is reliable and opening up childhood dreams of being able to make shorts.

This camera is as bigger a game changer as the 5D was all those years ago. I’m an Arri and Fuji man but the colour science coming out of a Venice2 I used recently was superb. This little camera is the same. Intuitive cine centric layout. Thank you Sony. I’m a massive fan.

I got the FX3 for long-form videos and never had experience with a cinema camera before that. I wasn’t expecting anything too different from my other Sony cameras like the A7IV, and while the menu system is similar, the FX3 is really fun to use for video. I love the A7IV, but if you want something designed for video with a similar form factor, the FX3 is incredible. I love that it’s full-frame and I can use the same lenses across my FF cameras. The video quality just has a certain look to it that’s not as digital looking as other cameras. It’s easy to use and the tally lights on the front and back are awesome to have. The build quality is top notch and button layout is smart. I love the handle it comes with and the XLR inputs work really well. I also was able to add to the handle and rig it a little bit but still keep it simple. I’m also really impressed with the photo quality! Genuinely surprised by the photos. They look like any other Sony. I thought they would be softer with less resolution but they look amazing. Unless you’re printing big physical photos, this is fully capable of photos like how 99% of people view them on digital screens. The FX3 is AWESOME!!

I bought this camera 8 months ago in Dubai, and now the power switch don't work, I have to remove the battery and re insert it to power it. Many times the camera freeze, I should restart it. I didn't expect that. Now I have to pay an air ticket to bring it in the shop I bought it in dubai to repair.

Stabilization is insane, this camera has all that you need for great videos.

latest updates remove ability to swap between pal and ntsc and doesnt allow you to use professional batteries such as Vmounts, or 3rd party batteries

After the shutter angle announced to be included in the upcoming update please make sure we have an embedded false color instead of us using external false color luts that often arent as accurate as an in cam false color can be

Thank good i brought 2 of them, quality image very compact and does everything the bigger cameras can do

One of the best cameras on the market today. Love it
