Customer Reviews for Sony - FX3A Cinema Line Full-frame Camera - Black

My first cinema camera and I couldn’t be happier. Love the features, the looks, everything. 4K 120 is a game changer. I’m really looking forward to slowly building it out, cage, wood handle, rails, matbox, dtap battery, ninja v+, are just some of the awesome upgrades I plan on doing. All in good time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this camera it’s my 5th same one I buy and sell ! I am not a professional photographer but I love to buy the best . Been ill for the last three months but as soon as I get well I will go back to learn how to use it as I’ve watched many YouTube movies . I’ve used it maybe 15 minutes but later I will use it as I bought 8 Lenses but it needs time to learn . But I highly recommend this camera if you can spend the money . Since years I’ve been buying SONY and have other cameras . You can try it if in 30 days you do not like it you can return it just read the return policy that they do not have restocking fee as some has . But from all reviews I read where positive can’t say any negative just perfect.

I got the FX3 as a b-cam for my FX9 and for gimbal work. The dual ISO is AMAZINGLY clean at 800 and 12800. The downside is the menus. Sony seems to go out of their way to make them as complex as possible. Still, I truly love this camera.

Excellent - questionable firmware update / app

I have used the FX3 for some time now full-time in corporate and short film production and it is simply awesome. The Camera had performed well and until the latest firmware worked flawlessly. Since the latest firmware, said it only had to do with the new app, it has been getting a battery error, never had that issue any time beforehand but the second I installed the firmware to the app update it started happening. Linking the app to the FX3 has never worked and it causes the FX3 to crash, meaning it becomes non-responsive and you can't turn it off. Sony wants me to send in the camera and all my batteries, but that would mean valuable downtime. So not sure what to do yet. Back to the camera, before the app firmware update, and even after this, ignoring the incompatible battery thing and flaky battery readings after the warning the FX3 is just fantastic. perfect for everything, gimbal, black arm, Tilta Float. So no complaints about the camera itself.

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 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.
