Sony FX3 Full-Frame Cinema Camera
The Sony FX3 is the most compact entry in Sony’s esteemed Cinema Line, expertly bridging the gap between the Alpha mirrorless series and high-end cinema glass. Engineered for solo operators, travel, and high-end B-cam applications, the FX3 packs a 12.1MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR processor into a rugged, handheld form factor. With its internal cooling fan and industry-leading low-light performance, this camera is designed to handle grueling production schedules while delivering the iconic “Sony look.”
Cinematic Imagery & Advanced Processing
12.1MP Full-Frame Sensor: Optimized for video, this sensor provides a massive 15+ stops of dynamic range and a native ISO range that expands up to 409,600. It delivers stunningly shallow depth of field and beautiful, creamy bokeh.
S-Cinetone™ Color Science: Achieve the same cinematic color and natural skin tones found in Sony’s high-end VENICE and FX9 cameras right out of the box, significantly reducing your time in post-production.
4K 120p & 10-bit Recording: Capture ultra-smooth slow motion in 4K at 120fps. Internal recording options include high-quality 10-bit 4:2:2 All-Intra and Long GOP codecs, or output 16-bit RAW via HDMI to external recorders.
Fast Hybrid AF: Even when shooting solo at wide apertures, the 627-point AF system with Real-time Eye AF and tracking ensures your subject stays tack-sharp across 89% of the frame.
Ergonomics & Professional Workflow
Solo-Operator Design: The compact body features five 1/4″-20 threaded holes for a “cage-free” setup, though this unit includes an upgraded rigging option for added protection and mounting flexibility.
Active Cooling: An internal silent fan and heatsink prevent overheating, allowing for uninterrupted 4K/60p recording—a critical feature for long interviews and live events.
Pro Stabilization & Audio: Features 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) for smooth handheld work. The camera supports up to 4-channel 24-bit audio recording and includes three tally lights (front, top, and rear) to indicate recording status.
Firmware v.2.0 Ready: This version aligns the workflow with the Cinema Line, offering Cine EI log shooting modes, user LUT import, and timecode sync capabilities.
Condition & Included Accessories
Physical Condition: The camera is in excellent functional shape with only a very small, light scratch on the rear LCD screen, which does not interfere with visibility or menu operation during use.
Top Handle Note: Please be advised that the original Sony XLR top handle is NOT included with this unit.
Upgraded Rigging: This camera comes equipped with the Falcam Quick Release Camera Cage V2. This premium cage provides enhanced protection, multiple mounting points, and a seamless quick-release workflow for switching between tripods and handheld rigs.
