Sony FX3 Cinema Line Camera

Compact. Powerful. Cinematic.

Designed for solo creators, travelers, and as a perfect B-cam, the Sony FX3 blends the best of Sony’s Cinema Line and Alpha series into a lightweight, handheld cinema camera. Built with a cage-free body for direct accessory mounting, it delivers professional cinematic capabilities in a highly portable form factor.

Stunning 4K Video in a Streamlined Package

At its core, the FX3 uses a 12.1MP full-frame Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor (10.2MP effective in video mode) and a BIONZ XR processor to capture stunning UHD 4K footage, internally at 10-bit 4:2:2 or externally in 16-bit raw via HDMI. With a broad ISO range of 80 to 409,600 and over 15 stops of dynamic range, it’s built to handle extreme lighting conditions with ease. Fast Hybrid AF ensures fast, intelligent subject tracking, while the BSI sensor design minimizes rolling shutter.
