The Sony FX-3 is a cinema camera with full frame sensor (35.6 x 23.8 mm) specially designed for solo shooters, run and gun shooters and as B-cam for the Sony FX-6 or FX-9. The camera has a 12.1MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR image processor. These offer more speed, better performance, improved noise suppression and a larger dynamic range (advertised at 15 stops).
The camera shoots 4K 4:2:2 10-bit up to 120p and you can record externally up to 16-bit ProRes Raw. In addition, the camera uses Sony’s S Cinetone color profile, known for its True to Life skin colors. You can also shoot in S-log2 and S-log3 for increased control during color grading. As with most of Sony’s system cameras, this camera has Real-Time Eye AF, Eye and Face Detection and Subject Touch Tracking. This makes the camera perfect for use with a gimbal like the DJI RS2.
It also comes with an attachable XLR grip. The XLR grip is equipped with an XLR adaptor with two XLR inputs with individual gain control. The camera also has a full-sized HDMI input, two CF Express Type A/SD/SDHC/SDXC card slots and a USB Type-C input for charging the camera. It weighs only 715 grams and its dimensions are 129.7 84.5 x 77.8 mm.
