Complex & powerful but lacks timely tech support
ILMEFX3 06 November 2021 by 30yearsofexperience (USA)
Sony tech support is a call back system which can easily take 24 hours, so there is no timely tech support for urgent concerns. This is a serious liability when using a camera as complex as an FX3 for professional production.

Fabulous Image
ILMEFX3 12 April 2022 by zerodb (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
Classic Sony design which I have loved from even before the days of the Sony Walkman. This is an object of desire. I love the form factor. This is perfect for any filmmaker who is looking for an unobtrusive camera which does not intimidate people. It is chameleon like. It can be stripped down - like I use it - or built up to a fully blown cinema rig. The images coming from this are just beautiful and when "set correctly" it has a close to filmic quality. It is for no reason that the genius DP Mark Ping Bing Lee told me he loves the images he can make from the Sony cameras and urged me to consider these cameras. The one thing I would have liked is true 24p. Regardless, I would highly recommend the Sony FX3.

Beautiful image quality and auto focus!
ILME-FX3 14 October 2021 by ConorD123 (United Kingdom)
I cannot fault the image quality that comes out of this camera considering its size! Its colours are beautiful and Sony Cine Style preset is a brilliant preset which I use often especially if I know I don't need to match to other cameras. Also the autofocus and touch track focus feature is incredible and makes life so easy when tracking subjects whilst walking with them or just moving in focal plans. However, I do miss the viewfinder! I didn't think I would but the screen is very small and not bright enough when outside! This can regularly become a problem. I also think it needs more horseshoe mounts as once the audio handle is on, you aren't left with any room for anything else. A horseshoe mount on top of the handle and/or on the side would solve this.

Small, simple with a wealth of possibilities
ILME-FX3 14 October 2021 by jjj044 (United Kingdom)
The FX3 is a fantastic camera, with a great, robust body housing nearly everything I need to work as an solo shooter. The top handle with XLR ports is really what made me choose this over the AS7iii and I've not been disappointed - it allows me greater control over the audio of what I'm filming and means I don't have to worry about a tonne of add-ons to carry the audio equipment. The build quality is great, the features matching my work needs and I'm looking forward to getting to know this camera more.

Bought at the beginning of the year and highly rate it - footage is comparable to cameras 2 or 3 times the price and has really upped the production value for my customers

Best Cinema Camera on its level
ILME-FX3 02 October 2021 by RobbUK (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Nothing to complain about, instead a beautiful compact well built camera. The menu itself shows how intelligent the camera is, and not to mention the S-Cinetone to mimic the Venice Camera. Well done Sony

ILME-FX3 30 August 2021 by Rhijs3 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I’m a filmmaker who is dyslexic. I had been working with the Sony A7iii. Which I loved. But as it’s a stills focused camera it’s menus system was difficult for me. The FX3 has a straight forward menus. I do miss the EVF. Please bring out an EVF accessory. The camera body is tactile and the mounting points are life saver as I don’t use a cage.

Bought a few weeks ago and loving it so far. If it just had DCI and true 24p it would perfect! Other than that, a great camera

Best Camera out in the Market JUST PERFECT
ILMEFX3 27 May 2021 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
I just got the ILME-FX3 Camera today tried in for a few minutes and I was stunt on how good it performs and along with it I bought 2 SONT CFEXPRESS CARDS 80GB . I just sold my Sony Alpha a9II camera that I bought was a bit complicated for me and did not use much and replaced it with the FX3 where I have a feeling that I will just love it. I highly Recommend this Camera and most SONY products where I love SONY and Apple , But my first choice is SONY since I was a kid till now 72 years old and still going for the BEST For SONY

Back to E Mount after a decade away
ILME-FX3//Q AP2 25 May 2021 by TacticalOneManArmy (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
Was about to buy the A7SIII or Red Komodo but when this was launched I decided to come back to E Mount after a Decade away. And was wowed by the AF, the cool petite body and the Audio capabilities immediately. The S-Cinetone is a very very nice default color. Well done.

An absolute dream. The version of A7S I wanted
ILMEFX3 27 April 2021 (USA)
I've shot a few small jobs to familiarize myself with this camera, immediately (and flawlessly) incorporating it into my workflow. The picture is incredible, especially with better glass. This past weekend I filmed a wedding and it did not disappoint. Active stabilization worked incredibly well, slow motion was easy to get into and out of, low light performance was excellent! This camera is a dream tool.

ILMEFX3 21 March 2021 by 50Cal (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
I switched to Sony three years ago with the A7, which had been out for awhile, and then to the A7RII, but I must say the FX3 is blowing me away. The low light performance and new color science is enough said, but then Sony upgraded the menu and all I can say is it's all you need in a compact cinema camera. Some people have complained about the handle size, but my hands are small and it feels just right. The only thing I am trying to figure out right now is how I import and view the hi-res files once they are on my computer, this may have something to do with registration. Either way, the FX3 was a purchase I'm glad I got, so far.
