Built on the A7S III, Sony FX3 combines some of the features found on more expensive cinema cameras in a smaller, lighter body.
The Sony FX3 is similar to the A7S III. As such, it will be easier to explain what is different between the two cameras. Because basically the FX3 and A7S III are identical.
GSM Arena wrote, one of the main differences was in the design. The FX3 shares the same photo camera style body as the A7S III, but is slightly thicker and shorter. Its thickness is due to the inclusion of a fan which now actively cools the inside during recording. This makes it possible to take pictures without borders even in warmer environments.
The FX3 is designed to be part of the rig and as such has five 1 / 4-20 threaded mounts, with three of them on top. This allows the camera to be mounted in a cage, on a gimbal, or drone. Sony has made some changes to the design compared to the A7S III, including having a dedicated backlit record button at the top, joystick mounted above, control zoom around the shutter button, count lights on the front and rear, sliding power switches, and shortcut keys are optimized for video workflows.
FX3 comes with a top handle as part of the package. The top handle includes an interface audio which is similar to the Sony XLR-K3M without a built-in microphone. The audio interface has three microphone inputs, including two full-size XLRs and one 3.5mm, along with controls for adjusting input microphone.
The top handle uses two of the top three 1 / 4-20 thread mounts, but adds three mounts of its own. This allows you to attach other accessories such as an external monitor to the FX3.
On the software side, the only big change to the FX3 from the A7S III is the inclusion of the S-Cinetone. These video presets are identical to those in other Sony cinema cameras and are designed to give a look in the movie soft on off-camera footage without having to deal with the hassle of grading video log.
That’s a pretty big difference between the FX3 and A7S III, with other identical features. As for the price, the FX3 is priced at IDR 54.9 million. Or Rp. 5.6 million more expensive than the A7S III.
