Sony has announced the Sony FX3 today. The camera is aimed at filmmakers, but it is really a kind of cross between the a7s III and the Sony FX6 cinema camera.

Sony Cinema Line FX3 specifications

- 12-megapixel full-frame BSI-CMOS sensor
- UHD 4K video at 60 frames per second (full-frame)
- 4K video at 120 frames per second (with crop)
- Sensitivity: 100 - 409,600 ISO (extended)

For photographers, the specs are not bad, but just like the a7s, this camera is actually not aimed at photographers. You can still take 12-megapixel photos with it.

The Sony FX3 is the entry-level camera in Sony's Cinema Line.

What of course stands out is that the camera has no viewfinder. After all, filmmakers will rarely use one.

For photographers who also want to shoot a lot of video, the Sony a7s III is probably the better choice, but if your focus is on filming, this could be an interesting camera.

Price and availability

The Sony Cinema Line FX3 will cost 4,700 euros and should be in shops in March.
