    Great camera -- fantastic quality pictures, and has all of the perks of a more expensive camera, with very little sacrifices made. Very happy with it.

    The FX30 is Sony’s most affordable Cinema Line camera, priced around $1,800–$1,900 USD at launch, offering “a full-on cinema camera at a mirrorless camera price point”

    Great camera, no issues. Only giving a 4 stars because I was forced to by the audio attachment on the top which made it cost more money. Best Buy should sell the camera without the attachment like other stores. I already had a credit card with Best Buy so I decided to buy.
