    this is my first real camera and i really appreciate it after learning all the lingo and how to get the settings correct. the main issue with this camera is all the features that sony has proven capable of implementing but they like to cripple certain features so that you need multiple cameras.

    Bought open box excellent condition stating it comes with all accesories and it was missing a battery i was then given the run around by customer service and in store people about just getting a new $80 battery or a store credit or just the battery they wouldnt do that and wanted me to return the product and have me pay for a new one for $500 more instead of just giving me the battery overall probably the worst experiance ive ever had with customer service or best buy in general and i will most likely never shop at best buy again not that they care about that

    The handle is a waste of money for 90% of shooters. Otherwise this camera is so capable it’s will make you better and allow your creative self to grow. I own the A7Siii and the A7iv and the FX30 is no joke.

    Avoid buying open box online. Ordered one in excellent condition it came with a missing battery and then I got the run around from bestbuy. After purchasing a battery it came close to cost of new. Will be returning.

    Amazing Camera

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've got to tell you, the Sony FX30 has truly amazed me. It's as sturdy and reliable as they come - ideal when I'm filming on the move. The image quality is just stunning, even when light is scarce, and the autofocus never misses a beat. I appreciate the built-in stabilizer smoothing out my handheld shots, and the audio? Crisp and clear. It's surprisingly easy to navigate with a responsive touchscreen and customizable buttons, and with Sony's E-mount lenses, the possibilities feel endless. For an affordable, user-friendly cinema camera that delivers on quality, the FX30 is my personal favorite. It's not just a camera; it's my partner in storytelling.
