    The Sony FX30 is an incredible compact cinema camera. Image quality is stunning, autofocus is super reliable, and the body feels built for creators. It gives you pro-level video features at a very fair price. Highly recommend it for filmmakers looking for cinematic results without breaking the bank.

    Bought this camera last week as an upgrade fresh out of film school. It has been incredibly user friendly, has image capabilities that exceed my expectations, and is still relatively small/ mobile. Best buy pickup was easy, went early in the morning and was in and out in 5 minutes

    I previously had a couple of FX3s but sold them when I had to scale back on my video business. I purchased the FX30 on sale and, sensor size notwithstanding, this camera is fantastic. I've used it on 3 corporate shoots, two of them green screen, and the camera has performed flawlessly.

    One of the best mirorrless cameras on the market. I pair this with my FX3 and works really good for matching color in post. Sony's color science is really good and you wont have any complaints with this camera. Shoots super high quality, never heats up and I can pair it with nice anamorphoic lenses!
