    Product was as destribed except for the the cells agent displayed the item in a complete package which I thought what I was going to receive but I only received the model with just the camera without the extended handle, which was shown to me in the preview on the website that was slightly disappointing.But other than that, the camera's great

    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!

    This camera is probably the key to my success as a filmmaker. I've been using it for the past month or so and I've got to say every single feature packed into this camera has blown my expectations out the water. It may be a little sister to the FX3 being a crop sensor and all however it still is leagues ahead of what I've been previously using. It's dynamic range is what I find satisfying to exercise, as I mainly shoot in low-light and ambient setting. Right out the camera, no settings changed; the quality coming out of this camera is one that's made to really satisfy.
