    Best pro camera for the price. It's perfect for weddings, light weight and hard to distinguish from the FX30

    Really is everything that I wanted and then some and for this price it is unbeatable. You get everything here that’s in the FX3 just not that full frame. Couldn’t be happier. Very well made as well!

    I jumped from the A6700 to the FX30 fearing I would regret it because they have the same sensor but the dual SD card and the fan additions are necessary when it comes to client work. The build is sturdy and feels good in your hand, and the display is extremely clear, the red tallies are optional but a welcome addition! Would buy a second for a back up camera.

    No kidding. I previously got the Sony A6400 and needed that upgrade. Paired up with my 35-150 tamron lens, 4k 120fps is crazy good what i intended it to do. Its Photo function is okay, but the video is exceptional. I dont even need to use s-log 3. It just simply delivers for the price
