    Really impressive camera for the size and value. Not to say it's not expensive, but I really do feel it was worth it as a videographer.

    Excellent camera for the money. If you're using this more for videos than photos, then it's better than A7Siii. A7siii is a better hybrid camera, but FX3 shoots videos more efficiently. I own both.
