The Sony FX3 is Sony\u2019s latest release in their cine camera line. It looks to pack a real punch, taking many of the great features seen in the FX6 (more on that soon) and cramming them into a very small, durable body. With the astonishing ability to shoot 120p 4K, one would worry about overheating but fear not! The active cooling system works wonders here. The film camera also comes with a handle, which proves very useful in getting some beautifully low, swooping shots, as well as extending the camera\u2019s audio capabilities. This is a winner – certainly one of Sony\u2019s best movie cameras. If you want to learn more about the FX3, our article covering the\u00a0FX3 vs A7S III<\/a>\u00a0is well worth checking out.<\/p>\n
