Things are getting a little confusing over in the world of Sony digital cameras. Until now, those of you filmmakers who had\u00a0just<\/em>\u00a0purchased the brilliant Sony a7S III were probably feeling very satisfied and secure in your camera choice. With reliable autofocus, buttery-smooth image stabilization, solid ergonomics, long battery life, beautiful full-frame 4K footage up to 60p\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a04K 120p with a slight crop, it\u2019s a real winner.<\/p>\n

But then, in what many see as nothing less than a slap in the face to these new Sony a7S III owners, Sony has confounded us all by announcing the Sony FX3. So. . .what was Sony thinking? Is the FX3 better for video? Should you make the switch? Read on for everything you need to know about the FX3 vs. a7S III debate.<\/p>\n

Price<\/h2>\n

First and foremost, let\u2019s compare price since it\u2019s the first thing we look at when comparing any two cameras. The talk around Fx3 vs. a7S III is no different. Here\u2019s how they shape up:<\/p>\n

FX3: $3,898<\/p>\n

a7S III: $3,498<\/p>\n

For the FX3, you\u2019ll be paying $400 more than you would for the a7S III. What will that extra $400 give you?<\/p>\n

Video quality<\/h2>\n

You\u2019d be forgiven for thinking this is the exact same camera if you were to look at it strictly from a sensor and image quality perspective. The a7S III and the FX3 do the exact same thing. For both, the max 4K resolution internally is 3840×2160. Externally, both cameras can go to 4264×2408. Full-frame 4K is doable up to 60 fps, and you can achieve 4K 120 fps with a slight crop. Other things to note here include the fact that both can shoot 240 fps in 1080p, and both will have that 10% crop in 120 fps and 240 fps.<\/p>\n

Footage from Artgrid<\/a>\u00a0shot on the Sony a7S III<\/p>\n

Both have 15 stops of dynamic range, and the ISO range is also the same at 80-102, 400. What about RAW and codec information? You guessed it. Both have the same: 16-bit RAW I XAVC S-I 4K, XAVC HS 4K. Color information is also identical: RAW | 10-bit 4:2:2\/8-bit 4:2:0. Regardless of which camera you choose, you will need the Atomos Ninja V for recording ProRes RAW.<\/p>\n

So, in short, when it comes to image quality, both the FX3 and the a7S III are nothing short of exceptional (and identical), as expected from Sony digital cameras. You\u2019ll have a tough time differentiating between the two here.<\/p>\n

Ergonomics<\/h2>\n

How about ergonomics, then? The difference in size and weight is negligible. With batteries loaded, the FX3 weighs in at 715g, while the a7S III tips the scales just below 699g. That minute difference won\u2019t impact how you shoot.<\/p>\n

In general, both cameras handle really nicely. However, there are some key differences in design. The a7S III is much more of a \u2018classic\u2019 Alpha series camera. The shape and overall finish reflect a slow evolution of Sony\u2019s flagship models over the past few years. This may well be more comfortable and familiar to a lot of people. The a7S III also features the coveted swivel-and-tilt LCD monitor.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the FX3 has some big differences. Unfortunately, the monitor only swivels. Sony has also done away with the viewfinder, which may irk some of you. However, where the viewfinder once lived, you can now attach the top handle that comes bundled with the camera. This is great for obvious reasons because a) it allows you to hold the camera much more steadily from above, and b) they\u2019ve included twin XLR\/TRS terminals\u2015the standard for pro audio in filmmaking.<\/p>\n

The FX3 is a video-only camera. source:\u00a0sony.com<\/a><\/p>\n

While you can purchase an XLR adapter kit for the a7S III, it\u2019s nice that the FX3 just comes with balanced audio straight out the box. Sony clearly intends to market the FX3 as the go-to camera for professional-quality videography and filmmaking.<\/p>\n

That ambition has been further advanced by the thread holes you can find on the body. You\u2019ll find five \u00bc-20 UNC threads on the body and 3 more on the handle. These effectively turn the camera into a cage, ready to go. Again, with the Sony a7S III, you could choose to invest in a cage, so having these features built into the camera gives the FX3 a slight edge here.<\/p>\n

Audio features<\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, it does seem that the FX3 has the advantage straight out of the box when it comes to audio. The FX3 arrives ready to roll with 2x XLR\/TRS, 4ch 16-bit 48 kHz LPCM + 1x 3.5 mm jack (2ch), while the a7S III comes with the 1x 3.5 mm jack, 2ch 16-bit 48 kHz LPCM. Of course, once you purchase the XLR adapter kit for the a7S III, the two become pretty much indistinguishable once again.<\/p>\n

Autofocus<\/h2>\n

As the story goes with this FX3 vs. a7S III battle, there really isn\u2019t any difference between the 2 when it comes to autofocus. Both perform amazingly well, as we have come to expect with Sony digital cameras. Both utilize the same focus aids, too\u2015the tried-and-trusted zebra markings, histogram and in-camera meter.<\/p>\n

That said, if Sony really wants to position the FX3 as the go-to choice for professional filmmakers and videographers, they could have added something extra, such as in-built false colors and waveforms. A future firmware update, perhaps?<\/p>\n\t\t

Image stabilization<\/h2>\n

No surprises here. Both have amazing in-house image stabilization. One plus point for the FX3 here is that it produces gyro information. But to stabilize the footage using that data, you\u2019ll need to use Sony\u2019s Catalyst software, which can be a time drain.<\/p>\n

Battery<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re hoping to pick a clear winner between the FX3 vs. a7S III, you won\u2019t determine it by comparing battery life. Both use the same battery, and the FX3 will crank out a mere 5 minutes more\u2015a negligible difference.<\/p>\n

Sony FX3: 95 minutes, $78<\/p>\n

Sony a7S III: 90 minutes, $78<\/p>\n

Key differences<\/h2>\n

So far, it\u2019s hard to find much of a difference between the FX3 vs. Sony a7S III. But on closer inspection, there are a few key differences that may well sway you one way or the other.<\/p>\n

Does the FX3 shoot stills?<\/h3>\n

As we\u2019ve already discussed, the FX3 doesn\u2019t have a viewfinder making it a video-first camera. Another clear sign that it\u2019s been expressly designed for videography and filmmaking is that it comes with a top handle. The a7S III does have a viewfinder giving it an edge when it comes to taking stills.<\/p>\n

The FX3 also has a tally lamp\u2015a small light that indicates to both operator and subject that the camera is recording. You\u2019ll find a zoom lever, too. It might be useful, it might not, depending on how you use it.<\/p>\n

Does the FX3 overheat?<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s just one last thing\u2015the real, key differentiator between the two. While the FX3 loses the viewfinder, it\u2019s gained a fan for overheating issues. It\u2019s well-known that some Sony digital cameras have overheating issues, and the a7S III is no exception. After 1 hour of shooting in 60fps ALL-I, it will overheat. After about 30 minutes of shooting ALL-I 120fps, it also overheats.<\/p>\n

Sony has proudly claimed that the FX3, with its built-in fan, can record continuously at 4K 60p with no limit and no overheating. This is a winning point, for sure.<\/p>\n

What are the main differences between the Sony a7S III and the Sony FX3?<\/h3>\n

The FX3’s main advantages lie in the XLR inputs, top handle and cooling fan, while the a7S III is better for still photography thanks to its viewfinder and its cheaper price.<\/p>\n

Conclusion – is the Sony FX3 worth it?<\/h2>\n

Ultimately, then, it\u2019s clear that Sony has designed the FX3 first and foremost for video and filmmaking. However, are there enough differences to distinguish it from the a7S III when you consider the latter’s advantages for taking photographs?<\/p>\n

Apart from the one genuine standout feature of the fan addressing overheating issues, we\u2019re not sure if it was really necessary for Sony to introduce the FX3 with the a7S III already serving this market so well. Perhaps with some firmware updates, it could become the game changer Sony wants it to be. But we just can\u2019t help shaking the feeling that the FX3\u2019s few distinguishing features could\u2019ve been wrapped up in the a7S III. Perhaps this raging FX3 vs. a7S III debate never needed to happen.<\/p>\n

In short, we\u2019re going for the easy cop-out option here: We think that you\u2019ll be happy with both. Don\u2019t blame us. Blame Sony!<\/p>\n
