- Is the FX3 worth it over the Sony a7S III?
- They share the same sensor and autofocus. The FX3 adds a cooling fan, a top handle with XLR audio and cinema-style mounting points, so it makes more sense if you shoot long video takes. The a7S III is the better pick if you also shoot stills and want a viewfinder.
- Does the FX3 have built-in ND filters?
- No. It has no internal neutral density filters, so you need screw-on or matte box ND for bright conditions. The FX6 has them built in.
- How long can the FX3 record continuously?
- The internal fan and heat design let it record long continuous takes in 4K without the overheating shutdowns that affect smaller bodies. Card capacity and battery life become the practical limits.
- What lenses fit the FX3?
- It uses the Sony E-mount, so it takes full-frame E-mount lenses from Sony and third parties. APS-C E-mount lenses also fit but crop the sensor.
- What is in the box?
- The body comes with the top handle with XLR inputs, a battery, charger and cables. Lenses, memory cards and a monitor are not included.
- Can the FX3 shoot stills?
- Yes, but only at 12MP. It is built for video, so photographers are better served by a higher-resolution Alpha body.
