Questions and answers

Is the FX30 worth it over a full-frame camera?
If you want Sony's cinema controls and 4K recording at a lower price than full frame, yes. You give up some low-light depth and shallow depth of field that a full-frame body gives.
Does the FX30 come with a lens?
No. It is sold as a body with the Sony E-mount, so you buy lenses separately. The 15mm f/1.8 and 27-75mm figures in some listings describe a lens, not the camera.
What memory cards does the FX30 take?
It has dual slots that accept SDXC or CFexpress Type A cards. CFexpress Type A is faster but costs more; SDXC works for most 4K recording.
How does the FX30 compare with the FX3?
The FX3 has a full-frame sensor and costs more. The FX30 uses an APS-C sensor but shares the cinema body layout and 4K workflow.
When is the FX30 cheapest?
Its best new price was $1,604.99 at Lowe's as of November 4, 2026, with 7 stores listing it new. Compare those stores before buying.
