Sony FX3

The FX3 packs a full-frame back-illuminated sensor into a body small enough to vanish on a gimbal, with dual base ISO at 800 and 12,800 holding clean shadows where most compact bodies fall apart. S-Cinetone delivers a usable image out of the box, while S-Log3 with 16-bit raw over HDMI gives you the latitude for a graded pipeline — roughly 15 stops to work with. Internal 4K up to 120fps in 10-bit 4:2:2, active fan cooling for extended takes, and a body design built around threaded mounting points rather than a hot shoe make it a rigging-friendly platform. E-mount keeps adapter options wide open. A practical A-cam for documentary and run-and-gun, and a discreet B or crash cam alongside larger cine bodies.
