Hot comments
While we don’t have the full list of Sony FX3 specs, we can still positively evaluate this product. It is a small Full Frame mirrorless and the most interesting part is certainly the compact form factor similar to what we saw on the A7c. Thanks to” wide range of communication ports dedicated to audio and video can interface with many professional products. Although there are no 8K videos or other technical virtuosity, it could be a very interesting product if some specific features are implemented for the video. The only drawback is the very high price, but not too much since A7S III has a list price of 4200 euros. Sony seems to have already unofficially announced a presentation date, scheduled for February 23, 2021 at 4 pm Italian with a dedicated event. From the photography section that’s all!
