Verdict

The Sony FX3 is a great camera for those who need continuous, uninterrupted recording, especially in bright sun, due to its built-in fan. It is also a good choice for documentary and event work, as it includes an XLR module for additional mics. However, some users have reported issues with the camera's shutter sound and heat generation. The camera's color science with slog-3 has also been criticized, as well as its chroma noise in the shadows. Despite these drawbacks, the Sony FX3 is a fantastic camera with great video quality, especially at night, and comes with an external mic handle for directing and high-quality sound.
