It's time to elevate your cinematic vision with the FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera, equipped with an E 11mm f/1.8 Lens. This camera boasts a 26.1 MP Exmor R APS-C (Super 35mm format) image sensor, renowned for its wide dynamic range and Sony's acclaimed image sensor technology. The back-illuminated 26.1 megapixels APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor ensures high sensitivity, low noise, and an impressively wide 14+ stop latitude. Experience the power of 6K oversampling, which compresses a vast amount of information into 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) output, delivering 4K movies with breathtaking resolution. The FX30 allows you to capture the scene in cinematic 4K resolution, showcasing the expressive depth of field, stunning bokeh, and cinematic freedom of an APS-C size sensor. The FX30's image sensor maximizes light collection efficiency, enabling the capture of clear, usable images even in dim light. With a standard ISO sensitivity of 100 to 32000, this camera is designed to perform in a variety of lighting conditions. The FX30 also includes S-Cinetone, a feature that delivers a cinematic look straight out of the camera without the need for post-production grading. This color science technology, also found in the highly regarded FX9 and FX6 models, produces natural mid-tones, soft colors, and gorgeous highlights. The camera offers three modes for recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve, providing flexibility and optimized image quality. The FX30 also allows custom LUTs to be applied to the LCD monitor and HDMI output, providing a more accurate preview of the final image. The Dual Base ISO feature offers two sensitivity settings - ISO 800 and ISO 2500 - allowing you to select an appropriate noise floor and maximize the FX30's dynamic range in both bright and low-light conditions. The FX30's autofocus system is reliable and accurate, featuring Real-time Eye and Real-time Tracking AF. These sophisticated tracking features ensure your subject remains in steady focus, allowing you to concentrate on composition. The camera also supports handheld movie shooting with its Active Mode, which utilizes an in-body 5-axis sensor shift image stabilizer. This feature, combined with a precision gyroscope sensor, makes stable video possible even when shooting hand-held at 4K high resolution. The FX30 offers a range of recording formats for high image quality and advanced post-production. It can record 10-bit 4:2:2 video internally when using Long GOP or All Intra compression. The camera also offers creative slow-motion options with up to 4K (QFHD) 120p with autofocus. For demanding post-production workflows, 16-bit RAW output is available over HDMI connection to compatible external recorders. The camera also offers a selection of Creative Looks to create interesting moods right in the camera. The FX30 also includes a range of sophisticated focus functions to handle any situation. For uninterrupted 4K 60p recording, the FX30 features an innovative heat dissipation structure, including a unique Sony (sigma) shaped graphite-alloy heatsink. The camera also supports proxy recording for efficient editing workflow and time code input synchronization capability. The FX30 can also shoot stills, making it a versatile tool for location hunting. The camera's new list-style main menu provides quick access to frequently used items, ensuring that parameters can be quickly checked and edited as needed prior to shooting. With the FX30 Super 35 Cinema Line Camera, you're not just capturing moments, you're crafting cinematic masterpieces.

A lovely handy camera, great to use for wedding photography & video as I do for a living. 
Very disappointing however that after spending such a lot of money on a good camera, there is not even a strap in the box. Sadly I am now using my FX 30 with a canon strap that I used from an older camera which I no longer use.

Sony living up to it's standards - Great camera -

I have just bought this camera and am totally delighted with it. With it's discreet size, I can take this camera to places where a bigger one would not be permitted. It is brodcast quality. I am a TV & Film Cameraman with 50 years experience in the industry, including 3 years in Hollywood, where I shot one of the first Feature Films to be digitally originated

Brilliant Camera suitable for High End Movies

I bought this camera in June 2024, besides certain "issues" with the noise at lower light, it's a awesome camera, hands down and the image quality is excellent.

Fx30

Coming from Canon to Sony i thought I was going to have a hard time adjusting to the menu but it felt seamlessly and more intuitive!!! I love this camera!!

User Friendly Fx30

I bought this because I wanted a reliable camera for weddings and events. It has surpassed my expectations, there's some stuff I have to relearn and things I will miss with my old camera by switching to the FX30, but it's worthy trade off. I highly recommend this to other professionals.

Amazing Value and Quality

I ordered this in preparation for a last-minute corporate gig, and Adorama was able to deliver the camera within 2 days reliably. Your shipping department deserves congratulations.

Also, I purchased the FX 30 KIT version because the extras are quite useful. I actually used the GREEN battery in my corporate gig; it held up quite well in relation to the original Sony battery.

Urgent Shipping was Reliable!

I got everything I wanted for almost half the price I was going to spend on other stores. The customer service were great a guy Name Jeffrey got me everything I needed and made sure that everything was compatible

Great gear at affordable prices

The camera is great quality in terms of 4k live streaming and the image quality is perfect. really happy with the built in fan as it doesnt overheat

GREAT CAMERA

This is a great camera, moved from Nikon over to Sony and I absolutely love it

Awesome camera

This is my first Sony camera, and I expected to start with an inexpensive full frame. So I love the fact it shares the same body as the FX3 (with fan, lots of custom buttons, solid), and shares the menu with all the options to record. But what Sony did with this model is copy the FX9 recording: a 4K image (including DCI 4096!) using the whole 6K sensor and oversampling resolution and color. 

So instead of a $3800 12MP camera, you have an $1800 26MP camera, with a 1.55x crop. Embrace the long lens, OR enjoy choices like the Sony 16-55  f2.8: a 24-85mm full-frame effective lens at about a pound! Autofocus and stabilization as expected, I feel there's no better choice to step into the Sony world than this. Lastly, 90% video, shooting indie films, coming from the GH5 and Blackmagic Pocket cameras. Bought here at Adorama, with a Ninja V to record the 4.6K raw it exports, so pleased.

Cinema Line I can buy.

I bought this as the obvious choice?not as a run and gun,as a cinema camera,meaning I control the environment 100% lights shadows etc?first day testing it out as a newbie I was offered a job.(100% true) filming the U.S Open in California.

Sony fx30 Saved my life.

I bought this camera 12 months ago ago coming a super nice a6500 where I learn all my video basic skills to this pro level camera when I really get to put all my skills together. I love this camera.

Great for all my video needs. Wedding.

Perfect video camera for a cinematic look.

Priced right and performs!

Incredible how much they have packed into this camera !  I'm extremely pleased with the value in this body and the handle I purchased with it as a kit had been extremely worth it.

For context I am an audio professional ( mix engineer ). I have a home studio and I wated to bring high quality visuals and content to my brand and this has been the perfect tool.

Perfect for my needs

To be honest it performs way better than I expected for this price point! Yea it has some draw backs. But what do you really expect under $2k?

Amazing for the Money!

Adorama is the best   Thank you

Great camera

I have been using the FX30 for more than a year, and It is an excellent camera, mostly used for documentaries and interviews, easy workflow (If your computer handles log files), easy to color grade, no regrets at all!

Great camera, afordable price

Such an incredible, powerful little camera. It's light, practical, decently priced and easy to just grab and go. I highly recommend this camera to anyone / everyone.

Best Bang for the Buck Cinema Camera

this camera was one of the best investment a serious profesional could make. I really loe working with this camera I have it for about  a year now and I do not regret on buy it.

Best Value Camera

Great entry to cinema

Best cinema camera under 2K

i had fx3 before, i use it on gimbal,perfect

perfect second camera

A massive problem with the firmware update, no battery info. It shows up on the app so clearly a bug. Also why no shutter angle? This is a Bcam for my FX6 these things are 101.

no battery info

I am very satisfied with this camera that delivers excellent image results, 10 bits, and 4k 60fps - exactly what I was looking for. The value of this camera is much higher than the price. And the FX30 has great features that help with professional video production.

Cinema Camera with an amazing cost-benefit!

As a long time BMPCC 4K user, I love the continuous automatic focus feature of this camera with image quality quite similar to BMPCC 4K.

Great quality for the price

This is the best camera for video, I'd say "on a budget" but that doesn't even do it justice. Sure it's great on the wallet, but it is actually a cinematic masterpiece. 10/10 recommend!

AMAZING for video

To get all the feature on thi camera is well worth the price.
Pictur quality is up there Excellent.
The low light is not as good as my full frame but aceptible in most scenery
I do miss the evf there is none on this camera

Excellent camera

Honestly, this is probably the best bang for buck you can get right now. Sony autofocus, colors, and just features in general make it amazing. And I've used it to match with fx9 and fx6 and it's flawless. I love it.

Great camera for the price.
