Sony FX30 Cinema Camera Now Available on Amazon for $1,948
Sony's latest cinema camera, the FX30, has hit the market with an appealing price tag of $1,948 on Amazon, a 10% discount from other major retailers. This compact, lightweight camera is designed to cater to various filmmakers, from documentarians to those using gimbals and travel rigs.
The FX30 boasts a Super 35 sensor, which might not attract filmmakers who prefer the depth of field and light gathering of full-frame sensors. However, it offers professional codecs, including 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording at high frame rates, making it a practical entry point into true cinema workflows.
The camera's rolling shutter performance is better than most DSLRs but still trails behind high-end cinema cameras. It features cine-style menus and tools, such as false color, timecode, and advanced focus features, along with S-Cinetone and log recording for color grading flexibility, especially when matching with other Sony cameras.
Despite its affordability, the FX30 has fewer built-in professional I/O ports compared to its larger siblings. The search results do not currently reveal the name of the seller offering the FX30 on Amazon.
Positioned as an affordable entry into Sony's Cinema Line, the FX30 shares features with its bigger siblings in a compact Super 35 format. At under $2,000, it's an attractive option for filmmakers looking to explore cinema workflows, especially with Amazon's temporary price drop.
