The Sony FX3A is a compact Cinema Line camera with a full-frame sensor, over 15 stops of exposure latitude, ISO 80–102 400, the Sony E mount and the BIONZ XR processor. It records 4K at up to 120p, handles colour with S-Cinetone, writes to CFexpress Type A / SD cards and sends 16-bit RAW at 4 264 × 2 408 (59.94p/50p/29.97p/25p/23.98p)…
The Sony FX3A is a compact Cinema Line camera with a full-frame sensor, over 15 stops of exposure latitude, ISO 80–102 400, the Sony E mount and the BIONZ XR processor. It records 4K at up to 120p, handles colour with S-Cinetone, writes to CFexpress Type A / SD cards and sends 16-bit RAW at 4 264 × 2 408 (59.94p/50p/29.97p/25p/23.98p) over HDMI.
Full frame with over 15 EV of dynamic range, active cooling and the two-input XLR handle in the box. It weighs 630 grams.

The handle with two XLR / TRS inputs is included, not an extra. It sits on the Multi Interface shoe, which carries the audio into the camera digitally. The camera records up to four channels at 24 bit.
Five 1/4" threads sit in the magnesium body itself and three more on the handle. Monitor, wireless mic and light hang straight off the camera — you will not need a cage.
A quiet fan and vents carry the heat away, so the camera records 4K/60p without interruption even on long takes.
The large pixels of the full-frame sensor reach ISO 409,600 and over 15 EV of range. Low light stops being a reason to light the scene.
The colour taken from the FX9 looks right without grading. When there is time for post, S-Log3 and HLG are there.
Five-axis in-body stabilisation and Active mode hold the handheld shot well enough that the gimbal often stays at home.
The full-size HDMI connector puts out 16-bit RAW up to 4,264 × 2,408 for an external recorder.
