What can the FX3 do?

Who should take a closer look at the Sony FX3?
Cinema cameras are generally quite large, and Sony's Cinema line is no exception. However, if you need a compact video camera with a high output quality, but still can't do without pro features such as mounting points or a long recording time, you should take a closer look at the FX3.
