It does nothing that Sony surprised us with the new Sony A1, the chosen one. This is how they referred to a camera with a 50MP sensor that is not only capable of capturing photos with a great level of detail, but also video at 8K resolution. However, now the Sony FX3 is filtered and has a brutal tip for all those who are into video.
As you know, since last year the main camera manufacturers have been surprising us with very attractive proposals in every way. Some for a great value for money and others for offering a series of features that until now seemed impossible in such compact bodies. Even so, this 2021 has started strong and it is expected that the cameras with a professional approach will more than prove that they are just that, cameras for real demanding users.
The Sony Cinema Line FX3 would be a camera that seems to compete directly with the recent proposals of brands such as Canon and its C70 or Blackmagic and its Pocket Cinema. Because together with the capabilities of the Sony film camera range, the body would be that of an alpha 7 C. That is, a very compact design to be used in all kinds of situations where larger cameras have no place or simply they are not comfortable to wear.
For example, in trips and other types of scenarios such as events. Without confirmed data, since we must remind you again that this is just a rumor for now, the new Sony FX3 would have a clear focus on video by integrating features such as 8K resolution recording, built-in ND filters and a much more stabilization system. reliable. That leaves a doubt bet on a Full Frame sensor like the 7C or ASPC like the a6600. What it does seem is that it could also be a camera with the idea of being used in that new line of products that they announced under the Airpeak brand. In other words, the drones on which Sony works with a view to offering other types of solutions that complement the needs of many image professionals.
Looking at the Sony camera catalog, with such interesting proposals as the Sony A7S III, the Sony a6600, the Sony a7C itself, the recent Sony A1 and without forgetting the FX cinema family, add another model and with this particular form factor it would be round off your proposal much more and hurt other competitors a lot. Logically, if its features are close to the Sony A1, it will not be an inexpensive camera. But that's the least of it, at least for professionals. Because if something begins to become clear, it is that the professional-cut ranges that each and every one of the brands are going to launch will be for professionals, not for users who are passionate about the whole world of photography and video.
