Sony FX30 Officially Announced, Priced $1,798, Available for Pre-Order

Sony has just officially announced the new Sony FX30.  This new camera costs $1,798, first available for pre-order at B&H/ Adorama.   Sony FX30 provides everyday content creators and aspiring filmmakers with a powerful, yet accessible cinema camera with which to push their cinematic journey to new heights. It blends an imaging pipeline designed for cinematic capture with a comprehensive feature set and intuitive operation to create a complete system for all levels of filmmaking.

DCW tested Sony FX30 and made such a verdict “It’s always risky giving a camera a 5-star rating based on a fairly limited acquaintance, but unless something dreadful crawls out of the woodwork that we don’t know about yet, the FX30 deserves it. This is a full-on cinema camera at a mirrorless camera price point, and perfectly positioned to help ambitious creators develop their professional skills. The FX30 is a video-first camera but can still take 26MP stills, and it doesn’t just blow Sony’s ageing A6000 series out of the water, it makes the FX3 look a bit limited too
