Sony FX3 (ILME-FX3)

A pro Cinema-line full-frame body built for run-and-gun video: a low-light-tuned 12.1MP sensor, 4K120, IBIS, active cooling, and an XLR handle in a compact 715g shell. It suits solo video shooters who want cinema tools without a full rig. Stills-first shooters should skip it — 12MP is video-tuned — as should anyone who needs a built-in EVF, which it lacks.
