The Sony FX30 (ILME-FX30) is a powerhouse for creators who want the "Cinema Line" experience without the full-frame price tag. It’s essentially the younger sibling to the FX3, packing professional filmmaking tools into a compact, Super 35 (APS-C) body.

Key Video Specs

The FX30 is built for a "video-first" workflow, prioritizing thermal management and post-production flexibility.

• Sensor: 26.1MP APS-C (Super 35) CMOS sensor.
• Resolution: Oversampled 4K (from 6K) up to 60p; 4K at 120p (with a 1.6x crop).
• Color Science: Includes S-Cinetone for beautiful skin tones straight out of camera and S-Log3 for maximum dynamic range.
• Bit Depth: 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording for serious color grading.
• Dual Base ISO: 800 and 2500, which helps keep footage clean in low-light situations.

Build & Ergonomics

Unlike hybrid cameras (like the A7 IV), the FX30 is designed specifically for rigging.

• Cage-Free Design: The body features five 1/4-20 UNC threaded mounting points, allowing you to bolt accessories (monitors, mics, handles) directly to the camera.
• Active Cooling: It has an internal fan, meaning you can record long takes in 4K without worrying about overheating.
• Tally Lights: Multiple record lamps (front, top, and back) so you always know when you're rolling.
• B-Model Note: The "B" in ILME-FX30B typically denotes the "Body Only" version (without the XLR top handle).
