So funny I literally just dropped my 3 year review today, we literally said very similar things haha! Great minds think alike.

[thanhduongvan]

Buying this camera 2 years ago was my best decision I ever made.

[TheMrjmsantiago]

With all these FX3 reviews on youtube lately, I have a good feeling FX3 ii will come before end of the year.

[Fortytwoflat]

Right there with you. Have had my fx3 for a few years too. My asks for a new one are simple:). 6k, open gate, 32 bit float audio, better ibis, and dare I say... Improved color science. oh and the menu. lol

Hi Chris, if I am not wrong the first native base ISO is 800 and not 640 as you have mentioned in your video @10:45, please confirm, thanks

This camera absolutely rocks!!! Bought mine 2 years ago for travel vlogs and as you said, it’s perfect to catch ‘those moments’. The footage is insanely good, even when I mess up, a great image can be found in color grading.

Feels good in the hands and intuitive to use. Case in point, went from a camcorder to the FX3, I feel Sonys design, both through the user menus and the camera itself made the transition much easier. Of course, there was the university of YouTube to fill in knowledge gaps.

Agree with some of your upgrade suggestions, but will probably hang onto my FX3 for a good while.

The benefit of using an A7S3 was that when I was doing a hybrid shoot and found a good frame, I could snap a photo before recording without any hassle. Being able to send high-resolution stills with identical framing is a great touch for the clients. But if I were to pick a permanent set-up, the FX3 all the way.

I got an FX30 recently due to budget constraints, but I'm really loving it. Just wonder how better the FX3 could be

[Kaiu]

Still a dream cam for many. Actually upgraded/downgraded/swapped in (however you want to see this) my Sony A7Siii for the ZV-E1 for more vlog style content and light weight carry and then also got the A7Cii for photography but also as a second body for video, though I would stilll like to maybe pick the FX3 up one day as a main dedicated Video camera, maybe if the new one comes out I'll get that or grab this if the price comes down.

[keirux]

I’d be curious to know your thoughts on the ZVE1, same image quality, smaller and cheaper, better AF + better photo functionality

[travisminneapolis]

I'd love them bring a good repositionable and scaleable WFM (Waveform monitor) like Panasonic has had since the GH5.

[dspoet]

I hear you but I’m rocking the Sony A7 IV. If I do get another camera, it will be the FX3.

[joshwhitee]

Great camera. Was a little sad I jumped the gun in buying the a7siii, but then again. Its still worth it 4 years later as well 😅

[feelsgoodkoi]

bought mine 2 months ago for an amazing price of 3700 euro which is like 1k less than usual here in europe. obviously im a little scared about the newer versions and all the quircks its gonna have but honestly it has all i need (for now). i made enough excuses in my life to buy gear i really didnt need. the fx3 now will be my cam for atleast the next 3 years i hope

[afseale]

Ohhh there is a new FX3 camera for sure…..a few of these FX3 long term reviews videos showing up recently. A perfect time for a mk2. Fingers crossed a new A7Siii mk2 as I need the price to come down on the current one. Great video and collective fingers crossed! Cheers

[Chaelaz]

Fx3 is still my goal, just have been waiting for the updated version to come so prices drop. Had a few opportunities, but just gotta wait for planets and dollars to align.

[Obriezy]

Dope video as always Chris, quick question though, have you updated to the new firmware? Coz apparently it’s really bad and caused a lot of issues for a lot FX3 and a7siii owners, especially with overheating, Bluetooth and wifi issues, internal sound issues, autofocus glitching.

It’s just crazy, coz I love my sony a7siii and fx3 but haven’t updated yet coz of these issues I see guys having after updates.

[cammackey]

It’s kinda crazy how Sony just leaps frogs the camera industry in technology

[EricDoggett]

I bought one a month ago, and now I'm selling all my Canon gear.

[numberchiefROKKA]

The sony a7s iii and the fx3 are going to be spoken of in the same terms as the canon 5D mark ii. With regards to how revolutionary and impactful they were to the industry when they were introduced. I wish Sony bypassed the a7s iii amd just made the fx3, because i had no need for the hybrid aspect of the a7s iii. I just shoot videos with it. But with that aside, if you are better off buying a new version of a camera because the used version is only $200 cheaper, you know the market still regards the camera highly.
