The goal has been to make a full-fledged video and film camera in a smaller size and price range. The camera body and control layout are the same as Sony's full-frame FX3, but this APS-C sensor FX30 is a significantly more affordable option.

The camera has the quality of the larger Cinema Line cameras in a smaller, user-friendly size. The small body and smaller APS-C lenses mean lighter gear to carry.

The camera's active cooling is powered by a fan, which is designed so that it does not affect the weather protection of the body. In situations where noise levels are critical, the fan can be turned off completely, turned off during recording, or set to the lowest possible volume.

The FX30's LCD screen can also be flipped from the side to the front. The camera's controls are fine-tuned for video use, with a joystick and large rec button above the camera.

The rear dial is marked with shutter speed, focus peaking and zebra adjustments as standard.

The HDMI port is naturally full-size. The memory card system is the familiar 2 CFEXpress + 2kph SDXC UHS-II combination slots.
