The Sony FX3 is still the best camera for most creatives in 2026. Here's why.
Everyone's talking about the FX5, the FX6, the "FX7" but before you drop money on the newest body, hear me out. I've shot some of my best work on this little camera
In this video I break down why the FX3 is still the industry standard, why the Sony ecosystem matters more than people admit when you're hiring crew and renting gear on the road, and why the FX3 + FX6 combo is a match made in heaven.
I'm Tommy - cinematographer and filmmaker based in Atlanta, GA. I shoot commercial work for brands and share what I learn along the way.
