"The Sony FX3A packs a punch in a small form-factor camera body. This is an incredibly popular camera from Sony's Cinema range, and is capable of 4K resolution footage at up to 120 fps internally. The included top handle allows full XLR capabilities for sound, and I love the built-in female 1/4" and 3/8" screw threads on the camera body itself. It's the perfect choice for those looking to get high quality video footage without the need for a large cinema camera."
