Is the Sony FX3 still worth buying in 2026? Get it here ๐ Sony FX3 geni.us/sonyFX3
I've been filming video, taking photos and using the Sony FX3 since 2021 when it launched and it's been almost 5 years since its release. So, the question remains, is it still worth investing in or should you buy a newer camera model? Dozens of new camera bodies from many brands with higher specs have been released since, but do you need them or is this still the right fit for your production needs?
