  1. As someone who owns both the A7siii and the FX3, it appalls me that my 7siii was the same price on the get go, and that camera has largely devalued while the FX3 has stayed in its price range with features that could work out. Additionally, A7sii was advertised as a video-centric camera and has the capacity for 4k 120UHD with 1.1x crop. It can definitely handle adding some more features to it to align with it's large FX brothers such as: DCI 4k (forgoing image stabilization) True 24p and respective shutters Potentially 48p UHD or DCI4k (without stabilization) Focus Breathing Compensation (at least for UHD) Anamorphic Desqueeze Obviously the FX3 was built with more intent to handle more efficient menu features and pro tools like true timecode compatibility without audio scratch, internal cooling, ergonomics for audio interface, etc. I do think however people get strangely caught up too much in how the A7siii has the same physical form factor as other photography cameras because it has a physical shutter and a viewfinder. Realistically however, that isn't keeping the A7siii from devaluing in used marketplaces by roughly $7-800 during high demand seasons where the FX3 maybe loses $2-300 retail in the same environment. They're both similar cameras sold close to the same time for very much the same price, and it's disappointing to see the 7siii get neglected as hard as it has, especially in the wake of a vlog style camera with the same video codecs, sensor and processor with much better firmware, improved af, more automatic features, app/mobile & wireless firmware update compatibility, etc. They need to come out with something or we're going to see another price drop for the camera in 6 months or less.
