Not the absolute cutting edge for video and nor is it for stills, but one of the best to date for both. I will be interested of course in what this new more video-centric thing may be, plus anything/everything else and shall talk about it as so many of us do, but as there is nothing I am especially looking for...

I have the OG S5 I could sell/move to C camera and make room for a LUMIX FX3 style camera. However if it’s priced around the S1Rii I may still go for that. After 4k 120p uncropped and a faster readout speed, we’re really running out of things to complain about. What will people even argue about on YouTube anymore? LX3? They should troll Sony with that model number. IronFilm, Juank and j_one 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flirted with the idea of selling my S1 and go for the S1RII but eventually decided to keep it for life. Parting with this kind of image quality in such a tank built body for 800€ is a crime 🙂 Walter H, mtol and Juank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago It's not a Lumix but such a shy update FX3 killer! : D Just arrived... FX3A, here's a crucial breakdown (from this source) : Key Differences (FX3A vs FX3) LCD Screen: The most significant change is an upgraded rear LCD screen. The original FX3 featured a screen with approximately 1.44 million dots. The new FX3A incorporates a higher-resolution LCD with approximately 2.36 million dots, the same used in the FX30. This should provide a sharper and more detailed image for monitoring and menu navigation. USB Port: Some sources indicate the FX3A features a more standardized USB-C connection, potentially replacing an older USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on the original FX3. This aims to improve compatibility with modern accessories and streamline workflows. Included Charger: The FX3A is reported to ship with a dual battery charger (BC-QZ1), an improvement over the single-slot charger that came with the original FX3. Removed Features: Some minor, largely defunct features like the infrared remote function and NFC may have been removed in the FX3A. Excluded Accessories: The FX3A reportedly no longer ships with a USB-C cable or power cord. Price: There are indications that the FX3A might have a higher price point (around $4500 in the USA) due to new tariff rules, though this can vary by region and retailer. Some UK retailers list it around £3,599.00. $3,899.99 https://electronics.sony.com/imaging/interchangeable-lens-cameras/all-interchangeable-lens-cameras/p/ilmefx3a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
