Sony plans FX3 II launch with expected upgrades for filmmakers

Sony is rumored to be developing the FX3 II, a successor to its FX3 professional video camera. This follows a recent price drop of the FX3, suggesting an upgrade may be imminent. Filmmakers hope for several enhancements, including an open gate sensor for improved video resolution, 16-bit internal RAW recording, and compatibility with CFexpress Type B media. These upgrades aim to enhance image quality and ease of use. Additional desired features include a more robust body for better durability and 32-bit float audio recording for improved sound quality. Filmmakers also hope the new model retains existing mounting points for accessories.
