The Sony FX30 (ILME-FX30) is Sony's first semi-professional APS-C mirrorless interchangeable-lens cinema camera in their Cinema Line. It was announced on September 28, 2022, and released in the following month. The FX30 is based on the full-frame FX3 released in the previous year. The starting price of $1800 (USD) makes it the most affordable model in Sony's Cinema Line, and it offers a step-up in video potential for the APS-C lineup.
