Why the Sony FX3 Is One of the Most Powerful (and Affordable) Cameras for Professional Filmmaking in 2025

If you’ve been eyeing the Sony FX3 for your next professional video projector just wondering why everyone’s talking about it you’re not alone. The Sony FX3 is officially on the Netflix Approved Camera List, putting it in the same league as high-end gear used on blockbuster productions. But what makes this compact, full-frame camera so special?

To start, it offers incredible 4K image quality, 15+ stops of dynamic range, and unmatched low-light performance - all in a body that’s small enough to shoot handheld for hours. That alone is a dream for solo shooters and agile production teams. But even more exciting? Major feature films like The Creator by Gareth Edwards were shot on the FX3.

Why We’ll Choose the Sony FX3 Over the FX6 for A Shoot

At Bunker Hill Media, we don’t choose our equipment based on what looks the most impressive on a gear list. We choose it based on what helps us move efficiently, tell stories powerfully, and deliver high-quality results for our clients.

Lately, we’ve had more and more people ask us why we shoot on the Sony FX3 so often—especially when the FX6 is considered its “bigger brother.” The answer? While the FX6 is a phenomenal camera (and yes, we use it when the situation calls for it), the FX3 hits a sweet spot that’s ideal for corporate video production, branded content, interviews, and fast-paced event coverage.
