Buying advice

Choose FX3 for compact full-frame 4K production, strong low-light performance, 5-axis stabilization and a supplied XLR handle in a proven solo-operator body. FX5 is the better long-term production tool when 5K Open Gate, internal RAW, faster sensor readout and professional network connections justify the larger investment.
