Our take on the Sony FX30

The Sony FX30 is a compact cinema camera with a Super 35 sensor, for streamers who want a film look. At a tracked $2,098 it sits at the top of a $1,798 to $2,098 range since August 9, 2026, so wait for a dip.

The listing gives a 20.1MP APS-C sensor, S-Cinetone color straight out of the camera, dual base ISO and a 14-plus stop range. User LUTs can show on the screen and HDMI output. The description adds 6K oversampling and S-Log3. It uses Sony E and FE lenses and weighs 1.2 pounds. A real camera needs a capture card for OBS. Retailer rating is 4.8 across 549 ratings.

Pros
  • S-Cinetone look without grading
  • User LUTs on the screen and HDMI output
  • 4.8 across 549 retailer ratings
Cons
  • Tracked at its high, $300 above its low
  • Needs a capture card for OBS

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
