Sony ILME-FX3A Camcorder E-Mount

The eye autofocus locks onto subjects so reliably that I stopped worrying about missed focus during fast-moving shoots. Combined with the 5-axis stabilization, handheld 4K footage comes out steady enough to use straight from the camera.

The low-light performance is honestly the reason I grabbed this, and it delivered—shot a candlelit dinner scene with zero noise and the autofocus locked onto eyes perfectly. The 5-axis stabilization also meant I could ditch the gimbal for most handheld work, which saved my arms on a long shoot.

Just used this for a wedding shoot and the autofocus locked onto faces instantly, even in the dimly lit church. The 5-axis stabilization made handheld walking shots look gimbal-smooth.
