Sony has quietly introduced the FX3A, a subtly revised version of its FX3 full-frame Cinema Line camera. Rather than offer up a next-generation upgrade, the FX3A replaces its predecessor with a small hardware change. The very minor upgrade aims to maintain compatibility with current manufacturing standards.

The only apparent update is a new rear LCD screen, which increases resolution from 1.44 million dots to approximately 2.36 million. The new screen enhances display clarity for monitoring and menu use. While it is a nice update, the swap is necessity-based since the screen found on the original FX3 is no longer manufactured.

The update mirrors Sony’s minor, mid-life component revisions of cameras such as the RX100 VA and a7R IVA. While the FX3A isn’t the leap some users anticipated with a potential FX3 II, it retains the camera’s compact but dependable allure and S-Cinetone color response.

The Sony FX3A is available for pre-order from B&H for $3900, which is the same price that the original FX3 launched at. It’s worth noting that, like other recent revisions, it may see a limited release dependent on regional regulations.
