The first photo of the Sony FX3 (ILME-FX3) has been leaked showing a pretty interesting design if it is indeed a FX camera. There isn't much info available, but the camera has been registered with the FCC, confirming a camera with that name exists.

If it is indeed real, it reminds us of a larger Sigma fp or throwback Blackmagic Pocket and is aesthetically similar to the Sony a6600. The back features what looks like a flip screen, several dedicated buttons for power, record, and a mode button along with multiple dials, and function buttons that are most likely customizable. On the top, are three 1/4-20" threads to mount accessories and most likely a MI shoe that will allow you to connect Sony's XLR-K3M Dual-Channel XLR Adapter Kit and other accessories.
According to Sony Alpha Rumors, the camera may be similar to the a7s III with active cooling, S-Cinetone and 4K All-I 10-bit 4:2:2. They also suggest it will take CFexpress Type A cards and will top out at 4K 120p with no 8K. Cost is around $4,600 with a February 23rd pre-order date.
As with any rumors, nothing is confirmed. However, a lot of the specs make sense. And with Sony announcing the Alpha 1 out of nowhere, they could be trying to keep new products as close to their chest as possible.
What do you think of the FX3 body style? Let us know in the comments below.
