Secret upgrade for Sony FX3
Posted on May 11, 2025 by Adam Duckworth
There are hardware changes to the popular YouTuber’s full-frame camera but it’s been done on the quiet.
Sony’s FX3 hybrid mirrorless camera has had a hush-hush upgrade from Sony to include a brand new, higher-resolution screen. Sony has not officially issued any details of the model – officially dubbed the FX3a – but it has appeared on several retailer websites.
The main change is that the LCD panel resolution is a new version with 2,359,296 dots compared to the 1,440,000 dots on the older model. And Sony has removed the NFC functionality and infrared remote control light receiving element.
The new screen star
It is believed the change happened because the original screen became unavaikable from Sony’s supplier so a new, improved version was sourced.
The FX3 was announced in February 2021 so is relatively old in the Sony line-up, but is still very popular. Hence the decision to quietly upgrade the camera as there is no sign yet of a new model.
