Is the Sony FX30 Solid Value for the Money?

Today, I’m taking a look at the new Sony FX30, the latest entrant in Sony’s cinema line. Now, I’ll start off the review addressing a simple question. Is the FX30 (or the FX3 for that matter) actually a cinema camera? What actually defines a cinema camera? As mirrorless camera video capabilities continue to grow, the line between video camera and hybrid cameras continues to blur. We live in an age in which the phone in your pocket is capable of making a feature film (see Tangerine or Unsane).
