Whether or not this is a real image of the Sony FX3 is unknown. However, it is worth noting that Gear Talk has a history of leaking accurate information about upcoming Sony products. In 2020, for example, Gear Talk leaked images of the Sony A7C months before it was officially announced.
If this image is real, it suggests that the Sony FX3 will be a compact, cinema-focused camera that will likely compete with the likes of the Canon EOS C70 and Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. The camera could be announced as early as February 2021, when Sony typically holds its annual CP+ trade show.
Here are some of the key features that we can expect from the Sony FX3 based on the leaked image:
* Compact, lightweight body design
* Large top handle for improved ergonomics
* Built-in EVF for framing shots
* Full-frame sensor with high resolution and low light sensitivity
* 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording
* Log profiles for advanced color grading
* External microphone and headphone jacks
* HDMI output for connecting external recorders
