This has been a wonderful backup camera for me. I used it for about 10 months and only shit with it on 8 difference occasions for travel. Nothing functionally wrong with the camera, im just offloading some excess gear.  The listing is for the body only, which is missing the hot shoe cover. I have included a small rig attached hment as well. The small rig attachment has a bent thumb screw on the hdmi support but other wise is functional. All this gear is nearly brand new as I took great care of it. If your going to ask me about shutter count it is currently "0" as there is no mechanical shutter for this calculation. I have included the reciept to show what I paid for it in summer of 2023.


26.1 MP Exmor R APS-C (Super 35mm format) image sensor with wide dynamic rangeSony's acclaimed image sensor technology in a new back-illuminated 26.1 megapixels APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor (Super 35 format) achieves high sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic latitude. 6K oversampling compresses a vast amount of information into 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) output, delivering 4K movies with overwhelming resolution. Capture the scene in cinematic 4K resolution with the expressive depth of field, stunning bokeh, and cinematic freedom of an APS-C size sensor. The image sensor maximizes light collection efficiency so that clear, usable images can be captured in dim light. Standard ISO sensitivity is 100 to 32000, and latitude is an impressively wide 14+ stops.S-Cinetone for a cinematic look straight out of the camera without gradingThe FX30 includes S-Cinetone, the same color science that produces the highly regarded FX9 and FX6 color and skin tones. Based on technology acquired through development of digital cinema cameras such as Sony's VENICE 2, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin color, plus soft colors and gorgeous highlights. Because S-Cinetone produces all this directly within the camera, it's easy to achieve a beautiful cinematic look without the necessity of post-production grading.Flexible ISO, Cine EI Quick and Cine EI Log shooting modes for optimized image qualityThree modes are provided for recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve ("Log Shooting Setting" in the menu) when post processing will be used to grade and finish the footage. Cine EI, inherited from Sony's high-end Cinema Line models, offers wide latitude and the highest possible image quality. Cine EI Quick automatically switches the camera's base ISO according to the selected Exposure Index (EI). And Flexible ISO provides the greatest flexibility for exposure settings.User LUTs can be applied to the LCD display and HDMI output and embedded in clipsWhen recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve, the low-contrast image displayed on the monitor can make it difficult to judge how the final image will look. The FX30 allows custom LUTs to be applied to the LCD monitor and HDMI output, providing a more accurate preview of the final image. LUTs can also be embedded in clips to facilitate post-production processing. The FX30 even includes a new s709 preset LUT that can provide a more cinematic look while monitoring.
