Top Criticism
+3 pts
““…it is important to note that where the FX30 falls short – it’s the “stills mode” when compared to the FX3. Some features and functions are not provided with the new camera. There is no mechanical shutter, continuous still shooting, or uncompressed RAW. Also missing is the image sensor “anti-dust function” and AF illuminator. If you are into photography, you will find that the camera is not compatible with an external flash and NFC communication is not available.””
