I got my hands on a Sony FX-5 loaner directly from Sony Cine for a few days. All I gotta say is it is a problematic camera.
Talking head footage filmed entirely with Sony FX5 in XOCN C2 RAW in 3:2 Open gate with @blazarlens.official Talon 35 lens.
In this brutally honest, no-holds-barred hands-on review, we’re diving deep into the new Sony FX5. The internet is already full of spec-sheet warriors and camera fanboys crying about the price and the 5K resolution, comparing it to hybrid bodies from Canon, Nikon, and Lumix. But they are completely missing the point.
The FX5 isn't just another hybrid camera—it is a dedicated, workhorse cinema camera. It’s basically a mini Sony Venice for under $10K.
In this video, we cover:
The 5K Complaint: Why resolution isn't everything and why $4,800 is actually a steal for these cinema features.
Next-Level RAW: Testing out the internal X-OCN RAW (C1 and C2) recording and its incredibly manageable file sizes.
Dynamic Range & Sensor Performance: Unpacking the dual gain mode, the massive dynamic range, and the 7ms to 14ms rolling shutter performance.
Anamorphic Quirks: My experience desqueezing Blazar anamorphic footage in-camera and the current limitations with IBIS and Autofocus.
The Hard Truth: Why this camera isn't made for spec-obsessed internet trolls, and why the optical low-pass filter and Venice menu system make it a true filmmaker's tool.
