The Sony FX5 leaks are out, and while a 5K stacked sensor with 3x2 open gate sounds incredible, there's one massive oversight that might ruin it for anamorphic shooters. Let's break down the latest from Sony Alpha Rumors, why a 16x9 3.5-inch screen is a step backward for the FX lineup, and how it compares to my current Lumix S1 Mark II setup.
In this video, I'm keeping it 100 on sponsored content, the death of brand loyalty, and why I’m currently testing gear like the Blazar Talon E-mount lenses, Viltrox Nexus Focus, and the Oppo Find X9 Ultra over standard pocket cameras.
What are your thoughts on the FX5 rumors? Let me know in the comments if you think it's worth the upgrade or if you're sticking with your current rig.

![Sony 28-70 f/2 GM vs The World (Sigma 28-45, 24-50 G & GM Primes!)
The $3,000 Sony 28-70mm f/2 GM (aka the Got Money lens) is finally here! But does it actually replace your primes or your Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8?
In this video, we arent doing boring pixel-peeping. Instead, we’re looking at real-world practicality, usability, and bokeh! I’ll be comparing the massive new Sony 28-70mm f/2 GM against the Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8, the Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 G, and several Sony GM Primes (24mm, 35mm, and 50mm). Well talk about weight, gimbal balance, subject separation, and why the jump from f/2.8 to f/2 might be a bigger deal than you think for your video and wedding work.
Plus, stick around to see how a $200 dark horse lens stacks up against this heavyweight!
What you’ll learn in this video:
• Why the Sony 28-70 f/2 is surprisingly lightweight and well-balanced on a gimbal.
• How the bokeh and subject separation compares to f/1.4 primes and f/2.8 zooms.
• Whether you should sell your Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 for this.
• The annoying reality of 86mm filter threads.
