Sony FX5 Cinema Line Camera with Stacked Sensor
Sony's new FX5 Cinema Line camera is officially just one day old, but it is already generating plenty of interest and comparison activity on Camera Decision, quickly becoming one of the most popular cinema cameras among our readers.
Long-time FX3 users have been waiting for a successor, but the FX5 appears to be a different kind of camera, and that could be either a good or a bad thing, depending on what you're looking for. While it shares almost the same external shape and dimensions as the FX3, the FX5 is much closer to dedicated Cinema Line cameras such as the FX6 and FX9 in terms of operation and menu design. It also drops the still photography mode found on the FX3, making it a more video-focused tool.
