CineD and Jeven Dovey love the Sony FX2: “the most desirable compact camera in Sony’s FX line”

Just like the recently announced Sony RX1rIII also the Sony FX2 got little love from the “influencer” community. But two famous platforms do disagree!

CineD tested the Sony FX2 with the Blazar Mantis 1.33x 35mm Anamorphic Lens and writes:

To me, this is currently the most desirable compact camera in Sony’s FX line simply because of its built-in EVF. Yes, I’m fully aware of what people are saying about it, and yes, I wish it could record 50/60p in full frame (next to 120p in 4K), but when it comes to usability, especially during run&gun on a full sunny day, this camera is a winner. If technically possible, I hope that Sony will consider “upgrading” it by introducing new firmware, or better yet, introduce a new compact FX model that has the missing features but has a built-in EVF.

And Jeven Dovey thinks that this camera is ideal for creators who want cinema features in a compact, affordable body. Not for spec-chasers—but perfect for run-and-gun video makers who prioritize usability and image quality over spec sheet bragging rights:
