Sony FX2 with tiltable EVF to be announced on May 28

Share

Finally Sony will announce the first E-mount camera of the year. And it’s going to be the new “Sony FX2“. This is a sort of Sony FX3 with integrated EVF (or if you prefer a Sony A7cII in FX style). The camera will be announced on May 28 and we should get one more camera after that announcement between June and August.

Sony FX2 specs:

  • 33MP sensor of the Sony A7IV and Sony A7cII
  • AI chip
  • integrated tilting EVF (resolution unclear yet).
  • The EVF is nothing like the LUMIX GX9. It’s big! Like the GFX100 one.
  • mechanical shutter
  • AI AF
  • 4k60 super 35
  • 32 bit float audio
  • Body is thicker than the FX3
  • cooled FX body (active ventilation)
  • same ports and storage of the FX3
  • Price around $3500
  • Announcement May 28

The camera is aimed especially at film students and content creators that need a Cine E-mount camera that can do it all. Unlike the FX3 you get a nice EVF and you get 32bit float audio support to be sure to never screw up your recordings.

Important: the Sony FX2 does NOT replace the Sony FX3! And I don’t know if this FX2 makes it even less likely to see a new A7sIV in the near future.

What are your thought about this camera?
