Sony FX2 with tiltable EVF to be announced on May 28
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.
