Sony interview with CineD: Talk about the FX lineup future

CineD had a chat with Nobutatsu Takahashi-san, New Contents Creation Business Unit, Cinema Line Division, Senior General Manager.

So let’s share some tidbits:

I recently reported that several large store owners told me that FX2 pre-order numbers are a flop. CineD politely asked Sony what the “feedback” on this camera was, and Sony diplomatically replied that we’ll have to wait until creators receive their cameras before we can get any feedback. This to me means they know the camera hasn’t been well received yet.
When questioned about whether existing cameras like the FX3, FX6, and FX9 are showing their age, Sony reframes the conversation entirely. “You mentioned aging, but I don’t think it’s aging. It’s changing,” comes the response, revealing planned firmware updates for summer 2025.

Doesn’t sound like there is any FX6 or FX9 successor coming any time soon :(
