✍️ Editor's Note
"Combining the compact mobility of the FX3 with the professional workflow powerhouse features of the FX6 and VENICE, the Sony FX5 has officially stepped into the spotlight with its first teaser! For creators who felt the FX3 fell slightly short on Open Gate support, the addition of 5K Open Gate, an advanced stacked sensor, and Triple Base ISO is more than enough to get solo creators and commercial production crews excited. With pre-orders and notifications already live across major European and North American retailers, a major shift in the autumn video gear landscape is officially underway. If you are a solo shooter or filmmaker considering a upgrade to a next-gen cinema body, keeping a close eye on the FX5's official release date is an absolute must!"
