17:20Now PlayingThe new Sony FX5 has arrived with some heavy-hitting specs like 4k 240p and a DGO sensor, but is it actually the ultimate cinema camera or just another Sony blunder? While the inclusion of open gate recording and the new Sony raw format might sound like a dream for high-end cinematography, Sony’s latest release is plagued with frustrating design choices that make it a tough sell. When you look at the Nikon ZR, which offers a far superior value proposition for professional video, it's hard to justify the FX5’s price tag. Whether you’re looking for the best vlogging camera, a reliable 4k mirrorless setup, or a dedicated cinema line tool, this review dives deep into the dynamic range, overheating issues, and why the "Sony color science" might not be enough to save this release from the Nikon ZR's dominance.
