Sony FX2 Announced

Sony has announced the FX2 for the next generation of filmmakers. The camera features the Sony A7 IV’s 33-megapixel full-frame image sensor and photographic capabilities but packs them into a more video-friendly form factor along with some nice upgrades.

The Sony FX2 will start shipping in August in two configurations. The body-only option for $2,699.99 ($3,499.99 CAD). Another version includes the XLR handle for $3,099.99 ($3,999.99 CAD).

Compared to its bigger brother the FX3, Sony has expanded the stills capabilities with the FX2.

You’ll now find a mode switch to quickly change between stills and video, and each mode also has its own dedicated menu.

You’ll also find a mechanical shutter, 10 fps drive speed and a flash sync speed of 1/160.

Sony has even added the ability to shoot full-resolution stills with a Log response curve, saved as either 8-bit JPEGs or 10-bit HEIFs. The View Assist feature also allows you to preview the effect of a LUT on these files.

The FX2 also introduces Sony’s AI co-processor to the company’s cinema line and improved AI autofocus system. Insects, animals, birds, vehicles and humans can all be effortlessly tracked whilst shooting video.
