◆ Top Story
Sony's new FX5 cinema camera fills the gap between compact FX3 and flagship FX6, bringing global shutter, internal RAW via CFexpress, and open-gate 5K recording. This mid-tier addition significantly expands Sony's Cinema Line appeal to hybrid shooters and high-frame-rate workflows seeking RAW capture at prosumer price points.
