🎥 Sony FX5 – The “Baby Venice 2” is here… and it’s pure magic.
If you’re into cinematic storytelling and want to see tech explained in the most beautiful way possible, you NEED to watch this new review from the legend himself, Philip Bloom.
Philip doesn’t just list specs. He shoots, lights, and directs like only a true cinematographer can. Watching him put the FX5 through its paces feels more like a short film than a tech review.
What makes the FX5 special:
- Internal RAW recording (with smart new compression)
- Open Gate 3:2
- Triple base ISO (800 / 4000 / 12,800)
- Stunning 4K 240fps (coming in v2 firmware)
- Beautiful low light performance
- Much improved ergonomics + tilting EVF option
- And that classic compact FX body we all love
Philip is completely honest about the things he loves and the quirks that still frustrate him which makes this one of the most valuable reviews out there.
Whether you’re thinking about upgrading from the FX3, FX6, or just dreaming about your next camera, this video is gold.
