Sony is finally getting up to announce the Sony FX2 camera, and the announcement is expected on May 28, 2025.
The FX2 is Sony’s first camera that uses an integrated tilting electronic viewfinder, and it is one of their first FX line of cinema cameras which uses the same 33 megapixel full frame sensor that we have seen in the Sony A7 IV. So let’s explore the core specification of the Sony FX2 camera.
Sony FX2 Specifications
1. Integrated Tiltable Electronic Viewfinder
Integrated tiltable electronic viewfinder:
For the first time, a Sony camera is using a tiltable electronic viewfinder, which was first seen on the Panasonic GX9 camera. It will help photographers to recompose their shots in a very easy manner by hand-holding their camera even in daylight situations.
2. 33 Megapixel Full Frame CMOS Sensor
33 megapixel full frame CMOS sensor: It’s the same sensor that we have seen in the Sony A7 IV camera. We were expecting a kind of a new sensor, but yeah, it’s the same.
But the camera does deliver high-quality output. The only problem that users have faced with the Sony A7 IV camera from the time of announcement is the overheating limit, which is now completely fixed in the upcoming FX2 with the introduction of:
3. Built-in Fan for Thermal Management
Built-in Fan:The FX2 camera, despite being an entry level cinematography camera, does have a built-in fan which helps the camera to dissipate the heat in the best possible way.
So while using its 33 megapixel sensor even at 4K 60p mode, you can record videos up to unlimited time.
4. AI Powered Autofocus with BIONZ XR
AI powered autofocus: The upcoming camera with BIONZ XR image processor will have the latest generation of AI algorithm inside it.
So users will experience next level of auto focusing performance as well as subject tracking.
5. 4K 60 FPS Video in Super 35mm Mode (1.5x Crop)
4K 60 FPS video in Super 35 mm mode: Super 35 mm mode at 4K 60p sounds fascinating, but that’s not a good thing — that’s actually a limit masked under a good name.
As we usually know, the Sony 33 MP sensor has its own readout limitations. That’s why the 4K 60p is limited to 1.5X crop. But at the very same time, I think that Sony can easily put uncropped 60p in the camera with pixel binning or line skipping algorithm if they wish to.
6. 32-bit Float Audio Support via XLR
32 bit float audio: 32 bit float audio support is available via XLR input. So for professional filmmakers and cinematographers, that’s a great thing to have in their camera.
7. Mechanical Shutter for Still Photography
Mechanical shutter: It’s good to see that Sony is still preserving mechanical shutter inside their camera.
8. Compact, Robust Design with a Unique Look
Compact robust design: As per the initial report, the FX2 is slightly thicker than the FX3 camera. Also, it includes a kind of a tilting EVF, so it looks quite different than the conventional FX series box-style cameras.
Sony FX2 Camera Price
The price of Sony FX2 camera: Sony FX2 camera is priced at $3000 without any tariff, so potentially it may rise up to $3500 depending upon its manufacturing location and additional taxes.
Sony FX2 Release Date
The arrival date of Sony FX2 camera: The Sony FX2 camera official announcement is about to happen on May 28, 2025. We will confirm more about its pricing and availability details.
