Cinema Technology in a Creator-Ready Design
The Sony FX5 Cinema Camera brings the latest advancements from Sony's Cinema Line into a compact system built for today's hybrid productions. Featuring a newly developed 16.6MP full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor, the next-generation BIONZ XR2 image processor with an integrated AI processing unit, and professional recording options including Open Gate capture and internal X-OCN, the FX5 delivers exceptional speed, image quality, and production flexibility. Whether producing documentary films, commercial work, branded content, or independent cinema, the FX5 is designed for creators who demand the performance of a dedicated cinema camera without sacrificing mobility or efficiency.

A New Place in the Cinema Line
The FX5 is a wholly new entry into Sony's ever-expanding Cinema Line. It fits neatly in between the compact FX3-with which the FX5 shares a form factor-and the more seriously equipped FX6. Each one has its own set of features and tools that make it better suited to different types of video production. The biggest change to note is that the FX5 has moved to a next-gen sensor technology with its 16.6MP 5K fully stacked CMOS compared to the 12MP BSI CMOS of the FX3 and FX6.

Looking at the FX6, the FX5 is much closer in menu, features, and operation than the FX3. However, the FX6 still maintains many features expected of a traditional production cinema camera, including pro-quality connections (e.g., SDI), more physical controls, a built-in electronic ND filter (versus the stabilization of the FX5), and compatibility with Sony's larger BP-U series battery packs.
