Sony to Launch the Sony FX2, With New EVF Technology

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here's how it works.

Sony is going to be adding to their FX line of cameras with a new Sony FX2. Sony's FX line covers their video focused line of prosumer cameras. They currently make the FX3, FX30 and the FX6 cinema camera.

The new FX2 bumps the resolution up from the 12.1MP sensor on the FX3, to the same BSI 33MP sensor that we see in the A7 IV and A7c II.

New Tilting EVF

Also mentioned is a new tilting EVF, which sounds like the EVF mechanism that Canon has worked on, and was suggested that it would appear in a future Canon camera, but Sony may beat them to the punch.

Canon Full-Frame V Cameras

On the surface, the FX2 looks like an A7c II in a different form factor, but sometimes it takes the finer details to know how cameras differ from one another.

This sort of camera offering is something we haven't see from Canon yet. That may all change after the launch of the EOS R50 V, an RF mount ILC without a viewfinder and with a boxier shape.

We expect Canon to release something in 2025 that competes directly with Sony's FX cameras.

It looks like it pulls out then flips up. Likely to keep the EVF as flush as possible to the body when it's in the "normal" position.

Not exactly an unprecedented mechanism for a video camera. I use a tilting EVF like that almost every time I shoot video with my Canon Vixia HF G60.

That is the worst possible sensor to put in a video oriented body… The rolling shutter performance is horrible and it’s too high of resolution, hence the need for a crop in 4K60. That is a photo-centric sensor being crammed into a video focused body, and it makes no sense.

Admin, what are you mixing in your tea?

The moment I heard the rumor that it was going to use this sensor I had a great sigh of relief. What a truly terrible sensor to use for a video oriented camera. Then again, the R50V sensor is a terrible option for video as well, with it's poor rolling shutter and crop in 4K60. Sometimes you just use what's laying around. Except, they could have just used the same FX3 sensor and it would have been world class.

It is an odd choice for sure. I wonder if they tweaked it a bit to reduce rolling shutter (if that is even possible).
