Today on Full Time Filmmaker, we delve into the enigmatic Sony FX2 camera, a curious addition to the Sony lineup positioned snugly between the FX30 and the revered FX3. Priced at $2,699, this camera boasts a 33MP sensor, 4K 60fps recording, and 10-bit capabilities, making it a tantalizing prospect for the discerning filmmaker. With features like dual base ISO, AI-powered autofocus, and an EVF, the FX2 aims to carve out its own niche in the competitive camera market.
Upon closer inspection, the FX2 reveals a deeper grip and a dedicated photo-video switch, enhancing user experience and functionality. The addition of auto rotation to the LCD and Sony's UI further solidify its appeal to creators looking for a seamless workflow. Not to mention, the camera's AI processing chip delivers impressive autofocus performance, making shooting a breeze and ensuring crystal-clear shots every time.
In terms of performance, the FX2 shines with its sharpness, color grading capabilities, and low light performance at 4,000 ISO. The dynamic active stabilization proves to be a game-changer, offering stability in various shooting conditions without the need for a gimbal. With audio features like XLR and 3.5mm jacks, the FX2 caters to filmmakers looking for a complete package at an attractive price point. Overall, while not a revolutionary leap in technology, the Sony FX2 presents itself as a versatile and reliable tool for creators seeking a balance between cinematic video and photo functionality.
