Sony FX5 Brings Pro Cinema RAW Recording to a Sub-$5,000 Body

Sony's FX5 ships August 2026 at $4,899.99, fitting between the FX3 and FX6. Its 18.2MP full-frame sensor is the first in the FX line to offer Open Gate 3:2 readout and internal 16-bit X-OCN RAW — formats previously limited to pricier cinema cameras. Triple base ISO and 16-stop dynamic range expand the value. Key modes like 4K/240fps RAW arrive via firmware expected by August 2027.
