HANDS ON WITH THE SONY FX5 hosted by Tim Hawkins
Description
Sony’s newest Cinema Line camera has arrived.
Introducing the Sony FX5, the latest addition to Sony’s professional cinema lineup, bringing a new 5K sensor, 16-bit X-OCN recording, AI-powered autofocus, improved dynamic range and one of the biggest leaps forward we’ve seen in the Cinema Line in years.
The specs are impressive.
But what do they actually mean when you’re on set?
Join Georges Cameras and Sony Ambassador Tim Hawkins for an exclusive first look at the Sony FX5, where you’ll get to see the camera up close, ask questions directly to someone who’s already been shooting with it, and get hands-on with Sony’s newest cinema camera.
Rather than reading spec sheets or watching YouTube reviews, this is your opportunity to hear from a working Director of Photography who has spent decades behind the camera and has already put the FX5 through its paces in the real world.
