For the last couple of years, when cameras like the Lumix S1II and Nikon zr launched, all Sony users were heard saying was:

"No need for raw, H.265 is enough, and nobody can tell the difference after uploading to YouTube or Instagram. And why do you need to change ISO and white balance? Don't you know how to set white balance?"

"Open gate is not a big thing; you should frame better, or it's not so important."

"32-bit is overrated, and if you're a professional, don't you know how to set up audio?"

"A higher resolution sensor is not needed for cropping; you should learn how to frame in-camera."

"A bigger display is not that important; anyway, you will use an external monitor."

"Raw 12-bit is not necessary; why do you need 12-bit? 10-bit is already enough," etc., etc.

Sony users now, after the FX5 was released:

"OMG, Sony raw is amazing!"

"16-bit raw, wow, such an upgrade over 12-bit raw!"

"Higher resolution sensor, wow, such an upgrade!"

"Open gate, wow, Sony is innovating; open gate is a must!"

"32-bit audio, Sony rules!"

"The display is so good!"

Meanwhile, the thing costs 5 grand for the body alone.

And when you mention the $5k price tag, they will say, "The camera will pay for itself!"

Seriously, just shoot with what you have; all cameras are amazing, and the FX5 is incredible too. But stop hating on other brands and shoot with what you have.

Seriously, it's so funny seeing most of their comments.

In the rapgod music video, eminem put a laptop in his back pocket to go with the verse "i got a laptop in my back pocket", but only the corner of the laptop would go in, when the vaio p could pit in a back pocket. My thinking is that it was too niche for people to realize that it was a laptop, and not something like a tablet.

Have had a really bad time with the Sony service lately and I’ve been a long-time, consistent paying user. Been trying to get a refund for a game and the chat bot hasn’t worked for two days and i’m calling them tomorrow. I want some sort of compensation as it has took up a huge chunk of my time. Any answers appreciated.

Knew I was going to be packing boxes at work today and decided to bring my PSP and watch Charlies Angel's. I love that this thing still works flawlessly.

as i bought mine from japan, the menu is only available in Japanese. does anyone have the same model that can give me a tutorial of the settings? thankss

Mother in law is moving, I saw she listed this on FB market for $100. Called her up and told her that tv is worth way more than $100. She said she just needs it gone, so I got a new tv for $100 lol

From what I saw in the livestream, the FX5 looks a bit more professional, more like a cinema camera, similar to the FX6 in terms of the body design and settings.
I really like the resolution and the fact that it supports 14-bit, but I still feel like I’d end up buying the FX3 instead of the FX5.

What do you think?

Were you expecting more, or are you satisfied with what Sony announced?

The price seems fair to me, not cheap, but not bad either.
