SUMMARY
Sony's highly anticipated FX5 cinema camera, announced in July, has been delayed beyond its initial September shipping estimate. The company cited unspecified "production issues" as the reason for the indefinite postponement of the camera and its related accessories, including a viewfinder and handle unit. Originally slated for release on August 21, the FX5 is positioned as a lightweight professional cinema camera between the FX3 and FX6, capable of 5K 60p open gate video. The significant pre-order volume may be a factor in the delay, though Sony has not provided specific details.
