SUMMARY
The Sony FX5, a highly anticipated "handheld Hollywood" cinema camera, has seen its pre-orders in Japan exceed expectations within 24 hours of availability. This surge in demand has resulted in delivery delays for some customers, with new orders expected to be fulfilled in September. The camera features 5K 120p open gate recording and inherits features from Sony's Burano and Venice lines, positioning it as a successor to the popular FX3.
