Cinematic Video Meets Advanced Photo Capture
Equipped with a 33MP full-frame sensor, the AI-powered Sony FX2 combines the comprehensive video capabilities of the Cinema Line with enhanced still image capturing in a compact, travel-friendly form factor. Ideal for on-the-go filmmakers and content creators, the FX2 features an S-Log3 photo mode with optional LUT application, and it sports a 3.68m-dot OLED viewfinder that tilts from 0 to 90°. Its AI processing unit provides active image stabilization and real-time subject recognition, allowing for maximizing the accuracy of autofocus and framing.
33MP Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor
Pairing its 33MP back-illuminated Exmor R sensor with a BIONZ XR processor, the FX2 captures vivid 4K video with natural gradations, realistic color, and low noise in both full-frame and Super 35 modes, providing wide lens compatibility without sacrificing resolution. In full-frame mode, the FX2 records 4K30 video with 7K oversampling and full pixel readout for exceptional sharpness and realism. Maximum frame rate at 4K resolution increases to 60 fps when shooting in Super 35 mode. Designed to tackle diverse lighting scenarios, the FX2 features a dynamic range greater than 15 stops, an ISO expandable up to 204800, and updated dual-base ISO technology for capturing footage in S-log3 at 800 or 4000 ISO.
DCI 4K Video Recording
Designed for flexibility, the FX2 shoots DCI 4K footage internally with 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling or outputs 16-bit raw video via an HDMI connection. Capture video in XAVS S, S-I, and HS recording formats in Long GOP, All-Intra, H.264, and H.265 codecs. Color and tone reproduction can be tailored with precision using up to 16 user-imported LUTs or S-Cinematone mode for matching VENICE, FX9, FX6, FX3, and other camera sources. The FX2 features an intuitive Variable FPS setting for creating time-lapses and slow-motion video, and it can de-squeeze 1.3 and 2.0x anamorphic footage, all in-camera.
Hybrid Still Image Capture
The FX2 brings the versatility of a hybrid camera to the Cinema Line, improving still-image capture and adding features such as Log shooting and user-LUT application.

  • Built-in toggle to switch from movie to still mode
  • Shoot 33MP JPG or HEIF images in S-Log3 for streamlined color grading
  • Capture photos from shot marks during internal video recording or playback
  • Apply previously imported user LUTs to captured still images
  • Flex or base ISO settings and S-Gamut3 or S-Gamut3.Cine color spaces
AI Subject Recognition
The FX2's AI processing unit delivers multiple improvements in autofocus, auto framing, and stabilization using deep learning. Analyzing colors, patterns, and depth, the processor maintains sharp focus with real-time subject recognition, identifying people, animals, and vehicles. Human and animal eye recognition is improved by 30% compared to the FX3 and FX30, making the FX2 ideal for fast-paced shooting scenarios, such as capturing wildlife and sporting events. This advanced tracking ability also allows for precise auto framing, adjusting the recorded composition to keep a subject center-frame.
Comprehensive Stabilization
Combining in-body optical image stabilization with AI processing power and E-mount lens metadata for post-production, the FX2 offers an array of ways to eliminate camera shake during handheld shooting.

  • 5-axis in-body optical image stabilization
  • Dynamic Active Mode for stable handheld shooting
  • Framing stabilizer uses advanced AI
  • Shake metadata is embedded into footage for post-production
Improved Accessibility
Inheriting the BIG6 home screen from high-end CineAlta cameras such as the VENICE, the FX2 allows easy adjustments to FPS, ISO, shutter angle, aperture, look, and white balance when set in Movie Mode. The 3" fold-out touchscreen LCD provides intuitive menu navigation and sports a tiltable design and 1.03m-dot resolution. Unique to the FX2 is a built-in 3.68m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with a 0.7x maximum magnification. Tilting from 0 to 90°, the EVF has a reversible rubber eyecup and 33mm eye point, allowing pinpoint framing in extreme lighting conditions.
Connectivity & Compatibility
The FX2 features expansive connectivity, with multiple options for power input, internal video recording, data output, and both wireless and USB streaming.

  • USB-C port for PD fast charging or LAN link using a gigabit Ethernet adapter
  • Stream at 2.4/5 GHz over Wi-Fi, or 5 GB/s via USB-C connection

Sony FX2 E Mount Reviews

The best Hybrid photo/video camera

By Spencer
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-02-16

This is the hybrid camera I always dreamed of. I own an fx6 and bought a a7rV for photo and to use as a b cam for video, but found the A7rV was overkill for my photo needs and underwhelming in video. The fx2 solves this. Video on par with fx6....it looks great, AI autofocus is better, and the OLPF is a great add that is missing in the other a7 cameras. The IO is awesome and I love the dual base iso of 4,000. 12,800 always felt to much on the fx3 so this is the perfect sweet spot for me. On the photo side I was afraid I might miss the 62MP of the a7rV but 33 is plent for my need. Still room to crop, but not massive files! I am now running 2 of these and use them more than anything else. I'll also add that I love the EVF. I think this was a missundersood camera when it came out...but its perfect for my needs

Perfect for my kit

Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-07

Love this camera. Upgraded from an a7iii. Needed those newer features, uninterrupted recording, etc. No regrets. Currently have an FX30 and this pairs perfectly with it in my multicam live streaming/event work. Right now the FX2 is an A-cam but it will probably become a go-to B-cam dedicated to tripod work as I fill out my kit with an FX3 or FX6 (or both). I appreciate the body is video-centric with the fan and overall layout but that it still has the EVF for still photography when I need it. I do mostly event work and it's already been clutch when my a7iii just wasn't serving me ideally with the lens options I have and use cases of long recording times, etc.

Is there an issue with a “wobbly” usb-c port?

Is there an issue with a “wobbly” usb-c port?
Asked by: David
The Sony FX2 Digital Cinema Camera with XLR Handle Unit (B&H# SOFX2XLR) is designed to have stable USB Micro B and USB C ports. None would wobble. Any wobbling under normal usage situations would either be due to the use of a poor quality cable (by far the most likely scenario), a defective unit, or damage to the unit.
