Sony Launches FX2 Cinema Camera With 33MP Sensor, 4K 60p Recording And Pro-Level Features

Sony has officially launched the Sony FX2 Cinema Camera with 33MP sensor, 4K 60p recording and pro-level features in India and globally. This new camera is part of Sony’s popular Cinema Line, which is trusted by professionals in the film and video industry. But now, with the Sony FX2, even serious YouTubers, wedding videographers, and indie filmmakers in India can get a powerful cinema camera that’s more compact, flexible, and budget-friendly.

Let’s talk in simple words about why this camera is making news, what it offers, how much it costs, and who should consider buying it.

Sony Launches FX2 Camera With Full-Frame 33MP Sensor And 4K 60p: Price, Specs, And Features

The biggest highlight is the 33MP full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor in the Sony FX2. This sensor is back-illuminated, meaning it captures more light and details, especially in low-light conditions. Whether you are shooting a wedding at night or a short film in a dark room, the sensor performs like a pro.

You also get 4K video recording at 60 frames per second (fps), which means smooth and cinematic shots. There is also Full HD 120fps option for slow-motion video, which is very popular in wedding, travel, and music videos.

Sony FX2 supports Dual Base ISO of 800 and 4000, and expandable ISO up to 102,400. In India, where lighting isn’t always perfect, this feature is a big help. It gives better dynamic range and less noise in difficult lighting conditions.

The price of the Sony FX2 starts around Rs 2,25,000 (USD 2,699) for body-only. With the XLR-H1 top handle (for professional audio input), the cost is around Rs 2,60,000 (USD 3,099). Pre-orders have started in global markets and are expected in India very soon.

Sony FX2 also brings many of Sony’s best features from its previous models like the Sony FX3 and Sony a7S III, but with some upgrades.

Here’s what makes it special:

• The FX2 supports 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording, which gives better color grading and more details.
• It includes S-Cinetone and S-Log3 profiles for cinematic color tones.
• You can add custom LUTs (Look-Up Tables) inside the camera and see the result live. This helps creators to preview the final color look while shooting.
• It comes with a tilting OLED EVF (electronic viewfinder), something many users missed in FX3. It’s great for outdoor shoots and when using the camera at waist level.

The FX2 can shoot for 13 hours continuously in 4K 60p because of its internal cooling fan. This is useful for long interviews, events, or live content creation.

Sony FX2 Launched With 4K Crop And Tilting EVF, Promising Pro Video And Stills In One Body

One special thing about Sony FX2 is that it is not just for videos. You can also click high-quality still photos with its 33MP sensor. That means creators who shoot both photos and videos don’t need two different cameras.

Sony also added Real-Time Eye Autofocus and AI-based subject detection, which helps in tracking people, animals, birds, and even vehicles. For wildlife videographers or vloggers who film in busy Indian streets, this is a very helpful tool.

The FX2 also supports Active Stabilization, helping reduce shakes even if you’re walking while shooting.

Build and Design – Compact Yet Powerful

The Sony FX2 weighs only 679 grams and has a compact body. You can hold it in hand easily or mount it on a gimbal or drone. It’s built with a strong magnesium alloy body, and it has multiple screw holes (mounting points), so you don’t even need a cage.

For solo creators, this lightweight setup is a blessing. Whether you’re shooting weddings in Jaipur, short films in Kerala, or travel vlogs in Ladakh, this camera fits into your bag and gives pro-level performance.

Sony FX2 Cinema Camera Review – Real Use for Indian Filmmakers

If you are in India and looking to step into the world of professional filmmaking or premium content creation, the Sony FX2 Cinema Camera is a serious option. It gives cinema-grade quality in a small, travel-friendly body. The features are good enough for corporate shoots, YouTube content, wedding films, OTT series, or even indie feature films.

And because Sony uses the E-mount lens system, you have a lot of lens options available in India from Sony, Sigma, Tamron, and others. That means you don’t have to spend a lot more on accessories.

Also, the XLR-H1 handle gives professional audio input, so even in noisy Indian locations like streets or functions, you can capture clean sound with external microphones.

The big question now is – who should buy this camera?

If you’re a YouTuber, wedding filmmaker, content creator, short filmmaker, or documentarian – this camera gives you features usually found in cameras costing over ₹4 lakhs. So yes, it’s a good investment.

For people who already use Sony cameras like the FX3 or A7 series, this could be a strong backup or B-cam. And if you’re switching from DSLR to mirrorless, this could be your first cinema-grade system.

Unique Insight – Sony Is Bridging The Gap Between Pro And Creator

Most cameras either focus on professional cinema features or social media-style vlogging tools. The Sony FX2 brings the best of both worlds. You get:

• Professional-grade video specs like 4K 60p, 10-bit recording, S-Log3.
• Creator-friendly size, tilting EVF, and long battery backup.
• And photography features with 33MP stills and RAW capture.

That’s what makes this launch unique in the Indian market. It’s not just another camera – it’s a tool designed with both professionals and solo creators in mind.
