The Sony FX2 is an interesting beast, although the one big caveat is that Sony still doesn’t have an internal RAW recording codec to call their own, and the external RAW output via HDMI is APS-C crop only. There’s still also no internal ND of any kind, which is strange considering the electronic ND equipped Sony FS5 is now over 10 years old.

Now we get to set up our quantum computer to work out which codec is active in which crop mode.

Have you ever felt that you’re in the wrong body. The S1 II must feel it, being in the body of a low-to-mid range camera when it is actually the first proper sensor and spec upgrade Panasonic has made since the original S1 in 2018. We have waited 7 years for it.
