Not the most promising news we want to hear. So it sounds like something is going down? This is a translation from the Japanese announcement. Link at the bottom. Chris Young FX5 News. Notice of Postponement of Release of Professional Camcorder "FX5" and Related Accessories Thank you very much...

Hmmm! Check this out folks. Chris Young https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CxeigvJMr/

This isn't even possible without modification to the Rokkor's flange back distance. I've got about a dozen MC/MD Rokkor lenses. They have a flange back distance of 43.5 mm. I have sometimes used them with Sony's E-Mount. But that's simple as the Sony E-Mount has an 18.0 mm flange back. The...

Surprised to hear about the overheating in 48p? That screen does look floppy. None of these cameras these days are built anything like an old ENG beast of old. How do you work your way out of that with firmware? I don't think you do. 1st models are always a bit of a suck it and see exercise...

SF. I don't think or haven't heard of any issues with the camera at all. In fact, the local feedback in Oz from the likes of one of our better known and respected shooters, Tim Hawkins has peen pretty positive. Check out his take on the '5'. Chris Young...

The QC issue was MASSIVE! 😲 Just joking. :ROFLMAO: Most industry insiders are putting it down to the earthquake. My youngest son was over in Japan at the time and said it was pretty major. Here is the latest news as to what happened atone of Sony's major sensor plants...

Whatever it offers in enhanced IQ over and above most of today's current cameras is pretty debatable for my stock-in-trade work when so much of it ends up on company website,s TV and YT and the like. For Indie filmmakers I can see the FX5 'appeal' but for an old jaded industry hack like myself...

I think you are right. It will probably become what the EX1 the FS7 and the A7Siii became, not the best in class necessarily but incremental landmark steps in camera evolution. Remembered for being sort of the first in class type of cameras. A colleague of mine was eagerly waiting for the specs...

Will be interested to hear your impressions when you get your mitts on one. Very interested! Chris Young (y) :D

Yes it does. Already installed and using DaVinci's Sony RAW controls. Very nice to work with, very nice! Chris Young

First play with one of the FX5 X-OCN files. First transcoded in Sony RAW viewer to XAVC, as Resolve wouldn't open the X-OCN. Then a Resolve CST + minor grade back to a CST to 709 Gamma 2.2. Very easy to manipulate. This is a hardware encoded H.265 using the NVIDIA encoder in Resolve. Download...

Actually, no. I can't open the OCN files. Only the audio is coming in. I've previously worked with X-OCN from both the Burano and the Venice in previous versions of Resolve, so I don't know what the go is here with them not coming in. Currently, quite a lot of people are reporting their...

I've just downloaded the free FX5 files from Visual Park. There are 5GB of XOCN files, 5K 24p Open Gate and 5K 60p and a bunch of XAVC files. The XAVC are all 5K 24, 60 and 120p, half of them Open Gate. On first inspection they look pretty good. They all play quite nicely in Resolve 21.03. I'll...

Agreed! I watched and also liked that. Very decent looking images. (y) But there again I really like what can be got out of an FX6. For all the pro I/O and E-ND and SDI the FX6 won't be going anywhere soon. Any camera that can deliver images like this is capable of covering anything I need to...

That's the answer, HARD stops! (y) Chris Young
