Sony may not be slowing down after the launch of the Alpha A7R VI<\/a>. According to multiple reports, the company is preparing to unveil two new cameras this month, including a long-awaited bridge camera and a new addition to its Cinema Line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rumor sites suggest Sony will announce the RX10 V in early July, followed later in the month by a new cinema camera<\/a> that is widely believed to be the Sony FX5.<\/span><\/p>\n

As with all pre-release reports, these details remain unconfirmed and should be treated as rumors until Sony makes an official announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sony FX5 Rumored to Bring 5K Open Gate Recording<\/b><\/h2>\n

According to Sony Alpha Rumors, Sony is expected to announce the FX5 sometime in mid-July. The report has also been backed by reliable leaker Camera Insider, although the latter referred to the camera as the FX4, leading to some confusion over the final product name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Early rumors<\/a> suggest the camera could feature a new 16-megapixel fully stacked global shutter sensor capable of recording 5K video at up to 240fps, along with 5K 3:2 open gate recording. Reports also claim the camera will feature full-sensor phase-detection autofocus.<\/span><\/p>\n

If accurate, open gate recording would mark a notable shift for Sony’s Cinema Line.<\/span><\/p>\n

“On multiple occasions, Sony managers said they didn’t believe it was a feature users really needed,” Sony Alpha Rumors writes. “But it looks like they’ve finally changed their mind: the upcoming Sony FX5 is expected to feature full open gate support. Specifically I have been told the camera has open gate 5K 3:2 support!”<\/span><\/p>\n

While none of these specifications have been confirmed, open gate recording has become increasingly common among competing hybrid and cinema cameras from Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and Blackmagic Design.<\/span><\/p>\n
