This is not just a spec breakdown. I wanted to talk about how the FX5 actually feels to shoot with in the real world: Open Gate, internal RAW, 5K 120fps, Dynamic Active, false colour, the detachable EVF, the cinema-style workflow, and yes… the rebooting. To me, the FX5 is not really an FX3 II. It feels more like a compact cinema camera, closer in spirit to a mini Venice or Burano. And once I started treating it that way, it made a lot more sense.
