Sony FX2

Just when u thought S1II price is a bit excessive, Sony is upping the game with the same 33MP sensor but add $1000 extra for a new body.

I doubt anyone will find the Sony price excessive. Somehow Sony seems to have appled this delusional pricing to their smartphones too, and that's one of the reasons that they're nowhere among the top 5 or perhaps even the top 10 smartphones in many  markets.

So what is this supposed to be, - like a hybrid of the FX3 and the A7iv because it’s not cinema camera as such because it has a mech shutter?

Interesting because I have always likes and preferred this body style over the more traditional DSLR type.

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! One more round, one more ride!

So what will the price of FX3II? $5000?

I've heard a few times that the sensor in the A7 IV is pretty fantastic, though I haven't used it myself.  It makes perfect sense to put it in a cine-style body!

Less sense to give it a mechanical shutter.

Even less sense to do it... now?  The A7 IV came out in 2021.  Why wait 4 years to release the cine equivalent?

And while I know that AI AF on the specsheet is AI Autofocus which has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with actually-useful ML, describing anything as "AI AF" automatically makes me not want it.  😉

$3500, wow.

It's almost as if the Trump Tarrifs have given everyone the excuse to globally raise prices in unison like a big cartel / monopoly. Not good.

Gotta squeeze the last juice out of the fruit. There are a lot of FX3 users itching to buy a new camera, and either the FX3II isn't coming soon or they plan to raise the price significantly.
