Sony FS5 Review in 2023

Today we are taking a look at the Sony PXW-FS5 mark 1 in 2023 review. It was released 7 years ago at the end of 2015, but how good is it in 2023?

It is still a decent camera in 2023, but it is definitely starting to show it's age. 4k in only 8 bit, bad autofocus, no internal microphone, no 3.5mm jack, no 4k at 60fps, bad low light, but that doesn't mean that it is a bad camera. It has some amazing features like the built in variable ND filter. It also has a lot of manual controls on the side so you can quickly change settings. What do you think of the sony pxw fs5? are you planning on buying one in 2023 or do you still use one? let me know in the comments.
