Sony fx5 vs sony fx2?

Both are full-frame Sony E-mount Cinema Line bodies with in-body stabilisation, so they take the same lenses. The differences are the sensor and the viewfinder. The Sony FX2 has 33 megapixels, was announced in 2025, and has a tilting viewfinder. The Sony FX5 has 16.6 megapixels, was announced in 2026, and uses a stacked sensor, with the viewfinder as an optional add-on.

If you want more resolution to crop into, I'd pick the FX2. If you want the newer design and don't need the extra pixels, the FX5 makes sense. Either way, for an everyday lens, I'd look at the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II or the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II.
