Sony FX5 Takes on VENICE-Like Qualities in Claudio Miranda Test
In a Sony-produced test with Claudio Miranda, ASC, the FX5 is compared to the FX3 using VENICE 2 as a reference. Miranda finds the FX5 exhibits softer highlight roll-off, more organic color transitions, cleaner deep shadows, and improved low‑light color integrity, giving it a closer VENICE-like character while not replacing the VENICE 2. The test also highlights familiar VENICE workflow elements and suggests the FX5 is a lighter production tool that aligns more with Sony’s high-end cinema philosophy, rather than a simple FX3 upgrade.
