FX5 overview

The Sony FX5 is a 16.6 MP full-frame mirrorless camera for Sony E-mount, announced by Sony in July 2026.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits vlogging and selfies as well as low light. It is a weaker pick for eye-level shooting in bright sun.

New, it sells for A$7,770 to A$7,849.95 at the 4 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock.

Worth comparing it with the Sony FX3, Canon EOS R6 V and Nikon ZR.

Low light & noise

Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
