Sony FX5.
Full frame sensor, 5K Open Gate (FF 3:2), 21 recording formats with the manufacturer's data rates. Pick one to work out the terabytes for your shoot.
En español ↗S&Q Motion No sound and XAVC only (X-OCN has no S&Q). 4K and DCI 4K up to 120 fps, 150 to 240 fps only in HD. XAVC S-I above 60 fps in 4K, or above 120 fps in HD, needs CFexpress Type A VPG200.
X-OCN records only in Cine EI mode, on CFexpress Type A VPG400 cards. Sony publishes X-OCN recording times but no X-OCN bit rates or pixel sizes, so X-OCN is listed without a data rate. With Dual Gain, 5K 3:2 stops at 30 fps. Firmware 2.0, planned by Sony for August 2027 or later, adds 5K X-OCN at 120 fps and 4K at 240 fps.

Rates at 24 fps in decimal units (1 TB = 1,000 GB). RAW and intra-frame formats store a fixed size per frame, so their rate grows with the frame rate. ● marks a fixed bitrate, the same at any frame rate. Max fps: the normal maximum on the best media, in orange a special mode, in grey the limit on smaller media.
