Key Advantages
The ILME-FX2B stands out for its extremely compact, lightweight design without compromising on performance. Its back-illuminated full-frame sensor increases dynamic range and low-light capability. The 4K/60p video recording ability with 16-bit RAW output supports demanding professional videography. In-body image stabilization allows up to 5.5 stops of shake correction for handheld shooting. Fast and precise autofocus, including real-time Eye AF for humans and animals, enhances shooting accuracy. The camera supports CFexpress Type A and SD cards for fast and flexible storage.
Limitations
The 12.1MP resolution may be considered low for still photography compared to other full-frame models targeting high-megapixel output. The battery life is moderate, requiring spare batteries for extended shoots. The absence of an internal flash might limit some snapshot scenarios. The ergonomics, while compact, may be less comfortable for users with large hands or those who prefer robust grips. The camera operates with Sony's E-mount lenses only, restricting adaptability to other mounts without adapters. Advanced features and menus can present a learning curve for beginners.
