Sony’s $4,900 FX5 cinema camera looks stacked and is stacked.

The new Sony FX5 has a huge list of features for cinematographers. To name a few: a full-frame fully-stacked 5K sensor with open gate recording, three base ISO settings, dual gain shooting, and up to 120fps recording. And instead of just a typical add-on handle for XLR connections, you can instead slap on a $698 tiltable OLED viewfinder.

I wish every EVF-less camera had an EVF option.

Any guesses what’s inside?

It’s the prize pack I just boxed up for the second winner of our Today I’m Toying With giveaway. I’m drawing for the third winner right now, and you can enter to possibly become the fourth winner starting today! BTW, anyone need whistles? Those bags in the background are full of ‘em.

Hint: My hand is strategically blocking something.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch preorders come with a free gift card at Amazon.

We’ve just published the best preorder deals on Samsung’s new foldables, but you can also get a $50 Amazon gift card with the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 or a $100 Amazon gift card with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. As we noted in our hands-on impressions, both offer longer battery life and new preventive health features, including a unique Fitness Index that compares metrics like strength with other Samsung users.

Marshall wrapped a speaker in crushed purple velvet to celebrate Hendrix.

Its $299.99 Acton III Bluetooth speaker is now dramatically more groovy to celebrate the brand’s 60 year anniversary of working with the musician. But it’s not just about the new aesthetics. When you power the speaker on or off it also plays unique sounds sourced from Hendrix’s recordings.
