Rent the Sony FX5 at the Best Price: Why CineRentals Offers the Sharpest Rates in the Netherlands
The new Sony FX5 has been officially announced and demand for this full-frame cinema camera is already surging. The purchase price sits around 5,600 euro for the body alone, and up to six thousand euro with the XLR handle. For most filmmakers, content creators and production houses, renting is simply the smarter choice. At CineRentals in Amsterdam, you can reserve the FX5 starting at 85 euro per day or 270 euro per week, including service, insurance and expert advice.

Renting versus buying: which one makes sense?
Buying a cinema camera at nearly six thousand euro is an investment that only pays off after dozens of shoot days per year. For independent cinematographers, small production houses and freelance DPs, the math looks very different.
Say you shoot ten projects per year with the FX5. Buying means 5,600 euro up front, plus insurance, maintenance, storage and depreciation that easily hits a thousand euro after the first cycle. At CineRentals, ten shoot days cost you 850 euro, or ten weeks at the weekly rate come to 2,700 euro. You save thousands that you can reinvest in lenses, lighting or audio gear.
On top of that, you always work with the latest version. Sony will roll out firmware updates in 2027 that add 5K 120 fps and extra frame rates. As a renter, you get those improvements automatically without having to install anything yourself.
What is included in the rental price?
At CineRentals you get more than just a camera body. Every standard rental includes everything you need to hit the ground running:
- Sony FX5 body, fully cleaned and calibrated
- Original battery plus a spare
- Fast charger and USB-C cables
- Memory card reader
- Rugged carrying case
- Full insurance coverage for the entire rental period
- Phone support from our technical team
Combine the FX5 with a complete package
A cinema camera reaches its full potential only when paired with the right lenses, audio and lighting. At CineRentals you can build a complete package at a bundled rate that typically comes in below the cost of renting each item separately. Popular combinations include:
- For documentary and interview work: FX5 with the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II and the Rode Wireless PRO for wireless audio.
- For commercials and music videos: FX5 with the Aputure LS 600c Pro II RGB LED for color-controllable lighting and the DJI RS4 Pro Combo gimbal for smooth motion shots.
- For 5K RAW recording: FX5 with a CFexpress Type A 1TB card for enough storage to cover long shoot days without interruption.
- Browse the full range in our cameras, lenses, audio and lighting categories.
