New Sony FX camera to drop the Alpha control wheel for a VENICE-style dial

E8M_8888 says the new FX model swaps the usual directional control wheel for a VENICE and BURANO-style "Enter" dial, uses different threaded mounting points so existing FX3 cages won't fit, and has a top that takes an XLR handle, an external EVF and SDI expansion.
