I'm split in between getting one and the R5C. Also a long-term FS7 user, this camera still does it for me in 2022. Absolute workhorse. Love the IQ in Cine EI mode. The shoulder mount ENG config is what sets it apart from the rest of the "budget" cine cams out there. Would love an FX9 but I can't really justify the $11K price tag upgrade.

Yes, I really wish that the C70 and FX6 offered an evf add on for shoulder, handheld use. PannySVHS and Juank 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever used the SDI ports on my FS7 so not a big deal for my type of shooting. C70 is definitely more of a solo operator, run & gun cam. The form factor is also something to consider. There's a real market for that segment although I agree it doesn't overlap with FS7/FX9 market. Again with internal RAW coming and the C300mk3 DGO sensor it can be a valid option over an FX6 as this user explains why he switched: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 C70 probably is the biggest threat to the FX6 becoming "the next FS7 camera default" (for the low/mid market). Think the C300mk3 has a similar problem as the FX9: fails to come under that magical "$10K barrier". But it is those little things like a lack of SDI which I think will put a limit on just how widespread its appeal will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Oh I agree, C70 won't be as popular in rental houses or green-screen studios etc due to lack of SDI's & mini XLR ports. But also lens system. Sony has a Pro Cine zooms and such whereas RF is basically just photo lenses as of right now. That's actually a major factor that places the FX line way ahead of C70. The Vari ND is also a killer feature. I guess thinking of it more, the FX6 is really growing on me. Maybe I should consider upgrading to it from my FS7?

Django Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Been playing around with some FX6 footage, gotta say wow I'm very impressed. Maybe not as clean shadows or as organic looking as C70's DGO sensor but overall just excellent detailed IQ with a modern look that can be "mojo'd up" when pairing with vintage lens & grade: Getting Venice vibes from this cam's IQ. Biggest/Only con for me is no 4K S35 mode. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yeah I have been poking around at footage from them and I am Really amazed how good it looks. This camera seems to have most of what a person needs, and the output seems as good as anything I have seen out there short of an Arri. If I was in the market for a higher end camera the FX6 would be at the top of my list. Sony has done a pretty amazing job with the color science and the organic feel of the sensor.

It's behind the Pana S1 and C70 in terms of dynamic range. But probably close enough to where it doesn't matter that much. The low rolling shutter is a huge plus. It sets it apart as a professional tool from the P6K, C70, and S1H. Also the 120p doesn't have lower dynamic range like on the C70 and the P6K and S1H's 120p is barely usable. The E-ND is also a huge plus. Also it has full size SDI and the body doesn't feel like a toy, looking at you C70. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste66 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I pre-ordered my camera back in January has no information on when this will be shipped. But Amazon pushed the estimated delivery from February to November! But I'm glad that it's available to order here: https://camix.co.uk/product/sony-fx6-cinema-camera/ TomTheDP, Juank and IronFilm 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webrunner5 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 The FS6 with the ability to set the electronic ND filter on auto is a total game changer for run n gun I think. PannySVHS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PannySVHS Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Plus classleading lowlight quality without codec mush unlike the A7S3 plus 10bit in 422 full width of its FF sized sensor in all frame rates. Very fast sensor readout. @webrunner5 webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
