@@chekyourhed I would not consider the FX6 to be a consumer camera. It's a professional cinema camera. The FX9 can do all this and more with a larger form factor and broadcast codecs. Hollywood typically relies on ARRI Alexa cameras because they're the standard. The industry knows how these cameras work and how the footage grades, inside and out. And merely being the industry standard counts for a lot because of sharing files, training, and lighting. It's what they're accustomed to using throughout the industry. ARRI and RED cameras have amazing dynamic range and color science, which is how they became industry standards. Sony's own Venice camera is starting to get more use in movies as well. With that said, the gap has closed quite a bit. You can get amazing, cinematic footage from even the a7 IV. The Panasonic S1H is actually Netflix-approved as a primary video camera even though it's a "consumer camera" that takes stills. And, of course, the cinema cameras from Canon, Sony (except the FX3), and Panasonic are as well. Indy Mogul did a video comparing the a7S III with an Alexa and a Sony Venice. There were minor differences, but if you weren't comparing them side-by-side, you would never notice.

The dynamic range, color science and workflow of RED and Arri cameras are far superior for the work I do. Also I don’t care if the camera has auto focus, a first AC is far superior. However I work on commercials for multi billion dollar clients, so there’s a higher caliber expected on these shoots. Most independent filmmakers and KZfaqrs will do just fine with cameras like the Sony and Canon.

@@chekyourhed No one is saying Hollywood should switch to the Sony FX6 or anything similar for the next big-budget feature film. We're starting see the Sony Venice creep into a few TV / streaming productions. However, where these cameras and even good hybrids like the a7S III can fit in nicely is for independent films, corporate video, documentaries, and advertising...those mid-level productions.

You have to purchase based on your niche. If your niche is run and gun/wedding video, vlog or travel video, works well on a gimbal and does not require professional audio, then the A7SIII is your best bet. However, if your niche is corporate video (like mine) where the audio is paramount, and you need the best audio available. For corporate work professional XLR audio is a must. In this case the FX-6 or the FX-3 is the best option for my type of work. 95 percent of what I shoot is on a tripod and any B-Roll is captured on my FX-3 on the gimbal.

But I think you'll find something you're happy with. Let us know what you ended up getting. I assume you have a backup camera that you would use for stills anyway, if you got the FX6. So at least you have that.

The Sony NX80 also has XLR inputs, built in ND filters, 10 different picture profiles, 4K 30p at under $2000. The only downfall is that it has a 1 inch sensor but it still delivers an incredible looking Sony image. Traditional video cameras aren't completely dead. I feel like most people fall into this category but are afraid because the ergonomics looks dated.

If you want the same A7S3 sensor but proper internal processing without the nasty noise reduction, the FX6 is the way to go still. Watch the FX6 vs A7s3 comparison on ProAV, the A7s3 looks just nasty below middle gray unless you overexpose by at least 2-3 stops. That basically means the A7s3's usable latitude is almost 3 stops lower than the rest of the 12 bit ADC competition which is a disaster.

Sarah Dietch just did a good video on using the FX6 in a Multicom setup and how it speeds up her workflow and makes color correction consistent and easier since she is only working from one type of camera. She is talking about a Multicam setup from the perspective of a professional KZfaqr rather than a professional filmmaker. There is a great deal of overlap, but her environment is a much smaller set with just a single camera operator. Coordinating a larger team with multiple sets and a larger landscape-type environment might be different. The differences are more workflow than camera technical I suspect.

You'r absolut right with the impression a bigger cam will make to clients. But therefore i do have a DVX200 with a big 4K sign on its cover😜 And to make some "additional" shots, i do have this little GH5s beside. Clients will not recognize, that is shoot most of the footage with my GH5s that beside, make 12bit raw 50p in 4k. So it makes nearly the same quality like a fx6. And for interview where i need the XLR i do have the DVX200. So why should i change to a FX6? Just for having both in one camera? The only reason for me, would be a 8k resolution. So i could shoot 8k to get out 4k, exact the way i shoot 4k now, to get out 1080p. But that will deliver none of them all. So if i switch next year, it will probably be a Ursa 12K

Where this camera fits? In shooting video. I worked years with the FS100 and still use them. I work with the A7III since its released. Everytime I'm shooting with the alpha I hear things like "Oh, so we just shoot photos?" "what? This is a video camera?" - it's useful in some situations to not get recognized, but at some shoots (especially higher paid productions) its just strange. At one web-commercial I rigged up my FS-100 for the BTS photos just because its bigger and looks more professional. The client reacted like i expected: "oh wow, what a big camera! it must be good production" So size does matter. And thats why I would prefer the FX6 on "Bigger sets" and the Alpha-series for run and gun, multi-camera things.

Love the iso 12,800 for low light and S-Cine is sweet. It's a win win SONY ❤️

I know this is nit picky, but it bugs me that the Fx6 crops in slightly when recording Raw externally. I’d love that extra .2K for stabilization, oversampling, etc. If this camera can do 4k60 to an Atomos, does it really not have the bandwidth for 4.2k30?? Love Sony, but all of their products have these little “gotcha”s

Good video Chris. In my opinion the A7Siii will be more expensive at the end after adding the port for xlr, ND..... If I were you I'd get the FX6. You'll have everything you need there.

I really had fun listening to you arguing back and forth :D I own a FX6 and for me coming from an FS7, doing also broadcast, it does the job really well but I get that for your use case the A7s is the best choice. Still, another big downside of the FX6 is for me that you can´t mount it on most smaller gimbals. Sure you can mount it onto a DJI RS2 but having to strip everything off makes it impossible to switch between gimbal and other supports quickly.

The Canon R6 has all that (except XLR audio inputs) for $2500. Why not choose that one?

You also get something on the FX6 that the A7S III doesn't have which is 4K DCI and true 24p. Not to mention timecode port and a full size HDMI and SDI port. And the amount of time you save by not having to ever change ND's when you change lenses is insurmountable.

Someone needs to make a mirrorless camera with built-in NDs, and ideally this automatic ND. Yes, it would be a little bulkier. But it would be worth the tradeoff for a lot of people. The BMPCC 6K Pro is sort of like what I'm picturing, but it doesn't have IBIS or much in the way of autofocus...so it isn't useful as a photo camera. I want it all! Also, hats off to Sony for adding S-Cinetone to the a7S III and even the a7 IV.

I have buying a RED, why i think, that clients spend extra money for this good image und quality. Now i have a RED Gemini for 3 years and the answer ist.... Yes! Clients spend extra money and love it. 😄 So, when somebody ask me, if it is good to buying a big camera for more personal image, than do that. It is 100% true, that everybody talk about you and your gear. Or can you remember the guy, last time with the sony?

I wish Sony would come up with an a7siii which has xlr, timecode, variable nd filter, 8k and that is priced about $1,000 less than the fx6. Maybe an fx4 or fx5? But then, am I asking for too much?
