The viewfinder is what I miss the most. I'm not a big fan of the loupe that came with my FS7m2 so I won't buy the one Sony ships with the FX9 for the FX6 I've ordered. The Zacuto Z-Finder seems to be OK but it's a bit pricey at € 500 plus VAT for ending up just with a magnification of the original 720p screen. How could Atomos sell me a Ninja which has a lot more features and 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution for € 300 plus VAT?

While I always watch the many KZfaq reviews of a new Sony Camera once the launch occurs and the review embargo is lifted, I always patiently wait for your review Philip and I’m glad your review always comes a few days to a week after the embargo.. (probably due to Neat video NR rendering your “compact” video in PP) I knew many reviewers would rave about the FX-6 size, specs and the price value for what it can produce, however I can’t think of a DP or film maker I trust more to explain (while entertaining me) ,what lies beneath the surface of a film making tool and what is great, good and what could be so much better with some additional effort. Thank you so much for what you do.

This, and all cameras, are just "one" firmware away from true greatness that will never happen, now or ever, because perfection kills business and business is the last thing to ever get killed.. even people get killed first. My take? There are too many cameras in the market already, just, too many. Just go out, shoot with whatever you have, and if what you create is telling, moving and has substance, positively no one will care what is what shot on, what codec you used or how good the dynamic range is. Another camera that Sony expects to sell to everyone that already has several other cameras because.. well.. it's better in some ways. Thank you for the review.. much better than the camera itself :)

@@frankfeng2701 Yes, fully agreed. But I feel more and more we live in a world of products being purposely released that are targeted for having limited and crippled functions so that you have to buy something else or keep desiring for the next thing.. or at the very least having to spend extra after your purchase along the way to fix things that should not need to be fixed or not having been added in the first place. This is not the question for the perfect camera quest, this is the question of cameras with things that make no sense and that have obvious flaws in an effort to buy several so all together you can actually get a working system with the features you need.

It can be sooo fantastic when someone like they guy in the van on Waterloo bridge waves to the camera looks directly into the lens or interacts somehow in a positive way.. if it fits what your filming of course... Unfortunately many people these days seem to be auspicious of people with cameras for some reason. So it's kind of exciting when someone does something like that and it adds a unique moment that will be impossible to replicate ever again.

Thanks for the review. In about 42 minutes, you got me laughing, listening, doubting the purchase of my fx9 which I received a week ago, but then again not doubting it as much whilst enjoying the lovely footage from the fx6, at times scratching my head but knowing the biggest part of the beautiful imagery is the operator as shown overall in this review and especially in the last shot how all of this ends with the tilt up to the firework. Well, have to go back to my fx9 and understand it better, while in the meantime waiting to see what the A7IV will bring. Thank you Philip.
