@@Exx0S yeppp, you’re 100% right, it’s a purpose built camera, not a compromised do it all camera like the a7siii is. Things like in built slr, with decent preamps, built in ND filters, proper video functions and features. When you shoot actual events, films (to a lesser extent as it’s common to use drop in filters for a matte box), etc, having in built NDs is a must, especially compared using screw in NDs or variable NDs. Other things like DCI and shutter angle are also extremely helpful. I I stlll can’t believe the a7siii doesn’t have shutter angle options. The gh5 had shutter angle all the way back in 2017, the lumix s5 which is like half the price of the a7siii and is even more of a hybrid camera, has shutter angle. The a7siii is a killer camera, but even with it’s extra features, a pro using this camera for what it is designed for, will take the fx6 over the a7siii any day of that week.

I'm so conflicted! Thank you for the (at times brutally) honest review! Ultimately I think I'm going to keep my A7Siii order (which I'm still waiting on despite placing the order way back in Sept), AND get this to use along with it, and for situations where the Variable ND or ability to use the zoom rocker come in handy. I film skateboarding, and long lens shots with a zoom rocker are still something I like to use pretty frequently.

Thank you for the video Gerald ! To be honest, as an A7SIII owner, I was a bit nervous about the FX6, basically an A7SIII in a pro body, but two differences comforts my choice : IBIS and 4.2K RAW. Of course variable ND filter is fantastic, but I prefer to have image stabilization and use Polar Pro variable ND as a less ergonomically friendly trade-off. Also, 4.2K RAW offers more re-framing and/or stabilization possibilities in my opinion but hats off to Sony who implemented it via SDI this time. (I'm not a fan of XDCA extensions at all) That said, it's a fantastic camera and I'm sure a lot of people will use it to produce amazing looking content !

The A7Siii does have them and they’re great with FCP X straight out of the camera with no transcoding, with hardware acceleration at 4K 50fps 4:2:0 10 bit. Given it’s the same chip did Sony forget?🧐

I was going to cancel my A7S3 pre-order this morning until I saw that part about the no audio when stripped down and used on a gimbal. Thank you, GU. Of course, there is a work around using an external recorder and Tentacle Sync but that’s extra stuff to carry and worry about. I think the real deal-breaker for me is the old Sony interface. I sold my FS7 for an Ursa Mini Pro G2 and now have 3 BM cameras because the interface is incredible and makes creating such a pleasure when you’re not stressed falling into the Sony menu sub levels like “Inception” 😭🤣.
