- Are you looking at upgrading to the Sony FX9 from a FS7 or want to know which one to buy as a new camera? As a long time Sony FS7 user I explain why I believe the FX9 is a better camera and worth the upgrade.

Great overview. Both are excellent cameras, and the FS7 will still stand up for a while yet, but the FX9 looks like the new gold standard for broadcast/doc/corporate gigs.
Thanks Levi, Ya I do see the popularity of the FS7 going down anytime soon.
FS7 is still relevant! As I just purchased a secondhand Sony FS7, and it is nearly 2021. Because I found the FS7 at a *fantastic* price secondhand. And after six years with the Sony PMW-F3 I felt it was high time for an upgrade.
i know this is an old comment but last week i got a crazy deal and picked one up for 500$ It even came with top handle, monitor and grip
@@marvinmoviemaker damn that's an INSANE price! I really should sell mine now, it's been 3yrs, need to get rid of it before it becomes worthless 😞
Great comparison. Very tempted to upgrade my FS7 and this video has really helped. Thanks mate.
Glad you found it helpful Daniel!
Hey man! Just got my FX9 coming from FS7. Was it a wise choice in 2023? People are loving the FX6 but I was never a fan of the FS5.
Like the Fx9, but the Fs7 is still the most requested camera from my clients (something that doesn't look to change for a while), so no need to update to it for me yet.
Same, I still get tons of work bc of my FS7. I want the FX9, but am in no rush.
I just watched Transformer because of a old video i watched from Mike Del Monte. You did a great job with the Cinematography. Just saw your name in the credits. Never knew.
Awesome thanks Josh!
None of the features of the fx9 for me make the massive cost of it worth it. I'll be looking at an fs7, but great video. It really helped me make my choice
Love it man! Thanks for the review!
How is the autofocus on FS7II?
best settings to match fs7 mark 2 and fx9 please (no slog)? did you ever made the video explaining this?
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU MAKING A HONEST VIDEO ON FX9 DRAWBACKS, WEAKNESS, WHERE IT LACKS. REASONS NOT TO BUY FX9. + THINGS TO ADD UP TO FX9 TO MAKE IT A COMPLETE "FILMMAKING" CAMERA, FOR EX... BEST RIG, MAT BOX, ND/PL, EXT REC, BEST V-MOUNT, MICS, EXT MONITOR, ETC.
I'm keeping my two FS7's as 'B' cams ... The FS7 is still a superb camera. The Fx9 has very good tracking auto focus and a more useable out of the box preset, but using S-Log3 images should match up well?
Very interesting info and great comparison thanks 🙏
Awesome video thanks Brian!
Do you recommend the Panasonic AU EVA1?
Really great comparison!
Hi Brian, recent subscriber thanks for the FX9 content. One thing i'm struggling with is viewing my footage prior to importing into Premiere .I'm currently staring at 300GB worth of files so rather than importing directly then create proxies i'd like to scrub through my footage first to decide what files i import. I'd be interested in your work flow to get around this. Do you use any media player that can play MXX files, or do you just import all your files directly into your video editing software? Probably sounds like a rookie question but it would really help me out to get an efficient workflow sorted out as quickly as possible to shooti with my new FX9 which iam vry pleased with. Thanks in advance.
Hi David, on you on Mac or PC? On mac with latest OS you can spacebar MXF files to play them in the browser and scrub through them. Otherwise VLC player will play and up MXF files and Kyno is also really great software for browsing, organizing, and transcoding footage lesspain.software/kyno/
@@BrianHunt PC kyno looks good
Hey how do you compare to the new Blackmagic ursa mini pro ? which one would you pick vs FX9??? im really confused and cant make up my mind.....im scared to go blackmagic
I did a review on the Ursa Mini Pro just before I got my FX9 ua-cam.com/video/rHEFHuuCuHA/v-deo.html
I am happy I went with the FX9, the auto focus, variable ND make it a much better choice for me.
Nice video. I just pulled the trigger on FX9 for interiors work and am waiting for it to ship. Question about the dual native ISO...wouldn't it be better to, at 4000, decrease the gain a few notches VS doing it with the ND, or does pegging it at 4000 and using ND preserve the most dynamic range?
Curious as to your experience now that you likely own the camera. I am contemplating buying an fx9 since clients are starting to request it more. Regarding your question, it’s my understanding that by setting it to 4000 you are basically using the higher base iso which will have the same noise and dynamic range as the lower base iso. So unless you can just use the lower base iso in order to not use the ND filter, stick with 4000. What has been your experience with this since owning the camera?
That moment when im still using FS700r + inferno...
The S-log 3 colours are legit on the FX9 and hearing about that 120fps in 4k is great!
I thought 120fps in 4K isn't out yet, so how do you know it's great?
Sony is misleading people by calling the FX9 a "full frame" and it is not. It is NOT ''full frame". An actual "full frame" sensor or image is 36mm wide and 24mm high, same as the original 35mm film image. THIS camera is 35.7 wide (nearly the same width) BUT only 18.8 mm high a full 5.2mm almost 28%) LESS image than the true height of a full-frame image. What a lie to call it "FULL FRAME" when it is not. The original 36mm x 24mm is a different ratio and this is wider, but not as tall, to more conform to the traditional 1.5 ratio, close to the original 4:3 image size, similar to the original Hollywood Academy aspect ratio. This is a 1.88:1 ratio, not 1.37 or 1.67 (TV or Super 16) or even 1:85 Super 35, it is a different ratio but NOT full frame as we know it today. A marketing ploy but when you want to use the traditional 4:3 ratio you cannot without losing a fourth of the image area you HAVE with a true 24mm x36mm full frame. Shame on them for calling this Full Frame when it is not. Close, but not full frame.
I hope it weighs less, I'm getting too old for the FS7s weight hahah.
FS7 shoots 180 FPS at 1080p - I'm assuming the same for the FX9
For my first cinema camera would you recommend the FS7 mark 1 or the C200? I don't want to spend $5000 for an 8bit camera (C200) but im not sure. What do you think?
do NOTTT even get that c200 lol. cuz if u want good quality from it you''d be FORCED to film in raw, and also the 8 bit looks worse than some dslrs.
@@DirectorCyclone Thank you, lol. I'ma just save and get the FS7.
JoshDidItt 🙏🏽🔥
@@joshdiditt get the fx6
@@ConorButler That's what I'm getting. No one in their right mind would get a C200 now up unless it's $3500
As your talking about auto focus your cameras auto focus is drifting in and out of focus 😂
All the review on UA-cam sound similar, what reviewers forget to test is the camera reliable, I have a FS7 and over time using it, the dc jack middle core pop out, the video jack get damage, and after a couple years in a pelican case cause the camera not able to power up, compare to my Nikon d810, the DSLR is way more reliable
Blah, blah, blah, we need footage. We can read the specs on our own, dude.
