#fx6 #sonyalpha #sonyfx6
the ability to shoot some sort of open gate, 3:2 format would be ace. The Fx6 gets used on so many content style jobs that require the footage to be repurposed into so many different deliverables it would be a much friendlier fame in while shooting. would also love to see the switch to Type B cards. would also love the ability to shoot in pro res internally but appreciate their might be a licensing issue with that. then obviously better dynamic range feels like a real buzzword thing to say and a bit of a noob thing to ask for but given how run and gun friendly the camera is constantly pushing the tech and capabilities when it comes to highlight roll off and dynamic range will always be key with these types of cameras.
"Baby wake up, CVP just posted another video"
'are you serious? Let me sleep camera geek' 😁
BRAW is exciting, looking forward to it being available for FX3
As an FX6 owner who shoot tens low-budget (from 3K$ up to 200K$ ) projects from docs to reality to small form narratives on it my wishlist in priority order:
1) IBIS
2) 4K in S35 mode
3) Larger EVF (5-inch would be ideal) which does not freeze in cold environment (something like C300mk3/C500mk2 has)
4) Locking E-mount
5) internal lite raw codec for narrative parts in docs and music videos
6) 3,5 mm audio input on the body
7) not so ergonomic and comfortable handle grip (bc you must rotate it constanly and wire connection got damaged in cold)
Everything else in FX6 is near perfect even in 2024.
I'd like to see 6k or 8k, a 3.5mm audio input on the body, a flavor of compressed raw, and for the love of god give us video display mode. There is no reason I should have to see all of my spec info over top of my image - just downscale the image by 5% and put the info in the negative space. Otherwise there's really not much else I want from a camera in this form factor. A few MAJOR wishlist items that are more specific to the camera industry as a whole - would love a small internal battery that keeps the body going for say 60 seconds so you can hotswap batteries on the fly. Would love more options to customize the menu. And the first camera to figure out how to rotate the sensor to give me a 9x16 mode will take my cash quickly. Sony's other major selling point to me is their software/app development. It's making a LOT of things easier. Killer video as always yall!!
So basically you want a sony C80
As a Canon user who's been conemplating a jump to Sony and buy their first cinema camera, Sony needs to come out with a couple of announcements because the c400/c80 is very enticing.
If you're already a canon guy why not just stick with them and go with the C80/400, especially if you already have the lenses
Hear that. Would love the C80, am just concerned client and broadcast PMs can’t get past the Sony name.
CVP always makes this type of video when they know something new is coming 😂😂
To me, a Mark II MUST have a locking E-Mount. Maybe they can do something that combine the lock of the mount on the FX9/Burano/Venice with the twist/button system of the current FX6 (a bit like RED does with the RF-Mount of the Komodo-X).
I would also love for Sony to ditch CF Express Type A in favor of Type B cards. As for resolution, honestly if given the choice between upgrading to 6K or keeping this one BUT have access to 3:2 recording modes, I would prefer the latter. (or do both :p)
Finally, I wish Sony would bring back some sort of internal 4:4:4 12 Bit recording.
If they can introduce a 6k sensor with comparable light gathering and read speed to the FX6 then fantastic. Seems like Canon may have hit that mark with the C400/80 and Sony won’t want to lag in the category for long. Polarizer compatible ND would be valuable. A more flexible audio input design is an essential including a standard 3.5mm jack. X-OCN would be great but can CFExpress A support the bandwidth? I don’t have those numbers in front of me. USB-C peripheral support is starting to become standard. Hopefully they aren’t behind on that but I won’t hold my breath. Overall though, I know the quirks of the FX6 and don’t feel like I’m in a hurry for an upgrade. But when Sony is ready to ship, I will probably be ready to add another camera to my kit.
3:2 mode, raw lite and XLR on the body would be my top 3 Wishlist features
Its low light is great for FX but having something able to do s35 at 4k in this bodyform with a locking mount would be great for natural history work, where it is popular.
Change to CFE B would be nice and release an XLR box so we can remove the damn handle and get sound!
Was really disappointed to see that there was no FX6 or FX9 successor announced at IBC this year. With the C400 and C80 out, Sony really cant afford to wait until IBC 2025 to get a new product out.
It's a good camera because it lacked of competition. Wait for the C400/C80 and you'll start to see way less FX6 around.
It had competition. C70, ursa 12k and red komodo were all released at the time. C70 vs Fx6 was a huge discussion at the time. It was just a more attractive offer for many compared to its competition.
You’re comparing a 4 year old camera to the latest releases of one company. At least wait for Sony to update the Fx6.
@@ItsMidasProductions of the cameras you mentioned, only the C70 can be seen as a direct competitor to the FX6 and since it's not a full frame camera, I'd argue that it's a different league as well. So I agree with @TheVexHead that the FX6 was a quite unique camera for the last 4 years.
I would have liked to agree but Canon's biggest weakness is still the closed RF mount. Yes Sigma is coming but it's really late and it will take them years to build up the lens selection that Sony users already have.
It's a step in the right direction but they also have no capable entry level models to entice people to join the ecosystem or use as as b cam to the c80. Sony is winning a lot of those with fx30 and fx3.
@@janisbrod I’m not denying that the Fx6 was unique among its contemporaries. I’m refuting the idea that no competition existed for it, and that being the reason it was good.
Consumers had plenty of options to choose from, regardless of whether the intentionality behind each product lined up. It was/is good because it was better for more people and It doing more than what was otherwise available at the time should not be a knock against it.
I’m also saying we should wait for Sony to release an Fx6 II.
Bought one used as my long term body. It's been ideal and a perfect match for my A7S III. And BRAW coming soon is mega! Even if I likely will never touch it.
how do you think it compares to a7s3 footage?
I love the VND of the Fx6 but if I we could have an improvement on it it would that the the range of ND goes from 1 stop to 9/10 instead of 2 to 7 stop.
Fx6 codec is it's weakest point. Cannot believe you can only record long gop at 420 8 bits. Want 10 bits? Only intra. And not hevc. U know what, fx3 can do that. It's insane
I haven't tested it myself but according to Sony's documemtation you can record long gop 422 10 bit at 1080p, its only 4k you drop to 420 8 bit.
@@nathanielelijah5899it’s been like that since the fs7. It’s such an outdated and unnecessary limitation of Sony’s high end cinema cameras.
The Intra codec wrapped in MXF files of the FX6 are way better in post than the XAVC-S I of the FX3. You can adjust white balance and EI exposure accurately and very quickly in Resolve through the RAW tab in seconds without having to transcode in Catalyst which can take hours for big projects. The workflow in post is just much more efficient with the MXF files of the FX6.
When shooting with the FX3, I never use long GOP codecs anyway, but I agree that it’s always good to have additional options.
For me, the Intra codec of the FX6 is actually one of the most useful features, the files sizes are totally worth it in post. Greetings
@@nathanielelijah5899 the 1080p on this camera looks terrible, it has huge problems with moiré/aliasing. The FX6 is really only good for Full Frame 4k All-I recording, anything else is a big compromise.
i'd have the XLRs back on the body like the fs5, even if it was one and even if it was mini, better than nowt. I'd also love to see a hot shoe adapter for the handle port. so then you could use the already huge amount of accesories available. A light RAW option would also be on par with the current crop. I am not sure we'd see the Bruano ND system though maybe something inbetween and IBIS could be a great option, especially for myself using handheld for weddings! I dont see the 32 bit float or the 6k though both would be fantastic additions.
NEEDED this video
I really hope that videos like these are an indication that something is coming soon. Its to late in the cycle for someone like me to get an FX6 or FX9 seeing as the new ones are (supposedly) on the horizon. These delays have been torture!
Your wishlist FX6 II is the Sony Burano. There is no intermediate, maybe a $10k Burano with plastic body.
Other than the absolutely brilliant nd filter, I think the new c400 edges it out now. 6K oversampled 4K should now be the standard for most higher end cameras these days. Just my opinion.
i love my fx6
Do you have any inside info that Sony is going to update this camera soon?
He would share that information for sure to make sure to get sued by Sony and blacklisted from everyone
@@NicoBaum-dr5sfthey did a C70 video a month or two ago and now we have the C80. It's possible a new FX6 is coming, especially after 4 years so I wouldn't be surprised if something is on the horizon
@@front_row_video it’s coming for sure! But CVP or any other person wouldn’t share inside information until the official announcement.
@@NicoBaum-dr5sf no of course not
I love my FX6 but i hate the Display/EVF. I hope the next FX6 will have a better on or a real EVF like the New Blackmagic or just a Small Display on the side like the Raptor.
RF mount poor 3rd party support means the FX6 and its iteration isn’t gonna face much of a competition even with the newer docu style cinecams from Canon
the only Sony camera I'd actually wann buy
Are you trying to move your FX6 inventory? Canon C400 is the camera to buy.
This is such a remarkable camera. I wonder if Sony has a 6K Sensor ready that can offer the same, if not better, low-light performance, read-out speed, and high frame rates.
FX9
@@SuperPhunThyme100 FX9 sensor can't do anything he mentioned above
ETA on the the ursa cine 12k review?
Wow the FX6 has a polarizing electronic ND? That really sucks. I guess it's no longer on my purchase list.
FX9 II should precede FX6 II. Let's see what Sony brings to that camera first.
What is that camera at 6:13?
Let's not kid ourselves Sony will give us minimal improvements, unfortunately. If it sells so well then we can't count on it happening soon too. I think in a year at the earliest.
Global shutter!
Going to buy a Blackmagic Video Assist straight away. Oh how I have longed for the day to get away from Atomos and PRR. The Ninja series really is the worst overpriced crap.
I would love to see LESS PLASTIC in the top handle and a beefier body in general.
Typical sony camera: good specs, but horrible to use. The internal display is ok for the menus, but to small to use it as an monitor. the display loupe from sony is a joke.
We shot a feature with fx9 and fx6. We loved the low light capabilities, but the ergonomics always were getting in the way.
and yes, our fx9 suffered from the red circle error 🫠
I‘d say the picture is ok, but not great and needs a lot of work.
Still preferring the footage out of my Komodo.
Better skin tones 🙏
The Fx3 is the SAME sensor as the Fx6??
Yes, always has been. Also the same as the a7sIII and the ZV-E1.
