This was the hardest camera review I have ever made. Some cameras are really simple to do but this one wasn't both in the camera itself and the wider picture.

The classiest, most dramatic and very British camera reviews out there.
And I'm not complaining.
philip your video quality SUCKS!
I honestly can’t wrap my head around how you create something so good. The footage, the structure, the editing- it’s all so masterful. I just can’t even. I have lost the ability to even.
Thanks Tom 🙂
syntax, pure and simple (+ the expression of one's soul).
From extreme cinematic B-Roll to Moonlight Sonata. Perfect.
Did you take any notes? Has to be the best FX6 review so far. Yours is better than most and Matti H was probably the worst.
@@FelixCervantes Damn, I thought Matti's was fine, but different strokes I guess.
gerald is a lovely gay
@@FelixCervantes That guy is clueless. I don't watch his vids anymore. It's a case of popularity over knowledge. No substance
Every 22 year who got their parents to buy them a camera thinks it's in excellent taste.
People like Matti doing "reviews" but essentially just hyping the camera without any usable information to make a purchase decision. And then we have this ACTUAL review. Tons of information and helped me decide if this is the camera for me. Personally, the A7Siii fits better for my needs. Thanks Philip for the extremely helpful video!
I have a s7iii but may be this one as well... really like the quality in low light, don't need tracked autofocus... so...
Gerald randomly showing up in a video is just the bee's knees.
This review was really great. I was really looking forward to hearing about this camera, as it's on my shortlist.
Well done, Phillip. Always helpful to watch these reviews.
Loll, no replies on your comment here, that's how I know this is a distinctly different realm of youtube than the sneaker world! Hope you're doing well Jaques 🙏🏽
Yeahhhhh buddy, my fav sneaker youtuber on my fav film maker UA-camr 😃😃
Hi there, hope you will answer, that is very important for me to make a decision - to buy or no to buy: do you think, it will work properly if I´ll attach the Rode VXLR 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter and then via that adapter switch lav mic system - Rode Wireless Go? Thanks in advance
Hahaha that B-Roll was something special! Always appreciate your reviews.
I felt it was time I embarked the one wheel thing you guys love so much! 😂
@@philipbloom Philip I am a canon fanboy but I must admit I think fx6 has just sunk the eos cinema line ...800grams xavc I 4k
Well, I guess FX6 is my A cam & A7siii is my B cam...
Not that I have the money for that scenario.
I never miss the reviews...even if I am not interested in the camera....this was a piece of art as usual...you are a true artist not a camera reviewer Philip !....the track that you used here in the beginning ( the one that you used also for the a7s iii) is such a great match with that b roll.....I don't know it's just this vibe that gets me as a viewer to keep watching even I already don't want to upgrade now !!
The picture of your screen as you are recording it side by side to your final edit is brilliant. I love your reviews, thank you for being awesome and the most OG pro cinema gear reviewer in the industry!
Agreed Manny Agreed!
This video made me a better man
Great work as usual, the best story teller I have seen so far, doesn't overuse B-roll and other new-gen tricks but still makes you watch it till the end, and only disappointment I have is that it ended, which means I need to wait another video! I am amazed by your skills!
As usual, masterful work, Mr B. Appreciate the time it takes to create these reviews especially during adversity! Well done mate.
Always a pleasure queuing up ANY of your videos. From the cine quality to the amazing review details. Your wit and story telling is "the best". Thanks.
Thanks Nic
Thank you for your great camera reviews! I have been watching them for years and years, and really enjoy them, thanks!
That EVF mock up would be such a good product! Some expertly put points here, very well done indeed.
Carl
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?
I've been looking forward to this. Glad the post issues were worked out. Watching it in full right now.
Finally got around to watching this, and it didn't disappoint. There's a certain cadence and flow to your videos that you really don't get elsewhere. Respect for putting in the time and effort it takes to create these long reviews!
Thank you Jack!
Thanks for this Philip, I've found I watch the standard release day reviews / hand-on videos and then enjoy watching your thoughts far more than those day 1 videos. Lovely tone throughout, as ever.
Thanks!
The best thing about new camera releases is that we get new films by Philip Bloom.
Fantastic review Phillip. Beautifully done and super informative. It plays like a story, not a review. You are the best.
I’ve never been so down for a 42 minute review! I’ve just found you this afternoon in between filming horse races here in Australia - and this is a fantastic thing to watch! Thanks!
This is the video I've been waiting for (after Gerald does his technical rundown)!
Philip, really enjoying your documentary style reviews. Keep up the great work! I feel that I'll be adding the FX6 to my kit down the road. Great little cinematic beast! -Tony
Thanks Tony. Hope you are well.
Thanks Philip. Always a pleasure to watch.
Philip - As a professional cinematographer i’m stunned of how amazing this video is. I own two FX6 and love them. Been thinking about buying Neat for a long time.. well, you convinced me. Have a great day- keep making amazing videos like this.
Oh.. I also fell asleep at some point of the video, but that’s because of how calm and nice your voice and the beautiful footage is. A beauty for the eye and brain.
Mine arrives this week. Super excited! Thanks for The review.
Brilliant as always. I always appreciate the nuance of your reviews. Bravo!
Thanks so much Curtis
Philip Bloom: The only man brave enough to feature an Ent in his camera review video
whenever I see a cinema based camera release I'm always looking forward to whether Philip will ost a video about it...
and man I always come out entertained after each 30+mins video he puts out.
Your humor and sarcasm made my day. Best review of the FX6 is from the two British dudes!
I’ll keep filming on my A7$ iii 🙌🏻
Saved the best shot till the end. Brilliant. Thank you for doing this. Nice touch with Gerald.
I have a deep passion for camera tech and your videos are in their own league of information and entertainment. I can't justify an expense like this for my current needs (I use a Nikon z6 to juggle between photos and video work/self-amusement) but I'll be damned if I don't enjoy one of your intricately detailed reviews (with filming techniques sprinkled here and there). All I can say is Thanks Philip for always inspiring
Superb work Philip. Beautifully edited, great music.
Phil 12 years and you still haven't lost your edge! Bloody awesome review, yes I am still confused which is why I have my Venice...
You have a Venice? nice! You need a light B camera for that! :)
Every time I hear, “this is not a low light camera,” I know it’s the digital bolex review.
philip your video quality SUCKS!
that extreme cinematic b-roll was absolutely WILD, thank you for that.
Have you calmed down from that yet?
@@philipbloom I had to sleep an extra 6 hours to feel normal again
@@ZachMayfield get on your one wheel, that will clear you head’
thank you for taking time to spot the light on these issues.
As Always, great work-simply the best! I would love to see the timeline of this Film in your editor. Bet it’s crazy in places but beautiful all through.
While I always watch the many UA-cam 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.
Powerful opening. Lots to digest. Fun b-roll gags were appreciated.
What an extremely pleasant review to watch, all 42 minutes of it. I think it was the best review I ever saw really. Also, this was my introduction to your channel. Thank you.
Thanks very much Robert-John!
Entertained indeed! Love that brit sense of humor. Thank you for all the time you spent doing that. Cheers
You also just saved me so much hassle in the wedding video I am doing! I use Neatvideo and have a pretty powerful 2020 iMac, and would have so many crashing episodes within Premiere! Thank you so so so much! This is why I love your videos, practicality throughout the ENTIRE workflow! I never knew that having it as the first effect is what helps Premiere!
I'll probably never buy Sony fx line cameras but Philip's review are so good to watch. So much work put into them. Superb content.
Thank you! I was so looking forward to your review of this camera! Beautifully done. And I’m actually less confused now :)
LOVE the implementation of the music!
Just bought an FX6. Your review is so on point to my experiences with it so far. Great job. Cheers from Germany - Hope to see you again soon!
You have such a unique way about you -- came for the FX6 review, stayed for your personality (and of course the review lol)
Another classic review, thank you. Amazing story telling.
This was exceptional. I cannot think of a “review” I have every enjoyed watching as much as I enjoyed watching this. Enjoyed being the key phrase here. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Is Phillip Bloom the David Attenborough of Video cameras?
Yes definitely
Serious review with some doubts, some slices of fine british humor, combined with nailing facts and precise details and: time for second thoughts and not released on the release day!. I love it , thanx so much!
I've been eager to see this feature length film!
Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate your passion for cameras.
I'm going to call it right now, Phillip Bloom's reviews are the most enjoyable reviews to watch at least for me. There are many great reviewers out there but (unless firmware updates change the reviewed item) Phillip's reviews become a real life user's guide.
Thank you Phillip.
Love these long reviews. I discovered you with your review of Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.
that shoulder rig I have used for a decade now, thanks phil!
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.
Thanks so much An
Love every part of your reviews...thanks again for a stellar job..:)
Thanks Philip, really enjoyed the review.
Loved it!! Cinematic b-roll was out of this world 😂
I can't stop watching, just because of the music (and the rest is also great) ♥️♥️
God damn your content is SO DAMN GOOD! I am in awe of how good your are at your craft
Great review as always and even managed to capture Ethan from the sidemen on the bridge at the end!
always love your work! I waited for this movie.
That was the BEST review i have ever watched! Really enjoyed it, thanks
Ouch, just started watching and have to think that opening montage sequence must have taken a few pounds off! Looking forward to sitting back now and enjoying the review. Cheers Philip.
Excellent review. I have the FS5M2 and have been lusting after the FX6 for ever.
Great review - Your reviews are worth the watch even if you have no interest in the camera being reviewed. Well done as usual.
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.
I was about to hit the "Buy" button until I saw the auto focus. Are they going to update this to be like the A7S3?
Another stunning review. Thks for the hard work Philip it makes purchase decisions easier (sometimes^^) for us. And (or) it’s (just) a lot of fun to watch.
I absoluetly love what your doing here!!!!
Struggling with where I need to head towards when upgrading. I have an a7II which I have been able to work with for the most part because of 1080p being pretty usable in most situations. I will also be able to use the Laowa E mount lenses I have for my A7II. I do commercial work and short film work at the moment What do you think? When do I need an upgrade? I find my image to have low control on my a7ii when it comes to video. I’d love to see how the prores looks and grading looks.
41:52 skater flicks his ciggi and hocks a loogie just before the cut. Just lovely...
I did laught way to hard at the Crop 🌽 joke ahahahahah Great review Phil!!!
Woohoo! The only review of this camera worth watching!
Fantastic review Philip, I was almost tempted by this but honestly the audio situation is deal breaker for any hopes of using this as a gimbal camera with a radio mic etc, hopefully a usb c - 3.5mm firmware adaptor update can happen.
Superb as always!
The 240fps shots on the bridge are epic! 16:41
the most lyrical and visually stunning 'test footage' greatest cam tester on the planet
Another well done review sir, you are always my first stop when I'm considering a camera to shoot.
Thank you
Subscribing 👍🏾 beautiful shots throughout. Love your work.
I don't do video, so this is a bit like a foreign language film...but very pleasing to watch. Bloom productions always are.
Once again, perfect review, Philip! I already have a great A-cam, so for my needs: a good b-roll camera that's lightweight with amazing autofocus, ibis, easy to throw on a gimbal... I think I'll stick with my A7S iii pre-order. Nothing against the FX6, just not what I need. Thanks for answering all my questions.
Would the rule of keeping Neat Video first in the chain apply to Nodes within Davinci Resolve as well? First Node eg?
Does it have a Full Auto mode for when I am in the "F8 and Be There" Panic?
I still come back and rewatch this all the time just to relax me. Thanks for the vid. Hopefully we get the touch focus update soon like the fx9.
I’ve heard…whispers… 🙃
I preordered mine this morning. but why oh why did they not include an XLR input on the body and not include the new updated user interface / menus from the a7S iii??? 😩😩😩
The interface is from the FX9 and that’s the line it’s in so it makes sense from that perspective.
Great review 🤌 Thank You Philip 🙏
absolutly enjoyed every single second...most cinematic review i ever saw!
Thanks Carsten!
This was awesome video @philip Bloom have they since then added the touch focus?
Epic review as always!!
Philip Bloom review is my afternoon Sunday chill. Greetings from the sunny Philippines.
beautiful imagery as always. considering upgrading from my FS5 to the Fx6. the low light detail is really something on the Fx6 and yes Neat Video is the best! thanks for the tip on rendering speeds , will definitely keep that in mind. do ppl ever question you when you're filmming in public alone with these cine cameras? you probably look less like a youtuber and a proper camera op for a netflix series. ps, you'll have to update your channel banner now
I absolutely love your music choices. It gives a whole new dimension to your work. Brilliant! And BTW, thank you for all your work!
I pre ordered the 🎥 yesterday 😉 great review Philip 👏 what do you think is the best gimbal for the fx 6? I didn’t watched the video finally, maybe you tell it in your video? I will finish watching this great video in the evening 💪🏼 best cinematic greetings from a small 🥴 german filmmaker
Love how the FX6 was announced the same day my xlr-k3m finally shipped after 2 months of being on back order. I’ll wait to see if they update the touch tracking and white balance function before I order 🤷🏼♂️
You’ll probably end up waiting a very long time haha
