I got my FX6 a few months ago and love it, especially for solo creators who do lots of run and gun stuff or sit down interview stuff it's probably the best camera out there right now because you have everything on board, ND filter, audio and great footage. unfortunately mine had to go back for repair already because the ND filter got stuck down... other than that I love the camera. A7sIII and A1 are still what I grab to make UA-cam videos with though...
Everything except IBIS
@@Nemastic but a lens with OSS and if really smooth footage is needed then catalyst browse. I needed a camera without ibis for a very specific reason as my other cameras all have ibis
I've had it for a year and a half and I can't imagine using anything else. I recently got the FX30 as a B cam because the price is so low it makes more sense to buy one than keep renting for situations when I need a second cam.
Great combo, best of both worlds. Perfect match.
The FX6 is the only reason I am considering switching to Sony. Its an industry standard for a good reason!
Industry standard I wouldn't go that far but okay
Thoughts on the C70?
Actually the industry standard would be the FS7 mark2 or by now the FX9 … fs5 and fx6 are the cheapest little siblings
Congrats on the new camera Peter! That is a beast! I have the FX3. Its my baby and goes everywhere with me. I do love some of the actual cinema line features on this. I wish the FX3 had some of them.
Awesome camera! Variable ND, Flagging, Pre-record, etc. It's just perfect!
Awesome Peter, looking forward to watching what you create with this beast.
On the daily basis I’m working with FX9, but let me tell you, if only media houses would be willing to switch for the 6’es I’d be one of the happiest people there are working in tv industry. This body is such a versitile tool, easily “riggable” to gimbals and such, that there’s no competition in that price/performance range in my opinion. That said, please, don’t stop making awesome content ❤😎
Very interesting. I learned so much from you. And your VCPX course looks fantastic!
I’m happy to enjoy this vicariously through you. I have zero need for an FX6, but really love it!
It is SO fun haha! You'll grow in to it ;)
I need it even less than you, but it makes me salivate 😂
Congrats Peter! That is one awesome camera. I understand why it's time for an upgrade. I have the FX3 and I love it. Keep going!
My thoughts about the fx6:
The Fx6 has some ergonomic changes that make me shoot differently from my fx3. In some ways, that's a limitation, but those limitations actually force me to shoot different, and I love that about the fx6.
The side handle is absolutely the best-feeling grip I've used.
Operation is much more seamless with all buttons on the camera itself.
Variable NDs degrade the image with color casts and polarization. So you're getting a better image.
Plus audio options for the top handle is sweet... Set 3 and 4 to auto and you've got backup tracks for both inputs.
Looks cool,didn't know has all those features! Good luck with this new chapter, I'm sure you'll gonna nail it!🙌🏻
So cool to see you grow your arsenal :D Can't wait to see what you do with it !
Pre-ordered my FX6 when it was announced, never looked back, an absolute joy.
The script and edit of this video was very good Peter... I like your progress. Big hug from London amigo
Good points and great stuff like always! Sick setup!
Congrats Peter 👍🏻 I have the Fx6 now for nearly 2 years and now I understand it 😂 I love my Fx6 😍 best cinematic greetings from germany
I love your channel, Peter! Funny, I just got my A7S iii back from repair and was testing it out while watching this. Glad you still like the A7S iii, I have barely used it as it had to be on repair because of dead pixels in the camera. Would love to get something like the FX6 in the future. Only the ND is worth it. Great video about it, good luck shooting amazing videos with it :-)
I was, in fact, watching this video just to have a good time, and congrats, you just got a new sub!
I’ve own mine since June 2021. It’s by far my favorite camera I’ve ever used. I use it for commercial’s, music videos, weddings, etc. I’m picking up an FX3 as my B-Cam, which I think will be a good extension of my current set up.
I do plan on buying a second FX6 at some point too
I am saving all my money for a Venice 2 right now as my go to. I wanted an arri but ive been convinced enough that a venice 2 is alright with me
I am actually selling my fx3 if you’re looking.. it’s just not getting use
@@TimConnor13 I have FX3 , FX6 and a Red Komodo :)
The FX6 is definitely one of, if not the best camera I've ever used. It made shooting on the go such a breeze and I never once had to worry about it's performance or capability. That variable ND filter made going from inside to outside and vice versa so simple during shoots and not having to worry about if I got the shot correctly exposed. Love it!
The timing of this...literally considering one myself. Congrats!
Congrats man. It’s a beautiful system. You should be rocking in no time since you’re so familiar with creative great images with a7s3.
I vlog my freelance DP experiences with the fx6. There may be a tip or two that could help.
I agree with leaning everything about your existing gear first. I've been a mobile videographer for a long time. I think my first camera upgrade is due soon 🙂
Always steppin’ up!!! Love it ~Smile oN
Got mine recently as well. Love it. That eND is gamechanger.
Using the FS5 since it came out made this an easy transition. FS7 was too big and FS9 too expensive so the 6 is the perfect size and quality we needed for an upgrade. It took a year to order but it is next level for anyone who loves manual everything. Updating software from Imac has been very difficult, only negative 💕
I pre-ordered the a7s3 so been using for over 2-years as well, I love it, it's amazing, but I def see the need for ND filter and would love the on board audio, I use the k3m. Great points, great video!
Keep diving into it brother! It's making us all better. HOWEVER, I'm gonna need to get in a workout with you over here in Daytona Beach, FL 💪🏽😂 Our stories, from bodybuilding to film are twins stories. Crazy.
It is a beast camera. Best luck for your future projects 👍🏻..
The best camera Ive ever used. Map the right dial wheel on the handle to the Variable ND filter, and that is so easy to work with.
can't wait to see FX6 II
Came across this review after looking to upgrade my 20 year old Sony Handycam. It's hard to buy tape cassettes for them anymore but I loved the experience of handheld shooting.
Congratulations man🎉
Hey buddy you got a great camera. I have an fx3 and FS7 II and now in this 2023 I'm gonna to buy my own Fx6. I love my FS7 because when I tried the FX6 has similar things like FS7, If anyone has known the FS7 it is the predecessor of the FX9 and it is a powerhorse camera, just the FS7 is super 35mm crop sensor and FX6 full frame but guys both cameras has the same quaility, easy way to adjust everything with the buttons and the best part the Internal ND filters is another level in those cinemas cameras. The Fx3 is a super camera too but the without internal ND filter make me think to not use like a main camera with external ND Filter, I use it for 4K 120fps footages situations and the FS7 for the 4k 24 or 30fps and some situation 240fps 1080p. Well Peter, don't ever regret it, your FX6 is one of the best cameras in the world and you are blessed with it. Have a good one. Great Video. Cheers
I love my fx6 so much that I sold my a7siii to pick up a second fx6! Now I have one to operate with my easyrig and one for my rs3 pro. Matching A and B cameras is the only way to go.
I went from the C70 to the Fx6, they're both great camera's but the auto NDs, autofocus and lowlight out of the FX6 are complete game-changers when shooting especially run and gun shoots.
Have them both, use them both. FX6 for live, events, tv etc....C70 for docos and commercials...Both excelent cameras
You should consider getting a glidecam for that fx6. Gives a real natural floating look, and you will need something since it doesn't have IBIS.
Glad your continuing to investing in yourself.
I got the fx6 about 2 years ago. So happy I did!
I almost bought an FX6 to A-Cam and bump my a7SIII to the B-Cam but ultimately landed on the Alpha 1 to B-Cam video and expand my business offerings with photo as an A-Cam. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
The A1 is my go to hybrid. SICK camera!
i had mine when it just released, it worths every penny
Use what you got! that’s some good advice!
I actually want the FX6 so it was nice seeing this video
Hands down the most versatile camera for the price. Welcome to the FX6 gang.
Had to add a Zacuto EVF and extra arm bracket, but love it. In fact, after a Sony G prime set... ended up buying the fx3. Check out Alistar Chapman's audio mod bracket. I didn't like the mic bouncing.
Insane camera. Best Sony on the market IMO.
I’m sure you’ll be making some epic footage with that
Built in ND filters are a godsend :) I need an FX6 !
You should've seen the grin😁 on my face when I saw that you got the FX6. I have a Ronin 4D and the C70, and I'm just about to sell the C70 and move back to Sony with an FX6, as I think it's the better camera for me. Can't wait to see more content.
Thanks! I’m gonna change over to Sony this year
Congratulations Bro ...
The seemless ND is thr biggest thing that makes this camera worth it. To me weather sealing comes first so I might stick to those tiny ones.
I wanted one of these so bad when they first came out and almost dropped a deposit down on one. Even though I only dabble with video. I do 97% photography. But they are so darn good I figured why not. So for right now, I turn my A7IV into a video rig and I am teaching myself. When I start making money off a video, maybe someday. The FX6 such a sweet camera.
Thanks I feel very welcome to your channel and have subscribed. Great vid, thanks
Thanks for the sub!
Great video Peter, you have that evolution! Venice coming next?
Nah, I’m good with this 🫡
It is an awesome looking camera. That I have no need for :)
To make us jealous.. just kidding. 😂 . Btw congratulations and really looking forward to watch content shot by this beast. 🙏
I work with the fx3 fx6 and fx9, nine out of ten times I am picking up the fx6 to do my content. It's my go-to!
I am second hand fx6 purchase
I india
So jealous!!!
My favorit sony FX6
It’s an amazing workhorse!
You should compare the whole Cinema Line 👌🏻😎
Please do a video on how you setup the camera and use it
All we need is for Sony to design an Auto Nd Adapter for the full frame mirrorless line. Would truly be a game changer in the camera industry
Dude is a friggin unit 💪
*Was… very important 😂
Interesting to see what this camera can
It’s gonna be fun 👀
Thank you for the video. Since you mentioned, any news on A7siii updates?
I would have bought a C70 or a Komodo instead but to each his own! Congrats on the new Cam man!!
Great Video! What’s the name of the wall you have equipment set up on?
I’m really hoping that my network gets some of these
They do feel very plastic though
I wish it was in a housing like the fx3
Amazing video Peter! I have the same camera and there is one more important difference between the FX6 and A7SIII: the rolling shutter effect amount. For fast movements, the image will look kind of skewed/distorted on the A7SIII while the FX6 does not have this problem. That's why you should use your FX6 for example for Nike like commercials 😁
The FX6 does not have a global shutter though.
@@PeterLindgren1 my life has been a lie 😱! I really believed that it was Global Shutter as I received this “false” information from somewhere! Thanks for correcting me, anyhow the rolling shutter is still almost none existent then 😅 I feel stupid 🙃
Such a pretty cinema camera, and for what it is, a very reasonable price 👌🏻
Completely agree. Would be a shame if someone put it on an FPV Drone 👀
@@PeterLindgren1 Now that would just be silly. So silly. Only a mad man would do that, especially if they attached a 360 camera on top of it for extra points. Sillyness.
the boss
Oh, and only thing this camera missing from the perfection is lack of opengate 3:2 shooting mode. Unfortunately it got ~17:9 sensor so it's not possible. Lame it's not possible with other Sony cameras that got 3:2 sensors. Cause in this mode 1.6x Anamorphic lenses make so much sense. It definetely makes sense on Panasonic cameras, especially S5IIX.
first time viewer just sub!!
If I could afford it I will buy it (got this camera on my wishlist). This electronic ND filter is amazing. But you are also right saying ... use what you got.
It's possible to shoot great video with ZV-E10 if you are on the budget.
not for pro work
@@takoflame4948 Depends what's the definiotion of pro work? Work that someone pays you for? Then a lot can be done with ZV-E10 for money = pro. Easily interviews, even main angle. It can be powered from the mains. I think with Atomos you can get redundancy of recordings.
I love buy old gear!
This is the camera that would make me jump ship!
So good!
Questions to ask before buying this camera:
Do you need to be able to take still photos?
Is using a gimbal important to you?
Do you have a need for xlr mics and multiple audio ports?
Food for thought!
You aren't really buying a cinema camera to take photos.
What is your point regarding gimbals?
The FX6 flies no probs on my RS2 and is equally usable handheld.
You should have gone for the Venice instead :) Kidding, great info Peter.
sweeeeeet...😎
A7s4 will have ND filter built in for sure :)
Peter, that eND is a killer feature. As a Canon ecosystem engaged man I still hope there will be EF/RF camera with similar build-in ND (that also have automatic mode), but probably Sony patented it... life is awesome, but with some salt sometimes :D
Great purchase. For me I would buy it in a second IF it had genlock and a different audio option. Other than that it's pretty close to perfect.
It has a genlock port.
What other audio option do you require?
@@GuyThomsonVideography It has a timecode port, not a genlock port. As to the other audio option I would love a connection that did not involve the top handle being on.
if the a7siv is anounced then I would like to see a 6k 30p or even 120(which I dont think Ill ever use) and maybe a fan. I dont know but I just want to see 6k and thats it.
First comment bro.. love from Kolkata,India.❤️
I know I don't need it....but I am enjoying drooling over it
Mate! Some of the reasons you gave for getting it didn't make sense to me. They felt like you were trying to justify an expensive purchase. I do this too 😀. It's ok though, I think you've earned the right to treat yourself.
informative 9mins do like the potential of the Fx6.
well i think absolutely nothing about it other that built in nd filters are a cool feature. I've owned my Canon R6 for 1.5 years that i love and I'm still going to need another 1.5 years just to master all the features it has and probably 5 more before I even think of replacing it. Im not a professional, my R6+R7 combo might as well stay with me for 10 years or until it breaks for good.
Dayum you were irl hulk back then 🥴💜
a camera made just for video is always better for video ,but the fx3 has gotten better reviews partly because its cheaper and you can take photos, so for people that can only afford 1 camera its been popular, not necessarily better than the fx6
Hello Peter, is it possible do put on a ronin gimbal? tanks for work and time. have a good one
Do you use (or need) an external viewfinder with your FX6?
Peter can we get a fitness advice video? Dam dude
Hi @peterlindgren. I am really struggling to decide between FX3 and FX6. As a professional I want a bigger camera, but there are so many pros to the FX3 regarding size and functions. I very often find my self in situations where I need to rig down my old A7III, and that`s what suits the job. And clients don`t hesitate about size. And surprisingly, even the files from the A7III are almost always good enough for the purpose (I don`t do TV-productions so far). But now, I need to step up to 10-bit, XLR and some more. Do you think it`s a good idea to go via the FX3 and wait for the FX6 mkII? I really want the XLRs to be on the body. This is SO hard. I don`t want to throw money around :) LOVE your channel by the way. From your little brother in Norway.
Depending upon your lens and ND situation, I'd almost go with the FX3 and invest in a few more lenses. Both the FX6 and 3 have handle-bound XLR, so you won't get XLR on the body anyway unless you go with the FX9. The internal ND is AMAZING and so helpful, but if you're well-equipped with ND then I'd say start with the FX3, put more money toward kitting it out, and upgrade when it's time.
Thanks for advice :) It seemes like you can`t go really wrong either way.@@MattJackson_UA-cam
@@KristianRoald you're most definitely in great shape either way!
FOR NARRATIVE AND DOCUMENTARY WORK, IN WHAT SHOULD I INVEST ?
KOMODO OR FX6 ?
BEST kit CINE LENSES + 1 or 2 variable lenses AT A BUDGET OF 15 K $?
MIX OF LIGHTING sources AT A BUDGET OF 7K $ ?
please can you list the items by name ?
Peter, did you try to put the FX6 on your gimbal?
Would love to see the eND in the next A7S4
or the fx3ii
In a controlled lightning studio. What do you recommend between FX3 and FX6? In terms of color grading
Fx3 🔥
I've been trying to buy this camera for the past 8 months lol
Every time I have the money for it, it's sold out so I end up buying other things. and when its in stock, im broke haha
Grattis!! Congrats on a very nice platform! I learned to film on the FS5 and that ND filter was so good for Run n Gun. Recommend getting the bigger 90 or 120 batteries, the will also help with the balance without stepping up to V-lock batteries. The Godfather of S-log, Alister Chapman will soon have a workshop at Scandinavian Photo in Stockholm, 16feb I think. I can really recommend his workshops and content, to get a really good foundation about the cinema line cameras! Is the autofocus on this as good as the FX3? Would love to see a test on that! Ha de gött änna!
