Anyone else thinking of selling their current camera to get this? Anyone want to buy an Fx9? lol

"It does not matter what camera you have...", always said by a guy with a really good camera.

[FelixCervantes]

Sorry Matti, but this is how you do a camera review. This review is 1, 000 times better than Matti's.

[BryanFrancisco]

It might be time to dive in and get a cinema camera! Thanks for this video Mark!

I have waited for over a year for this camera .I sold my almost New Fs5MkII about a year ago.I am not a professional.I could wait. I rationalized my Still camera setup and built a new computer . I favor small form factor Cine cameras over Mirror-less. I considered other options, the Canon C300 MkIII the C70 and a Kinefinity LF and also the Z Cam E2 FS6 all of which are great cameras but as I have already experienced the Sony Eco system I Pre-ordered the FX6 about 3 hours ago actually about an hour and a half after its launch. It looks to fulfill all my needs and expectations. You mentioned something about having a good story no matter what camera you have, wise words indeed, but of course having a great tool to work with helps . So start with the best you can afford and make the best of it. I think people moan too much about Sony's Menu system, yes its far from perfect but actually I find makes you think more about what you are doing or at least that was my experience with the Fs5. Now I have to agonize over which lenses to use but then that's definitely a first world problem I just whatsapp'ed a friend in Donetsk in Ukraine where there has been an ongoing conflict since 2014 so it makes my concerns about lens choice seem somewhat insignificant!

[MarkHoltze]

It doesn't disappoint that's for sure. Been waiting on the specs for this one for awhile. Thanks for your take on it Mark

[TylerWells]

🔥🔥 I’m all for Mark showing off his ballet skillz I’m six months after his zoom classes!

[woodypaul_]

I love it when you and Matti link back up. This footage is NUTS.

[lavernewhite]

I was waiting patiently for your input 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[AsianWithHat]

Mark, I appreciate your passion. The way you talk passionately about this camera is authentic and genuine.

[TheFilmmakersWorkshop]

Incredible footage. Always great to get your take on new cameras. Thanks Mark.

Peter Mckinnon and Danial Schiffer are gonna be bummed they got left out! Do you all live on the same street or something?

[FTGTapGod]

It'd be hard to pull me away from my Z Cam F6, but this looks like another great option!

[OfTwoLands]

Awesome all around cam indeed and pretty solid job from Sony. I loved shooting with the FS5 years ago, this looks really promising. Still love my bmpcc6k but so much choice this year !!

[FTGTapGod]

I'd love to see a comparison against the Z Cam F6! $3999, LF, 6k 60, 4k 120, up to 14bit 422, dual ISO and analog gain, interchangeable mounts, built in wireless monitoring and control, optional eND, also runs on Sony L-Series batteries, and is a cube. Probably this camera's biggest competitor.

Indeed, what a dancer... lucky were you to have Calley as your talent for this test !
She would make any camera look cinematographic, even a first gen. GoPro.
When shall you invited her again ?

[stepheninman]

Best cinematic sequence with this camera so far, THIS video actually makes me want one

[scottgmaclean]

HI Mark - thanks for this review. I am a little confused by the autofocus function... is it different to the A7Siii? Is it crippled in anyway?

[ivosiegler]

I would love to see a comparison between the RED Komodo and the FX6!

[GraphicMill]

Wow, I was hoping Sony would deliver exactly this camera, and they did. I have the sIII and together with this FX6, man, anything and everything is possible!
Thanks for the review Mark, spectacular!
And Calley, OMG, that was absolutely beautiful. The contrast between her gracefulness and that industrial location! It was gold! The slow motion, the fog... just stellar!!
