Sony FX6 is cheaper than the FX3 | 12 reasons why

If you factor in the value of the Sony FX6, it is much cheaper than the Sony FX3 because of all the extras you get when paying more.

12 reason why (massive value for the extra money). This answers the question of "Why the Sony Fx6 in 2024".

Why am I watching this, I have no money

The cache recording is something I never knew! You are literally the only person I’ve heard talk about this and I’ve seen like 20 videos on it now at least. Absolutely insane that no one is talking about this

Great video! Reasons why I still keep my FX3:
- I use a Gimbal a lot and it handles the FX3 way better
- The FX3 can be squeezed in anywhere (behind my computer monitor for example)
- I'm traveling a lot by train to shoots, so the smaller size matters a lot for me

Love the FX6 a lot tho, used it for a documentary and the ND-Filter was insanely handy and working with it together with a view finder made it super comfortable to use.

This video should be RETITLED to : “ At the end of the day … “ 😎🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Man after wanting one more review to pull the trigger on the FX3, I get recommended this! As a sports videographer, your reasoning made me reconsider!

[danbrockettDOP]

I agreed with all of your takes on the two. Great video.

I own the FX6 and rent the FX3 often. After shooting with both a ton over the past few years, as well as a ton of FX9, I think any FX6 or FX9 owner should own an FX3 also. As a B or C camera, it's great and as a gimbal camera it can''t be beat. I have just about paid off my FX6 with day rates over the past three months and am saving to get an FX3. They are the perfect pair, best of both worlds.

Just remember, cheaper does not mean cheap

I didn't realise the FX6 had cache/pre recording! Thats great it does, something I miss on the FX3.

[RealWorldReview]

Cache recording is worth every penny. The R5 II just got this, and after MANY years of having this with PlayStations, I’m blown away by why almost no cameras have this feature???? Even the Nintendo Switch is always recording the last 30 seconds, why don’t all cameras have this option????

[BryceKoebel]

Damn the Cache recording would have saved me SO MUCH time haha

[DavidMonostori]

I think your totally fair. I own both an FX6 and an FX3 and you just have to pick up the right tool for the job.

[AustinWestbro]

As soon someone who wants to get into shooting Hockey I think you might have convinced me. Time to sell a kidney

[drmanhat]

kinda love/ hate the facts that you successfully convinced me that 6k is cheaper than 3k.

I wish brands could find a way to add internal ND filters in a compact body such as the FX3, that would be my dream.

[JumpertheToastyApple]

I like how this guy responds to every comment.

[GoodRebelEdits]

Great stuff my man. The title is misleading, but the content is exactly what I needed 😂

For me personally, the biggest downside of fx6 is lack of IBIS, which especially when using cine lenses, that don´t have stabilization makes it much harder to do nice handheld shots, but from practical side of thing, i like FX6 because of capability of higher data rate thus higher video quality.

[nightdonutstudio]

I think the noise reduction setting is a big plus over fx3.

[VlogCity]

Super good comparison. Honestly to kit out a FX3 to compete with a FX6, it's gonna be about the same cost. Maybe one day I'll upgrade, but the one thing that's nice about the FX3 that I'm loving is how small/big it can be. I can travel with minimal space, or kit it out to film an all day event.

[Realist-mc]

I own both the FX3 and FX6, I use the FX3 on a gimbal and the FX6 for tripod interviews and hand held (with stabilised lenses) work. They are really quite different cameras. The only downside of the FX6 is the lack of 10bit long GOP 4K.
