Brother, THANK YOU, for this. You didn't just turn your camera on and started babbling. You broke it down to where, even a 6th grader can comprehend everything about this camera and make a decision, if this camera is for them or not. I respect creators like you. You do not talk out of emotion. You present logic break down anyone can follow. Take it from me, a cinematographer with over 20 years experience in cinematography and over 8 feature films under my belt, this is the best Pyxis breakdown I've seen since this camera was announced. I look forward to seeing what content you'll create with it. Respect!

People will complain about what they want from a camera but never make anything with the cameras they have… 🙄

[beamsandwaves]

The S5 II (x) can accommodate 12-bit BRAW (with the BM 12G Assist) I would say that this is a very strong argument in itself and in conjunction with all the other functions it has ...

[torsrive]

Absolutely stunning video again. Team2Films finally someone who understand cameras and talk about it. Because youtube is full of creators they do not understand cameras but they talk about them so much

[tomcypher]

Actually, 12 bit gives 64 times more precise color info than 10 bit, because it is per channel, so we are speaking of 36 bits vs 30 bits per pixel. And it's 4096 times more info than 8 bit, which is amazing imo

[isaacbedford]

I think the Zcam F6 (mk ii) is a good competitor. It has better/more flexible anamorphic modes, but no good internal RAW solution. It's also able to shoot in high frames rates (and lower resolutions) w/o windowing into the sensor (as often).

[barrywallisable]

Always the best videos, thank you!

Any chance you will be reviewing the URSA Cine 12k?

[KaurH]

Yet another amazing video for an amazing camera. Thanks Leon & Natalie!

[Ryan_Wiseman]

A little bit info on the FX6 for some correction, it is 10-bit internal, but 16-bit RAW output. Almost all cinema Sony cameras have this, just the only monitor to capture it is the Atomos NEON (and that is compressed linear-RAW, not the same level of RAW you can get from BURANO or F55)
It's wild tho that we don't even have a global shutter with the BURANO. Idk why Sony decided to abandon the global shutter technology that made the F55 as legendary as it did, but that's incredible to learn!

[verebellus]

0:40 you say the CInema Camera 6k but show the Pocket 6k pro, which is not the same camera.

[MtZionMediaPro]

The Pyxis is a great Cine cam and super versatile! Would love to see the low light capabilities!

[barttermorshuizen]

Great vid! What are you using as pl adapter for the Arles lenses?

[alzibaba]

A truly excellent overview, great work! It looks a big improvement in so many ways. Well priced too.

It's funny to see so many of the plus points being features of the now near 4-year old Z Cam E2F6. I've used one for 3 years, a fab work horse, and a great tool for what I need. It was good enough for Wong Kar-Wai on a recent production = more than good enough for me 😉

I think the Pyxis should work well with the F6 + a Video Assist, and I may get one. A shame BM didn't use a swappable mount though, a big plus of Kinefinity and Z Cam.

Love that it has SDI, not too sure about the batteries though. Yet more e-waste to invest in. There must be a reason not to go with NPF...?

Really looking forward to seeing your footage!

[buddyfx]

Crazy how some people still complained about this camera, just don't buy it :)

[zerocore_]

The value for money of this new body is in-sane.

[verebellus]

You mention pixel binning as a negative with high speed, which is not a negative, it means that it still reads out the whole sensor, but it downsamples it to a lower resolution with a greater sharpness than a 1:1 readout. the real negative (which is often used) is line skipping, which skips every other line of pixels to read out faster, and kinda "fills in the blank" which causes a pretty bad blurring effect, which is then not sharp. You also mention that FX9, FX6 and FX3 dont have "true full frame sensors" as well as the burano. which is not true, all of these (as far as i can find) do use true full frame sensors, 35mm. They just dont have open gate video read out, they use a 17:9 and 16:9 crop readout of the sensor, but they are still indeed truly full frame. The FX3 can even take 3:2 photos.

Love the break down! Great video as always!

Thanks for the fascinating review. Before Blackmagic took over Fairlight, they made audio workstations like the Xynergi used in post-production.
Fairlight made an "add-on" called "PYXIS", a collection of PCIe cards with the host being an HP Z400/800s PC workstation. These were used to store/lock up the Video with the audio workstations, and they used Decklink cards. Seeing this fantastic camera, the wheel has turned full circle.
"A pyxis is a cylindrical box with a separate lid and no handles. It was used in ancient times to store cosmetics, jewellery, and other small items. Physicians also used pyxides to store medicine, and they were used to dispense incense."

[Deep-Travel]

As always, the best videos in YouTube. Informative, elegant, right information… all substance no fluff.
Looking forward to the next video.

I would love to have one of this cameras. Exactly what I need. You gave everyone of the reasons why is perfect for my needs.

Thanks.
