Big thing most people don’t know about the FX9 and I’m my opinion the biggest plus when comparing it to the others, 4K in s35 mode. The FX6 and 3 don’t because it’s only a 4K Sensor. I can’t tell you how many times while on a shoot as an FX9 owner I switch back and 4th between FF and S35 modes. Almost every shoot. Also, lens capabilities. I shoot DZO lenses and I can use the zooms and still have 4K image. So many cine-zoom lenses are built for a S35 sensor, and the inability to shoot 4K with them on the FX6 or 3 is enough to not use them.
Wow what a great in detail comparison of all these cameras. I would love to get an FX6 but I can’t find one anywhere for sale. It would be my first cinema camera for myself and it would be plenty of a camera for my needs. Right now I’ve been messing around with the A7 and I would love the FX6 with its variable nd filter. Love the channel keep up the great work
Japanese aren't well-known for their software prowess, I would argue. They more hardware magicians, but they kinda pretty slow with their softwares. But I should as well agree that they usually avoid releasing broken, half-baked updates as well.
@@coastmale I love Panasonic, my very first camera was Lumix FZ35 compact zoom cam back in 2009. It still holds well even today, much better than any phone at least. 😜 Was about to get S5 but then the lens selection wan't good enough. With L Alliance I can see them enjoying a much better lens selection now, but nothing close to what you get with Sony E and their bodies.
@@ricr.4669 It actually makes sense even if it sounds like cannibalizing your own lineup. FX6 still superior, and has internal VND that is just too good to compare to any other solution. Also the same person with FX6 would rather FX3 as a B-cam.
Sony’s Cinema Line cameras (FX3, FX6, FX9) are absolutely brilliant cameras for professional work. Cine EI, timecode, user LUTs, active cooling system, XLR audio inputs, the list goes on. And they’re all Netflix approved meaning they meet the highest image capture benchmarks for dynamic range, color accuracy, signal to noise ratio, and reliability in key workflow requirements.
Amazing comparison! Thank you! As an FS-5 owner I love the FS-5 / FX6 size, buttons and internal ND. However I use PMW-F5 primarily. 👏 Great comparison CVP!
As someone who uses an FX6/9 Daily, can't wait for the FX3 to arrive, honestly it's a pain to us an FX6 for run and gun situations, setting it up on a gimbal is a headache and a waste of a good part of an hour, the ND System it has is world class though and in more controlled shoots it's a beast honestly better than the FX9 even image wise up to 4k :) The FX9 is an ENG class camera, the FX6 is more in-between Documentary, Short Films, Low Budget Tv series', run and gun video, while the FX3 is mainly a run and gun video with the option to build it up similar to the FX6 or strip it down and be light, easy to swap between tripod,gimbal, or handheld, unless you can keep an FX3 on a Gimbal, an FX6 for handheld and an FX9 on tripod haha
I didn’t even care about the outcome of the video as I have an a7s3 (bought it right away when FX3 wasn’t even announced) and it perfectly fits my needs. I don’t have the budget or reason for upgrading currently. However as a camera geek, it was an interesting video anyways.
I have an fx3 and have been thinking a lot of pairing it with another fx6, however the image quality varies so little I can’t justify to myself the higher price
I didn’t know the FX9 could do 4K S35 and the FX6 was limited to HD in S35 until I read the comments in this video. The FX9 opens up significant lens options. I don’t think I’ve seen a bigger and more expensive camera that didn’t offer more functionality. With the exception of doing gimbal and handheld work, I prefer larger cameras. Only RED it seems offers complete features in a smaller package. I’m mostly brand agnostic. I’m interested in the camera that gets the job done efficiently without creating production or post production headaches. Ultimately, with the exception of filmmakers and cinematographers, the audience doesn’t know and doesn’t care what camera was used to shoot a project. When you buy a donut do you wonder what brand of fryer they used? Me neither. Just give me the donut. 👍
Bought the a7siii before they started with updates for the fx3… love the image and know there’s no difference… but them making functionality for the fx3 faster and easier makes me question my purchase…
One of the best comparison videos i've seen, subtle and great technical detail. The fx6 wins out for me on affordability, specs and size/ form factor in terms of practicality.
Considering the 7k over sampling and focus breathing compensation, I pick the a7iv. No need for slow motion, as I don't remember any corporation asking for a slow motion clip
@@mitchmedmedia5386 I plan on going to B &H in the morning to buy my Sony Fx9---realistically I'll be happy if I have it by Christmas with this semiconductor chip shortage that's holding up production everywhere.
I have the A7SIII, fantastic sensor, but a bit clunky to use, just bought an FX3 v2 and damn! that thing is so much easier to use! Switching base ISO with just 1 button frees up the back wheel to be a dedicated white balance scroller
i've definitely had overheating issues with the FX3.. on more than one occasion i've had it shut down because it was overheated. Granted, it was outside in the sun, but other people running cameras in the same environment didn't have the same issue ...
I have the FX6 and love it. We've discovered, that it's quite a bit worse in Low Light (compared to the A7Siii), but since that wasn't my main buying factor, I'm fine with that. It's just a mad beast of a camera.
The FX6 is better than the A7sIII in low light because you can turn off internal noise reduction and do it in post. This results in a much sharper image. Philip Bloom pointed this out in his initial FX6 review.
@@DiminishingAugmentation we‘ve made some (unscientific) comparison shots, it’s not. I thought so too, but the A7Siii goes way higher while still clean.
I also own the fx6, and although the fx6 has worse lowlight than the a7siii out of camera. you can change around settings and fine tune it to perform better than the a7siii
Variable frame rates? I've just learned the idea is good for "cinematic" stunt shots. A7SIII has photo auto time-lapse, how about auto focus bracket. Also a 1/2 transparent image overlay would help with "then and now" kind of scenes. A button to change ISO for walking from light to dark. Better quality XLR adapter (no one wants to talk about in-camera sound)
Couple other things worth mentioning: 1. FX6 isn't supported by DJI RS2/3 and will probably never be at this point. No rec control, no iris, nothing. FX3 works just fine. 2. It is much easier and cheaper to get 4 channels of audio into FX3 because it has 3.5mm jack which FX6 does not for no apparent reason. So you can run 2 shotgun mics + a Rode WGII into FX3 but not into FX6. All this makes FX3 practically a must buy b-cam for an FX6 . And they work exceptionally well together. FX3 in a permanent gimbal setup and FX6 in handheld/tripod config is a killer combo that saves tons of time both on the set and in post.
@@walmartpimp2 LOL! To be serious though, I struggled for a long time to try to come up with a logical reasoning for this omission and just couldn't. It just makes no sense. Meanwhile the camera has 4 (foooouuuuur) remote ports and none of them work with RS2. And zero 3.5 jacks. I love my FX6 to death, but some of this small stuff just boggles my mind with its sheer stupidity.
@@shagral_ Let me ask you, is it possible to get HDR footage from S-LOG3? Every S-LOG 3 video I’ve seen is in plain old 4K. If S-LOG 3 is incapable of HDR then theoretically HLG3 is better.
@@walmartpimp2 to get HDR you have to master and deliver for HDR (that means Rec2020 color space and correct metadata for Dolby Vision or HDR10 spec). Of course SLOG3 is HDR-capable. It has up to 14 stops of DR. Look at this th-cam.com/video/Ge-6hiNnVyw/w-d-xo.html This is SLOG3 mastered for HDR. If you don't see HDR icon, your browser/display isn't supported HLG is a hybrid format that is supposed to work both for SDR and HDR viewing. But most times it turns out not ideal for both.
@@shagral_ Thanks, when I get my Alpha 7S III out of the pawnshop next month, I'm gonna have to try these steps. EDIT: Dude, I just watched the video on my Apple Pro Display XDR, and it is gorgeous. I can't believe no other S-LOG3 shooters upload in HDR.
Personally I would pick the Sony A7SIII And I would use the Sony A74 alongside as a Super 35mm cinematic camera I do wish Sony would release an ND Adapter like Canon has done for its R mount
The FX9 also allows 4K in S35 mode which the other 2 don’t. So if you’re using any professional zoom lens that isn’t FF, the fx6 and fx3 will only do 1080
the difference between the FX6 and an FX3/FX30 while the FX6 "looking" more professional at a shoot can be subjective. Ive rigged out my FX30 so much, it looks bigger than an FX6 and clients have seen me pull it out of my pelican box and go "wowwwww look at that camera!!!!".....when its the FX30 lol its just how I have it rigged out that makes it "look" like that. And yes. My lenses have a matte box "slighty" for aesthetic reasons for clients but there have been times where I actually did need my matte box to block light flares I didnt want, and use gradient ND filters for certain shots
Yo creo, personalmente, que la herramienta de CineEI no sería buen combo con el AWB, creo que es una herramienta que no está pensada para usarla en conjunto con el modo CineEI. Igual estamos a muy poco de tener Shutter Angle en la FX3 y la FX30(la tengo jaja). Muy contento y ansioso por eso, me queda faltando el Open Gate y pues el false color ya lo puedo usar con la app de Monitor&Control. Muy buen video amigo!!!
3 of them have the same dslr sensor image. Its not great but “okay”. It still has that sony video-ish rolloff the highlights and that magenta rolloff into the lesser exposed skin tones around corners of noses etc. Looks like th same as Sony always has. The blue/red curve is hard to match with other cameras without charts and grading. WB then shoot someone with a red hat and blue jeans and see what happens compared to any other cams.
Jake! I'm loving these comparison tests. I know y'all have a full plate but it would be so stellar to get a comparison of some FujiFilm offerings. The X-H2s has incredible specs and it'd be so great to see it compared to similarly priced cameras like the A7SIII. Thank y'all for doing what you do!
Hey Stephen, thanks for watching and for the kind words! X-H2S vs GH6 vs P6K Pro vs A7IV is in the works so make sure to keep an eye out for it ;) Have a great weekend, Jake
I really really hope Sony updates the sIII soon to feature some of the FX3 stuff or atleast the new software features from the a7IV. The sIII was THE video revolution from sony and seeing it getting abandoned is sad
I’m a comedian and am torn between the A7Siii and FX3. I primarily will stick it on a tripod and film myself in comedy clubs (low light) 4K 24 perhaps as long as 30-45 minutes. Is it possible that the A7Siii will overheat? The FX3 has an internal fan and that’s the only thing making me second guess myself.
Fx3..i shoot with my Sony a7iv right now.. The chances of getting on Netflix is pretty much zero anyway unless you have a lawyer or representative to get you in front of the executives... And If you are going to do a Netflix show they pretty much have their own production and cameras anyways.. at the beginning it was a little easier for Netflix but it's basically become another studio and a pipe dream for most.. I worked on a Netflix show and I talked to the producer.. he said pretty much there's almost zero chance unless you have to representative or lawyer.. Or it better be damn good with big names attached.. essentially going back to the old Hollywood way.. Amazon prime will take anything pretty much though.
Good tips. I havvent seen anyone in dozens of channels mention anything other than Netflix. Amazon prime is good to know for many. I guess there are Roku,Tubi,Apple films being made etc etc
So I am big on firmware updates and track camera development I saw all these updates Sony was issuing and was like, ok the fx3 had nothing yet. Something big is coming. I actually sold my c70 a month ago for it. And sure enough blame v2.0. I don’t think this is the FX3’s finale form tho tho
I can match any of these cameras footage with a Sony a6600 and cheap primes, Chinese f1.4 lenses on a cheap ronin. The audience would not make the difference.
I don't agree. Sony a7siii never overheated even filming for 40min+. It was cheaper in my country 3500 while fx3 4200 so the k3m was also cheaper to buy Big dislike
Thank you very much for the comparison of the four camera types. I would go for the FX6. One question: What are the dimensions of the image sensor of the FX6? I know it is a 35-mm-CMOS but what is the horizontal lenght and the vertical hight? Thank you.
Impressive review. But CFexpress type B has like more than double read/write speeds of the new, tiny CFexpress type A if you check the market, and probably cheaper overall. But CFexpress type A right now is using PCIe 3.0 which becoming ancient now and maybe going to 5.0 now or at least PCIe 4.0 would make it 2-4x faster so it might be the smarter form factor in the long run. If I have the budget I think an FX6 + Sony a1 would be the dream combo.
FX9 cards are XQD not CFexpress Type B. Yes they use the same connector and form factor, but the FX9 doesn’t support Type B and XQD has limited speed in comparison to Type B, so the point I was trying to make still stands. Thanks for watching Jake
I’ve owned an FX3 for a year and have shot a ton on it i.e. short films, music videos, and commercial work. My biggest and probably only gripe about it is that it doesn’t have internal ND. Not sure why everyone constantly complains about shutter angle, just learn the conversions from shutter speed and it’s essentially the same thing. Cheers!
for vlogging in TH-cam which camera would you recommend, Between Sony A7 IV or Sony FX30. Or do you have any personal favourite camera for Vlogging in TH-cam
I already have 2 Zeiss Batis lenses: 85mm & 25mm. As well as the Tilta FX Lightweight Kit for the FX 3. This is all I need for my online setup and to take the occasional pictures. I am getting the FX3, but will like more megapixel in an FX3 mark ii upgrade. Thanks for the video.
You seem to be missing the obvious. If you’re out in super bright sunlight, or shooting something crazy, you’re gonna need a cage and a monitor for the FX 3… While the a7S3, You just put that incredible EVF to your eye and you can see in the brightest sunlight or any other difficult situation. If you’re 20 years old and have 2020 vision, I guess the back of the FX3 would be doable… But the LCD monitor sucks. So, by the time you buy a cage and a decent monitor and a hood shade… What’s the price of the FX3 again?
Vielen Dank für Ihr Video. Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass die Sony A7SIII die Funktion "Real-time Tracking" Autofokus bietet, mit der Sie ein ausgewähltes Objekt während der Aufnahme kontinuierlich verfolgen können. Diese Funktion ist auch bei 4K-Videos mit bis zu 120 Bildern pro Sekunde (fps) verfügbar?
I had a A6000 but am looking to finally get my first real camera mostly for music videos but also some photography. Would I be good with a Sony A7iv and the zoom f2.8 g master lens (I wish it had image stabilization)? My plan is to do stabilization with the A7iv software and in post in DaVinci Resolve.
@@philippscheithauer Its at least on one level with the A7sIII. Maybe even better, i heard the lowlight performance is better in some sitations and it shoots 8k.
I hate my FX3 with a passion when I think of what it COULD be. If Sony knew how people actually use their shit, they could have fit the same BNC ports, got rid of the stupid IBIS in favour of internal ND’s, and DCI 4k, and FUCKING SHUTTER ANGLE.
Buy an fx6 .. :) .. its like saying why isnt my Toyota Corolla like a Bentley .. you can see how much room the vari ND takes up .. it would just be the same camera as the fx6 .. ?
@@robinprobyn1971 I don't know for sure, but I suspect the ND system isn't huge. It's basically an LCD in front of the sensors, not a rotating system of discrete filters like the FX9 or an Ursa or Arri.
Just incredibly lame it doesn't. A kid could program it in in minutes - they're simply withholding... I won't ask for unrealistic things like internal ND in my fx3 but shutter angle is so easy
I know there's no comparison, but a lot of features that seem to be available on the higher end FX series seems to be already enabled in Lumix S series cameras... How do they compare with these? 🙂 I do understand that every camera/lens has its own purpose, but I was just curious to know how they both compare...
I had a similar view. I shoot Lumix S1H.. but am surprised that the Lumix can shoot 4k at super 35mm .. and I think I like the Lumix. I wanted to upgrade that's why am here but I don't see a reason for upgrading..

Let us know which camera you’d choose down below!
All of them, in a perfect world. :')
I would choose FX6 > FX3> A7S3 > FX9
If I was interested in a Sony I'd go for the FX6. I don't like the forced in built noise reduction of the a7sIII and FX3.
FX6 is perhaps the most versatile in its price to quality ratio. So FX6 for majority of the work
I want to buy your stickers :)
Update: FX3 has now DCI 4K, Lens Breathing Compensation, Anamorphic mode, true 24 FPS, along others added features since V3.0 firmware.
Big thing most people don’t know about the FX9 and I’m my opinion the biggest plus when comparing it to the others, 4K in s35 mode. The FX6 and 3 don’t because it’s only a 4K Sensor.

No not better. The image is just sharper due to downscaling from 6k.

Thanks for watching Christopher! Jake
Jake! I'm loving these comparison tests. I know y'all have a full plate but it would be so stellar to get a comparison of some FujiFilm offerings. The X-H2s has incredible specs and it'd be so great to see it compared to similarly priced cameras like the A7SIII. Thank y'all for doing what you do!
Hey Stephen, thanks for watching and for the kind words! X-H2S vs GH6 vs P6K Pro vs A7IV is in the works so make sure to keep an eye out for it ;) Have a great weekend, Jake
@@CVPTV yessss, that video will be exactly what I need!
@@CVPTV Nice! Looking forward to it!
I’m running FX6 and A7S III as b-cam. Only if I waited a little longer for the FX3… So the A7SIII isn’t the same sensor as FX6?
Shutter angle coming to fx3 as well
I really really hope Sony updates the sIII soon to feature some of the FX3 stuff or atleast the new software features from the a7IV. The sIII was THE video revolution from sony and seeing it getting abandoned is sad
They abondon the entire S line. It is not official but you will see. The fx3 II will be the only video focused camera in the future.
@@GreatCassian not true lmao. its just the CINEMA line ..
I’m a comedian and am torn between the A7Siii and FX3. I primarily will stick it on a tripod and film myself in comedy clubs (low light) 4K 24 perhaps as long as 30-45 minutes. Is it possible that the A7Siii will overheat? The FX3 has an internal fan and that’s the only thing making me second guess myself.
Fx3..i shoot with my Sony a7iv right now.. The chances of getting on Netflix is pretty much zero anyway unless you have a lawyer or representative to get you in front of the executives... And If you are going to do a Netflix show they pretty much have their own production and cameras anyways.. at the beginning it was a little easier for Netflix but it's basically become another studio and a pipe dream for most.. I worked on a Netflix show and I talked to the producer.. he said pretty much there's almost zero chance unless you have to representative or lawyer.. Or it better be damn good with big names attached.. essentially going back to the old Hollywood way.. Amazon prime will take anything pretty much though.
Good tips. I havvent seen anyone in dozens of channels mention anything other than Netflix. Amazon prime is good to know for many. I guess there are Roku,Tubi,Apple films being made etc etc
SONY! Please update the FORMAT MEDIA process for FX6/FX9!!! We want it like the FS7 with automatic roll number when formatted.
So I am big on firmware updates and track camera development
I saw all these updates Sony was issuing and was like, ok the fx3 had nothing yet. Something big is coming.
I actually sold my c70 a month ago for it. And sure enough blame v2.0.
I don’t think this is the FX3’s finale form tho tho
Fx6 (if i could buy one) just for the ND. Bought the A7SIII over the FX3 for the evf.
I can match any of these cameras footage with a Sony a6600 and cheap primes, Chinese f1.4 lenses on a cheap ronin. The audience would not make the difference.
The FX3 needs a waveform!
I don't agree. Sony a7siii never overheated even filming for 40min+. It was cheaper in my country 3500 while fx3 4200 so the k3m was also cheaper to buy
Big dislike
FX3, FX6 and FX9 are Netflix approved cameras.
That’s all you need to know.
me watching this video with 20,69$ in my bank account
Awesome Comparison! Thanks!
Excellent comparison. Thanks.
Awesome Video mate, but I would strongly disagree that you can charge more with an FX-6.
FX3 Clear Scan, Shutter Angle (especially for 24p 172,6°), better File Name Handling
File name handling is a good shout! Jake
Would it be possible for them to update the fx6 to shoot opengate? Are there any technical limitations or they just don't want us to have it?
I think the only way is to shoot using pro res raw. Then you’ll get the full sensor. Update to firmware 2.
Thank you very much for the comparison of the four camera types. I would go for the FX6. One question: What are the dimensions of the image sensor of the FX6? I know it is a 35-mm-CMOS but what is the horizontal lenght and the vertical hight? Thank you.
Impressive review. But CFexpress type B has like more than double read/write speeds of the new, tiny CFexpress type A if you check the market, and probably cheaper overall. But CFexpress type A right now is using PCIe 3.0 which becoming ancient now and maybe going to 5.0 now or at least PCIe 4.0 would make it 2-4x faster so it might be the smarter form factor in the long run.
If I have the budget I think an FX6 + Sony a1 would be the dream combo.
FX9 cards are XQD not CFexpress Type B. Yes they use the same connector and form factor, but the FX9 doesn’t support Type B and XQD has limited speed in comparison to Type B, so the point I was trying to make still stands. Thanks for watching Jake
@@CVPTV Thanks a lot, Jake. Never knew about that. Warm regards.
I sold my fx6 ... it simply has too many annoying things but it is a good camera... i mean 8 bit 4k long gop???
I’ve owned an FX3 for a year and have shot a ton on it i.e. short films, music videos, and commercial work. My biggest and probably only gripe about it is that it doesn’t have internal ND. Not sure why everyone constantly complains about shutter angle, just learn the conversions from shutter speed and it’s essentially the same thing. Cheers!
They coplain about shutter angle because it is a basic feature any „cinema line“ cqmera should have.
@@castielvargastv7931 I get that but it literally wouldn’t change anything about using the camera. But that’s just my 2 cents
Great video. Thank you!
All cameras are good, but I will take ZV-E10 🤣😂🤣
my dream cameras
for vlogging in TH-cam which camera would you recommend, Between Sony A7 IV or Sony FX30.
Or do you have any personal favourite camera for Vlogging in TH-cam
Sony will release this year an additional Cine Camera. Most likely the FX9 II. So be aware of it.
I already have 2 Zeiss Batis lenses: 85mm & 25mm. As well as the Tilta FX Lightweight Kit for the FX 3.
This is all I need for my online setup and to take the occasional pictures.
I am getting the FX3, but will like more megapixel in an FX3 mark ii upgrade.
Thanks for the video.
You seem to be missing the obvious. If you’re out in super bright sunlight, or shooting something crazy, you’re gonna need a cage and a monitor for the FX 3… While the a7S3, You just put that incredible EVF to your eye and you can see in the brightest sunlight or any other difficult situation. If you’re 20 years old and have 2020 vision, I guess the back of the FX3 would be doable… But the LCD monitor sucks. So, by the time you buy a cage and a decent monitor and a hood shade… What’s the price of the FX3 again?
I going to get the FX9 for my Instageam food photography account!
informative content.
Thanks for watching John. Jake
only reason i got a7siii over fx3 is the fan, i dont want dust inside my camera.
the fan is outside of the camera electronics, cooling a heatpipe, like for any other serious hardware that needs cooling and is used outdoors.
in my country a7siii vs. fx3 is a 1k euro difference, so i will probably go with the a7s iii
do you feel that beside the sensor FX3 and FX30 has a significant difference between these 2 cameras?
dual iso on fx30 is 800 | 2500 whereas on the fx3 800 | 12800 therefore, the fx3 is fantastic if you do low light shoots.
This is an amaxing sony cinema cameras review
Nice comparison. I'd like to see a Nikon Z9 review
An interesting comparison, but it makes me wonder about a used FS7ii.
FX6 looks so good.
FX3
3:14 with the mic which isn’t included in the fx3
Would be really great if I could actually find an FX6 to buy!
No love for the more detailed image of the a7iv?
Vielen Dank für Ihr Video. Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass die Sony A7SIII die Funktion "Real-time Tracking" Autofokus bietet, mit der Sie ein ausgewähltes Objekt während der Aufnahme kontinuierlich verfolgen können. Diese Funktion ist auch bei 4K-Videos mit bis zu 120 Bildern pro Sekunde (fps) verfügbar?
Beautiful thumbnail!
I had a A6000 but am looking to finally get my first real camera mostly for music videos but also some photography. Would I be good with a Sony A7iv and the zoom f2.8 g master lens (I wish it had image stabilization)? My plan is to do stabilization with the A7iv software and in post in DaVinci Resolve.
I got a fx6 and is looking for a B camera for it but it’s hard to pick between the fx3 or the a7s3
I wonder where the A1 would rank
I'd say between the A7SIII and FX3.
It’s a still camera first…
@@philippscheithauer Still shoots 8K, 4K 120p and external raw. I see no reason for it not to be considered if the A7S III has been
@@philippscheithauer Its at least on one level with the A7sIII. Maybe even better, i heard the lowlight performance is better in some sitations and it shoots 8k.
Focus breathing compensation and animal eye af in video mode
I hate my FX3 with a passion when I think of what it COULD be.
If Sony knew how people actually use their shit, they could have fit the same BNC ports, got rid of the stupid IBIS in favour of internal ND’s, and DCI 4k, and FUCKING SHUTTER ANGLE.
Buy an fx6 .. :) .. its like saying why isnt my Toyota Corolla like a Bentley .. you can see how much room the vari ND takes up .. it would just be the same camera as the fx6 .. ?
Yeah, get the FX6.
Hey hey the stabilization is great shutter angle yes dci 4K yes
@@dregzartmedia4062 I always have my FX3 on my RS2 or sticks, as if it was a real "cinema" camera.
@@robinprobyn1971 I don't know for sure, but I suspect the ND system isn't huge. It's basically an LCD in front of the sensors, not a rotating system of discrete filters like the FX9 or an Ursa or Arri.
fx3 needs shutter angle
Just incredibly lame it doesn't. A kid could program it in in minutes - they're simply withholding... I won't ask for unrealistic things like internal ND in my fx3 but shutter angle is so easy
I know there's no comparison, but a lot of features that seem to be available on the higher end FX series seems to be already enabled in Lumix S series cameras... How do they compare with these? 🙂
I do understand that every camera/lens has its own purpose, but I was just curious to know how they both compare...
I had a similar view. I shoot Lumix S1H.. but am surprised that the Lumix can shoot 4k at super 35mm .. and I think I like the Lumix. I wanted to upgrade that's why am here but I don't see a reason for upgrading..
Great explanation! We need an FX3 that has the built in VND. Call it the FX4!
Unlikely. Internal NDsneed space. At least 2x times the FF Sensor.
the FX3 and the FX6 do no thave the same sensor. the sensor in the FX6 is not as tall as the sensor in the FX3
Really, so the fx3 is better?
Wonder why fx6 doesn't have the clean display option where all info are on the top and bottom?
I think I need to be sent all four to try out to determine. :)
Caro Amico pupi anche dalle t’andò,spiegando le cose perché dai tante nozioni siamo costretti a fermare tornare indietro ecc, sei bravissimo ma noi guardiamo ,ragioniamo, valutiamo vai più piano.ciao grande
Which is better at low light situations fx3 or fx6 ??
What resolution is cinema running these days? just sticking to 4k because of streaming services? I suppose 4096 4k, not monitor 3840
