Let me break it down for you. If you want to capture exceptional cinematic footage, whether for film or videography, consider the following breakdown: 10% comes from the camera, 20% from the lens you choose, 20% from lighting, and the remaining 50% from your knowledge of lighting techniques, framing, composition, focal lengths, and storytelling. Instead of constantly chasing new gear, focus on mastering the equipment you have, understanding its sensor capabilities, and leveraging its strengths. New gear won’t necessarily make you a better filmmaker, but dedicating time to research and honing your craft will. That said, if you choose to invest in every new camera on the market, that’s entirely up to you.
I had to learn that the hard way, gas really got me I bought 7 high end camras and mid range lens and lights like a fool. But learned and still learning in film school. We'll said I wish college would have told me what u just told us in your comment
Yes exactly. I feel like when you have the knowledge, and slowly work up to good gear, you can make almost anything look good with most cameras now days. I have an fx6 and won't be switching anytime soon. I do want to learn how to use other systems though in case projects require it. Thats were renting comes in :)
Im a travel “vlogger” Im still using my canon R6 mk1 lol not the best on paper but I’ve been traveling everywhere with that camera, I’ve been putting mud on it, sand, rain, snow, now I’m traveling in Southeast Asia I don’t baby my cameras at all, I brought that one to the sea in the Philippines, however I’m looking to upgrade for a cinema camera I’m getting into personal projects documentaries, but all the cameras are exceptional with it’s own limitations getting hard to get one
I had used FX6 shooting presentation video and suffered from the internal video codec limitation. So no FX6 any more. I do need RAW file for more color and bit dept handling, not any Log compressed video.
I've never felt the fx6 codec was limiting in coloring. I just shot a movie with venice 1 as A cam and fx6 as b cam and the image is indistinguishable. That being said I rarely shoot heavy rgb or weird lighting conditions which need to be saved in the grade, so if an image needs saving because it was poorly shot, then I can't comment. But in any normal lighting and exposure environment i never felt the need for raw
@@dp_zee Thank you. I shot FX6 in extreme RGB pure color in the scene rhen it really showed that the internal codex could not hold up well with that extreme scenes. In normal scenes it was really good, but for extreme scenes it could not.
Yeah I can tell you’ve had more experience with the Sony because the BlackMagic images were not only blurry but also underexposed. The sensor is comparable to ARRI. I’ve matched these in Post many times after sets and the image for the price is just ridiculous. Also the Blackmagic sensor has more than 13 stops - they just love to under claim this. I don’t know why. We did a test and it was almost 15 stops but Marketing I suppose. Nevertheless great video but you did not do BlackMagic justice at all.
Thanks! I have to admit I had no monitor on the Pyxis and had to focus from the side with the anamorphics haha. But in fact I like to underexpose BM footage in general from time to time.
Nice review man! SUBBED. I saw the first shot winning for the PYXIS. The rest of the shots were very similar. When it comes to price point, PYXIS is the play. Even when you buy the DJI Lidar for the PYXIS allowing the AF option , the PYXIS is still a better price.
Thank you! And it's funny how light changes everything. If you look closely you see, that the "garden shot" with the Pyxis just has the "better light" from the sun. When I was filming with the FX6 it was cloudy and more flat. But yes I think they are close - nothing you could not "repair" with some grading. All shots were just brought to a rec709 color space.
@@stumpflukas Ah yes of course, lighting is everything. Don't get me wrong, I have wanted an FX6 for 3 years, I Just didn't bite on it because I'm Canadian and it's over 10 grand lol. Either way, enjoyed this review. Cheers.
By the end of this year, the FX6 will be able to record in BRAW with the 12G monitor. So, basically, you’ll have a Pyxis camera… but with internal ND filters! 🥳👌🏻
I actually would have loved to see a dedicated body comparison between the two, out of the cages and stacked side by side. That's what I clicked on the video for.. Haha
Any modern cinema camera can do well in your lighting condition. But the fx6 limitations starts to be seen in a contrast lighting in gradients. Especial when one color switches to an opposite one like red to blue. These borders look harsh on fx6 due to codec and bit depth limitations. After couple of project shot on fx6 and fx3 I gave up using these entry level Sony line. Any camera shooting raw or 4444 xq is my choice now. By the way now you can shoot braw on fx6 which turned out to be much noisier on the same isos than BMPCC or Pyxis.
hey bro it was interested to hear but the sound in this video gives me a hedeach so had to stop after 2 minutes. please lower the music volume while you speak.
What difference do it make? Your shooting your dog 😅. I HATE the consumer film maker space so much. FX3 is a good camera. Pyxis is a good camera. Who cares about what looks better. What are you shooting ? What are you creating ? Besides wedding and b roll with music ?

In my case, my camera was stolen, so I'm looking for options, and I'm between these two cameras. 🫠
@@Pabloreec that's terrible my man! How did that happen?

The right tool for the job. With a Pyxis this would be no fun I guess haha
Great review. Honestly, I prefer the image out of the Sony.
Thank you! It's really hard to decide. In the end it's about personal taste I guess :)
I Like the Image of the Pyxis but the Rolling Shutter was even noticeably in this little handheld shots
it's okay but not the best. But to be fair, the Burano has the same RS as the BM haha.
I think the image quality of the Pixis is superior, but the Sony FX6 has built-in ND filters, which makes it better suited for solo camera operation.
good take!
I had used FX6 shooting presentation video and suffered from the internal video codec limitation. So no FX6 any more. I do need RAW file for more color and bit dept handling, not any Log compressed video.
I can relate! It depends always on the jobs you do, but BRAW or RAW in general is really handy!

@@8KHDRVideoBySittipong I can see that situation needing the color latitude of raw
@@8KHDRVideoBySittipongBRAW will be available for the fx6 through the video assist 12G soon

How close-up does the DJI Lidar focus systems work?

@@Giovanni-Giorgio It's minimum focus will depend on the glass you own. In terms of how far it can focus, it's about 20 meters range.
I prefer the footage from the FX6 although the PYXIS also looks great!
Great cameras. I’m more into the black nail paint. Nice!!!
haha thank you my man!

Yes I guess in some way you are right! But there are some differences still there I guess :)

I just uploaded a photo on my feed here in TH-cam! Check it :)
6:5 Anamorphic 2X and Open gate shooting on Pyxis 6K is what I need.
Sony specs are nice, but it's almost twice the price of the Pyxis.
Amazing for the price!
Good comparison man! Cheers 👊
Thanks! Greetings to Amsterdam
Neither lol, but they do look alike especially with the new monitor upcoming. BM is crazy for the price.
Nice review my friend :) please get in some skin tones for the next test 😊
Yeah my boy! let's check that out :)

I agree!
Hello may I ask you is the baseplate of the FX6 (the tilta one) a good fit to the Pyxis ?
Just checked, the Tilta Cage does not fit at all :)
Its hard to tell the difference on TH-cam. But Nice review
Thanks my man!
hey bro it was interested to hear but the sound in this video gives me a hedeach so had to stop after 2 minutes. please lower the music volume while you speak.
Sorry man! Did you listen with Headphones?
wow this both can compare the quality are the same
they get quite close!
Blackmagic does look better... but you legit can't move it at all or it's jello.
Checked the RS some days ago - it's heavy!
Nice images!
thank you!
SONY!!!!!!!!!!

Black Magic is a little sharper which isn’t needed but helps when you need to crop in. The image is about the same.
The Black Magic is much cheaper.
I would say the FX6 has this "Sony Look" - quite clean, quite "video" looking. BM is a bit more in the "filmic" site

Exactly!
Different tools for different jobs
so it is!
