    First video I’ve seen of yours, instant subscribe.
    Excellent interview round-up. Would you consider doing a BTS of this video format? I think we need to see more TH-cam professionals talking to each other, but how much work goes into contacting everyone and using their videos to tell your story? What incentives does a smaller TH-cam channel use to work with bigger TH-cam channels like the ones your interviewing?
    This are niche questions, but maybe some other people are interested too.

Not because I plan to buy or own the Sony, but because competition breeds great products. I’m hopeful canon will have a solid challenger with their rumored canon c200 mkii. If canon doesn’t have something compelling… OOOF.

    For audio, I wouldn't want an XLR input on the body. I think it's enough if it had a hot-shoe on the body that would let us use the SMAD-P3 and similar devices on it without the handle.

    Good to see all the creators in one space! Nice one Kofi. Personally, To be honest, I have a gripe with Sony because I feel like the the Sonya7siii , FX3, Fx6 and possibly FX9 are the same camera with just different ergonomics! The image is the same and picture look is the exact same! And as an owner of red Komodo, BM 6K/4K and Sonya7siii I’m very conflicted with Sony’s image in comparison to other systems!
    In my experience I just found the Dynamic range and colour science on Sony doesn’t touch BM and Komodo yet! At this price point they have. And I was sadly disappointed when I rented out an fx6 and found that I got the same if not similar image to my sony7siii, granted with additional nice to haves like internal ND’s I just found the stops to. It be enough than my variable ND that I had on the Sonya7siii. Also I feel I have to a bit hater to get a much cinematic image on post that is simply a breeze on Redcode raw and BRAW. I mostly shoot commercials, music videos and brand stories and the FX6 was basically not better than the a7siii at all. I think the camera is way overhyped for workflow in what gives you image wise! But hey different strokes for different folks.

    • @KofiYeboah
      @KofiYeboah  ปีที่แล้ว

      Everyone can have an opinion honestly, I like my Cine ei, built in NDs, XLR audio, button layouts and the form factor that I like for my run and gun doc style, and I’ve learned to make the images I want out of it look pretty good ( in my opinion at least) had the Komodo , for me juice wasn’t worth the squeeze, and I work with a ton of fitness and athleisure and some shots I NEED auto focus (by need I mean it’s much more inconvenient manually focusing for some things)
      They’re all tools 👍🏾

    Great video. As soon a the FX6 was announced I immediately preordered it and was one of the lucky few who's had it for years now. I definitely think it's close to the most perfect camera for me ever made. There's one HUGE feature I feel it's missing though and I was surprised no one mentioned it in what they'd like to see in the MKII: Anamorphic Features would make it perfect in my opinion. I know Sony will probably never do it, but BlackMagic and Panasonic have been anamorphic desqueeze options forever and ability to shoot in different aspect ratios like 3:2, 6:5, 4:3, etc. Even Canon I believe is now offering these options. I don't think Sony would do it, but If they had a 3:2 or 4:3 native 6K sensor in the MKII with some desqueeze options, and even possibly Open Gate Shooting, I think it would be perfect for me.

    Fair play for getting a range of opinions from TH-cam. Held out with my c200 as long as I could before submitting to the c70. It solved all my headaches but the image can be a little boring compared to the c200 raw. The ballache of switching to Sony lenses is too much to draw me to the fx6 and I’ve not really seen images that surpass the canon cameras. The image from the Ursa or the Komodo could sway me from my boredom though. Or maybe I just focus on making better work 😅

    I work in wildlife and i prefer it over the REDs that dominate the natural history industry. There are cons such as no crop-ability for reframing from 4k, and there are a lot of buttons and switches to get in the way on the outside (reds are wonderfully simple when climbing in trees, on cliffs, etc.). But the pros outweigh the cons 10x fold. Mostly price and the data size. Ill save enough just in data storage to buy 3 more fx6s. Also better weather sealing i feel like. Oh and obviously low light capabilities. Animals love being active in dusk or dawn.
    Edit- I totally agree with Moji. I have used the ursa12k a bunch and I LOVE the workflow with Braw and davinci. The menu system is deliciously simple and the data is cheap. BUT.... it doesnt hold up physically. We have had the usb-c input for data go out 3 times in one year and still doesnt work, and it flips out in sub zero temps.

    Amazing video. Thanks a lot for all the effort into this mega review! I have the a7SIII so the natural second body should be an a7iv, a7Rv, or an a1 as a proper "hybrid" camera that can shoot large resolution photos. FX6 looks enticing with the internal eVND when I wanna higher someone I don't really trust his judgement in using VND's properly for weddings going outdoors to indoors. An a1 wounds good but for that much money I would love 8K@60fps with faster sensor readout to make 8K a viable option for wildlife filmmaking and others. In 4K the a1 is just perfect and most of the time better than a7SIII/FX3/FX6 to me due to that crop mode + with 1.5x CIZ that could make a 600mm lens into 1200mm with very good image at 60fps. a7iv can do the same but the sensor is kinda slow coming from an 8.7ms a7SIII while a1 is respectfully around 15ms.

Also not all bayer sensors are the same. This made me look into the subject with more detail.., good stuff to know in theroy.
    Does anyone here remember the Sony Betacam.? Basically its has all of the features of the FX6 but it was not considered a cinema camera. Anything can be a cinema camera if it is projected in a theatre, so what is the point of that title in 2023?
