The Sony FX6 is the Goldilocks camera (for me) - it's not too big, not too small, just about right...
The Sony FX6 incorporates much of what made the Sony FS7 a widely adopted and much used broadcast workhorse. The Sony FX6 sits between the FX3 and FX9 in Sony full frame camera line-up. The FX3 is a great camera on a gimble and a wonderful B -cam to the FX6,.
The FX9 offers the ability to shoot 6K and therefore allows the ability to shoot on S35mm lenses at up to 4K- which really opens up alot more lens options.
As a Sony FX6 filmmaker based in Scotland I often shoot in challenging environments - from the Scottish mountains to industrial spaces, on boats and in wet scenarios. Filming video in these scenarios I have found it to be a highly capable camera in extreme scenarios.
One of the standout features of the Sony FX6 is its advanced autofocus capabilities. Say goodbye to blurry shots and hello to crisp, clear focus on your subjects. This intelligent autofocus system enables filmmakers to concentrate on their creative vision without worrying about technical distractions.
That key drawback aside, it offers a high dynamic range, 10 bit recording, it's light and ergonomic. It shoulder mounts. It can be build up to be a long lens camera. It is stirdy enough to take v lock batteries and monitor.
Favourite Features on the Sony FX6
One of my favourite features is being able to create a custom button for low light performance. Meaning you can jump to a much higher base ISO. This tech comes down from cameras like the Sony Venice, but into a wonderfully small form factor. My college with Canon cameras, just don't have the same low light capability.
Imagine capturing the BBC Scotland series 'Edinburgh Unlocked' travelling from Edinburgh fringe venue to fringe venue. With it's amazing low light performance it easily copes with dark and unpredictable situations. Imagine walking around Edinburgh's city streets lake at night with a small, yet very effective 4K broadcast camera. Complimented well with the range of Sony glass; the 16-35 f2.8G master, the sony 24-70mm F 2.8 G master and the Sony 70-200mm f 2.8 G master.
The Sony FX6 is an ideal documentary camera weather you are capturing th city's busy festivl streets, or lurking around after dark. This compact yet mighty camera boasts a full-frame sensor, ensuring your footage is nothing short of cinematic perfection. Whether you are shooting a short film, a documentary, or a commercial, the Sony FX6 is your ideal companion.

The Sony FX6 emerges as a game-changer for filmmakers in the city. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an aspiring filmmaker, the FX6 opens up a world of possibilities, empowering you to bring your cinematic visions to life like never before.
