The FX6 Full-Frame Camera from Sony was developed to offer versatile, cine-style imaging in a truly compact form. With the ability to capture up to 15+ stops of dynamic range, Sony's S-Cinetone gamma for filmlike skin tones, and up to 10-bit, 4:2:2 XAVC-I recording, the FX6 is poised to both supplement your FX9 or VENICE capture and to nimbly take on documentary, gimbal, and drone shoots on its own.
Versatile Addition to Sony Cinema Line
As part of Sony's Cinema Line, the FX6 shares key imaging features with established cameras like the VENICE and FX9. Common core attributes include a full-frame sensor, filmlike color science, a compact, lightweight form, professional connector interfaces, and advanced autofocus choices.
Compared to the FX9, the FX6 differs in several specs; but many FX6 specs tick the same boxes and several improve upon the FX9:
It matches the FX9's video capture up to DCI 4K60
Has the same S-Cinetone, S-Log3, and HLG gamma choices
Outputs 16-bit raw like the FX9
Sony E lens mount
Offers the same 1/4 to 1/128 ND options
Also provides 2-channel XLR audio inputs
FX6 differences from the FX9:
4K capture vs 6K
Has a single 12G/6G/3G-SDI BNC port, trimming the FX9's additional 3G-SDI port
Incorporates a timecode port but lacks the FX9's genlock connector
Improved FX6 specs include:
An ISO range of 320 to 409,600 vs the FX9's 320 to 102,400 range
Top frame rates of 120p in 4K and up to 240p in HD vs the FX9's top 1080p in HD
Dual card slots compatible with both durable, highly efficient CFexpress Type A or widely available SDXC cards, compared to the FX9's reliance on proprietary XQD cards and a single SD card option
Expressive Cinematic Look
Sony's S-Cinetone gamma curve offers a cinematic look with filmlike color, softer tones, and pleasing skin tone reproduction. Not only is this cinematic look available for in-camera viewing, but it can also be captured and output with minimal or no grading at all for a time-saving post process. The S-Cinetone, S-Log3, S-Gamut3, and S-Gamut3.Cine choices also streamline the process of matching FX6 footage with your VENICE or FX9 video and offer broad color-grading options.
