Sony FX6 Peaking is incorrect
Same issue on FX3, FX30, Burano... Sony doesn't want you to use anamorphic unless you're using a Venice and paying them a license for anamorphic firmware. There are other quirks you might encounter shooting anamorphics on Sony bodies, but don't expect them to fix them

Is FX3 better than Sony A7V?
The FX3 has a lower MP sensor with larger pixels which reduces rolling shutter and can record in basically any framerate. The FX3's image will look better. Personally, I take Lumix cameras over Sony

My first cinema camera!
I’ve been a canon shooter for most of my life and have 2x c400s now. When the mk2 came out I was surprised how little it got used on bigger sets. Sony seems to be the leader but honestly my c400s are better than any of the Sony cams in the mainstream. I’ve shot with the fx9, fx6, and fx3. It’s all t

Not sure where this fits in…. #sonyfx2
Oof. The EVF is cool but I can’t believe they’re choosing this sensor and these specs in 2025. No open gate is inexcusable IMO. And this is coming from someone who likes Sony cameras — own an FX3/6

FX3 or A7V as someone transitioning from photos to video
Honestly the X-H2S is a great camera and in some ways has a better image/video specs than either Sony (open gate, 6K, ProRes or high data rate H265, great color). The biggest improvement you’ll notice is autofocus (Fuji AF is terrible) but the lenses are bigger and more expensive. If you do get a So

Canon C80/C400 vs FX3/FX6
Shooting a basketball doc right now with the C400, C50, and the Komodo X sometimes. The C400 and C50 are magic together and I assume the c80 as well. The codecs are beefy, the image is instantly gorgeous, and the bodies are miles above the fx6/fx3 for flexibility. The canon cinema cameras let me sho

Fixing Scrolling Line on LED Wall with no GenLock support?
The FX3 has an anti-flicker feature and the FX30 has a variable shutter feature. Those may make it better, but probably not completely solve it.

Hell no. If it's $3,300+ and doesn't do uncropped 4k60 AT LEAST they shouldn't even release it or they should fix it with firmware or drop the price considerably. It's gonna bomb immediately and you might as well just get an FX3 at that point. How tf is a newer screen, newer chip, AI autofocus, and

What’s the difference in an Arri Alexa and a Sony fx3? In terms of the image.
yeah it's not even just this sub, it's become an annoying Film Blog mantra that "if they could shoot that on an FX3, so can you", as if it didn't also have a $70m budget. it looks incredible and broke the mold for this kind of film, but camera aside, it still went through the same Fotokem, ILM, etc

I traded an fx30 for this
Lmao so your standard is Netflix approved FX3/FX30? Not everyone will care about this tho, including myself. While many Sony owners will eventually rig it out to be a "cinema rig", some people would rather work with an "actual" cinema camera and not a mirrorless camera first and video second. I gues
