PROS & CONS pros: v good AF; good low light; nice & small; cons: 2nd base ISO too high at 12000; fiddly controls; extremely expensive native batteries.

If I understand it, due to the lack of Bravia sinc, the camera cannot be controlled (record on/off) via DJI Focus Pro. It is incomprehensible to me that the smaller brother fx3 supports this feature and therefore has support for Dji Focus pro as well. Even the older brother sony A7s II. Both are cheaper devices and have this feature I don't understand why sony can't add it to this camera as well.

The FX6 fits perfectly with my workflow. It gives me the features of a cinema camera in a smaller form factor but without being too intimidating.

Incredible camera, beautiful image and super easy to use. Can't complain about much with this camera. The only thing I wish we had was a couple more options like we do with the little brother of the FX3, 120fps in a normal mode that's not S&Q to gain audio and then being able to plug in a 3.5mm mic on the body! Otherthan that, sensational camera!

I bought this a month ago had only a few hours of testing and learning how the system works And great results are achieved. I've always loved the outcome of this cam. I will be posting some clips online soon.

At a budget friendly level professional video camera, this has all the bells and whistles that I'm after for the productions I work on and in a form that makes filming with it fluid.

I bought this a month ago but recently the HDMI port stopped working. Hopefully my warranty will cover the fixing.

I love the camera, but `I'm unable to get raw output to ninja v, it works with my a7s3 but not this camera. I followed all of the instruction and the service team can't figure it out either

This is one of the best purchases we have made to help grow our video production company. The camera is great. Our only feedback is that the body feels like it has mainly been made of some type of plastic. a few bits seem cheaply made but the overall performance really is unbeatable at this price point. We are very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about making a purchase!

It's a great camera in all ways, however would benefit from image stabilisation like the fx3.

Incredible camera, especially if you're a run and gun videographer like me. Literally the only other thing that I could even think to want from this camera would be a slightly larger sensor so you could reliably do anamorphic lenses in 4K, but that is serious nitpicking.

I fell in love with this camera the first time I saw it. And then it was only a question of when I will buy it. And I was. And I am more than happy that I own this camera. It is a wonderful tiny little camera with big compatibilities.

This camera is a dream to work with. Images are seamless between the FX6 and FX9 can take it places my FX9 can't go.

I recently filmed&directed an 8-part natural history series for Channel 5 and as the series required both actuality with ecologists and scientists as well as wildlife photography (macro and long lens) the FX6 proved to be the most versatile camera I have ever worked with. Its ability to capture cinematic documentary style sequences and be portable and light enough to trek into and out of the forest every day only served to make it even more attractive as a camera set up. The internal ND filters were brilliant in maintaining accurate exposure without the need for a matte box (a great help in difficult to film situations) and its ability to quickly switch from S&Q and Cache during wildlife filming to GVs and actuality-led sequences allowed for fast capture of scenes. It is especially impressive in low light environments. I used a variety of lenses throughout production across a wide range of brands (Canon, Tamron, Sony) and all worked exceptionally well with the FX6. The Sony wireless microphone system through the hot shoe mount helped to reduce the inconvenience of mounting two receivers and stripped down, the camera body was light enough to use on both a gimbal and slider effectively. A pretty remarkable little camera (that could). I was so impressed with its performance, latitude and picture quality, I purchased one after production wrapped!

I received this camera through school a couple months ago and love the features and ease of use. I think the ND filters are one of the greatest features.

It took a year to the day to get here, but it was well worth the wait. As our first "new" camera in 12 years, getting used to all the options for sLog and HDR is quite daunting, but the imagery this thing makes, from such a small package, is amazing. I was able to color balance my FS100 to the FX6 so I can now do 2-camera shoots and streaming. The touch focus is amazing. Bokah superb. Best part the automatic variable ND. Only downside is the size of the files! But I'm not complaining. Can't wait to do a Chromakey job.

Love my FX6. Good dynamic range, great features, and rugged. You can get the same image from an FX3 or A7SIII, but the quality of life stuff is just so worth it. I find myself using the XLR inputs and internal NDs so much.

I received the Sony FX6 as part of my degree plan with Full Sail University (Digital Cinematography Bachelors of Science). I am super excited to learn and grow more with this Camera!

I teach a digital cinematography class where we started shipping in November around 50 FX6 cameras a month to our students. The response from the students has been overwhelming. Incredible feature rich camera that is setting a new bar for quality and features from a mid-range digital cinematography camera.

Excellent image quality and ease of use. Terrible screen support, I ended up going the Zacuto route with excellent results and have stoped using my FS7 except for American jobs where I need to shoot NTSC which unfortunately the FX6 doesn?t really do. I would have paid double for the inclusion of a global shutter but overall I?m really happy and would hire a Venice for bigger jobs. Please ad Cinematographer or DP or Lighting cameraman to your multiple choice job descriptions. Nobody likes being called a ? videographer? Huw T Walters - Cinematographer

The product is great, but the customer service at Adorama is a nightmare. I did not receive all of my items and they blame the carrier and it has been time consuming to get it resolved (which it still is not resolved.)

In the days of Blackmagic and other competitive priced cameras, it's truly refreshing to see such a solid product at this price. Without a doubt, this blows the Komodo out of the water.

After 5 years shooting commercials with my FS7 I now have the perfect cinema camera and the experience with Sony to really appreciate it! High shutter speed, brilliant custom color space, lightweight, and the auto focus! ?amazing!

A great little camera. I was going to buy the FX9 but realized the smaller package was useful since I was used to shooting with DSLRs and this would be a little bit more of a physical operating feel like the DSLR but with more stability and heft...

A joy to operate. No XLR on body, the weak monitor hinge and lack of the A7siii's autofocus being the only minor complains about an otherwise awesome camera.

I bought the FX6 about 6 months ago and it is a great camera. I guess the frustration is the amount of extortionately expensive extra bits you need to run it in a shoulder rig with V lock batteries, lens etc but once I got that sorted and added a Sony FE4 28-135 it created a great gun and run rig.producing super pictures.

I have been using my FX6 for almost a year now and Its almost perfect. so easy to use, Incredible face detection AF and that built in ND makes this a brilliant camera. I just wish there was an Audio Jack on the body, Maybe Sony can make an adapter from the handle connector?
