Significant Sony synergy is at work in the FX6. To remember which model does what, think of FX as Format eXtremely large and so Full Frame. Another reason may be its strategic planning based on extensive market research. One reason may be that Sony controls the design, development, supply chain and manufacturing of the entire process in-house, as their slogan says, from lens to living room. Instead, it seems that Sony is building cameras that shoot Full Frame AND also Super 35 AND can be very small. It is interesting that Sony does not appear to be pursuing cine cameras that only shoot Super35.
(As already mentioned, VENICE has an E-mount underneath its PL mount.) Like VENICE and FX9, the new Sony FX6 is a Full Frame, 4K, E-mount camera. FX6 is also smaller than the small S35 FS5.įX6 records up to 120 fps in QFHD (4K UHD) and 240 fps in FHD.įX6 will be US $5,999.99 when it ships in December. In fact, the new FX6 is smaller and lighter than the Super35 FS7 II. Like Fellini’s mantra in 81/2, “Asa, Nisi, Masa,” the camera beat thrums: “Lighter, smaller, faster, cheaper.” The word “cheaper” is not the right one, but it thrums more melodically than “more affordable,” which is what the FX6 is.įX6 is the smallest member of the Cinema Line, at 6 1/8″ long x 4 5/8″ high x 41/4″wide. Had there been an IBC this year, FX6 most likely would have been there in September 2020.Īnd so, the Sony ILME-FX6 launches officially on November 17 at 10 am EST. FX9, the affordable E-mount Full Frame camera was released a year ago at IBC: September 2019. Previous Cinema Line cameras were introduced, before they were actually inducted into the “Cinema Line,” in the month of Septembe.: VENICE, the flagship Full Frame camera with a very usable E-mount lurking beneath its removable PL mount, was launched in September 2017.
Sony will be releasing and shipping this next addition to the Cinema Line, FX6, by the end of 2020.” The next camera will appeal to a wider spectrum of visual creators. “Existing cameras that will form part of the Sony Cinema Line include VENICE and FX9. That hints at more Sony Cinema Line cameras to come. The new series will extend beyond traditional cinema camera and professional camcorder form factors.” “Cinema Line will deliver not only the coveted cinematographic look cultivated through extensive experience in digital cinema production, but also the enhanced operability and reliability that meet discerning creators’ various needs. “The Cinema Line is a series of camera products for a wide range of content creators that will bring together Sony’s expertise in image quality, attention to detail, technology and passion in digital cinema.
