SONY ILME-FX6 Cinema Line Full-Frame Camera with SEL24105G

Look this camera is a powerhouse! fx3 is great ( I own one as well) but I wanted to add a 3rd camera package. I was between this and the Fx9 - the Fx6 is FAR superior. Internal ND is a game changer for those who haven't experienced it. I HIGHLY recommend.

But you probably know that. If you're cross shopping this with the A7S III, just know that the better experience of operation is totally worth it. I shoot better on it, and at the end of the day, that's everything.

No 3.5mm on the body or handle. The xlr k3m module has two xlr and a 3.5. You get the mi shoe but guess what the uwp d27 is very expensive and for the life of me I couldn't find any smad p5s in stock. What if I wanted to have two shotguns and wireless lavs? Boo. Other than that, the menu system is very clunky compared to the new a7sii/a74 menus. The quick menu isn't very customizable. Now aside from the lack of a 3.5 on the body and the usability issues, the performance of the camera is phenomenal.

This camera is $6,000 new. Just wait for stock and scalpers can eat them up.

I own this as my owner operator camera as a freelance cinematographer and it's almost the perfect camera for a lot of jobs. I've used a variety of cameras and chose this camera to own as my personal camera and comes out on a large portion of my jobs when we aren't renting a Arri or Red general. I have even used it on set along side the higher end cameras as a B or C camera and its held its own.For corporate and documentary work this camera is great due to its small size (when stripped down it could be easily overlooked as it looks like a slightly larger DSLR). The color science is a much improved and pleasing color from older sony cameras, with S-LOG 3 cinegama to give you a lot of room in post or the cinegama color look burnt into the footage for quick turn around project. The internal ND Filters are great not just for ease but I have found using the Auto ND option extremely helpful on doc work where we are moving fast or for transitioning inside to outside while filming a shot.This camera works great also for narritive for smaller productions due to its size, weight (though I do find the weight could be heavier for handheld work if you don't add any accessories). All around its a workhorse that can do all types of jobs.My main issues with the camera are these two things:1. The top handle is the only option for audio inputs and only accepts XLR (no 3.5mm on the camera at all) which means you are left only with the internal mic if you take the top handle off. Sadly there are currently no accessories to fix this.2. The camera sadly can not shoot in 4k if you want to adjust the sensor to super 35mm coverage. You can do this in 1080p but not 4k which is a shame if you are trying to use glass that may not cover the full size of the sensor. The FX9 does this but the FX6 is not capable

Sony dropped the ball not making enough of these. this camera is a myth and cant be obtained anywher
