Yeah it's hard to compare two different cameras, they've gotten so good these days I don't think you can go wrong with any. It has gotten to the point where you'll only buy a camera now depending on what your needs are like internal ND, xlr ports, if it's big or small etc!

But can you make the Blackmagic sterile and clinical? What happens if you’re shooting a comedy? Comedies tend to be known for their bright colors, and crystal clear image. People don’t exactly want to watch a Jude Apatow comedy movie that looks like Tony Scott’s Domino. What happens if you’re shooting a scene where the characters are watching a news segment? Last I checked news segments are shot on clinically sharp cameras with clinically sharp lenses, not desaturated grainy barrel roll distorted images with lens flares. The Blackmagic is not a no brainer, if it was I’d own it and not my A7S III. You can always add, but you can’t always take away. Just use dehancer if you want your awesome Sony image to look like nasty obsolete celluloid film.

Agree with all the comments here. Although, I’m a fx6 user and the footage here for the fx6 seems to be leaning more towards a magenta shift - sorry if you mentioned that already somewhere in the video, but do you think this is because of the Alexa LUT you’re using?
@films_by_aw3 ай бұрын
Perhaps, but I've had that slight shift towards magenta with other LUTs I've used on the FX6. To be honest I don't mind it, I like that the cameras have slightly different colours, and it's more noticeable when comparing cameras side by side. But I think without correction the FX6 does lean slightly more magenta than the other cameras I've compared it against (the Kinefinity, Red Komodo, Blackmagic) but I don't think it's worse, just different.
@mr.shutterz53483 ай бұрын
@@films_by_awoh I agree, I just wondered if that LUT shifted it further. My usual workflow involves the using the CST’s within resolve just to convert to the DWG workspace back to rec.709 and there’s certainly still a shift. As you say, it’s great that different cameras have these slight changes 👍

Hey man , I'm the owner of the fx6 and the lut and I'm not sure why there's a magenta shift tbh footage looks great but I see the magenta shift, tbh the model we shot in the house has a pretty pale complexion so maybe that made it more obvious, but it's weird because I shoot interviews and get a neutral image 🤷🏼♂️ maybe it's because we see the difference with the black magic footage @@mr.shutterz5348

Great comparison and both look really amazing to be honest. One question: why didn't you use color management for both camera's? I think the Alexa LUT has more of a 'look' to it, it seems less crunchy and a bit better color separation than the Davinci color management. Maybe if both would be color managed it would be even easier to compare.
@films_by_aw3 ай бұрын
I did at first, but I must admit it just didn't look as good. We monitored with the Sony 2 Alexa LUT in camera, and the CST settings were coming in a bit hot with the highlights. So I would have needed to color correct it all, which I didn't need to do for the Blackmagic (even though I monitored that from a different LUT), make of that what you will. But thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment.

FX6: More dynamic range, (very good) Auto focus, compressed formats, crazy good internal ND, way better low light. BM6KFF: Higher resolution, more mojo, internal RAW. Practically speaking, the FX6 will always be a bit more versatile for paying jobs. The Black magic is a little more fun.

@BilletMedia3 ай бұрын
I have owned both and the image on the 6KFF is definitely better. Sharper but also more organic. Much nicer skin tones and more pleasing colors, way better highlight rolloff. The built-in ND and autofocus on the FX6 are great, but the autofocus still isn't foolproof. The false colors and conventional ISO adjustments make the 6KFF way easier to expose, instead of setting the CineEI and using the itty bitty histogram and zebras on the Sony. I sold my FX6 and bought a Lumix S5iiX AND a 6KFF with change left over.
@films_by_aw3 ай бұрын
For me it is easier to get the image I like with the 6KFF, not to say the FX6 isn't great, just to my taste I prefer the 6KFF's look. However if I was still a working camera operator (I direct more these days), the FX6 would be a no brainer, as it's just ergonomically easier to use. But Sony really needs to stop gatekeeping False Color.
