FX3 vs FX6 vs FX9 Comparison. Who Reigns Supreme?

[@Superjeanmarc]

In November, I shot during one month a documentary for Vice News aboard a rescue boat that saves people in the Mediterranean Sea. I was the sole shooter and I used a7sIII 95% of the time. I also had a Canon 200 but I only used it for sit down interviews. The a7sIII was really better than the c200 (for me at least) for this kind of run and gun situations (extreme low light, fast rubber boats with big waves, chaotic rescue situations...). The AF was even usable despite the Metabones and Canon glass. That all said, I wish the a7sIII was more video oriented, and I am now therefore considering buying the FX3 for myself. I like the design better and of course the included XLR module, although I can't explain why they did not make it detachable to give the option to use directly on the camera without the handle. Also, something you did not mention Mark, is that the FX3 has a mini jack input in case you want to strip down the camera to it's bare minimum. ( This mini jack, is strangely not available on the FX6 if I'm not wrong.... ) When I was on the speed rescue boat for example, I used the Seinnheiser MK-400 which could eventually be considered as "not professional".. (whatever that means) but hey, this was almost a war situation, with people in distress, drowning etc,... This hasn't hindered me to make a film that has now almost 900K views on the Vice News KZbin channel. Lack of ND's is indeed always drawback, but because of the harsh conditions aboard the ship, I valued more the form factor of the a7sIII and the image stabilisation over the commodity of the ND's on the c200. I became a master of adjusting the circular VND with the top of my finger while shooting and I ended up missing more waveforms or false color than internal ND's. Ironically, much older and cheaper cameras like the GH5 or the more recent S5 have better ergonomics for video. Why no waveform / vectorscope displays nor shutter angle on the FX3?? Something already implemented on the GH4! It's so frustrating to see a 2021 camera marketed as "cine line" without these basic features that only depends from software… False color would also be super handy. Hopefully, it will come in a firmware upgrade. Long story short, this camera is definitely not only about image quality but mainly about ergonomics. I love your channel and content, but just now, as potential FX3 buyer, I wish you had focused a bit on the usability of the camera as it's been quite clear for everyone that the image quality is basically equal to the a7sIII. Would love to know more about your set up / rig with the SmallHD monitor attached to the top handle, as this is a definitely another differentiating point of this camera (lack of EVF, but handle included and build in mounting points.). It looks really handy with the screen is centered / in line with the lens, and doesn't seem to hinder the use of the handle itself. Would be great to see how the camera feels when you shoot with it, with this form factor.. how you can quickly switch to slo mo compared to the -apparently awkward- experience of the FX9,… How do you compensate the absence of C1, c2 c3 buttons of the a7sIII. Anyway... I thought I could share my experience here after a long and harsh shoot on a a7sIII and as potential buyer of the FX3. Because, yes, despite my feeling of being ripped off by Sony that did not include Waveform / True color / Shutter angle and 24p.. I still consider buying it over the a7siii... :) Keep up the great content as always.

Thanks for the input!

[@lukecatena7567]

@Superjeanmarc Great work on the vice piece man. I'm curious what you ended up going with? I shoot a lot of run and gun doc as well and I was looking at the fx3, a7siii or c70 since the fx6 is no where to be found haha

[@Superjeanmarc]

@LT - Video. Thank you much for your words! For some reason I only see this comment now… :/ Happy to have inspired you!

[@Superjeanmarc]

@@lukecatena7567 Thanks for your comment Luke. I ended up with the FX3, and I have to say that I do not regret it at all. It might seems like nothing but the video specific features of the body, like the second record button in the front, tally lights, and of course the XLR handle makes a huge difference. There is one accessory you HAVE to buy though which is the Smallrig handle extension ( MD3490 ) that improves infinitely the grip and functionally of the system, adding a NATO rail at the top where I attach my monitor. I personally wouldn't go for the C70, despite it being an excellent camera, because I'm not a fan of the current lens ecosystem of Canon that mixes EF and RF.. I hate adapters and find it just adds confusion when buying lenses. The E-mount lens choice is just amazing. Also, I bought the a7IV as still camera, that can also serve as b-cam for interviews. For me, the really big downside of the FX3 remains the lack of internal ND's.. And in that area, the variable progressive ND of the FX6 is unbeatable ... Maybe one day .. :) Hope it helps!

[@lukecatena7567]

@@Superjeanmarc Thanks for the detailed response! Do you find yourself missing the EVF of the a7siii? I want to stay away from the A7IV because of everything I've heard from overheating problems. Also, do you have any more doc work online shot on the fx3? would love to check it out!

[@zacharyhunter8340]

It's also worth mentioning that the FX9 can still shoot in s35 in 4K, so your lens choices are much more abundant than the FX6/3

Honestly one of the most unbiased and packed with knowledge cinema camera reviews I've ever saw, thank you very much. I'm a designer crossing over to content creation.

[@FlipDeRiviera]

Exactly! The FX3 is an absolute beast of a camera for indie filmmakers. XLR inputs, active cooling system, mounting points, top handle included, 10-bit internal and 16-bit RAW video output. Much more suitable and reliable for professional video work than the a7S III that’s for sure. Great review Mark, always a pleasure! 👌🏽 Greetings

[@timschooler]

Phillip Bloom has a very insightful (lengthy) video on this exact subject. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3WqpqSwi6qKmbs

[@GlennHanns]

Depends on what camera the LUT is based on. If the LUT was created from the Fx-9 then the fx-6 and fx-3 will look magenta as the fx-9 has a noticeable green tint to it’s original image out of the box. I suspect this is what has happened in this example. If you create the LUT from the image output of the fx-3 then the other two cameras would both look green with the fx-9 the worst.

[@kazlepek6552]

It’s not just the color, the texture is different. The FX3 definitely looks much sharper

[@reelweaver]

fully agree. but anyways loved the detailed comparison

[@GlennHanns]

@@kazlepek6552 the FX-9 has the best resolution of all these cameras even if they are all set to the same settings. The FX-9’s sensors resolution is almost twice that of the Fx-6 and if you weren’t looking at a compressed KZbin version of this observation you could instantly tell which footage was shot on what camera just from the extra details in the FX-9 footage. FYI, I believe that in the latest firmware update for the Fx-9 some colour adjustments have been done to reduce the green mentioned in my original post.

[@TheSeanBampton]

Mark, I have to say that you are, without a doubt, my favourite YT follow when it comes to cinematography/camera stuff. "Specs don't matter, what you're shooting matters." 100% bang on! This goes right in line with one of my other favourite quotes from you; "don't shoot to find stuff, find stuff to shoot". Keep up the great work!

[@RobWatt]

Venice and Venice2 has been getting a lot of love in the film world. My experience with it has been positive , studios love the color science of the Sony CineAlta line

[@longjohn2404]

The fact that the FX3 looked practically identical to the FX9 once you color graded and matched them up is crazy to me. This should go to show that “cheap” cameras aren’t much more different compared to the higher-end ones when you put them in the right hands. If someone wants to solve the sharpness issue, you can simply slap on a diffusion filter and you’ve got a softer look similar to the FX9. If I had the budget, I would get the FX6 just because it’s not too big and not too small and I like how “big budget” the body feels + ND filters. However, I have the FX3 and I LOVE this thing. This has an image quality way above its league and the size + features are just icing on the cake. It’s a cinematic, tiny masterpiece with really great photography capabilities that I use for professional, paid work.

[@kazlepek6552]

You may not be able to see it on youtube, but the FX9 sensor definitely produces the best image ( I shoot on the FX6) - the FX6/3 sensor is very good, but the FX6 processing looks a tad better .. that accounts for the digital sharpening happening in the 3. It’s nuanced but the difference is there, and if you can’t tell the difference after working with all three and you don’t need the ND or form factor save some money by going with the FX3

[@DeeanaJohnsonkati]

Thank You Mark for your in-depth review. I was looking at either the FX-3 or the FX-6; however, since I shoot more video than stills (I need the SDI connection), the size, ND filters, and Timecode option, makes the FX-6 the camera I will purchase in the near future.😃

Great video. Am considering an upgrade from the 6600 to either an Fx3 or an Fx6 and this is so helpful. Thanks man!

[@TechnoBabble]

Using your own LUT adds a variable to this that kinda defeats the purpose of the initial comparison. If ANYTHING, not including the initial conversion to a normal gamma curve and colour space, is being adjusted on a curve than anything that is different from the camera you designed the LUT for will then be pushed even farther away from the "baseline". The best way to compare is shooting SLog-3 in all of them and using a colour space transform in Resolve, ACES, or the official LUTs from Sony.

Hi Mark Love your films… I use the FX3 with a tentacle sync box plugged into one of the 4 audio inputs which means ingesting files through the tentacle studio software but given the size advantages over other 10bit cameras I am loving it… VariND and black 1/8th promist rounds off my setup … I mostly shoot veritè so I pretty much use the G 24-105 F4 and sometimes a 35 50 or 85 prime for setup interviews etc….

[@benellis9866]

It's becoming more evident to me that Sony positioned the FX9 as a broadcast workhorse with a bunch of features that I'll most likely never use like genlock and the ability to shoot interlaced. It's also the only of the three which can shoot s35. From the side-by-side comparisons (love those) it looks like saturation decreases left to right from the FX3 having the most to the FX9. I still think the FX9 looks the best 😊

[@TechnoBabble]

@@benellis9866 The FX6 and FX3 most certainly do have an S35 shooting mode, but only for 1080p. I'm sure what you meant to say was that the FX9 was the only one that could record 4k in S35, which is true.

[@sunnyh314]

Hey man, great video. What lenses are you shooting on to get some of these shots? And what shooting codec are you using? Mainly asking about the fx6.

[@aghudumokowa241]

The FX3 isn't the obvious choice over the A7SIII if you're a filmmaker. That's a bit lazy of you to say that. With the A7SIII, you can buy the K3M module and have the same audio as the FX3. A7SIII has a viewfinder and some Filmmakers use it. It's a great way to get stable shots as well i.e. putting the camera up to your face. FX3 has tally lights, that might be significant if you're in front of the camera. The holes in the body of the FX3 is no substitute for a cage, which gives you far more versatility. In summary, it depends on what features you value more as a filmmaker and offcourse there's price.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

Won't be getting any of these cameras more than likely anytime soon but enjoyed seeing all the comparisons! Eventually by the time I upgrade my a7iii, i'll either go with a7siii or maybe the fx3 if I see myself making more proper "cinema" films to use all the extra features.

For professional video work go all the way to the FX3 hands down!

[@scottrsmith2389]

You talked about the X3 full frame sensor acting like it was the obvious choice over the A7Siii because it is full frame. Um..the A7Sii is also full frame. It uses the very same sensor as the FX3 and FX6. The FX3 gains you a slightly more rugged housing, The A&Siii gains you an eyecup, so you can use your camera in the bright light of day, with an eyepiece. Honestly, I think that's biggest difference.

For value for money it's hard to look past... the A7Siii. It's literally the same as the FX3 plus an EVF for less than the FX3. Love Mark's reviews; even though he's a little snobby about mirrorless cameras. I'm beginning to think Sony created the FX3 just to trick him into using a mirrorless camera ;) Good work Sony; he lapped it up. (Joking aside-love Mark's work)

I think you lose a lot of information when talking about the main difference between the FX3 and the FX6 being TC. For me the biggest differences are SDI out, Vari-Auto-ND Filter and also the slightly faster Autofocus. Not to mention that you get the top handle with the audio interface out of the box. And that for only 1k more. I think that both the FX3 and the FX9 are too expensive if you want to get it in "rigged ready for shooting". The FX6 however, at least in my opinion, is almost too cheap.

[@abmstudio3678]

You can use some adapters to get timecode into fx3. I don't see too much of a reason for consumer facing filmmakers to ever consider an fx9. If you are making your own short film, there really is no need for anything more than an fx3. And if its a bigger production, why wouldn't they consider a red camera or an arri camera or even sony venice. Like a case could be made for an fx 6 but personally, I don't see any reason to get it over fx3. Like Fx3 looks to be so good that I don't feel like I need anything more until I am part of a much larger production in which case, I won't be in charge of deciding what camera we use anyway.

Use a better lut made specifically for the fx3's color rendering and I'm sure the color difference would be negligible

When you mentioned Lens stabilization with gyro meta data stabilization at 11:25 from my understanding you can’t use both. It’s one of the other. I at least know this is true on the FX9 paired with the Sony 28-135. But, I’m not sure if it’s true for the FX3 and FX6. I would assume it’s the same.

[@TechnoBabble]

That's correct. None of the cameras cause shooting with optical stabilization and also then have the gyro data used later.

[@M0LLER75]

Hi thanks for the great video. Have just found out the same results as you that FX3 squeezes more in black than FX6 with the same lut (why?). Tried to adjust the s-log 3 settings in FX3 where we adjust Black gamma to medium +4 then the curves on the two cameras look more similar. Has anyone else done such tests? And you say that FX3 and FX6 have the same sensor but I have heard that it is not true, and it’s seems strange when one lut behaves different… so what is it that is correct?

[@jupitereye4322]

FX9 has the most "natural" look in my opinion. It is more nuanced colour separation, it looks like they've worked on that colour science quite a bit. The FX3 is flashy, exaggerated, in-your-face (no pun intended), and FX6 is like an in-between. I really like FX9 and the way how smooth everything looks and very subtle tone distinctions.

Comparing colour through a LUT seems like the a very easy way of making anything you didn't make the LUT for look terrible. I'd say just add contrast and saturation and see what the differences are. Some would like the FX3 over the FX9, but this test makes that evaluation impossible. The LUT itself is also way too intense, even with the FX9, not very useful as a gage of colour.

I would kill for an fx6 body and UI with an fx9 sensor and image. I would happily forgo the awesome slow mo options on the fx6 for an A cam with the image of the FX9. I think that would be a killer one two punch to keep in your kit the fx6 and then this made up fx9 mini lol.

It can also record HDMI out to BRAW, and ProRes RAW. It cost less than $2k. No brainer for me. It is also amazing in low light. Better colour science at night (due to 12bit 444 RAW recording).

Can the FX3 sync to a timecode generator plugged into the 3.5mm connector?

Update 2023: FX3 has Timecode now.

Indeed it does!!

Still didn’t hear a good reason to choose FX3 over a7siii other than Sony smothering it’s video-centric, alpha line beast.
