[@geraldundone]

The nerve! This guy calls me up then hangs up on me. 1/10 - would not explain colours again. 🤣🤓💜

[@TheEmbassy33]

And I was proper curious in your answer :D

[@itsprestonchen]

dudes bouta drop a whole 5 hour film about the FX6

[@Jamesmatthews]

Hahahaha bro, I'm sorry my brain just couldn't handle it

[@LuisGomes.]

best collaboration hahaha nice one!

[@alex_foster]

Lol, yes you will...you love explaining stuff, and we love it when you do!

[@Jamesmatthews]

What do you guys think?? Whats your Favourite feature on the Fx6? Oh yeah, did anyone spot a @Geraldundone in the video 👀

[@JSHFilms]

I think I’ll be seeing my bank account drop a bit but gonna love this camera

[@MotherDaughterDate]

Love the second ISO for low light. That is enough to buy one.

[@DavidMota]

Incoming “ Bosh Button “ on the A7 IV 😂 you should’ve patented that one James 😎

[@unclejezza]

‘Bosh’ belongs to England

[@Jamesmatthews]

Anyone else still confused at what Gerlad Undone was going on about at 7:30 ???? 🤣

[@desmondmacnamara6068]

My first thought was it was gonna be Gerald

[@desmondmacnamara6068]

Also love the “he’s crazy” reference

[@vitaminq4348]

Yeah like, mate. Your bit's done.

[@LifeFilmsWA]

So funny James. Love your work man. P.S. I am waiting for you to update your Spotify play list mate, I often play your tunes...NICE ONE BRUVA!!!

[@dodmedia]

That interaction with Gerald literally had me laughing out loud 😂😂

[@Jamesmatthews]

Hahahaha hes crazy mate

[@jaredzitting7753]

Does the camera have a record limit?

[@LawrenceArnell]

This is a perfect example of how I feel watching a Gerald Undone video. I never thought anybody would be able to visualize this for me. Great job 🤣🤣🤣

[@stasz4375]

Gotta love the “The Bosh Button”

[@Jamesmatthews]

Hahahhaa Legit

[@DanielTitchener]

"... He's crazy" 🤣 - I could smell a Gerald feature as soon as you said "the usual suspects" 😆 ... Loved the vid man! 🙌🏼

[@Jamesmatthews]

Hahaha, I can’t contend with these guys when it comes to the technicals. Wizards

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

lol Same!

[@TimeCodeMechanics]

I know right.

[@krisco]

Gerald Undone scene - 100% what I feel like when I watch his videos LMAO.

[@JohnJonesRocketCity]

I swear this footage looks like a freaking movie. 🚀🚀🚀

[@educatetube]

Fx6 is definitely a dream video camera for me coming from FS700 (got two and still an amazing video camera, by the way). That is why I hold off on the Sony a7s3 as I already have Sony a6100, GH4, and XT3 for KZbin videos. Sony a7r3 is my ultimate photography camera and I only used it if I want to photograph the best of the best images, while Nikon d7000 is my hobby photography camera. FX6 would complete my collection of amazing cameras for the next 10 years. When I buy cameras it will last me for at least 10 years. That is why I still have my FS700r, a5000, a5100, GH4, and XT3 cameras.

[@kamikaze1213]

Excellent comment! I’m in the same boat, I shoot with an FS700R and it’s an absolutely fantastic 4K with a Shogun, but I REALLY want to upgrade to this camera simply because as much as I love my FS700R, and will keep it, it’s as heavy as a tank rigged up, maybe I’m just getting old lol

[@ColbyBrickwell]

“I don’t usually go into the nerdy techy stuff, I usually leave that to the usual suspects”.... and this is why I enjoy watching your videos it’s just straight to the point 😂😎🔥

[@innomind]

That rendezvous with the color tech guy was epic, especially when you were hanging up the phone!

[@abehjhakibuuka71]

Ok, that part with Gerald Undone was brilliant. And Auto ND looks useful.

[@EastEndEnquirer]

Refreshing to see this approach with a complete lack of BS and all information. Thanks James.

[@thisiseric]

Gerald is everywhere. He's like the friend that everyone wants to have but no one wants to hang out with.

[@JosephGarcia]

Dude these cameos are just life.

[@themichaelgraeme]

Absolutely loved your skits with Gerald! Great video thank you!

[@RotoUK]

I know you said you were busy working on things lately but damn, your short was ON FIRE! Literally... Be great to collaborate in the future but I think you are going to be getting busier and busier James! Love watching your stuff mate. Feast for the eyes :-D, Cheers Matt from Roto

[@TMD_Produktion]

One of the best visual storytellers! 🙌

[@itsprestonchen]

I skipped all the other FX6 reviews and I'm just watching James videos because its way better

[@Jamesmatthews]

Hahaha very kind of you mate!!

[@GDoggProductions]

Loving the Gerald undone scene 😂😂😂 very well put together 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@paulbeckmann]

Birilliant work! L,oved the short! New maestro behind the camera!

[@TomLally]

Ah yes yes my man! Bloody beautiful. What a super duper project to have done. Amazing. Peace and love ❤🌍

[@judescott8595]

the video out of that fx6 is so good.

[@JoshBenBernales]

Definitely bummed about the XLR ports being on the handle, however I’m still pre ordering.

[@13StopsPocketFilms]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 that check in with Gerald was genius. Literally laughed out loud. Well done. Great review.

[@TexpatOTG]

Sony FX6 Best Features - AF and Auto ND ---- Worst Feature - the lack of in body audio and that obnoxious top handle ... hopefully someone will make an audio adapter that fits the handle socket and hugs the body ... Nice review from someone who actually uses the camera. Thanks a lot. (GU call was a riot)

[@williamalexanderr]

The Gerald undon part killed me 😂😂 freaking wizard !

[@OI-wm2tv]

We want a video how you grade your film with the fx6!!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Damn man this camera is fire

[@kolecava]

Weren't expected good old Gerald to pop up! So tempted to get this and retire my P4K 😍

[@MattJackson_YouTube]

THANK YOU for the short film and the great review. By far the best use case video so far. Subscribed.

[@dailypage]

“I wanna try keeping my video like ... under two hours long if that’s alright” - “Gerald Undone everyone” lol 🤣

[@LiquidLensPhotography]

💣🤣😭😭😭😭😭

[@nonsapvisuals]

10:03 tells me this camera's capabilities for grading is insanely good. awesome stuff!

[@jaegermah]

I like your practical approach mate. Thanks for keeping us 'corporate interview videographers' in mind. The corporate shoots might be boring and slightly soul killing, but they pay the bills and allow me to buy new gear like this.

[@benfergusonishere]

Brilliant video James! Entertaining and informative! Loved the Gerald Undone feature!🤣😂

[@9StudioProductions]

I want one NOW!!! Especially for my films

[@bardomeister]

Crazy video for a crazy camera, love it! Especially the bit with Gerald 😂😂 Sky on fire is amazing btw 🙏

[@markusranalter]

haha the bosh button! I was 100% sure that you shot the short film on the sony 7siii, had absolutely no idea that they are going to drop another beast! 🔥

[@EmanuelKolb]

Ajjjjeeee maaateeee🤯🥵 been waiting to see two of my favorite collaborating in an epic video🤯🥵😍

[@dakotashults7088]

It’s good to have you back! Can’t be leaving us for so long man! Haha

[@Yes2LifeShow]

Crazy how the music in the clip this time completely changes the mood compared to the shots in the full short film 😁 That part with Gerald was epic 😂

[@elliotthawks7559]

Sky on fire looked beautiful. Great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@rubenparthoensfilms]

Why is the positioning of the sensor and the lens mount quite high up on the body? How will this affect the use of rods & the matte box?

[@thegardeninvestments]

The bosh button... hahaha amazing. Great Review!

[@alex_foster]

That was the best cameo in a you tube video I have ever seen 🤣

[@Flixoto]

😂 I feel the same way when Gerald goes nuts on the specs. But Gerald is the man tho! 🙌🙌🙌

[@piratapro_4kFPV]

Ha!! This is so Sick 🔥 always with the great story coordination J !! The best in the business on gear reviews hands down thx man.! Props to Grerald for the upcoming video on this .!

[@TeipelFilms]

06:49 you can look at the footage already slowed down on the camera display? That is awesome!

[@andyoncam1]

Excellent overview and your Madeira footage has a definite Terrance Mallik 'Thin Red Line' vibe to it, which isnt a bad thing in my book. Going to look at the finished film now.

[@zero2espect]

I thumbed up this video just because of the the Gerald Undone section (but would thumbs up it for the video by itself). Great video matey. +1 Sub

[@koleparrott8820]

“Leave it to the usually suspects” haha 😂😂😂

[@Jamesmatthews]

They know who they are

[@koleparrott8820]

@@Jamesmatthews without a doubt

[@LoverOfTech]

Nah that Gerald Undone Plug is sending me😅😂😂😂😂 quality mate

[@nickrstic]

I want that BOSH button on my RED too :(

[@eduardogonzalez4243]

Excellent review. Wow this really has almost all the features of the FX9. I’m really looking for an upgrade, this one is a lot better on the wallet (still hurts) but wow how incredible for this price. 2013 we paid this for a c100 mark 1. Now look what this same money will buy in 2020. Bravo Sony. I’m liking the C70 also but these days I’m needing SDI more and more. A shame about no XLRs on the body. Not the end of the world. Fun to watch and see the cameo from Gerald.

[@grahamkirk5110]

Mint. Looks an incredible tool man.Feels like the perfect upgrade to the FS5 - I'm buzzing!

[@Jamesmatthews]

Almost perfect😬 need that on body audio in! Amazing camera though

[@TravelTourTaste]

Hey bro hope you are well. Sorry we haven't been able to visit you for a while we were in Bulgaria then Malta were we got stuck due to Covid and flights we're cancelled. But great to catch up with you again. We have seen a few on this cine cam now and i must say it does look awesome though. Great review my friend. Stay safe and catch up again real soon God bless.

[@TylerHemmings]

Hahahahah that Gerald Undone segment was perfect hahaha

[@AlifBurger]

Bro.. the colours. I'm just speechless.

[@jackbisson9226]

That footage looks better than any A7S III footage I have seen to date on youtube. Awesome!

[@dag221]

All the ND features are brilliant. Of all the new cameras coming out I want this one first among the purely video cameras. The A7Siii might be a close second....or first...oh hell I don't know. Camera release overload!

[@Fodaydontplay]

I really want it... I need to get the money... it looks amazing

[@jamesdelin4097]

I love how far your channel has come bro. Frikkin’ Undone collab our of nowhere. Nice. Great film too by the way, but you know that.

[@cjwomack]

Auto ND is crazy!!!

[@godswillnesa8691]

Waiting on - Color grade and chill.. for the short film.

[@darrenzane1961]

The mini cinema camera selection we have now is awesome! This looks like a bad boy camera. Let me know when you need me to pull focus Jamo!

[@Jamesmatthews]

Yeah man we really are spoilt for choice

[@ph33lix]

Hahahahah love that WinXP error sound at 8:57. 👌

[@ttracemusic]

Lol on the color talk! Great vid!

[@KYLERHOLLAND]

Y'all are too much! :D

[@FRANKDEASYMILLZ319]

my dream camera

[@Rocket510]

The scene with Gerald Undone was funny af 😂👌🏾 Nice review tho. ✌🏾🚀

[@Sam-bd7gp]

Sony making it damn hard to not switch over 😳

[@fabandell]

Love that auto ND. Seems like a game changer

[@fremekwame]

As always... You make it easy to See what a capable hand can achieve with these beasts in the real world. I love it (Coming from watching the short film - Sky on Fire)

[@Jamesmatthews]

Thanks so much Osei!! Really appreciate that my dude!

[@fremekwame]

@@Jamesmatthews That Gerald Undone cameo went over my head too. Lol... Under 2 hours long is what we want

[@speliotis]

would you please talk about the lenses that you used & that are available for the Fx6. thank you

[@JairusPoppProductions]

Was wanting to move to a cinema camera - this might be what takes me there! Thanks for the more basic and straightforward review. Headed over to GU for the next few hours haha.

[@DRACOFURY]

*9:44** Holyyyy* *That's A 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Shot*

[@maxmotions4912]

"The bosh button" love it haha

[@marekmucha2300]

Haha, Boshhh video & Boshh Film, what can I say, loved it once again! You're Boshin the game! 😆

[@MarylandDroneMedia]

Looks amazing.

[@stillsandvideo]

James, a great review, and loved the fact that you tied it in with the fabulous short film that you shot. The best review I've seen on the Sony F6 thus far. Just curious as to what was the goto lens (or two or three) that you would recommend for the FX6?

[@Jamesmatthews]

16-35 for sure! 85mm 1.8 looks great too

[@SethsProject]

Fuck what a masterpiece of a camera. Also your short film had me saying, "THAT LOOKS SO GOOD!!" about 16 times lol.

[@chinitovenezolano]

would you have a video with the breakdown on how it was using it on the crane 2s and the lenses ? :D thank you!

[@TimeCodeMechanics]

I love that everyone calls Gerald.😆😆😆

[@AdamBrazier]

Wonderful stuff! Been looking forward to this!

[@Jamesmatthews]

Thanks Adam!!

[@michaelgribbins1187]

I think I need to start saving some dough for this ⚡️

[@michaelnimchan7570]

What would you say are the 3 best native lens for this camera

[@JordanSteckar]

Gerald Undone is the one everyone refers to but no one understands... 😂 But hell yeah for sure everyone needs his help to set properly his settlings.

[@TaboV2]

8:45 Tripped out at this point. High af right now

[@pascaldeshayes5459]

God stuff, thanks! I'd be curious to see FX6+vintage lenses (Canon FD, Contax Zeiss, etc.).

[@MotherDaughterDate]

We love Sony can't wait to give it a try, great review

[@christiepatel2532]

amazing job James!!

[@LivingLife972]

question, so it looks like right now the FX6 is about $6,000. can you tell me about the estimate cost of the other needed gear - mics, mounts, lenses that one would need to buy in addition to operate this camera? not the extra things, but just the other things that is necessary. would it be an additional $3K - $5K? Thanks

[@kidcosan]

This is my perfect cinema camera!

[@gerthenriksen8818]

Great info and review! What is the main camera body made of? Hopefully magnesium alloy and not plastic.(some plastic parts, okay)

[@vilasgholse4660]

If use 18-105 lens of crop APSC will the megapixel will less as have lens of Sony powerzoom for my fs5

[@GilbertTV]

WOW... I want one

[@PeterKae]

A little bit to big for my purposes (leather couch shootings) but really interesting spects! Consider it for the future if I change the niche.

[@angela-and-frank5771]

nice survey, helpful
