Sony Burano Thoughts from a Sony FX6 Owner

In this video I share my thoughts, as a Sony FX6 owner, on the Sony Burano by reading the Press Release from Sony Asia Pacific.
We cover all the main features and talk about whether I may purchase it or not.

IBIS 🥳 . Thank you for these first thoughts on this Cam. Hope to see you with a Burano soon for a next video.

[@YourStoryStudios]

Thanks for watching! Next video will be about the Sony FX6 😉👍

[@castielvargastv7931]

This camera is for high level productions. Wedding guys and middle of the road creators with not the highest quality demands will stay happy with a fx6.

[@YourStoryStudios]

It's a great camera for high level productions! I couldn't imagine wedding videographers investing into multiple Burano's unless they are on the super high end wedding production. I still love my FX6 and am excited to see what a version 2 will look like down the road.

@@YourStoryStudios ja burano is a dream but its too expensive for normal productions, i still want one tough😅

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@castielvargastv7931 I can relate!

[@timdanyo898]

I hardly ever shoot 120fps so the crop is not a big deal. This is a doc/wildlife cinema camera beast.

[@YourStoryStudios]

I hardly shoot 120fps either. This camera does look great for doc/wildlife! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@NikHem343]

Great video, thanks!

[@YourStoryStudios]

Thanks for watching!

[@benugdsen75]

Sometimes it’s just tiring to see all the pixel peeping on YT.. We have more camera choices than ever but people still find small things to complain about. 😂

[@YourStoryStudios]

There's always something to complain about. Thanks for watching!

[@Mattithias]

I would love a Burano but I think I'll wait. I can take a $10K hit on a new FX9 or FX6 ii....but man $25K whew! it is sexy

[@YourStoryStudios]

Yes, I might have to wait as well!

[@dsdddsd4543we]

I still feel like the FX6 would be a better documentary camera with the 800/12,800 dual base iso. Sony's main selling point to me is the 8.6K recording and RAW.

[@YourStoryStudios]

Yes, I think you're right. I don't need RAW for any of my current projects. XAVC-I 10-bit 4K is all that's required. But having VND and IBIS would be a welcome addition.

[@1MarcVD]

​@@YourStoryStudiosif you really want the combination of VND and stabilisation you can always use Catalyst software for the FX6. That goes together with a crop factor. But I guess it would be the same for the IBIS/electronic stabilisation of the Burano.

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@1MarcVD using Catalyst is an extra step I don't want to do. I'd rather pay the Burano price!

[@Mattithias]

Yes big question is why can't the Burano have the 12,800 Level? Is it the sensor ?

[@patmakiri3590]

The Burano is an absolute beast & It’s the dream camera for run & gun single shooters. The Burano has all the bells & whistles that the fx6 & fx9 users hoped for. . The Fx6 is cheap & looks & feels like a toy but you get what you pay for & no more. I own fx9 & A7s111 & often use the fx6 on shoots and when comparing the cameras the fx9 is by far a superior camera with beautiful images. The fx9’s sensor with dual iso is amazing in every way & it shoots beautiful images in low light with absolutely no noise. The current price of Burano is two & a half times the price of the fx9. I would love to own this Burano but for the price I don’t think so.

[@YourStoryStudios]

It's interesting you say the FX6 feels like a toy. I've heard that a couple of times, but I have mine all rigged out and it doesn't feel like a toy. I guess everyone has different expectations! The price of the Burano might place it out of reach for my needs, but I'm excited to see it's tech trickle down into an FX6 II.

[@dm.b7560]

BEAST

[@dreamremoved8886]

i'm only a min in so i'm sure you'll address this but it seems like a stunning camera, can't wait til they're at a price i can afford... at least now i know we'll be getting NDs and IBIS in that form factor, could bode well for the FX6ii or w/e succeeds the FX6... i do wonder what they're gonna do re the Cine line and the A7S

[@YourStoryStudios]

I think with Sony, if you have patience, they will trickle down all these high end features to the lower tier cameras. We've seen that with the recent A7C2 and A7CR. Affordable is relative though 😉 Thanks for watching!

[@cvandersluys]

The cardboard transition 😂

[@YourStoryStudios]

IKR

[@MuonVideo]

Did I read this right, that the $25K Burano camera is capable of 4K 120P at Super-35? The FX6 can do UHD 4K 120P Full Frame. That's kinda nuts, haha.

[@1MarcVD]

In your current situation I would go for the van and wait for the FX6II.

[@YourStoryStudios]

I'm moving house this month and am going to have a dedicated studio area, so I might end up spending a bit of money fitting that out now! We'll see if business is booming and allows me to get a Burano too ;)

[@crystalballoonstudio]

Questions: Can the SmallHD monitor's camera control function be used on Sony Burano? And how many chances Burano will be added X-OCN ST or X-OCN XT image modes in the future firmware upgrade? Thank you!

[@YourStoryStudios]

I'm not sure sorry!

[@crystalballoonstudio]

@@YourStoryStudios No problem. You are good!

[@marcoaslan]

The music in the background is distracting, personally.

[@YourStoryStudios]

Thanks for the feedback. I've only started adding music again to these videos. I like it. But always happy to hear feedback. Thanks for watching!

[@fofopho]

That 4k 120 is going to look amazing with a super 35 crop. Still going to be down sampled due to the resolution of the cropped portion of the sensor. It would be kind of insane in 2023 to down sample 8.6k to 4K 120 IMO. I’d much rather have the S35 crop and a beautiful image, than full frame but line skipping and pixel binning resulting in softer, noisier footage.

[@YourStoryStudios]

It'll be interesting to see what the footage looks like when the camera makes it's way into the wild!

[@finch-island]

The Super35 crop mode is a 1:1 readout as I understand it. 17 x 9 mm sensor real estate. So it's "cropped down" from Super35 (which in itself is a crop of the fullframe sensor). Therefore no downsampling when shooting more than 60p...

[@theimperfectadviser]

I never need more than 60p. After over 20 years owning Sony cameras, a series of circumstances brought me to Panasonic (GH5, S1H and Varicam LT), mostly for a decision (bad or good!) I made to purchase the Fuji XK6x20 Cabrio Pl zoom lens over 2 years ago. Very new with the old Varicam LT but loving it. A bit noisy at 5000 but with possible workarounds. What is an acceptable noise level to you? Most people don’t shoot of people holding one candle in a cave, but interested in knowing your opinion on this (I use the LT with my ERGORIG of course….too heavy otherwise). Thanks

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@theimperfectadviser noise levels are always subjective. Some people want absolutely no noise, other people may think it adds character (as long as it looks more grainy and not digital). Thanks for watching!

[@slurp3194]

@@YourStoryStudiosu can always add noise and character post.

[@johndoe-rd3hq]

Still has the SONY ©CYAN™ present either in the specular highlight rolloff skin tones or the neutral midtone and or highlights exhibited in said demos. Rather buy a used ARRI.

[@aray_ok]

$25k for a hyped Fx9.2…hard pass

[@YourStoryStudios]

Might be a wise decision ;)

[@CinematographyLischka]

jesus christ i hope the burano doesnt feel like a toy like the fx6

[@YourStoryStudios]

I'm guessing it will feel quite solid.

[@alliburgueno]

It's heafty actually - no plastic.

[@1MarcVD]

Like they say an FX6 for run and gun. If you have to run with it all day long it better doesn't weigh too much... I think a lot of filmmakers are more than happy with the lightfootedness of the FX6.
