So this video was based on having limited time, so some things I wish I fleshed out more ( especially dynamic range, and pro res raw vs raw) hopefully I’ll get it again for a part 2!

[@FlareWalk]

dope that you got to work with the venice. right now working with a cinema camera like that is just a dream. even the fx6 is outside my comfort zone. btw you missed a voice over cut at 7:37 unless you intended on repeating yourself a couple times lol.

[@KofiYeboah]

@@FlareWalk I leave mistakes all The time in videos, truthfully too lazy to change if it’s harmless 😅

[@JKZNMUSIC]

What's crazy to me is, in my head, for the longest time, I thought the more money you spent on a camera, the better the image quality you would get. I never thought about the "workflow" part of it. I still want to upgrade to an FX6 but this video just gave me a whole new perspective on it. Ive watched damn near every FX6 video out there, All of yours, Mark Bone ect... this tho, this was THE ONE

[@KofiYeboah]

Thank you man I appreciate it seriously!

[@cammackey]

Functional dynamic range. I’m stealing that. ©️KOFI

[@KofiYeboah]

Haha 😂 respects my g !

[@PNWMOTION]

Dude legit thought they were the opposite that’s crazy. Love how close they are making these cameras these days where a 6k camera is comparable to a 60k. Awesome video as always!

[@KofiYeboah]

Thanks ! And man I was surprised!

[@twesttv]

I have had my FX6 for few weeks and my FX9 for a few months. They both can produce great images and both can do things the other can't (as I'm sure the Venice can as well). Instead of workflow that you covered great, I'll turn to shooting style. For me it comes down to DISTANCE. If the subject is farther from me I want a long lens that can go on my FX9 without feeling like I'll break it in half, and I want the camera on my shoulder so the shot is steady. If I'm close to the subject and can use a gimbal that's where the fx6 comes in. I don't mind holding the FX6 like a football if I'm very close to the subject. I cover sports where I'm often not right up in the player's face so that's why I ended up with both cameras. More times than not I need to be near and far. Great job on the video Kofi.

[@KofiYeboah]

Thanks a ton!

[@MajorGeneralHavoc]

These shots are beautiful man. You just keep getting better!

[@KofiYeboah]

Thanks homie 🙏🏾

[@moocorp]

Called B shots. B ut that was out of familiarity with the image. Although for test 3 without the side by side it's tough to tell. I still love how closely the FX6 matches, at least once compressed for delivery.

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

I loved the A Cam Better on All shots

[@KofiYeboah]

Ayy🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@clivebrincat88]

NIce video however you got one term wrong - “digital cameras are not good at retaining shadow detail” Its actually the other way round - film cameras are superior in highlight retention while digital cameras are best at shadow retention. Its one of the reasons cinematography keeps getting darker and darker

[@KofiYeboah]

You’re right, I got that mixed up 🤣

[@deovid]

Could tell from first clip already that A is FX6 because the face is in focus the whole time while B lost it a bit at the end

[@MaineMountainMedia]

All great points and awesome images too! Both have great image quality and you're doing good work with both

[@KofiYeboah]

I think people will be happy with either !

[@TennisUnleashed]

More filmic motion cadence on camera B. The blacks are also deeper, looks less “video ish”. At 1:55.

[@seancloutier2577]

personally I think these cameras are getting so good it is a matter of taste. I stopped to ask myself which image looked better and it is really tough. I am a Sony guy but some of the stuff Fuji does is next level.

[@KofiYeboah]

Nah I agree!

[@FelixCervantes]

Even my FS5ii has a Venice color profile. In some situations, both probably can generate the same similar image.

[@findbradford]

even on youtube the difference is evident everything is so much cleaner in the cinialta line. i am considering finding a f-3 with rgb 444 upgrade or f-5 instead of fx6 or even fx9 just want a clean image for example look at your samples at the wall under the window fx6 looks magenta and blotchy Venice is smooth and consistent. I know customs will probably never know why there is a difference but they see a difference they just don’t know what it is i wonder is you have even an f-3 cinialta line to do the same comparison I found a Venice on eBay for 20 grand but I gotta do a lot more work to justify that and they have mega hours.

[@colin_nizer]

I preferred the B cam on all but 1 shot but I don’t think the price is worth the difference. I’m watching this on Roku on a 32” 1080 so might show difference

[@KofiYeboah]

I don’t think it’s an image quality thing but more workflow, which at that upper level IMO is more important for sure

[@adrianmack7750]

[@ronbackal]

I might be doing something wrong, I picked up the FX3 last weekend, and it seems to me that the sky is always clipped and I’m kinda disappointed (I think the sensor is same as the FX6). I was thinking I maybe should have gone with Leica camera, or maybe even invest more in Sony Burano

[@CLIFFLIX]

You are missing the whole point. Sure the FX6 can give you about the same end product. You can shoot your movie on the FX6 and lie that you used a Venice. Yes...it's true...nobody will EVER know. The point of shooting on a Venice?....is that you LOOK COOL on the set. That is the one main thing the FX6 cant give you.

@@KofiYeboah thats completely fine! I think every big "camera youtuber" has his own focus on style & content type. Sometimes I watch like 3 different KZbinrs talking about the same new product, but each one has something new to say because they have different needs from their gear. When I hear big youtubers talk about videos from each other it makes you "more human". As a viewer you are Like "he knows this guy too? Awesome." None of you seem cocky, but seeing all the expensive gear makes you kinda like "gods" for all those that are getting started. Keep it up!

Just wondering as an ex-C70 guy do you have any regrets? With all the firmware updates from Canon it's a badass camera. 2 years ago I was on the fence with C70 and FX6. Sony was a client for a design shop I worked at in NYC 20+ years ago. They were doing really cool sh*t then. WE were doing super cool design work for SONY. I just think the Canon image from the C70 is a bit better?? You can't lose here. Both are stunning. Just wondering if you have any "dang" moments.

@@scottievee7467 lol actually, you’d be surprised , and they’re from various categories 😁 Honestly no, I don’t miss the c70 at all tbh, it’s more a workflow thing for me, when I work with other shooters, they’re usually Sony, so it was a nice change for me

I do see a slight difference with the venice and fx6 coming in. Extra DR in leather jacket footy and colors of the calibrite test do have an edge. That venice flex is definitely Netflix ready! baller

There's definately more DR, but how much does one NEEED on average? I think enough that you can use both of these and be SUPER happy

[@Studio23creation]

​@@KofiYeboahexactly. Id rather loose 0,5stop of DR and have a lower weight, smaller form factor for the kind of jobs i do. Audience will be more connected to a movie wich have better cinematography (because my shooting style and budget needs small cameras) than 0,5 or 1stop of extra dr

Compare the skin tones and colors. There are huge differences. Fx6 looks like there are just 3 colors in the skin tones. Especially the girl looked extremely pale. Fx6 almost has no gradients in the skin tones compared to the Venice. Skin tones in comparison look horrible side by side. Don’t get me wrong fx6 looks great but your conclusion that it looks almost like Venice is wrong.

[@mittaw]

Recently I had a TV shoot on an Alexa35 with Atlas Anamorphics. The production company sent it to the color grader without my briefing and the client already approved the end result before I had a say in it. Mannnn, the color grader straight-up destroyed the footage, messed up the 17 stops dynamic range and skin tones were not natural. A DP's worst nightmare. You can have the best footage in the world, but it can get f*cked somewhere down the pipeline.

[@KofiYeboah]
