Pros
  • Full-frame sensor
  • Impressive autofocus system
  • Cinema RAW recording capabilities
Cons
  • Inconvenient power switch placement
  • Removal of the EVF
  • Not ideal for run-and-gun operation

The autofocus system is significantly improved compared to previous models, and it can record cinema RAW footage.

The Sony FX6 is a follow-up to the design philosophy of the FS5, with a full-frame sensor. It features a comfortable handle, bayonet mount, and a new multi-page screen interface for changing settings. The autofocus system is significantly improved compared to previous models, and it can record cinema RAW footage. However, the power switch's placement is inconvenient, and the EVF has been removed. The camera's design suggests it is meant to be used on set with a proper crew, rather than for run-and-gun operation. Overall, it is a solid cinema camera with impressive capabilities.
