Sony New Cinema Camera

Great Cinema Camera.

best cinema camera

New to cinema lenses, but so far I'm very impressed with the quality of this lens. The lens itself is a bit on the heavy side to what I'm used to, but very satisfied with the images produced. Using it with BMPCC 4k.

I use this to work with my Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema 4K camera and Sony F series Battery Holder from Smallrig, it works well!

Bought this for the new Sony FX6 Cinema Camera. Works as advertised. No complaints. Lexar has always been a reliable media for us in all our cameras.

I recently moved from the Panasonic GH5 and Black magic pocket cinema and the Sony as7iii is by FAR my favorite camera. The autofocus is definitely one of my favorite things about the camera as well as the color profile. Really allows me to get that cinematic look.

I waited about two and a half years to purchase a cinema camera, and finally settled on the FX6 earlier this year, which I've owned for a couple weeks now, after waiting for it on backorder for months. My greatest apprehension with Sony cameras in the past has been their notoriously awkward color science. But their new cinema line of cameras now seems to render this apprehension obsolete. The colors produced by the FX6 and its siblings are at long last beautiful, tastefully subtle, with natural, pleasing skin tones. The specs of the FX6 check nearly every one of my needs, from its full frame 4K sensor, to internal ND (now variable), to 4K 120fps, to 10 bit 422, to SDI output, on board TC input, to its fully modular gimbal-friendly body design, there is really no other camera better suited for my variety of work. There are of course minor pet peeves, such as Sony's famously poorly organized menu system, and the fact that we can not attach an XLR audio input into the camera without the proprietary top handle attached, the noisiness of activating the variable ND, etc. However, these are very minor issues compared to what the camera has to offer, and there is after all no perfect camera. You will naturally learn the menu system, and these pet peeves can be adapted to. The strengths of this camera vastly overshadow its drawbacks. If I could give it any rating I'd give it a 4.7 out of 5 stars. But for the purposes of this review, I'm rounding up. It's a keeper.

Honestly, When I first started (2004) I wasn't a Sony fan. Then Canon took the cake and inadvertently took digital filmmaking by accident with the 5D. And they held that candle for quite some time with their many iterations of the cinema line. Listen, I've had them all. Canon 5D, Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 7D, Canon C100, Canon C300, Canon C200, Red Epic Dragon, Sony FS700, Sony A7S, Sony a7Sii, Panasonic GH2, Panasonic GH3 (one of my favorites), Sony FS7, and the money pit continues on! The Sony A7Siii bridges the gap to enable you to meet most cinema quality standards, stay compact, great autofocus, amazing dynamic range, good battery life for the size, Amazing EVF (don't get it on the FX3) Great image stabilization, It's literally the most perfect camera I've ever laid my hands on. BTW, We're no slouches over here. We've delivered high-end Nationwide broadcast spots with that camera and a sigma lens. Just saying. It's the first camera that frees up creativity if you know what you're doing. Instead of having multiple hands to run a single camera. This camera will be hard to beat for years to come IMO. Well, the A1 is pretty sweet but a little overkill (and can overheat).

Shot a wedding with my New Sony Camera and having the extra batteries really saved me! Loving my new Sony set up from B&H! Can always count on them to deliver!

New camera out of the box into this to keep it like new. Love it so far.
