The Sony FX9 has become the industry standard for documentary production, superceding its predecessor the FS7(ii) and providing videographers and filmmakers alike with crystal clear, razor sharp imagery in a wide variety of filming situations. Join Mike in the CereProds studio as he discusses the features of the unit and the potential upgrades in the rumored FX9ii.
The Sony FS7II and FX9 both feature Super 35mm-sized sensors, a common size used in the film and broadcast industry. The difference lies in their resolutions. The FS7II has a 4K output resolution, while the FX9 boasts a 6K full-frame sensor that can scale to 4K.
The film industry workhorse FS7ii has been given a major overhaul by the boffins at Sony, introducing the new mainstay for cookie-cutter production needs: the FX9.
