Sony FX6 (ILME-FX6)

A dedicated full-frame cinema camera for pro documentary and event work: built-in variable ND, full XLR audio, FX6 ergonomics, a 12MP sensor, and DCI 4K120 in an 890g body. It's the logical step up for FX3 owner-operators who want real cinema controls. It's not for stills, and with no IBIS and a heavier body it's a poor match for gimbal-light handheld setups.
