I have owned Sight & Sound Services since 1991, starting with S-VHS gear because there was no way to afford BetaCam. Boy has technology changed! I am also a career firefighter/paramedic and as I approach retirement from that I am ramping up my video production skills and connections so I can work on higher end, more involved projects when my time is less restricted. I also am FAA107 licensed as a commercial drone pilot and I fly a DJI Inspire 2 among other drones. I purchased a Sony FX9 for my own use and to have available as a rental unit just before COVID hit hard. Needless to say my rental plans did not go as expected. It's an amazing camera and I enjoy using it on my projects that are usually no-crew run and gun short form documentary pieces.

OWNER NOTES

The PXW-FX9 features a full-frame, oversampled 6K Exmor R CMOS sensor that allows you to capture 4K images with cinematic depth of field. The camera's E-mount is machined from stainless steel and allows you to use E-mount lenses.

The PXW-FX9 input and output features include 12G/6G-SDI and HDMI outputs for 4K video, a 3G-SDI output for HD, and genlock and timecode when using a multicamera setup. The Fast Hybrid AF autofocus system allows for accurate focus and even allows facial detection to automatically detect human form with 561 points of detection. Advanced image stabilization is achieved using the PXW-FX9's internal gyroscope for shots so smooth it'll look like you used a gimbal. Its 4-channel audio recording allows you to use external microphones and record ambient sound with the internal mics simultaneously.

The camera features a 15-stop dynamic range, supports dynamic HDR, hybrid log gamma mode (HLG), and records 10-bit 4:2:2 to dual XQD media card slots that support simultaneous and relay recording, as well as multiple backup recording modes that utilize proxy files. The camera can record UHD (3840 x 2160) and HD (1920 x 1080) internally at a selectable frame rate from 1 fps up to 60 fps in XAVC-I, XAVC-Long, and MPEG HD formats. Its 7-stop electronic variable ND filter can perform in auto or manual mode, smoothly adjusting from 1/4 to 1/128 density. The camera's default S-Cinetone color look offers the same soft, vivid tone as with Sony's VENICE camera.
