So, on the indoor footage... tell the truth... is your house normally that clean, or did you spend a full day getting it "show ready?"

Ha, ha. Fortunately my wife and I are pretty tidy so no extra cleaning was required, but to be honest, the two bathrooms are for guests so they seldom get used.

I don't think the other practicals look particularly outstanding either. This is not a criticism of Doug's exposure. He has made clear previously he "let's the highlights fend for themselves," which is what makes the scenes informative. But if the highlights had been given less exposure so as not clipped, what would have remained of the low key is one question. But the scene with the lamp fixture containing several clear incandescent bulbs, it should be possible to have similar looking overall scene exposure while retaining the detail of the filament itself, without "cinematography" manipulations.

Good points, Tom. And you have summed up my exposure philosophy perfectly.
 
thanks for doing all of these tests Doug! Really, really helpful.
Do you personally see a major improvement from the FS7 when shooting in S35 mode on the FX9?

I downloaded those some time ago but I didn’t realize the s709 v200 lut that Alister created was the default s709 lut in the fx9.

Alister had tweaked the official s709 lut if I’m not mistaken. He has a set which I have used on the f55 / fs7. It’s a zip that brings multiple kits with minus green versions and also monitor versions/ grading versions of each.

Well, the FX9 is a hard camera for me to make up my mind about. On the one hand, I do like having a FF sensor on a full-blown professional camcorder with all the features and functions that I expect to have on my cameras. I love the look of the FF sensor. But on the other hand, a FF sensor eliminates a lot of my favorite lenses. Yes, the camera looks better than the FS7 but not that much better. It is an incremental improvement that might not make any difference to clients or anyone else except pixel peepers. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the FX9 is basically a FF FS7mark2. Other than the sensor size it is basically the same camera.

If you love or hate the VF on the FS7 you will feel exactly the same way about the VF on the FX9. It is not as big of an improvement as you might expect. And one thing that has been changed that I really didn't like is that the information displayed in the viewfinder isn't white anymore, it is kind of a medium gray. I assume the thinking is that it makes the icons and text less intrusive over the video, but I never felt that was problem with my FS7 and I'd change it back to white if the camera offered that option. I found the information harder to see than I'd like. On the other hand, the layout of the information displays have been rearranged in the viewfinder and I like those changes a lot. Make much more sense.

Having four external controls for audio will be a nice improvement. I didn't have any reason to use them yet myself, but it would certainly be a welcome upgrade for other shoots. I do like having four external controls on my Z280.

I very much like the new an improved menu dial that is located at the front of the camera. It is very easy to find without looking and has nice and solid feel to it. Oddly it would be too noisy when clicked to use during an interview or any other quiet shoot, but there is also a set of soft controls farther back on the body where the FS7's menu knob is located that could be used when silence was needed.

The card slots are much improved and easier to use.

The menu layout is quite different from the FS7 and I don't agree with it, but that is what the User Menu is for. In 10 minutes I made my own layout.

The lack of S&Q motion with FF 4K is disappointing but I suppose that might be added later. Maybe it has already been announced, I've not been paying attention.

Having variable ND is almost enough reason to justify upgrading my original FS7 to the FX9. I got used to it on my Z280 and FS5 and it is a real hardship to shoot with a camera that doesn't have it. Every time I pull out my FS7 or F55 I am disappointed not to have variable ND.

The dual ISO mode is interesting but I'm not sure how much I'd use it myself. I'd probably stay in the 800 mode 90% of the time. At least the 4000 ISO mode is very clean, so no real downside to using it when necessary. All of my PL lenses are f/2.0 or f/2.8 so maybe that makes a difference as to why I wouldn't really need that extra sensitivity very often. To be honest, I'm running at least a 1/4 ND in my FS7 even for indoor shooting, such as interviews. I rarely need more sensitivity. But I guess it would be a nice tool to have. If I was using f/4 lenses maybe I'd use the 4000 mode more, but fortunately I don't own those kinds of lenses. Personally, I don't see why the hell someone would buy a camera with a FF sensor and then put a f/4 lens on it. I don't get it. I tried the 28-135 lens that came with the camera for a couple shots and then put it back in the box. I've tried that lens before on the FS7 and I didn't like it any better on the FX9. Yuck. It does not provide me with the feel and look I expect from a lens.

The "venice" look out of the box might be nice for people who just want to turn on the camera and shoot, but for my money, S-Cinetone looks about the same as HG8 on the FX9 and FS7. Besides, if you really care about picture quality, you'll want to be shooting with S-LOG anyway. And even if you do want to shoot WYSIWYG with S-Cinetone I think there are still other paint menus that need to be modified to get better performance and footage that won't necessarily need grading.

Someone told me Alister was suggesting S-Cinetone should be exposed at 80%. if that is true, I strongly disagree. Your video is going to look underexposed if you follow that advice. I also heard he is saying S-LOG can now be exposed at 61% instead of pushing it to 70% - 75% as most experienced S-LOG shooters do with other Sony cameras. Once again, if it is true, I disagree with that advice. 61% might be okay, but it is just barely okay. If you miss and underexpose you'll be in the gutter in post. In my tests of exposing at different levels I see no reason not to treat the FX9 like every other S-LOG capable camera.

The lack of S-LOG2 is a big disappointment to me and I would miss not having S-LOG2. Tom and Sam mentioned some clipping that occurred with practical lights in some of my test shots. Well, a lot of that wouldn't be an issue if I could have shot S-LOG2. I was hoping (but not really expecting) S-LOG3 on the FX9 wouldn't clip at 94 IRE, but it does. That difference in clipping from 94 IRE with S-LOG3 to 109 IRE with S-LOG2 is very important for shoots where you don't have control over the lighting -- such as documentaries, nature, wildlife, etc.

The new limitation that you cannot pick and choose which individual outputs will have a MLUT applied is a huge step backwards!! HUGE. I don't like that at all. I never want to have a MLUT in my viewfinder, ever. But I often want to spit out a MLUT to my field monitor for clients and crew. That combination is impossible now. Also, each MLUT onboard the camera will affect the VF zebras differently, so now setting exposure just got a lot trickier. If I need to send a MLUT to an external monitor, then I have to adapt how I read the zebras in my VF. And I also have to know which one of the MLUTs is being used because they will all affect zebras differently. This could be a big hassle and a potential trouble point for renters and less experienced operators.

To make things worse, the Gamma Display Assist can be active even when an MLUT is being used. That is going to trip up a lot of people, too.

I'm sure the improved AF would be a great boon when shooting faces when there is a lot of random movement, but I rarely find myself in those situations and I don't really care to use/buy AF lenses. I like all my cine PL lenses too much (RED, Cine-Xenar, Duclos, Sony etc.) I found the default focus settings to be both sluggish and heavy-handed. I'm sure that could be remedied using the vast number of AF menus (just as I did with my Z280), but I didn't care to waste my time with it right now. Face Detect AF is fantastic on my Z280 so I expect it would be just as good on the FX9 if one chose the right lens.

The number one feature on the camera that I appreciated the most was . . . . Last Clip Delete. No one ever talks about that, but I love that feature and I've been lobbying for Sony to bring it back for a few years. We had it on the EX1, EX3, etc. and now we are getting it back again on the latest cameras. I love it. I use it all the time when shooting with talent who blow their lines, wildlife shots that went nowhere, shots that got bobbled, etc. Being able to instantly delete takes from the memory card with two button clicks is invaluable and can cut down my media usage by 50% or more. It is like doing a rough cut in the field. Less footage to ingest, backup, and wade through in post. The greatest underappreciated feature on Sony's cameras, next to custom clip naming.

Believe it or not, Last Clip Delete, the FF sensor, and variable ND might be all the justification I need to upgrade from my FS7. The improved picture quality, better VF, better audio controls, would just be a bonus. I could see the FX9 replacing both my FS7 and F55. But the F55 can do 120 fps 4K RAW, so that is probably reason enough to keep it longer. Decisions. Decisions.

Well, those are my thoughts on the camera off the top of my head. I hope it helps.

^ Great review Doug - and as already said by others - very much appreciate you taking the time to post.
Thankfully, I've been swamped with work since the FX9 was announced - so I've only vaguely followed the hoopla... and I've been wondering how much of a real improvement it would be ...this post above tells me more than anything else I've read or seen to date. :thumbsup:

THANK YOU so much for taking the time to write that detailed review. Very interesting
 
DG 'Well, the FX9 is a hard camera for me to make up my mind about'

Well thus far you have not mentioned the only feature that is a critical upgrade.

Does the AF work in a manner that can be trusted?

To some extent the other features dont need testing - simple physics says doubling the sensor size will render a better image (cleaner and less noise as your candle shots show) - its simple physics - it will 'catch more photons'

But the real question is is the AF not only work but is presented through a UI that makes it usable to a pro.
It must lock and have a changeable, with the eye in the EVF, focus area, it must feel intuitive.

You have, with other cams, demonstrated you are good at MF - various birds and the like - but AF is to me the one.
AF has so many uses - but basically tight walk/run towards shooting and itchy interviewees.

The nikon $2k z6 delivers 120p with AF the $10k sony does not - its a bit emarrassing for sony.

One more vote of Thanks Doug. You put a lot of time into this that you didn't need to just for yourself. Much appreciated.

Good writing on your feelings about the FX9 Doug. It's close to how I look upon it. I guess the problem is the FS7 is so good and the FX9 so similar to it in many aspects that upgrading is not a sure thing.
 
I also find it interesting to hear about Cinetone and how similar it is to custom HG8. Just as I have found out on my FS5 it's possible to set up a baked custom profile that looks really good and is easy for clients to handle.

Ive had hands on the fx9 a couple of times ,and the AF was one of my main interests .. its pretty good and there are 7 settings each for speed and sensitivity ..one is "lock on" you "register" the face that has the box and a yellow line underneath but pressing the joy stick on the handle grip .. or the menu dial mid way back ion the camera body..and you will see two white boxes around that face .. it will stay on that face till you change it to another... on a tripod its sort of hard to do with that switch mid body.. pressing the up/down /right /left to move to another face .. on the handle grip its pretty easy and I think with practice would be very quick.. but not on a tripod.. its awkward to reach back with your left hand for that dial.. there is also face priory ,and face Only.. so it will only AF on face.. nothing else.. face leaves frame if wont go to the background.. also there is focus assist .. so in manual focus ,with focus assist on.. you focus manually but AF will "check" what is most in focus and tweak it if needed .. this could be the best feature for doc work.. end of the day if your hand handle and changing the focus all over the place its just easier to do it by hand .. and your brain is going to be better than AF.. it depends on your work.. I do alot of interviews and I think the target buyer is that market..doc,corps.. FF with 85/55 f1.8 Sony stills AF lens, S Cinetone.. will look great for a cheap price and very light weight set up.. it looks better than an F55 with a T2.8 PL $25,0000 cine lens ,in my opinion or at least as good..alot of corps are not requestioned Slog..the Cinetone does look alot nicer.. and the AF will work really well. in this situation . you still need to operate and frame the thing and check its not going pear shaped .. but Ive left totally unmanned A7III 85mm f1.8 as B camera and face detect /Zone has never failed me.. it will just be a nice thing to have in your back pocket for very tricky focus shots that pop ups sometimes..and interviews .. but I dont think anyone will be just using it all the time.. its a tool .. people look down or turn around and you lose it.. then you have to know your zone, expandable spot .. wide options .. but interviews it will work bang on for sure.. cars zooming towards you .. totally kill focus.. roaming around an Indian wedding party ..surrounded by faces and foreground loveliness .. I wouldn't use it.. the machine cant know when you want the focus to be right on the edge of the frame.. and when to pull focus .. catch a smile and focus back to some else .. it can but you have to set it all up.. totally depends on your work.. but I would guess the target buyers are shooting alot on interviews and it will work in that situation 100%..

It's hard to read that, you lost me after first two lines.
 
I've made Donny 123 text understandable but he really has to learn how to write:

Ive had hands on the fx9 a couple of times and the AF was one of my main interests. Its pretty good and there are 7 settings each for speed and sensitivity.

One is "lock on" you "register" the face that has the box and a yellow line underneath but pressing the joy stick on the handle grip or the menu dial mid way back ion the camera body and you will see two white boxes around that face. It will stay on that face till you change it to another.

On a tripod its sort of hard to do with that switch mid body pressing the up/down /right /left to move to another face. On the handle grip its pretty easy and I think with practice would be very quick, but not on a tripod. Its awkward to reach back with your left hand for that dial.

There is also face priory and face only so it will only AF on face, nothing else. Face leaves frame if wont go to the background.

Also there is focus assist. So in manual focus,with focus assist on, you focus manually but AF will "check" what is most in focus and tweak it if needed. This could be the best feature for doc work. End of the day if your hand handle and changing the focus all over the place its just easier to do it by hand and your brain is going to be better than AF.

It depends on your work. I do a lot of interviews and I think the target buyer is that market, doc, corp.

FF with 85/55 f1.8 Sony stills AF lens, S Cinetone will look great for a cheap price and very light weight set up. It looks better than an F55 with a T2.8 PL $25,0000 cine lens in my opinion or at least as good. A lot of corp are not requestioned Slog, Cinetone does look a lot nicer and tAF will work really well. In this situation you still need to operate and frame the thing and check its not going pear shaped. But I´ve left totally unmanned A7III 85mm f1.8 as B camera and face detect/Zone and it has never failed me.

It will just be a nice thing to have in your back pocket for very tricky focus shots that pop ups sometimes and interviews. But I don´t think anyone will be just using it all the time. Its a tool.

People look down or turn around and you lose it, then you have to know your zone, expandable spot, wide options, but interviews it will work bang on for sure. Cars zooming towards you totally kill focus. Roaming around an Indian wedding party surrounded by faces and foreground loveliness then I wouldn't use it.

The machine can´t know when you want the focus to be right on the edge of the frame and when to pull focus catch a smile and focus back to some else. It can but you have to set it all up, totally depends on your work. I would guess the target buyers are shooting a lot on interviews and it will work in that situation 100%

I found it the first camera I´ve checked out since buying my F5 that I thought, ok this is worth changing too and on top of that it s so damn cheap! Which also means it will become the next big thing and every production company and their pony will insist on FF "Venice look".

The loupe is rubbish hopefully the Z finder FS7 model works on the FX9 and 35W is bit power hunger for FS7 owners. Not that much more than F5 and why 19V? Need new V mount plates.

In Mel Brooks's "History of the World", there was a character, who'd pause in mid-sentence and then say, "Dot, dot, dot". That's because Mel was aggrieved that too many screenplays featured dialog with "dots", thereby breaking the established rules of allowing actors to deliver their lines the way they see fit. But this is not a screenplay, so I don't see why people are having a fuss. That said, complete sentences are easier to follow.
