Key Features
The FX9 is the Cinema Line shoulder camera: a 6K full-frame sensor oversampling to dense, clean 4K, electronic variable ND to follow the light without breaking the shot, SDI for monitoring, and ergonomics built for hours of continuous recording — reportage, observational documentary and events where the camera lives on the operator, not on sticks. The kit comes complete with accessories included, and our prep space is yours to fine-tune balance and configuration before day one.
The Sony FX9 pairs a 6K oversampled full-frame sensor with Fast Hybrid AF and Sony’s Eye AF, built for documentary, commercial and broadcast work that needs both cinematic depth of field and reliable autofocus on the day. Dual Base ISO and 15+ stops of dynamic range carry exposure across a wide range of lighting without forcing a compromise in the grade.
