Review of the Sony PXW-FX9

“The Movie”? Well, it is almost two hours long! Which is over double the length of my previous longest review! Does it justify such a crazy length? Well, you can be the judge of that. I think so. I cover a huge amount of stuff and lots of it in real detail.

It also acts as a tutorial at times as I show you how to get the best out of the Sony PXW-FX9. It is as always packed with silliness, great music, lots of information and opinion.

The review was never supposed to be what this was. Initially, Sony invited me to the launch of their new large sensor camcorder in September. I didn’t know what it was at the time, only during their presentation did it become clear. The next day I had a chance to use it, this footage is in the review.

Sony asked me if they could hire me to assess the camera, to give them a proper in-depth opinion of the camera. The things I liked, didn’t like. Things that need improving etc. They needed lots of feedback from an experienced user of theirs and other cameras to give back to Japan. Sounded like a good job to me.
