Sony PXW-FX9K 6K Handheld Camcorder

Introducing the Sony PXW - FX9K
Sony PXW-FX9K 6K resolution is the way to go for new-age cameras, as the continuously advancing technology broadens the scope of what we can achieve. The Sony PXW-FX9K is a full-frame camera, almost the same size as its predecessor the Super35.

This amazing product has broken the myth, by being an upgrade of the Super35 4K cameras, despite its similar size and body weight to the predecessors. It had been previously assumed that 6K cameras would have to be 2 times the size and weight of the Super35 cameras but that couldn't have been further from the truth.

A brief history of the PXW-FX9K and how it came to be
To better understand the Sony PXW-FX9K, let's take a short trip back in time and follow the FX9's journey to today. 2012 was the year when Sony launched its F5 and F55 Super 35K models. This would mark the beginning of an exciting journey that would see the growth and introduction of innovations that would shape the telecommunications industry.

In September the following year, Sony NEX-VG900 came into the picture. This was a Full Frame E-mount HD camcorder and it would be followed by the a7 a few weeks later. The a7 opened a new phase, being the first full-Frame Interchangeable Lens camera with an E-mount. This would pave the way for the VENICE and PXW-FX9K models.

Come September 2013, and Sony would announce the FS7 Super 354K cine camera, with shoulder resting feature and a suitable option for documentary-style applications. This camera was a lot lighter than would be expected of a machine its caliber and camera enthusiasts would refer to it as Sony Minima or Sony Verite. (This is due to the cameras verite documentary style and its similar size to a 16mm format Aaton A-minima)

2016 would see the launch of FS7 II with a new lock lever lock E-mount, SmartGrip, a versatile viewfinder, In-camera Electronic Variable, and an improved interface. Then September 6, we had a Full-frame 6K camera, the Sony VENICE.

And two years later, the new and affordable Full-Frame Sony PXW-FX9K is launched in Amsterdam. This is the latest of the Sony line of cine cameras. As we can see from the brief history of Sony products in this decade, there is an undeniable pattern; Sony launches a high-end camera, and shortly later, they introduce an affordable version.
