Sony PXW-FX6 Cinema Line Camcorder Comes by the End of Year 2020

The Sony Cinema Line was introduced to unite all the new Sony cinema cameras. Apart from the existing Sony VENICE and Sony FX9, the Cinema Line will get a new camera – the Sony FX6. This smaller sibling to the FX9 will be officially launched by the end of 2020. Both, the Sony VENICE and Sony FX9 will get firmware updates with new features soon.

Sony FX6 – The Smallest of the Sony Cinema Line

To me, Sony’s Cinema Line seems like a new marketing term for Sony to differentiate their “big cameras” from the mirrorless lineup. The Cinema Line will include the Sony VENICE, Sony FX9, and the newly announced Sony FX6.

As this is only the announcement of its development, there is no price of the Sony FX6 yet. The camera is listed on B&H already, but currently no additional specs or information are available. The only specs we can report about from the product photos are that the camera will record 4K video, it will have a Sony E-Mount and an internal variable eND filter. The side panel, including the camera body’s color, looks much like the FX9.

Sony says they will be releasing AND shipping the FX6 by the end of 2020, so it seems like the first units will find their way to Sony customers before 2020 comes to an end.
