Rent the Sony FX6 in Canada — Sony’s full-frame Cinema Line workhorse, built for documentary, run-and-gun and small-crew productions that need cinema features in a compact body. It takes the celebrated FX/a7S low-light sensor and wraps it in a proper cinema camera with built-in ND, SDI and pro audio. Key points:
10.2MP full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R sensor; BIONZ XR; dual base ISO 800 / 12,800
DCI / UHD 4K up to 120p, 10-bit 4:2:2 internal; 16-bit RAW output; Full HD up to 240p
15+ stops of dynamic range with S-Cinetone / S-Log3 — matches FX9 and VENICE
Built-in electronic variable ND, Fast Hybrid AF, detachable XLR handle — Netflix-approved
Our thoughts
"The FX6 is the camera we put in the hands of solo shooters and small crews who want cinema results without a big build. It shares that gorgeous low-light, dual-base-ISO sensor with the FX3 and a7S line, but the built-in variable ND alone makes it a different beast for run-and-gun — you can ride exposure as the light changes without swapping filters. Add SDI out, timecode, proper XLR audio on the handle and Netflix approval, and it slots straight into professional workflows. Two things to plan for: there’s no in-body stabilisation, so pair it with a gimbal or stabilised lens for handheld, and no built-in viewfinder — you work off the detachable LCD."

Yes — it has a built-in electronic variable ND filter, one of the FX6’s standout features. You can dial exposure smoothly as the light changes without stopping to swap physical filters, which makes it superb for run-and-gun and documentary work.
Yes — the FX6 features on Netflix’s list of approved cameras (subject to their shooting guidelines), making it a reliable choice for professional productions with delivery requirements.
The FX6 outputs 16-bit 4K and 2K RAW to a compatible external recorder (such as an Atomos Shogun) via its outputs. Internally it records up to 10-bit 4:2:2. You can add a recorder to your rental.
Yes — as well as full-frame Sony E-mount lenses, the FX6’s Center Scan mode crops to a Super 35 area so traditional S35 cine lenses work without vignetting (and you gain a little extra reach).
Each slot takes either a CFexpress Type A card or a UHS-II SD card. For the highest bitrates and 4K 120p, use CFexpress Type A. We can add suitable cards to your order.
