Why shoot with the Sony FS7, FX6 or FX9?

The 1080, 4K and 6K recording of these cameras, the lenses available, and high speed recording are great. Along with synced audio, depth of field and higher ISO with less noise make this camera very appealing. You can view 4K live from the camera via the HDMI or the XDCA-FS7 Extension Unit's DSI port to a monitor or recorder with the capability as well. If you need a crew located in Denver as well with this camera or others, Mister Photon Media is a great fit due to our capabilities as well experience in Denver, across Colorado, among other states, as well in other countries.

Why choose these for Cinema Production, Films or Documentary, TV or video production ? If your looking for the film look, done faster than shooting 16mm or 35mm film, and have to adapt quickly to shots, as opposed to modifying set elements or lighting for shots restricted by film stock, lighting conditions, magazine length, etc., then the PXW-FS7 is an ideal camera. Separate time code from audio or separate audio from picture is common to DSLR or motion picture film or with many DSLR cameras is another additional stop in post production. DSLR cameras or older film cameras without time code or synced audio can increase editing time increasing your production costs, in particular when poor sound recordings are made requiring ADR or other post production steps that may need to occur.

Who Else For? Any adaptable camera person or crew can use these cameras and hand of footage to any client with acquired or we can do this. The digital video files can be opened with ease in Windows, Unix & Mac operating systems with the right software & hardware resources. For XAVC I or L used in the Sony FS7 later versions of AVID, Adobe CC or Final Cut X are needed and recommended for efficiency, but are readily available solutions. When outputting RAW video from the camera sensor common formats such as QuickTime ProRes or AVID DNxHD can also be recorded with an external recorder making the footage more accessible and simpler to work with.
