Getting To Us
Be one of the first to get up close and personal with a pre-production model of the new Sony PXW-FX9 camera. Try out this great 4K camera for yourself and understand the benefits by talking directly to the product experts from Sony together with independent camera guru Neil Thompson. Seeing is believing
With a similar form factor as the popular FS-7/M2 , 6K Full-Frame sensor delivering 15 Stops of dynamic range, dual base ISO, electronic variable ND filter , fast hybrid AF and S-Cinetone™ colour science, the FX9 is an ideal camera for documentary, cinema, and live event production. It is also Netflix approved.
The specs of this camera look good however, you can only judge if it’s right for you by trying it out for yourself.
Held in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere you can chat with other attendees to understand if this camera fits your requirements and what they think about the competition. This event will equip you with the practical knowledge and hands-on experience to know whether investing in this camera is worth it, which accessories are best and which to avoid.
Equipment being demonstrated includes the Sony PXW-FX9 plus a range of lenses and Vocas accessories.
We are running two identical sessions, each one will start with a presentation from independent expert Neil Thompson followed by a Q&A session with plenty of time for you to get your hands on the kit.
You will leave this session with:
- A clear understanding of how the FX9 differs from the FS7/M2
- Advice on the benefits it offers over the competition
- How the dual native ISO gives extra flexibility
- Hands-on experience of using the FX9 with appropriate accessories
The Sony FX9 is the ideal camera for documentary, cinema, and live event production including single-user operation. It is tailor-made for owner/operators, independent filmmakers, documentary makers and corporate production creators.
This event is a must for anyone interested in a 4k Full Frame camera

Neil ThompsonAfter a few years as an engineer for the BBC at Ealing studios and TV Centre Neil Thompson joined Sony in 1989.
Working in product engineering, technical support and product management roles he was particularly involved in the establishment of digital cinematography with Digital Betacam, HDCAM and the F35, and helping to establish the dominant market share of BVP and HDC cameras in live production.
Since 2001 his work for Sony has been on a part time contract basis, until going freelance in 2012. Now doing training, systems engineering, small scale manufacturing and working as a Sony ICE.

Starting with the first generation of CCD cameras at the BBC, right through to the current '4K with everything' world.
