For the last few years, Sony has been shipping cameras with a new format, XAVC. The FX6 packs an all-new 4K, back-illuminated, 10.2MP full frame sensor which boasts an impressive 15 stops of dynamic range. Speaking of dynamic range, to get the most out of this awesome new sensor, you¡¯re going to want to shoot RAW. This camera is capable of sending a 16-bit RAW feed via SDI to an external recorder. The camera supports modern codecs such as XAVC-I and XAVC-L, as well as legacy codecs such as MPEG HD and DVCAM, allowing you to use one camera to shoot 4K, HD, or SD video. XAVC-I / XAVC-L generally uses the MXF wrapper, with the audio and video in a single file.

"I rencently purchased Sony FX6 4K camcorder, which captures 4K Ultra HD video for razor-sharp images. This is the second video camera I¡¯ve tried. Got this to record memories of my kids for when they are older to watch! Camera is super easy to use! Love that its great overall quality! However, when I tried to open its 4K footage in FCP X, it got stuttered. I guess it¡¯s because my Mac is not fast enough. Is there a workaround to go through this? Thanks for any advice. - Ramirez, Donald"
