The downside however of 2.4Ghz is that it is widely used, which can lead to potential interference from day-to-day devices. lots of E-mount lenses. I’m thinking of moving up to a cinema camera for the handling benefits. As the FX6 and FX9 are quite old now, would I be better jumping systems and using my lenses on something else with adapters? If so, what would you recommend? I do general commercial work. Sony FX6 may be old, it is still a widely praised camera that in many different ways stands up against other systems for its usability, features, lightweight operation, power management and more. If you are looking to step up in image quality and colour workflow, then moving to Red could be an option that allows you to keep your E-mount lenses due to their adoption of the Nikon Z mount, which can be adapted to Sony E with full electronic communication. It largely depends on what you need from the camera. While the I’ve been shooting on Sony mirrorless cameras and have

I’m interested in the Nikon ZR to use alongside my Red V-Raptor as a B

I’m a Canon shooter and considering either the new EOS R6 Mark III or the EOS C50, as they both use the same sensor. Is it worth spending extra on the cinema camera version and why? I don’t shoot super long takes so overheating has never been a problem. It depends what you need from the camera. The R6 III is a brilliant hybrid camera with a few advantages over the C50, such as in-body image stabilisation and an electronic viewfinder. Being a more video-first camera, the C50 does have video benefits though, such as simplified ergonomics, a top
When we got our hands on the Nikon ZR, one of the key things we tested
was an image and colour comparison to that and the V-Raptor, and we were pleasantly surprised with how closely they matched. Of course, they are not the same sensor so it won’t be a 100% match, but just getting it into the same image pipeline left us with little work in post to match them. We used the same lens across both cameras to get rid of any changes produced by lens characteristics.
