Review of the Sony PXW- FX9: THE MOVIE

So this is why I haven't uploaded a video to YouTube since December! First off I was finishing my MZed course then this monster swallowed up all my time!

"Review of the Sony PXW- FX9: The Movie"? What sort of nonsense title is that? Well, it is almost two hours long which is over double the length of my previous longest review, but does it justify such a crazy length? Well, you can be the judge of that. I cover a huge amount of stuff and It also acts as a tutorial at times as I show you how to get the best out of the camera.

As always it is packed with silliness, great music, lots of information and opinion. It also has a narrative that makes the whole thing flow that you won't realise the time passing!

To learn about how this review came about, how it went from Sony initially asking me to do a proper assessment of their camera back in September with everything I liked and didn't like, to then becoming a first look video to then morphing into this epic review with everything I love about the camera as well as the frustrations, then check out the full story in my blog post.

This review took 8 weeks of very hard work so if you want to buy anything using my affiliate links it will help me out a little and won't cost you a penny more! Thank you!
