The Sony FX6 has been everywhere for the better part of six years, and in 2026 it's starting to show its age. I don't own one, but I rent it constantly as a B camera, so I wanted to lay out honestly where it sits now: what's holding it back (the limited codec, the full-frame-only sensor, no IBIS) and why it's still one of the most in-demand cinema cameras you can own. I also took it out to the park with the 100-400 and a 1.4x teleconverter to shoot some wildlife and see how it actually handles in the field.
