Top-Teks' take on the new Sony FX9 camera

GTC sponsor Top-Teks was at IBC 2019 and has gathered together plenty of information on the new Sony FX9 camera announced at the show:

Main features

The camera’s full-frame 6K sensor provides superb recording in DCI 4K*, Ultra HD and HD resolutions. The Sony FX9 benefits from powerful image processing, with debayering and oversampling ensuring image quality beyond the limits of conventional Super 35mm sensors. The back-illuminated CMOS image sensor also uses Sony’s Exmor R technology for improved sensitivity and noise reduction. Compared to a 4K Super 35mm sensor, the FX9’s 6K sensor has over twice the surface area while providing a wider angle of view and shallower depth of field.
