One thing holding me back…

I want some insight into this one thing that is holding me back from buying an fx6 as my main camera and demoting my much loved fx3 to my b-cam… it’s the codecs.

The majority of my current work is weddings but delving back into commercial and corporate again after going full time freelance hence wanting to upgrade my equipment. I am used to shooting my fx3 on XAVC-HS and it’s been great in terms of quality and space (2 x 128gb SD cards get 2hrs and 30mins of recording) which covers a full wedding day and is easy to store on my computer hard drives.

I was shocked to find out that when switching my fx3 to XAVC-S I Intra recording, I get a grand total of 59mins from the same cards which for me wouldn’t be do-able shooting a weddings every week.

Am I right in saying this is the only option (other than the 8-bit L codec) for the fx6 or is there a solution to shoot a more compressed codec like ok the fx3?
