Both cameras are excellent, but they suit to different needs, which are required by professional video work.
Sony FX6 is more of a dedicated cinema camera it has superior cooling to allow recording long takes without overheating, inbuilt ND filters and video controls are more ergonomic. The A7S III is a hybrid mirrorless which performs well in a low light and is extremely small.
Both are very good in terms of dynamic range and low-light (the sensors are not dissimilar at Sony), but the FX6 tends to do better due to its video-oriented design. With longer shooting (interviews, events, documentaries), FX6 can be more comfortable to use. The A7S III is also wonderful just not so video-ready just out of the box.

When the need to shoot in the dark is what concerns you, the A7S III is a legend because its 12MP sensor allows one to push the ISO limit to its limit without introducing noise. The FX6 is superb in low light also and under most real-world scenarios you could hardly tell the difference of having massive difference. The two cameras are both beautiful in the dynamic range, however the dedicated color science and S-Cinetone profile of the FX6 make it a little bit easier to grade in the post to achieve a cinematic look.
Therefore, in night shoots or dark lighting, the A7S III is a monster yet the FX6 remains strong and more of a pro video generally.

A virtual recorder and workflow integrates multiple components (e.g. transcription software, web video recorder, etc.) to create a solution that removes the need for human presence in the recording studio.<|human|>Reply 3 Long Form Recording/Workflow This is a web-based version of recorder/workflow, where several elements (e.g. transcription software, web video recorder, etc.) are integrated with each other to produce a solution that eliminates the necessity of humans in the recording studio.
One practical difference is recording limits which is big. The FX6 has no actual recording time limitation, excellent heat control and one can comfortably do long form records. Extended recording is also quite good with the A7S III, more so than other mirrorless, but not as good as the FX6 with continuous long tasks (which go on hours, such as event or interview coverage).
In addition, the menus and physical buttons of the FX6, tally lights, and audio inputs make the device look more like a legitimate cinema rig. When you do long shoots lots, that would be something to think about.

The A7S III is the winner in size when it comes to portability, that is smaller and lighter and easier to move around. It is a more versatile weapon when your job requires much running and gun shooting or when you run it together with gimbals/drones. The FX6 is heavier and likely to be used with bigger lenses and a rig, nonetheless, it is more like a professional video camera that is going to be used in complex tasks.
Another is Lens ecosystem which can also use Sony E-mount lenses so you can interchange glass between them based on the needs.

Sony FX6 - improved video-oriented workflow, longer filming, professional ergonomics, inbuilt video functions.
Sony A7S III - it is an excellent opportunity to shoot in the dark, with excellent dynamic range, lightweight, and it is ideal to be used by hybrid shooters or one-man operators.
FX6 would be better suited to the later the longer shoots of professional video. A7S III is difficult to contend with if you desire an all-purpose camera that plays outstandingly well in dark conditions coupled with the fact that the camera excels in video recording. Both can be pro-level either way it all depends on what you want to do with it.
