Wish list for next generation Z7
If there's a next generation Z7, this is what I would like to see improved:
- coloured peaking, such as on the Z5 and the EX3 - a folding loupe (such as on older 6x6 cameras) on the LCD-monitor - an small adjustable shoulder pad at the back of the camera - the LANC-plug on the same place as on the Z5 - sturdy power plug instead of the sled How about you guys? |

Sony must have made the perfect camera, then! |
A couple of good improvements for me would be better low light performance and a slightly wider angle of view on the supplied lens.
|
For me the biggest improvement would be a matt anti-reflective finish to the lcd - as on the Z1. Don't the designers ever try using these things outdoors?

Id like to see:
Dual compact flash card slots - and the ability to seamlessly go from one to another A proper broadcast style lens. dump the prosumer lens filled with electronics. I want a real lens with manual backfocus and macro rings please. Super slo mo at full resolution When recording to CF card, would be nice to have a choice of recording formats- like recording straight into .mov files, like the new JVCs do. Hell- would be great if you could record at a higher bitrate, and full raster, but that would be treading on EX1/3's toes. Id like to see the jello vision cmos sensor 'feature' resolved. |
oh, and BNC connectors. I know theres not much room on the camera body, but those min-display port style connectors are just too weedy for repeated plugging and unplugging

It would be great if it came in different colours Red, Blue, Green, Yellow would be cool :)

I'd like to see an option ship w/o a lens. Now with JVC, Panasonic & SOny all using the same 1/3" mount, there should be more & more options for glass in the future.
I have a lot of things that I would really like, but pretty much all that I want is a camera that shoots on CF or SD w/ under & over crank on a better codec than HDV. (Most of that is in the HPX300, minus the cheap flash cards.) Quote:

Should be possible, as I don't need the external timecode sync, the big tapes and the pro batteries.... |
