re: New Sony NEX-EA50EH Announcement
It for sure delivers the "Wow" factor....
Yet many wedding guys have been using DSLRs for years now. When my VG20 is tricked out for action, no one questions that a "real movie" is being made. Some will grab it up I'm sure, but why anyone would buy this over a FS100 (or a Canon XF105 for that matter) is beyond me. |
re: New Sony NEX-EA50EH Announcement
I think the "big camera" is more of a crutch for the insecure shooter than it is to please the client. That excuse should be dead everywhere by this point, and videographers should know how to deal with it. They should be selling their product based on the work they have done and do, not the size of their camera. As far as the client, its just a matter of education that skill and editing are what make the film, not the size of the rig. If your selling point is that you have a big camera, that won't last long in the industry if you don't have the skills to go with it.
Of course, the shoulder mount may be best form factor for the wedding shooter, and that may be the thought in rolling out this camera. I am not knocking that. |

At $4500 is only $300 cheaper than FS100. Even if we assume that Fs100 with the same servo lens would be around $5000, the difference in price is not substantial. If the sensor is not optimized for video as its rumored and without HDSDI, it isn't really that good of a deal. Only the ergonomics look better.
Compared to the $700 A57($1000 with 18-135), which probably shares the same sensor and also sports inbody stabilization, seems a tad expensive as well. If it was meant as a cheaper alternative of FS100, it should have been around $3500 max. |

re: New Sony NEX-EA50EH Announcement
Not sure but if you look at the photos there's a button that looks like a zoom rocker on the side of the lens with a "t" and "w" printed, I suppose that's the second zoom function?

re: New Sony NEX-EA50EH Announcement
Yes - but this one is more a "lever" than a proper rocker...
In any case, with the FS100 a LANC controller will be essential (provided the camera has all the electrical connections in the lens mount ready for controlling the servo zoom motor)! |

What is there a big deal for Sony etc to go back to what Canon made in the 1990's. ie the Canon EX1/2/L1/2 Hi8 camera, the forerunner to the XL1 which had interchangable lens and a rocker button on the body??

re: New Sony NEX-EA50EH Announcement
I've not seen any photos showing the lens zoomed in. Does it extend like the kit lens for the FS100/700 does?
