Re: New Sony PXW-FS5
Surely that must be a typo - I blummin well hope so! From what I have just read the HFR option seems to operate very much like on the FS700 (which it seems to share a lot of its guts with). So, are...

Re: New Sony E-mount video cam for IBC

It's especially important to have this tool when shooting QFHD at just 4.2.0 with the 100Mbps XAVC-Long GoP as, from what I have read, one needs to get exposure...

Interesting to read the comment that it is MORE...

Re: New Sony E-mount video cam for IBC
I get on pretty well with the C100 for run-n-gun BUT the main limitation is the very short focus throw on my (Canon stills) lenses...which is why I also have a PMW-300 and use that in certain work. ...

Re: White Balance. the 200 sucks
Great advice from Doug there - as always.
I've been using one of these to white balance my PMW-300 and it's great as it folds up quite small so I always have it with me when shooting. It's called...

Re: New Sony E-mount video cam for IBC
Glen,
My Sony PMW-300 can shoot in a 4.2.2 at 50 Mbps XAVC at 10-bit (not sure what flavour of XAVC at that bit rate - off hand - but it will do higher XAVC bit rates). It will also do the XDCAM...

Re: New Sony E-mount video cam for IBC
At $6699 body only (suggested list price including taxes) this FS5 seems priced very high relative to the FS7...but a C100MkII killer for sure as it offers 4K and a few other things that lacks. Not...

Any vibration from the (e.g. wooden) floor on which the cam's tripod was on - such as from church music or lots of people walking nearby during this drift in focus?

Yep, all good advice. The way Sony are spitting out new cams we might have a X100 and FS70 to consider by then!
