Re: Owners, would you still buy a FS5?
I would buy the FS5 again. It is great at what it does.
It is light, accepts all my lenses. I shoot mostly HD and that is very good in the camera. The UHD is great as well if used properly, a nice...

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions
Well there is a huge difference in a ½" imager versus S35 imager. All the optics have to be much larger and it is very complex to make a big imager lens parfocal.
These are real cine size lenses...

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions
The problem is not the LCD or EVF it is the way that the lens responds to your movements. Sometimes it is very sensitive and other times it takes a lot to change at all. And it is not consistent, so...

Re: Sony FS7 V3.0 Firmware Released
Did my FW upgrade yesterday.
Connected to a UPS and the AC power supply, just in case.
I did not erase the SD card first, just used the one in my FS7. I left the Private folder alone and just...

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions
Maybe, I would say Sony is aware of a number of shooters reporting difficult manual focus on the lens.
It is not impossible, just harder than it should be to manually focus. Using the auto focus...

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions
The kit lens for $500.00 is pretty good. Is it a great lens, no. Do I use it, yes. Do I like it, yes and no.
The good part is with clear scan you get field of view from 18-210 in HD, about 18-160...

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions
I would grab all my stuff, EVF shoulder rig etc. and go to a dealer and see if he would let you rig up a FS5, or maybe rent on for a day and see if it works for you.
If you did not have all the...

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions
The 7 and the 5 are very different cams. Both good at what they do. I don't want to go into this in detail here, enough has been written about that.
If you can comfortable use a DSLR, then you...

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions
Hi Piotr,
I published this a while ago. Shot on the FS5 using the 50mm f1.4 Canon FD lens from 70's. You can download the file I uploaded from FCPX (yes it is compressed) but it shows use of that...

FS5 Cine4 PP development
I have been working actually doing some jobs with the FS5 and FS7, so I have not had time to really fine tune my PPs for the FS5.
But this is the Cine4 gamma profile I have come up with. This is...

Re: EX1 to FS5
I still use my EX3 a lot, It is a great workhorse and a lot easier to focus then the S35 cams.
I have a FS7 as well as a FS5 since late November. I love both those cams. They are both capable of...

If you're trying to evaluate the camera the best thing to do is just rent one and try to shoot exactly the way you want to shoot because everybody needs to shoot in a different way so you should just...

Re: FS5: Anyone have a PDF of the owner's manual?
It is on the CD and can be downloaded from Sony.
These days with so many FW updates it makes sense to have manuals only on line. I have not checked if the whole manual is updated for 1.1 or if it...

Re: What's better FCP X or Prem Pro for FS5?
NLEs are very personal. My all time favorite is still Media 100. But I stopped using that a few years ago when support/development died, and slowly switched over to FCPX. I never liked FCP7, I used...

Re: FS5 - Macro blocking codec issue in 4k??

What do I mean by that. Well I use it as a replacement for my...
