Re: Starting from scratch... Lens brand and mounts?

I tend to agree that the Sony Zeiss lenses are getting great reviews - and with the A to E adapter I am inclined to try one on the FS-100. The Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA SSM - Sony...

Re: Where can I download original video of the Sony FS100

I shot some of my best films on the EX cameras. Sony has great in-built profiles and cinegamma. Thats why I always like Sony cinema grade cams.
But the EX3 is two-thirds sensor so you cannot compare...

Re: Where can I download original video of the Sony FS100

I just sold my EX-3 ... very hard to find nowadays ... they are no longer being made I believe.

Re: Where can I download original video of the Sony FS100

This is why good comparison tests show the FS-100 side by side with other cameras - the Philip Bloom reviews should be enough information to give you a good idea. Regardless of compression you see...

Re: Unboxing the NEX-FS100

Unless you want to get into some expensive adapters or wait a few months for Birger, Nikon Zooms are the way to go I think. Those and a $30 adapter and you are all set.

I will wait and see for...

Re: Unboxing the NEX-FS100

Those kit Sony lenses, the e-mounts feel like toys to me.

They just do not say "I do this for a living...really" - maybe its the way things are now... Consumer is tommorrows Professional.

Re: First Impressions...

I never use AF or anything auto or IS so my lens choice is wide open. If you use these then E-mounts are your only option I agree. That means waiting a few months.

Re: Starting from scratch... Lens brand and mounts?

One extra concern...

I will choose adapters very carefully now. This is the only connection and this camera does feel weak here.

Re: Main kind of shooting with FS100

Doc work ... to replace my big bulky Ex3 and the small but useless Canon 7D!

Re: Converting 60p to 24p without slowing footage

Re: Converting 60p to 24p without slowing footage

This is not the case with my 720-60p footage.

I drop this on to my 24p timeline and it does not change. I am using Final Cut. It plays back normal as per the 24p footage - same speed.

Re: Starting from scratch... Lens brand and mounts?
