Re: Lenses for Storytelling
Alister, I've been looking at those lenses as well. Did you go with the Sony mount? I'm considering the Nikon version since I already have the Nikon mount for the F3.

Re: NanoFlash and slowmo
You are not doing anything wrong. That is how it is. You are getting an interlaced output with half of each of the 60 frames.
To get the best external recording of the slo-mo from the fs700 you...

Re: Interview microphone for the FS100?
That is a dynamic mic and needs a different mic trim than an electret mic (the stock mic).
Check out page 36 of the FS100 manual to see how to change the mic trim in the menu.

Re: Not happy with FS700 ergonomics
I'm not thrilled with the ergonomics of the FS line of cameras myself. Once they get this small there is limited real estate to put all the buttons. I'm not exactly thrilled with the ergo of my F3...

Re: Not happy with FS700 ergonomics
I had a good talk with someone inside Sony today and based on that conversation the probability of a large imager ENG style camera below $25k (body only) from Sony is near zero. They acknowledged the...

Re: FS700 vs. EX3 noise and low light
The EX3 and EX1 both are 8 bit cameras. They record internally to 35mb XDCam EX which is 8bit MPEG2 4:2:0. They do output 4:2:2 via the SDI if you want to use an external recorder.
The EX1 and...

Re: Other competitors to the Sony NEX-FS700?

Here is the breakdown and how I use my gear.

Re: Other competitors to the Sony NEX-FS700?
The ND filters and the high frame rates are improvements over the FS100. If you have ND filters covered via a matte box or lens filter attachment and don't need high frame rates the FS100 is an...

Re: FS700U - Portable External Recorder 3G/HD-SDI
I would not expect to see a lot higher power usage for 4k and maybe even a little lower. When outputting RAW the signal will skip several processing steps in the system and will need only to be...

Re: FS700U - Portable External Recorder 3G/HD-SDI
Sony will be able to use existing technology to record the RAW stream from the FS700. It will require a 4:4:4:4 uncompressed recorder to do it. I know RAW doesn't have a colorspace but the reason why...

Re: FS700U - Portable External Recorder 3G/HD-SDI
10bit is not available from the FS700. You can get uncompressed 8bit from the SDI connection. Anything more than that will have to wait for whatever RAW option the camera offers in the future.
