Re: ENG Style zoom lens for FS-100?
Actually there is a world of difference one is professional grade with Zeiss ED glass optics, image stabilization and host of other features. It may be twice the cost but it is five times the lens.

Re: ENG Style zoom lens for FS-100?
Though not a 10x zoom, this could be a good choice for an every-day lens with full functions:
Sony SAL-2470Z 24-70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar SAL2470Z

Re: New Technicolor Profile Is Amazing
While I think this profile is a step in the right direction and I do not want to put a damper on this workaround, it also tells me my choice of abandoning the 7D was right. On it's release I jumped...

Re: ND Filters
While agree about sticking poor filters on great lenses is a bad choice, the 7D is not 'great' video (just my IMHO). I am not trying to inflame here.
I shot a doc recently on a 7D - over a one...

Re: FS100 and F3, Alister's Video

Re: 7D 1.2.5 firmware back now on USA site
Yes it is.
If I need a camera now I would go for the Sony F3 but the FS-100 is less than half the price with almost no difference in image, so I am waiting!
It feels like the Red's will never get...
