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

One of their senior design engineers is on record (and on camera) stating clearly that FS5 uses two-pass encoding.

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions

Reliance on adapters was one reason I steered shy of the FS7 when it launched...since I have Canon glass. Other reasons were size/weight (especially for one man band, low profile gimbal/steadicam...

Re: LS300, the beat goes on

On another point, one which I brought up at the...
