4K and crop
 

Alister,

I read your post on your XDCAM-USER.COM website with the assumption that (maybe) the FS700 can be used with 2/3 inch lenses or the possibility to crop it in post. For wildlife fimmaking all the new developments towards the larger sensors are not necessarilly an improvement for me. The crop I have on my EX3 is very helpful. Please keep us updated once you know more about this issue, it could make the FS700 a wonderful tool for wildlife filming.

Even if the camera does not have a built in crop function, you would be able to use a 2/3" lens with a 2x extender via a simple lens mount adapter (no optics). Most lenses, with the extender, would then cover about 3/4 of the sensor. You would then shoot 4k RAW and in post extract an HD centre crop from the 4K image.

This whole concept of using eng lens with the FS 700 is very exciting. Alister ... I guess you'll be one of the first to test this out?
