Very nice review of FS700 with lots of juicy high speed footage at 1080p --- and get this, autofocus tracking at high speed!

Thanks.

Yep, it cost $8000.

But I still think it is too pricey for such camera.

I guess the FS700 price was as expected. I'm curious to see the translated prices in europe.

The question is. What other camera it the near future would compete and combine run and gun friendly features like xlr, nd-filters, focus peaking etc. with large sensor on a converter-friendly mount? I think AF100 is the closest match, but it's not that appealing. I'm also worried about Panas future in the AF-line, concidering no announcements at NAB.

Regarding the FS700 I'm mostly concerned about if the avchd codec holds up. I mostly shoot docustyle, so having an efficient codec is ofcourse a good thing (and I don't want to use and external recorder). But still, I need to grade and do color correction. I believe I read on eoshd that the FS100 avchd codec was suprisengly good, so hopefully the implementation can make a difference.

Do you have any thoughts about the codec, and differences between different avchd implementations?

Philip Bloom is reviewing the FS700. Here's one of the first test shots he has released at 480 fps.

anybody using FS 100/700 with Metabones Canon EF Lens to Sony NEX Smart Adapter II and Tokina 11-16 /2.8 ? I read in a forum about issues with focus to infinity but I'm not shure wether this is believable because I didn't find any other report.

Are there issues due to bigger super 35mm sensor (1.5) to APS-C (1.6) lens?

RRRR

Has anyone encountered any 4k footage from the fs700 yet?

Sony announced 4 K RAW recorder and firmware update

I won't bet but I see it coming to the market before BMD will ship a significant number of their camera

nice detailed report about shooting an indie film with the FS700 http://www.hackermovies.com/shooting-indie-film-intro-sony-fs-700-bangkok

We have been shooting with the FS700 vor three months now using mostly Canon, Tokina and Rokinon glass (with Metabones II)

Our last short project we shot with it:

I hope it is ok to post it here as an example of the Image delivered by the camera. IF not, I understand if it has to be (re)moved.

@peaceonearth I once had the same problem with the Tokina at 11mm. I will test that again in the snow next weekend.

BTW: Fridge shot was done GH3 using the Lumix app.

Merry Christmas!

Regarding 4K and 2K options using the Sony recorder and Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q

I wanna know more about that compressed 4k codec.

peaceonearth

@Tobsen great - it seems it works without additional invest of the HXR-IFR5

Tobsen

@peaceonearth ecxept the fact that Sony will not allow all codecs to be used by Convergent design. No 4k raw for the FS700 it seems. I preordered the Blackmagic just in case.

Howdy, Stranger!
