Is it possible that this might be a good time to change NAB 2016 to NAB 2017?

I have an A6500 on order, and I can’t help but think, “why not pay the extra money and jump up to an A7Rii or A7Sii (probably an A7Rii).” This is for general use with a focus on video: making short films, documentary work, B camera to a (yet to be purchased) FS7ii, use with a gimble, etc. For...

When you update NAB 2015 to NAB 2016, as I’m sure you will soon, how about adding a subforum called Generic Advice (Any Year) This is to handle questions like, “Do you have any suggestions for first timers?” This material could be retained from year-to-year.

I found the following webpage very useful. It’s surprising how many Sony lenses are incompatible with certain Sony cameras. For example, the kit lenses you can buy with the A6000 are not compatible with many of the other cameras we would want to use...

Can you change: PMW Cameras (& temp FS7) to:PMW Cameras (& temp FS7, FS5) Even more important, add a new prefix: FS5 There will be a lot of FS5 threads. The sooner you can change it, the better. (Will save work later). I can't think of any other logical place to put it. Jim

Yes, it has the stated error.

Just re-viewed the buried alive scene in Kill Bill 2. She had a flashlight. One more thought (to add to the others): Trunks have rubber sealing rings. The conceit could be that those are leaking light. You might be able to remove the ring(s) and replace them later. Then you could substitute...

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but can you change the heading Sony F3/F5/F55 to read Sony F3/F5/F55/FS7? Unless you want to put FS7 somewhere else. It needs a formal home.

I have my Sony NEX-FS700R 4K Camcorder up on eBay.com with a starting price of $4150.00 (body only). This is a NEX-FS700 and I paid $400 to get the 4K upgrade, therefore effectively making it a NEX-FS700R. The link is...

Go to http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN85S9-85-Inch-Ultra-120Hz/dp/B00CMEN95U/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-5&keywords=4k+tv. I particularly like the questions and answers, but the reviews are pretty good too. Enjoy. My niece turned me on to this. Amazon 4K TVs go up to...

One feature: "FS700 4K RAW to HD Apple ProRes 422(HQ) is now available up to 60p (59.94). 50p is also available." No compressed 4K raw. http://convergent-design.actonsoftware.com/acton/rif/4527/s-0048-1408/-/l-0011:325/l-0011/showPreparedMessage Any comments on the new firmware?

If you are using a multi-voltage battery plate (either V-mount or gold mount) you should be aware that some of them such as the Tilta one can fry your equipment. This was mentioned in another thread, but you might not have seen it. These battery plates typically allow you to supply the following...

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: we need a new A7s sub thread. As it is, NEX Cameras is rapidly becoming the A7s Thread. As stated before, some people think it belongs in a DSLR section. I think logically it belongs here, but put it somewhere.

Since the A7s is going to be a very hot camera, how about creating a new subthread for it? (just like the FS100 and FS700 threads)
