Hello all, I have decided to buy FS700 after reading all your discussions and praises about it :-) CVP in U.K is also selling the SEL18200 E Mount Lens along with the camera. I already have Tokina 11-16 Nikon version. So is it worthwhile buying this lens? Or what other lens is recommended...

I am wondering whether one needs big lighting equipment whilst shooting outdoors on a bright sunny day? Scenes - mainly hand to hand combat rapid action scenes with some running involved. Some close ups and medium shots with dialogue . Does one need a lot of lights and consequently a...
