Hello, When I shoot in low light with my Sony FX3 I get these rippling lines moving from bottom to top of the screen which are present in the actual footage. The problem goes away when I move to a well lit area. What is it and how to get rid of it? I shoot in S35 mode if that makes a...

Hello, I was offered to buy an Atomos recorder. But the seller is not sure which model is this. He says it is Shogun, but not 4K. Can it be so? I thought that all Shogun recorders support 4K. On the other hand this particular recorder doesn't have "4K" written in the lower right corner. All the...

Do you think AF100 is better than X1000, considering its larger sensor? I seriously consider selling X1000 and buying AF100, because I don't need 4K and I really like the AF100 colors.

Hello, I was offered Sony FS700 with 4K upgrade for $750. It comes with 18-200 SEL (non PZ), but the focusing doesn’t work, both manual and auto. What is the probability that it’s the camera’s fault and not the lens? I don’t care for the lens, I need the camera. But if the camera is defective...

Hello, Judging by its look, do you think this Atomos Samurai Blade is a worth buy? It is sold by a rental house and although they say it works perfectly I have suspicions. The BNC connector is somewhat damaged and there are some wearing marks around the screen. Do you think it may be near the...

What is the maximum weight of a lens you can put on Sony PMW-F3? I see that some people use rails which provide additional support for lenses. I don't have such rails and I wonder if its ok to put a lens like Nikon 24-70 on this camera without any support? Thanks.
