FS7: Any F5(5)-style sensor grid artifacts?

[Grug]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if any FS7 owners have encounter issues with lens flare causing the sensor grid artifacts seen in the F5(5) to appear?

Cheers

Did you read this?

From what I can gather , the ACS in Australia did an official investigation into it in the presence of Sony techs or reps and replicated it quite easily at will. I was supposed to attend but could not on the day and from what I can gather, Sony have said its a characteristic of the CMOS sensor being used in the f series and there is nothing that can be done about it so we have to live with it.
One could check with the ACS on their official response but the word was its useless to complain anymore.This raised the fact that Sony are still selling these cameras and not making people aware of the fault with the sensor?
Oh and by the way I was assured that the tests were done at all stops on lots of lenses and results were the same so Ruben can bury his uncinematic or silly stop theory.
So it's time to carry on and just keep avoiding those shots that we all love but create the grid and wait for the Amira to rise to the top of pile and come down in price a little.
Also it was nice to see Sony Australia actually take part in the tests when they were made aware of the ussue although im sure they new about it for some time earlier,which is more than can be said for the Sony officials on this site. The Americans should question why we can get a response from Sony in Australia and after 12 months of trying in the US still deafening silence .
Says a bit about Sony USA .Juan are you still out there?
So get out your flags, Matte boxes and best excuses and get in with it as best you can because nothing will happen from Sony. Was nearly the best camera ever.Bummer.
