I have a FS5 demo in for a couple weeks and after getting to know the camera a little I took it outside. It's been crazy warm in SoCal. I know sorry if you are wearing a parka :-D

I shot some footage in the yard. (Sorry I don't have cats) The sun was crazy bright so I took advantage of it. The variable ND filter is great. All cameras should have this. Slog2 is the way to go. I can control the noise very easily and the codec I feel is best suited for it. I think Slog3 is to flat and can cause problems in post with the codec. I mean really how much do you need in a camera like this? :-D

I have lots more to test in the next few days but I do like the FS5. The ergo and simplicity of use is very good. More HERE.

That's why I got it! But I try not to dip into the Clear Image Zoom too much. Never zoomed all the way in. It's better than digital zoom, but not as good as optical.
