Can the FS100 output 444?

I think at this point in its life, the FS100 is what it is. The camera's AVCHD implementation isn't bad. If you're going to colour grade then recording to an external recorder might give you a slight advantage thanks to lower compression, but as with any 8 bit camera, you're just way better off getting it right when you hit record rather than trying to mess with the image later.
 
It outputs 422 8 bit, its 8 bit in a 10 bit stream. The AVC codec of the camera is pretty good and you do not really gain enough of an advantage using an external recorder for that camera to warrant the expense but for and 8 bit recorder the footage holds up pretty well in grading. I can push if farther then any 8 bit camera I've worked with in the past. Still like previously said you should really try to get what you want in camera. I will say when used properly the FS100 puts out some stunning footage.
