Fgv 7d-pl

[DekraDTM]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some real world insight on the FGV 7D-PL camera. I am looking for a PL mount camera to hold me over until the Epic S release; this one does look fairly appealing.

I'd like to hear what you absolutely hate and love about the FGV 7D PL and/or also provide any information on what also might be worth looking at as well.

About me: I am shooting primarily EFP nature content, time lapse videography as well as a mix of documentary work. I do not shoot handheld much. I would be using this with Ultra Primes and perhaps a Duclos 11-16. I want PL because eventually I will be using them with the Epic. Otherwise, I would get a Canon 7D and start buying Canon glass.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and comments,



Hunter Snyder

If you are looking to be an Epic guy later on - I'd say buy a Red one MX used.

However, if you want something that's not a red and you have that kind of budget - then I'd say get a sony F3 or a panasonic AF-100.

The 7D - even with a PL mount won't actually satisfy your cravings.

Do you already have PL mount lenses? If you don't then I'd start there and rent your camera body - or spend the money on good glass and get a cheapo gh-2 and a hotrod or other PL adapter.
