I had a testshoot with the Sony FS5 (I prefer testing real life rather than studio charts) to see how it ergonomically, picturewise and featurewise stacks up to my C300.
While a lot of stuff is great (grip, clear-scan, high-speed, S-LOG, 800% Rec709 setting) I finally found a dealbreaker for me:
I am used to shoot a lot in traditional over-/undercrank: 32fps, 22fps, 48fps...heck on the HVX I shot a lot of sports at 37fps. These framerates look different than upsped-50fps.
Most commercials I shoot or watch are shot in these framerates.
In the manual there is no hint to this feature, while on the FS7 it is possible to choose from 1-60fps up to UHD!
I am not sure, if they can bring such a processing task back via firmware and doubt it. It would really be a perfect run-gun cam, but I will rent one when I need 200fps and keep looking for a replacement of the C300. FS7 is not the ideal documentary cam for my style, it is more of a ENG cam and can be rented, too. I like my cams to be mobile, fit on a Kessler traveller jib etc ;-)
