Hi all,

Been using the HVX for quite some time now, and will most likely purchase an FS100 very soon.

For those of you that have both cameras (or have had both in the past), do you see the value in having both on the shelf?

For a shooting job that requires a smaller sensor would you reach for the HVX instead? Or given the amazing "noise-less" gain abilities of the FS, could you just stop down and add some gain to the image? (it's scary how you can adjust exposure using gain on this camera... it's almost taboo to even suggest it!)

Would be interested in hearing your opinions. I'm undecided if I should sell my HVX kit given the FS100's abilities.

Will I never want to use the HVX again? or will l still find myself preferring the HVX in certain scenarios?

if you can afford to keep the hvx id keep it its only worth like 1500 now anyway
 
We have both, we rarely touch the HVX. The two things the HVX really delivers on is the automatic functions with the lens and deeper DoF. For concert/band recordings or things of a non-narrative nature, it still gets used. But, given the amount of light it needs, we just really don't like using it anymore.
 
I was and still am in the same boat for a while, but with an HMC150. I love that camera and having a hard time letting go "just in case". For now, I'm keeping it, but still trying to sell it (if that makes sense) and only will if a good deal comes around...
 
Thanks for the feedback guys...

I think I'm going to go ahead and sell the HVX. Looking forward to shooting on the FS.

Cheers,
Kian
