FS100: Petition to Sony

Indeed I agree with the limitations of still lenses - 'Optiically and physically its not too good'

Im also not a fan of lens changes in live events, especially if you have a FF

so 11-16 and 18-XX has to me the wrong break point

What I do like about my 24-105 on the 5d is to shoot sequences really really fast without breaking the kit

I dont even need to be able to zoom while rolling..

Same reason I want onboard ND !

There had been a rumor about some 'fast' 12-60 'video optimized' lens
coming out for the AF100. I haven't heard anything more about that.
I think those pictures you posted shows EXACTLY why having a good
zoom lens is just so handy. Quick 'sequence' without switching
lenses. I am HOPING that now there is big sensor video cameras, will
drive the lens market to make something, but who knows?

By the way I agree about the onboard ND, maybe in the FS200.......
 
I really like the Tokina 11-16 at F2.8, which I look forward to trying on the FS100. I also agree that the low light performance of the FS100 is something I'm going to have to experience to see how much slower of a lens I am comfortable shooting.

Generally, I don't buy lenses slower than F2.8 for use on my AF100 and 7D. I sometimes do event filming at night at on the 7D I found that as long as I stayed below ISO1600 I was happy with the quality.

With the AF100, I've shot all the way up to ISO3200 before and the footage is actually REALLY good for that ISO, but, at 3200 the noise can creep up on certain shots.

I looked at +30dB gain footage off of the FS100 and was shocked at how clean it looked. And this was with some pretty slow lens it looked like. So yeah, with the FS100 it's really going to be interesting.

What would be nice is if someone made some sort of magnetic ND system where you could put a magnetic mount on every lens you have, then just stack the NDs on that. Maybe I'll write a few of the ND companies about that idea. Could be REALLY nice.
 
And PS, we just used a zoom while recording on our last part of our web series :) Even with a lens that changes aperture while zooming! Fixed it in post and it's awesome. But then again, we used it for that kung fu enemy reveal hilarity! :) (We don't generally use it)

I would highly doubt it. That is a serious high end feature that is a $3000-ish (I think) add on to the F3. Also, I don't think that you can output s-log through HDMI (it takes Dual Link HDSDI to do it on the F3)

Sorry to resurrect a year-old thread, but from a data-rate perspective HDMI 1.4 could indeed support S-log 4:4:4, as its data rate maxes out at 10 Gbps vs. dual-link HD-SDI's (or 3G-SDI's) 3 Gbps.
