Just got a new camera - Sony F35

Oficial presentation finally.
I'm still waiting for the VCT-14 quickrelease, but other than that, I'm pretty happy with the result:

Looks great! I've never seen the F35 look so 'manageable' before. Lightweight recorders really transform the camera.

How secure does the camera feel mounted from the bottom of the Lanparte Baseplate? Does it support the weight well?
 
Very nice setup, and it looks so much more manageable w/o the giant sony deck on the back. Is that a Vmount batt on back, a BM shuttle, and what's sandwiched between them?
 
Really appreciate if you could post some additional F35 footage. It's really hard to find, especially from small independents (without big-budget production and post, which can make just about any camera look great).
BTW, are you able to trigger that shuttle start/stop with the with camera?

It's the breakout box, with SDI outputs, mic inputs, and power to the camera. I might find a way to get rid of it in the future if I find a way to re-route the power. The camera is much smaller in person than in the pics but the smaller the better for me.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. One of the biggest downsides actually...

And a couple "raw" files straight from the recorder for you to play:

By the way, for anyone interested, there's a F35 on ebay for $14k BIN. Pretty tempting..
 
This thing is killing my sleep grrrrr...
Can you tell me more about the PL to Nikon adapter, please?
And maybe could take a photo with this thing on your shoulder...?
And: You will habe to post some wedding/birthday footage soon... ;)

And the price on it has dropped to $13k now! :shocked:

I came within a bee's d**k of buying it a couple of days ago, I've been tossing and turning and losing sleep over the decision for over a week (none of it made any easier by the tasty footage Miguel's been posting) but an incredible deal on an almost new F3 came up, and for the lighting and support kit I already have - I simply wouldn't be able to get as much out of the F35 as I could from the F3 (with its light weight and tremendous low-light ability), so I've gone with the smaller camera for now.

Well, the dynamic range is good, but seems to be at the expense of color: the greens are grey, the reds are not reds and the whole image is flat and not pleasing (it is not cinema-like). And the camera cannot retain focus when the guy moves, or when he does not and there is zooming by even a small amount.

I don't care what the camera is; this is unimpressive video performance.

This is kind of sad. So many video guys cry for that 'film-look', but just dont know anymore, how film really looks.

From your examples, the F35 must have the most 'film-look' out-of-the-box ever. Impressive!
