New Sony FS7

internally records to
4K60p
1080P180
As xavc
Xavc is not my favorite codec as record capture as it is a variant of h264, but it is great that seens to be 422 10bit

F5 for pro sets with PL lenses, FS7 for owner operators and smaller scale. F4 is fine as an eng style lens, you can whip it off and put a fast prime on for interviews and beauty shots. Actually it's E mount, which saves masses of money for those who can't afford cine glass and allows you to put a Speedbooster on for full frame hipsters. Add to that 4K internal, raw out, v-lock batteries, 14 stops and a decent looking form factor - looks like a winner to me.
 
Is there a timecode in/our port? I don't see one listed in the specs.

eta - never mind, it's included in the extension unit.

This camera may just be the perfect camera. It checks all the boxes, and if you've come from the FS100/700, you should already have all the lenses you'd need. I'm glad I still have my E and A mount lenses!

Ya, for me also seems great, i just say the pros and cons i see. Obviuosly a pl mount could destroy f5.
wrll need to wait to confirm the price.
What i dont like from sony id the xavc cidec, it is a h264 variant, its ok for delivery and compression but not for efit.
Any one knows if prores will be added as an option like in f5 f55 ?
 
Not a big deal, I mean the sensor, DR etc. is the real deal, but I just like the rig that comes with it. Why don't more cameras do this? It's minimalist but it does make it shoulder rig ready right out of the box which is very cool.

I have Canon lenses so I want an EF mount. But I guess that's no big deal if you add this, although it is a little pricey:

Global shutter would be nice but I don't expect it in this price range. I think it's a really solid offering at this price point.

What would be a good entry level set of e mount lenses for cinematic style shooting?

here's a nice hands on video.

I don't believe the 28-135 lens is included in the $8,000 price. I hope I'm wrong.
If not, can the 18-200 power zoom from the EA50 work with the camera? I've used this lens on an FS700 and it worked just fine. I wonder if the grip's lens controls would "talk" to the 18-200.

eta - I think it's around $13,000 with the 28-135 zoom. That makes sense, that's a really nice zoom lens.
