NEX FS 100 footage thread and links

Can someone post some shots that are straight off the camera but have a shallow depth of field.. All of these shots are focused to infinity it appears. MTS files work fine in my cs5.. At first I thought it said MT2 like the z7u shoots... This camera looks awesome
 
But why would you make a decision based on clips from someone who had used the camera for an hour? I'm not making my decision until I've seen what it does when it's released and spends some real time in the hands of professionals.

I would never have considered an AF100 based on the pre-production clips, now it's actually out there you can get a much better feel of what it can do.

I definitely agree on making sure the footage is truly representative of what the camera can do. That being said I thought the Den Lennie video for Cozi was quite good, and showed off the camera's low light ability and super clean image. There were a couple of shots I didn't like but it was more of a stylistic thing. (Super shallow CU with odd blown out lighting)
 
Den Lennies footage is marginally close to what you can expect when recording to the onboard format.
 
What's so amazing about that low light test is the 3.5 lens....can you imagine a 1.8. At least the noise/low light performance is matching the F3 pretty well.

Someone needs to do a direct comparison with the F3 to see if that 30db gain is legit or a marketing ploy.
 
Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 can playback AVCHD (.MTS) natively. I tested the problematic shots there and the aliasing is the same. So it may not be a CS4 issue.

It could well be the camera settings. As I said, I was too rushed to check through properly and my first glance at the Cinematone 1 picture profile is that it looked like defaults but I am not sure. The aliasing was also not showing up in the LCD display when I was shooting, so I didn't check. It was only discovered during post.

I would check again with Avid Media Composer 5 when I get back to office after the weekend. I have FCP at home but unfortunately it's a PowerPC that can't import AVCHD.

In the meantime, you guys can download the scooter scene MTS file from this link. I will remove it after a few days.

I've got a lot of footage at ranges of dB at night, right on up to the highest setting while riding in a car... with iPanchros and a Tokina 11-16/2.8 PL mount...

Believe you me, the new SUB 20K lowlight king is here. I just took the GH-2 out at even at 3200 ISO on the same Tokina it's almost depressing...

I never see the moire or aliasing when I shoot with my VG10. It's always a rude interruption later during editing.

What do you mean? I mean the Sony event I was at two days ago had an NXCAM35 and F3 next to each other... NXCAM35 went up to 30db in 3db increments, F3 is known to be limited to 18db right now from what I understand. I shot some footage with the NXCAM35 at 30db at f2.8 and my gh2 at f.95 and comparatively it seemed that the NXCAM was much cleaner than the gh2 even with the 3 stop faster lens on the GH2. This is a bit anecdotal though since I only watched the footage briefly on my computer and havent gone back to it, but I must say it made me feel a little sorry for my brand new GH2...

I was planning on spending 20k on LED lighting for the film, maybe now I won't have to.

I might be heading to LA soon on a fundraising mission. I hope you like Australian beer!

Thanks for sharing the MTS files.
I downloaded the files I found here http://www.mynahmedia.com/2011/04/an-hour-with-the-sony-nex-fs100u/#more-227 and converted them to prores using 5DtoRGB and they look pretty good. I don't see aliasing but I can't judge on moire on the foliage.
Best,
Diego

Interestingly, this clip does indeed show bad aliasing when played back in WMP, but none whatsoever when played back full screen from Vegas Pro 10 timeline...
