NEX FS 100 footage thread and links

Well now I'm just confused:

Says 10bit AND -> 4:4:4

Bill Drummond- Product Manager at Sony says the FS100 is outputting 4:2:2 8 bit (during an interview with HD Warrior.)

Is it just me, or do any of you guys feel this looks a lot like Nikon's color palette, Which awesome.

'Cause Nikon uses Sony sensors.

"Because the camera does not have any built-in ND filters of it's own, I used a $150 Genus Variable ND Polarizer filter to control the amount of light entering the lens. ALL shots, except for the indoor fruit basket were shot with the ND filter on the lens. I found that this filter actually allowed me much finer control over my exposure than of the camera had only a couple of built-in filters. What at first seemed like a big shortcoming of the camera, was quickly forgotten. I can use cheap step-down rings to use the same ND Polarizer on all of my lenses regardless of their native filter size."

After all is said and done it always comes down to the images.
Very nice stuff indeed.

I think it looks great too, but it looks like it was shot at 29.97 instead of 23.96. (Excluding the slo-mo) Anyone know?

If I had to guess I would say yes it's 30fps.
I remember Vortex was big on 30fps over 24 with the EX-1 training video.

AHHH, I didn't know that, makes sense though. thanks for the heads up.

Looks fantastic. Sony really nailed it with this camera. Actually tempted to pick one of these up.

Agreed.

 

[Berk]

Clearly they say hdmi out is 4:4:4
http://www.cinema5d.com/news/?p=5965

how would the pic be different from 4:2:2?
color rendition would be better for sure but
would banding be still there?

Has anyone seen a new variableND shoot out? I know there has been a lot more since I bought my FaderND last year, they even have a newer version. I wondered if any of the newer ones are doing better on the various issues the original ones had. Given many FS100 users might be looking at getting one.

My new question is will we have access to the 3D LUT for post grading? Or is it just in camera? (I'm pretty sure this is different than setting up standard presets.)

Nope. That's called RAW. For that you gotta talk to Red. Or buy a $600 stills camera -.- (it's possible the motion market is a few years behind on the digital revolution)

WOW!! (Barring any surprises)...looks like there is a new indie "King of the Hill". DANG!! That's some nice range....the sharpness is impressive...and it still has an organic feel. Looks like it's F3 heritage is apparent. Way to go Sony!
