Hey guys,
This may be a silly question, but I've been unable to find any actual information regarding this issue.
We've had our minds set on picking up a FS700 for a while, and we've now got the fonds to actually do so. However, the more I've been reading about the 7Q, I feel as though my life will not be complete without adding this to our camera. As such, I wouldn't mind saving a bit of money on the camera if at all possible, so we've looked into picking a used model up somewhere. Sadly, its next to impossible finding a used model in Europe (I'm located in Denmark). I will, however, be doing some traveling over the pond the next week, and thought I should look at my options over there. Its been fairly easy to find some very good deals on used equipment, however as I looked more into it, the model numbers was different from those in europe. More specifically, the US models are all U models, whereas the european models are E models. I've been checking the sony homepage, and they are, as far as specs go, completely identical. However, I still have this feeling I can't shake that I may run into some sort of trouble regardless. As such, I thought I'd post here and see if anyone had any experience they could share with me in this regard. I'm especially worried about whether I can take the U model back to europe and have it upgraded to the R model (or, at least the s-log 2 4k 3.0 firmware update - not sure it'll actually be called R
). If I want the 7Q to work, this is obviously necessary.
Does anyone have any info in this regard, or just general good advice regarding my situation? Its obviously a luxuary problem, as I may just have to wait with the 7Q, but damn it I want one badly! :cheesy:
Also, I know this is not a sales thread, but should you be situated in europe and looking to get rid of your FS700, do shoot me a PM (I can't post in the sales section yet, so sorry in advance for the missplaced line!)
In advance, thanks!
