What are you gents and ladies up to now on the hours on your camera?

The hour meter on my Fs7 is at 785 hours.

26 months owned. Averaging 30 hours of shooting per month with my rig. I still operate regularly for other Owner / Ops on their rigs and on shows where they have rental cameras, so only around 20% of my shooting is with my own camera.

No problems with my Fs7 to date. ( knock on wood ). I know of one owner who had the ND wheel crap out on him twice, the second time after a Sony repair job. But of all the owners I know personally, that is the only one who had any issue that I am aware of. It seems that the Fs7 is highly reliable.

All in all very happy with the Fs7 and Sony is to be commended on how they responded to feedback from the users. The Fs7 II corrected many gripes and also added some features.
 
605 in 14 months. No issues what so ever! Very happy with it.
If only I could get rid of those 'horrible Sony colours' :D haha

972 hrs in 29 months. Only issue was the handgrip breaking. A User here helped me fix it.
 
I'm at 691 so far, Bought the camera in May or June of 2015. Loving it more and more.
 
530 Hours clocked in almost exactly 24months. Edited three feature docs last year so guess I've been taking it easy on the camera recently... ;-)

Cheers,

600+ in 18 months.

Not all work, I used to steal the camera for the weekends at the coast.

I think the original FS7 will go down as one of, if not, the best value cameras ever released. I paid £5k (£6k for the VAT payers) for a < 10hrs demo unit. Now the FS7II body only is over £8k (nearly £10k with the dreaded added).

Love the Sony colours.
