Impressive AF performance for a CDAF system, I am curious to see how will perform with third party and adapted lenses, but if theorectically should work Ok.
I meant to post this videos

Do anyone know if the FS5 electronic ND is like that on the video or is just software driven?
It has to physically reduce the light going onto the sensor. Otherwise it would just be exposure compensation. That can make the image look darker, but once the sensor has clipped due to over exposure no data can be recovered. So yes it will be like in the video, with the advantage that you can use emount lenses on it. It seems to me like sony might have heard about these guys and pipped them to the post and fucked them.
Haven’t seen the FS5 yet, but have seen the Sony infinite ND in another Sony camera.
On the other camera there is buttons to turn the density up and down. It is also in the camera menu. I’m not sure what you mean by software driven.
