This is a first video sample shot on that fantastic new 4K E-mount FS7. XDcam-User writes:
Where this camera will be really good is when combined with the new 28-135mm f4 servo zoom lens. Typically par-focal lenses with this kind aperture and zoom ratio cost in excess of $30K. The FS7 combined with this lens will be a killer combination and that’s why I have ordered one.

And to promote 4K Sony Germany had the strange idea to show how bubble freeze 🙂 The effect is quite cool although I don’t see what’s the 4K advantage here. But that doesn’t matter i guess…it’s all about going viral here:

Did anybody test FS7 with E 18-105 f/4 G? Does camera correct geometry in 1080p? In 4K?
Don’t waste your time with this crappy zoom…
++++ The biggest shame Sony 18-105 f4 . Useless for fs100,fs700.
Not useless, they released a firmware update for the FS700 (the Sony 18-105mm f/4 works fine with the FS7 too). They seem to have abandoned the FS100 though :-/
For its price and weight/size it is very tempting however, am thinking about getting it myself.
The FS7 video is not really new but it’s the best FS7 sample video for the moment. I don’t really like the 28-135 but I’m sure it will do the job for a lot of people.
Concerning the Sony DE video… did you notice the RED camera OSD on the LCD monitor ? WTF Sony ?!
What exactly do you mean with RED camera OSD?
In the “making of” video at about 1:12 there’s a video monitor shown. What’s on the screen is coming from a RED camera, indicating that they were shooting a RED camera, not a Sony camera. However, the ad appears to be for Sony 4K monitors not cameras, so I guess that’s OK. RED cameras are used all the time for professional work, why shouldn’t the production company shooting the clips for Sony not use a RED camera. It would only be a problem if the clip would specifically be for a Sony 4K camera; in this case they should obviously use said Sony camera.
nice catch !
Looks like my comment on Sony-DE FB was deleted…
its still there
Made an other one ^_^
any particular reason a monitor sold by red wouldnt work on a Fs7 or something similar? Also, like you said it was for a TV commercial not a reel about cam performance
It’s pretty lame that there now are video ads that cannot even be stopped or silenced. This is really going too far and makes it impossible to visit the site at the workplace. I hope you’ll reconsider, Andrea, maybe you should offer a subscription service for a site without any advertising, like digilloyd does.
Just download adblock.
Admin needs to make money, otherwise there’s no website. Using Adblocker simply means that other visitors of the site have to endure even more advertising to compensate for the people using Adblockers. In other words: personal gain at the expense of others.
You’ll see the same ads no matter even if everybody use AdBlocker. If you don’t like AdBlocker – simply enjoy your ads and don’t contradict yourself 😉
Thanks God and AdBlocker developers – AdBlocker exists for every modern browser and it makes Internet nice and clean, exactly how it supposed to be.
I watched the Youtube video and thought it somwhat bemusing the Sony Europe decided to go to Canada for the location “because of the scenery and beauty…”, rather than shoot in their own backyard of Bavaria, or Austria, or Switzerland, which has nothing like that…!
Great filming, but at a time when Sony is losing money questions sould be asked about every aspect of budgets.
Probably the reason chosen to film in Canada is that, at the time of year this was filmed, the daytime temperature will have been too high in Europe, unless it was high up a mountain. Given that, with delicate bubbles, you want a sheltered spot, a mountainside is unlikely to be ideal due to wind.
Most likely local video crews were used anyway.
Was film at Whistler Mountain near Vancouver BC. So they did go up into the hills for the production. That is an area with lots of movie work, so I expect plenty of the crew was local.
Seriously? Exactly how much of a dent do you think it actually made?
Wow Peter. This is a stretch, even for you.
You sad little man to not even understand the meaning of ‘bemused’…perhaps your next purchase should be a dictionary and learn a few words.
Yeah, I understand the meaning of bemused. You are bewildered or confused. I can even understand how you couldn’t comprehend how little difference it would make make to the overall budget.
However, it doesn’t explain why you would would make such a petty remark.
But please, carry on and try and justify it.
First, in the context I wrote, bemused is puzzled; no more, no less.
As to your manner and tone, using the words ‘Seriously?’ and ‘Wow’ do not come across as ‘playful’, but completely the opposite; almost nasty and denigrating. Indeed, had you meant to be other than supercilious then you needn’t have posted at all.
By all means make an argument, but the majority of your posts appear to be nothing more than one-liners, criticising other posters rather than the content, and that is the trait of a troll and flame-baiter.
SteveGJ made a better fist of a response, even though I don’t agree with all of his assumptions. However, at least he argued a point.
Oh, I see. Everyone is meant to know exactly how you meant it. If seriously and wow bother you, you really haven’t lived much. Your comment however, cannot be misinterpreted.
Good day sir! (Is that polite enough for you?)
Your ‘Seriously?’ and ‘Wow’ didn’t bother me at all. I read them and knew exactly how they were meant and the nature of your contributions in general.
You know nothing of what I have done, seen, or experienced, so you make your ridiculous assumptions again to suit your trolling.
As to ‘my comment’, I have made several and given the precision of my writing I wonder how any are misinterpreted, although you seem to do so at every turn. It can only be deliberate on your part, or stupidity. Which is it?
ahahaha
The pomposity of your comments is truly remarkable. As is your inability to address anyone’s remarks with precision, clarity or intellect. You never address the pertinent points of anyone’s remarks, but instead try to point out how you are intellectually superior. That you have a fine command of language and a devastating line of reasoning. You imagine your posts are so clear in their intent that they are impervious to misinterpretation? Oh boy.
It’s true. I know nothing of your life. I can only guess at a what a pompous, joyless, miserable man you are from your comments.
Have a great day!
That’s out in left field, I guess when your mission in life is complain about everything that’s posted one must resort to the most obtuse rhetoric in a feeble attempt to be noticed. You’re being noticed alright, as a whack job.
A few things to note: Complaining is not my mission and this wasn’t even a complaint, it was merely an observation expressing my puzzlement as to why a whole lot of people would travel half way around the world to find very similar conditions to those in their own area. I added a sarcastic rider, but the nature of that seems to have gone straight over your head too.
In addition, it is not obtuse. I choose my words carefully and my post means exactly what I intended. That you cannot comprehend it is no failing of mine.
Being ‘noticed’ is a somewhat ironic accusation and I see no reason why an unimportant post on an inconsequential website would have any relevance to my sanity.
It would seem that characters like you and Justtakethepicture do nothing other than hurl abuse, hiding behind your anonymity. I’ve yet to see a solid addition to any conversation from people such as you.
Pathetic.
Please, feel free to point out the abuse in my remark? It is playful, but the nature of that seems to have gone straight over your head. That you cannot comprehend it is no failing of mine.
Your reply below however… “You sad little man to not even understand the meaning of ‘bemused’…perhaps your next purchase should be a dictionary and learn a few words.”
You do make me laugh.
All that I got out of that clip is how overcrowded Amsterdam is.
I would have thought the advantage of capturing in 4K was simply more detail. Even if the result is shown in 2K, it gives a lot more flexibility for cropping and editing. As a general principle, capturing at a higher resolution than the eventual output has advantages unless doing so compromises something else. Given the conditions, and camera, that seems unlikely.
Just avoid strong monochromatic LEDs. Sony can’t seem to be able to stop channel clipping artifacts. http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/7172-sony-a7s-color-channel-clipping-issues/
Why is it always really bad cameramen/self-styled Vimeo “cinematographers” that get access to these new cameras!? The stuff they put out is always ugly as sin. Really bad. Does the camera no justice.
The light conditions choosen in the Amsterdam video propably would look much better when filmed with an A7S and the 28-135 PZ is propably the better choice on the A7S as well, if you also want to use it in wide angle shots.
The frozen bubbles look really cool – I saw the resulting video in the Sony Center in Berlin advertising their 4K screens.
ha, the narcisist hipsters respond… Selfstyled vimeo cinematopgraphers? The guys who did the amsterdam video are the ones sony listens to when building cameras. The A7s does not do better because of several reasons one being less compression on XAVC then XAVC-s
Sony dont use is computer they use mac on your video
So the final word is that the ad appears to be for the Sony 4K UHDTV…
I think the freezing bubbles part is about the crystal struckture when something freezes.
Look at snow with a makro lens. a native 4k video will show off more of the sharp edges and spikes of frost / snow then 1080p will
