Thanks! This was the news I was waiting for.
I was about to buy a NEX-FS700, but will wait now for more news on the NEX-FS700R and NEX-FS700RH.
I put my money that the only difference would be that new models would come with firmware/hardware upgrade already installed for 4K. The older model requires the upgrade in Sony repair center that cost $400
+1
and the lens include in bundle change to the electronic 18-200 lens
if it suddenly give 10bit output recording in this, i think there will be having a lot of raging of current fs700 user XP
I would like to have an NEX 7 with IBIS & lenses (plural) without (!) OIS.
Thanks to Sony. 🙂
Nice, maybe I can finally afford an FS700, only after I buy my backup RX1 and RX100m2
Best video, by far, below $15000
No the best video by far under $15000 would go to the Canon 5D Mark III with the Magic Lantern firmware.
Sure it is… if you want to break the warranty on your camera. Next, try recording 4K raw video at 60 fps… 🙂
Break the warranty? It doesn’t void anything. Don’t be a troll, ML + Mark III are amazing.
I have the FS700 but if the R version have Phase Detection AF on the sensor, I would sell my current one for it. Get rid of the bulky laea2 adapter I need sometimes for AF. Of course, the slog2 update makes sense too, but hoping for pdaf!
I rather see a FS100 replacement priced at around 4000
NEX-FS700RH may not be a separate camcorder model, but a camcorder+lens kit. Compare to NEX-3NY (16-50 and 55-210 kit).
i was wishing for an FS100 ii or FS200 with a bit better ergonomics and ND
The Loop of $$$ and where to put the nex(t)new?
On the one side ( have fs 100) Sony has its F5.
On the oter side some BMC cams roll up.
And interest-if-they-want Sony Projects would
go for it.
And after rinigin in the full-hd 2k 4k theatre
the loop begins to close.
One new Fs 200 a real fat 2k cam 4 4 2 and so on.
3900,-euros 8no i do not take $,because it could be
a grren lie it could be a nsamicro-papercomputer)
On the other side noboy in mid-semi-pro-i must by it
on my bill, can do this, so the struggling of red-cams
( the old market monster ” to early is to late”).
On the other side-waht will the rest of the pack do?
sleep on in its marketing-plans?
hmm.
So if we always only wishing like litte kids ” one button more and..”
The big companies rollon and out your money.
no fs 200 over 4000,-
not because the F5-b i Q4/q1 2014 falls to 7900 and down.
sank you
OK next rumors, thanks! 😉
Might be interested (further down the road) if the camera has a 10-bit pipeline, the 4K firmware already installed, and records in XAVC instead of AVCHD. I really like the FS100 but even as the price goes down it is starting to look at little dated. How quickly things change!
Finally some video related rumours!
Looking to buy a FS700 to upgrade my EA50 some time soon(ish).
The FS700R with 4K update done and the power zoom 18-200 would make quite a nice kit.
Hope the make more improvements than that though!
any updates on this?
