Great review. It's nice to have someone speak some truth. I haven't had the sunspot problem, US version, but agree on most of the other issues. Coming from the Blackmagic world, 420 8 bit it just a bummer. At least give the option of 422 10 bit via HDMI. Hell, even develop a proprietary recorder like Panasonic did for the GH4. I'll buy it if I get better quality for grading. I'm most likely switching to Slog2 since it's not quite as flat. And yeah, the rolling shutter really is awful. You really can't move around with this camera. As for adapters, not sure if it was an individual occurrence, but the Sony LAEA3 destroyed the aperture control on the camera. Both me and the B&H guy have never seen anything like it. I had to exchange the camera. Honestly, I'm on the fence and might return it altogether. The FS5 looks promising even though it has other issues. At least it has 10 bit 422 in HD. Plus that variable ND is looking pretty amazing. On a side note, could we stop calling cameras "beasts" and/or "monsters". It's driving me nuts
