Sony, Canon, Samsung, it does not matter to me. Cameras are tools.
The FS5 sure looks like a winner to me. However, being an amateur looking to upgrade from a DSLR, I am having a hard time justifying the expense (5600$ usd plus shipping).
I just stumbled upon a slightly used, mint condition C100 for 2000$ usd here in Canada. True, the original C100 is strictly a 1080p camera with no slow motion capabilities and a crippled codec that does not grade well, but I'll couple it to a Blackmagic Video assist monitor / Prores recorder. For my needs, that`s going to be good enough for now. I'll rent an FS7 when I will need slow motion.
I wish you a lot of creative fun with your new FS5, and all the best for 2016!
