It s hard for me to understand why someone who need to record something for more than 30min would need a hybrid camera to start with, I mean that what C100/Fs5 are for and have much better ergonomics for interview/ event coverage.( especially regarding audio recording)
They are cheaper as well and have plug and play recording formats.
For me the advantage of a good hybrids are to be discreet and offer some help for run and gun situations ( stabilisation, good DR, descent codecs), and easy to carry around.
I shoot mostly MV and fashion related work ( did some interviews and video portraits as well as small commercials ), I on average the camera run for 2 to 3 minutes per take.
Keeping the camera recording non stop is plain stupid and end up being more expensive once you start editing.
I've never heard of that. I'm familiar with XAVC-I and XAVC-L, and a little bit of XAVC-S in my usage of my a9, but never heard of RS? In fact, I've never seen a Sony codec have anything other than a single character in that last position. Any chance you can back that up with a link to something official that describes more about it? Otherwise I claim your RS is BS, lol
