BrorSvensson Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Seeing as the FS100 can be found for as low as 700$ on the used market it is really a compelling option if you dont need 4k. If anyone have used one how do you find it? Is the 1080p any sharper than the other 1080p sonys and hows the dynamic range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's quite a deal - I've not seen one for under £1000 in the UK, and I've been keeping half an eye out for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 15, 2016 Super Members Share Posted March 15, 2016 I saw it to Ive had it. Its a nice camera. Weak codec but nice. The great thing is that you can dial in some nice PPs that doesn't need any grading. BrorSvensson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mess around with the Glog setting? i've heard you can get some decent DR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If you can spend double (or triple) then a Sony F3 will be a way better deal. But at least now there are E mount adaptera with a variable ND filter built into it that you could use with a FS100 BrorSvensson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"s" is lower case when it should be uppercase like this: FS100 Also he is a time traveler from the past who has traveled into the future to ask us about a camera. Very sensible move! I always try to do the same before buying my cameras as hindsight is golden. BrorSvensson and Mattias Burling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krang Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I still use my FS100 a lot... There's just something about the quality of the footage that is classic and clean. Below are two videos I did with the FS. The cam is light, and despite being plasticky, it's a workhorse and can take a beating (mine has). It can be used with a super minimal set-up too, which comes in handy for low budget projects where you want quality but need to move quickly / no permit etc. The FS100 + E-mount 35mm or 50mm lens is only a little bigger than a DSLR- And with the flip LCD screen on top, you can shoot from the belly/lap and be pretty discrete. Also a huge plus if you need good sound, you can go directly into cam (XLR). * I should add that some of the desert B-roll in the first video (shot out of the car) was with an A7S. Everything else with the actors was FS. I think the FS footage looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
