Administrators Andrew Reid 10,343 Posted February 23 Administrators Share Posted February 23 It's a complete game changer. Red box round the screen. Red line on the back. Red tally light on the top. But because this isn't noticable enough, the record button is illuminated! Thpriest and Xavier Plagaro Mussard 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I'll be waiting until SmallRig or Tilta release their Marine Flare Launcher cage add on for it just to be on the safe side.   Thpriest and newfoundmass 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trankilstef 179 Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 So this is the CINEMA camera we've all waited for ! Shutter angle, 4K DCI, timecode,  anamorphic modes, synchro scan, who cares about those shitty features when we have 18 tally lights around the body and that incredible grey color reminiscent of the Sony cinema line ! Oh and it says Cinema Line on the body itself, this is a testimony that this camera can actually be used to shoot real cinematic movies ! Waiting for the Netflix approval now ! Oh dear marketing people are well paid I hope. This camera is total BS.  Matins 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They figured that the problem existed from their previous cameras burning and blistering their customer’s faces... now Canon is getting into the game... it’s only natural... a true professional doesn’t have time to run to the fridge for an ice pack. This is perfect for run and gun facecooling!!! This is how you introduce a problem that never existed in the first place... and solve it too... brilliant.

Llaasseerr 27 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Welp, it's a very sexy design with Sigma FP vibes, but I'm really surprised it does not have true 24P and shutter angle control at minimum. It does not seem like it's truly compatible right now as a B or C cam with another Sony Cinema cam. And of course I was hoping they would add TC in. I do think there is bandwidth for further features to be added due to the active cooling. So maybe that is Sony's play here, and we will see some divergence from the a7sIII in the future. But we'll have to see. At this point I would definitely still look at the FX6 over this camera though. Trankilstef 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a workaround in mind with the a7sIII where if you recorded external raw to a Ninja V you could use the AtomX Sync module for TC in - but I haven't tried it.

Llaasseerr 27 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 If Sony did later add true 24P and shutter angle control to the FX3 there is zero reason why they could not do that with the a7sIII. But it may be enough to tip me to buy this sexy beast. Are you listening Sony? Holding off for now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Video Hummus 1,165 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Andrew is so right about this camera. When I saw the release I was like...OK so this is a worst A7SIII for $400 more with a XLR top handle but all the important cinema features are missing: No internal ND No XLR on body No audio controls on body Same shitty LCD screen without an EVF to save it No SDI They didn't even include a way to secure the HDMI PORT!

How is that not payment? They have to disclose that Sony didn't sponsor them or have control over the review in anyway, yet they send him all this crap as an implicit: "look at what you won't get if we don't like your review". Everybody knows if piss these companies off they won't include you in their YouTube marketing and you won't get free shit. newfoundmass and Trankilstef 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
