Sony NEX FS700 - 4k

I found that shooting 240fps and then stretching it a bit more (240 over 60p for less aliasing!!! not over 24/25) is satisfying....also, the state of affairs:

I do 240 on 30p. So is this final clip 60p or is it 30p when uploaded?

I don't know if they are manufacturing this stuff poorly or what, but I had a 'first' camera that I sent back and had to get a replacement. It wouldn't focus good on auto focus, really screwy. Like would lock to the background and wouldn't focus on close up things, had to put into manual to and then back to auto to fix. Anyway, I sent it back and got another. The weird thing was on the first one looking at the sensor it had some dust but the dust was not on the outside, it was on the inside of the glass cover. The new one is perfect... so far ;-)

I didn't think I would but I'm loving this slow motion stuff.
Keep uploading!

The problem with such expensive camera systems exclusively for stock footage is the high probability that the ROI will be many long years in the future.

But slow-mo is mesmerizing,

If I had a FS700 on hand, I would definitely study the whole s-log setups. Now that from what I have seen really makes a difference. Here is a pretty cool explanation of what it does and the has a neat video to show what it does:

While both the C300 and FS700 are great cameras for production video they are just to expensive for shoot footage only.

The s-log is an upgrade which cost another $3800 that pushes the FS700 over 10 grand.

Jason, there is no s-log available for fs700, where do you find this info? There are picture profile setups to resemble it, and those are free.

Scott here's the link Vader posted "s-log for dummies" above mine check it out.
