I've been using the FS700 since it was new. It is still my main camera all these years later and with an external recorder, the picture is still pretty awesome. This review is spot on pointing out the weight and the noise issues. Weight is a struggle but with the right exposure, the noise is pretty easy to mitigate. Alistair Chapman did a streaming episode with ProAVTV a few months back about the FS7m2 and he pointed out that every camera purchase is a business decision. I have a full calendar of bookings for filming and a list of happy clients so when I consider upgrading an FS7, FS5 or even the FX9 I have a hard time justifying the expense. I would love an FX9...I've watched the Philip Bloom movie TWICE but at $12,000 (after batteries, cards etc) I can't pull the trigger when the need just isn't there.....yet.
Noise yes but I also have the BMPCC6k and that thing is a light hog. Black Hole for light I feel like. I feel I get better results with the FS700 in low light.
Bought one about a month ago after watching some of your videos and this camera is absolutely amazing. I needed to film a music video and I wanted to sell it after to make profit but... I ended up falling in love with it ahahah
I appreciate videos like this. It's like watching the 5D classic videos and right after the prices jack up even more because of said video. Lol Thanks Caleb for tearing up my wallet.
Sony’s older cameras are amazing. And their new ones like the siii and fx9 are also amazing. They’ve been killing it. The fact their old cameras are still so capable is awesome
Thanks for posting this vid: This is made it a no brainer which cinema camera to buy. Got my fs700r with a mov cam cage, and having a blast finding long term accessories, thanks to you and your channel.
I remember using this beast for a music video in 2013 :) Half of our budget went for renting it for half a day! No RAW was available then, yet it was totally worth it for 200fps slow-mo shots alone.
I'd love to see the FS700 vs the F3 apples to apples in terms of colour, low light, and other aesthetic categories, especially the F3 slog vs fs700 slog2, it'd be really interesting to be comparing the XD-CAM tech the FS700 uses to the CineAlta tech the F3 uses in regard to the aesthetic quality
Love this camera! I have 3 FS700R - perfect for interviews and always tripod mounted. Thanks for the reminder that it's still a very useful piece of gear.
I'm so glad you made a video going over this camera. I own this and have shot a number of awesome visuals with this camera. I also am running the Shogun 7 with this camera and recording ProRes 422 in 4K. I have also done recording with ProRes RAW as well, and the detail is insane. I have noticed once you jump into ProRes RAW you do encounter much noise if you do not have enough light hitting the sensor. A fast lens, with a speed booster should help in that regard, but something to be mindful of for anyone looking to test that out for themselves.
Thank you for this review, I have same camera and recording 4K 12bit cinemaDNG with Atomos Shogun 7. It’s very interesting to know this camera working better of Sony FS7 when you want recover overexposure but in low light Sony FS7 working much better. Just my problem with this camera is noise but you can used noise reduction at the post. You can watch the videos I took with this camera in my RUclips channel, keep in mind I used noise reduction most of the time.
As someone who shoots with this camera pretty much daily, it is still an amazing camera to work with even after all these years and all the advancement in Tech. It really does hold up well. Love the image quality of them and you kind of figure out how to get around the ergonimics. I like the boxy feel with the top screen when going handheld personally. Also, the internal AVCHD holds up really well to being pushed around for an 8-bit codec, it's by no means perfect but I use S-Log2 on internal HD all the time and get pretty killer results.
I still use this camera in combination with an Odyssey 7q as a B-Camera to my RED Epic Dragon. It holds up extremely well. I also am still hired regularly to use it as an A-Camera for all day run N gun shoots. It really needs an external recorder...but then it becomes a lockness monster of potential people have forgotten about.
Hey man I recently got this camera and was wondering what PP settings do you use with filming externally ? I am not getting the video quality that I thought I would get
@@dr7productions789 SLOG2. I used an Odyssey 7Q external recorder which downsampled the 4K RAW into 10bit Prores or allowed me to also film in RAW. In both flavors, I still have amazing results. I can't vouch for other recorders as I have not used them, but this combo is still used all the time when mixing with my RED in edits. If you look up "BURT REYNOLDS INRODUCES THE NEW BANDIT TRANS AM", I shot all that with the 7Q, FS700 and an original A7S paired with a 7Q as well. You can find that video on RUclips. Any Trans Am video I made after that started including the RED and a lot of the shots are still this camera. You have to get into color grading though.
I mostly shoot on the pocket 6k & 4k today, but I still have my old FS700 and use it fairly often. The Sony E mount 28-135mm servo zoom is just phenomenal and the combo still works well today! It’s my go-to camera for sports. I just wish I could use that lens on my BMD cameras!
Hi, do you know why it has massive noises in shadows (daylight) when recording raw externally on n cine profile? In slog2 there is no noise, only to in PP5, PP3 etc...
People dramatically underestimated this camera, but I didn't! If you shoot two stops over in S-Log2, this camera's image is glorious. In fact, we JUST NOW upgraded to the FX9 and I still miss features that the FS700 has (coupled with a Shogun Inferno). Only people that REALLY know how to expose and grade correctly can access the hidden treasures within. Most people were put off because they don't know about overexposure compensated LUT's etc. etc.
I think since it outputs raw, the recorder just compresses that to the Prores Raw and other newer codecs outputting raw seems to give so many more options if you have an external recorder
@@AntonWongVideo I guess I'm just impressed the HDMI from 8 years ago was capable of outputting 4k 10bit 120p raw. Before such a standard was really conceivable/acheivable. That's future proof as heck
I used this camera for 8 years with the Odyssey7Q to get the raw. Even now after upgrading to the new Canon C300MK3, the difference isn't huge. This has to be the cheapest option for 4k raw uptown 120fps. Incredible for the price if you don't need AF
Hi Paul! You mentioned a while ago that you were planning to go for the Mavo LF. How come you decided against it? I personally prefer the image from the Mavo LF over the C300MK3. I feel like it’s closer to a Red.
@@SpeckiEggs I did go and try out the Mavo LF. I wasn't a fan of how it was built and I couldn't imagine using it in a corporate environment. In terms of the image quality, the LF was a cleaner image than my FS700 but similar dynamic range. The C300MK3 I can really see a difference in the dynamic range and the skin tones and colours are just wonderful. The image is close the what I've got out of an Alexa Mini. One other thing I absolutely love is the autofocus. I can honestly say I'll never go back to filming without AF. I can shoot interviews at F1.4 and know it will all be pin sharp. All the cameras that are out now are very close in performance to be honest so its personal preference but I know my C300MK3 will last me for at least 5 years so very happy with the purchase.
@@ereceeme I wanted to see sony raw vs bm raw how well they stack up against each other. The main focus of Caleb's video was the raw video output. The evf I could care less about but thanks for your feedback.
Kinda, but not really. Sony had their FS100 vs the C100. (and Panasonic the AF100) While Sony with their FS700 was competing against the C300 (the original mk1). The FS700 internal codec wasn't as good as the C300, wasn't as ergonomically designed as the C300, and the FS700 lacked a few other things like no TC. But the FS700 trashed the C300 when it came to external recording and slow motion. (the C300 couldn't even do 1080 60fps! While the FS700 could do upscaled 960fps internally!!! :-o )
Excellent review. Here in Brazil it is a very underrated camera. Mine doesn't change for anything, I use it exclusively in corporate jobs and some coverage of low light events. Despite the difficulty of handling, I preferred to adapt to it than to be like a madman wanting to buy each new camera model that the brands launch every month. If you have patience with it, you get great results. Still, I love the camera. With Atomos then, it’s not even mentioned, when I used it the first time I was impressed. If you keep an eye on maintaining the exposure in the right way, the noise does not interfere so much in my opinion. Congratulations on the channel.
At the very least, if you’re off doing a quick video favor for a friend of a friend, you Look way more Boss if set up one of These beasties rather than an A6000 series.
Really love this series. Ended up getting a Sony pmw-f3 from the recommendation from the last video. The image on it has great character. Definitely a great buy.
I still use it, it's an excellent camera, i even use it today for a TV show, i mostly use it for portrait subject, many people tell me to buy an fs7, but i don't know, i'm still in love with this camera like the first day
Bought this almost a year ago based on your recommendation! Shot for Netflix docs, personal work, and corporate work. Once I got around the awkwardness with an easy rig it’s a lovely little cam!
Great job as always! I’ve been following you for so long. I still remember my 1st tip from you on a cheap rig for my Panasonic GH1 using a Quick Release Plate and Magic Arm with a Grip! 🤣🤣🤣
This has been our main camera until past year, in which we got a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cámera 6K. But we are still in love with this one. Great machine, great image, good to work handheld and with the only problem that 4K wasn't able internally and you needed a big recorder like the Atomos Shogun Inferno, which eat batteries like I eat burgers.
been shooting with this for three years where I work my 9-5. Nice to see your take on it. You have anything to link to regarding "slope, knee" and the other functions in those PP settings etc? I don't totally understand all the terms. Admittedly, camera is not my strongest suit... yet. Nice vid regardless

Thanks for this Caleb. I hope you make more videos about how to get value out of older gear.
Good job bro & thanks for nice information about sony fs700u & fs700R

Fantastic review!ª!!!! thanks for sharing!!!
Wow. That footage actually looks amazing. 👏

I need more of these videos they are so good!
Bought this almost a year ago based on your recommendation! Shot for Netflix docs, personal work, and corporate work. Once I got around the awkwardness with an easy rig it’s a lovely little cam!
Try to find a sidefinder evf
Thank you sir it does help a lot appreaciate your work
Great video. I enjoyed it very much keep up posting such interesting videos. Will be back to watch more in the future
Awesome Video! Absolutely unique content!
I liked the form factor of these cameras a lot more. They were neat. Thanks for posting...
Great job as always! I’ve been following you for so long. I still remember my 1st tip from you on a cheap rig for my Panasonic GH1 using a Quick Release Plate and Magic Arm with a Grip! 🤣🤣🤣
Ooh which video is this? I wanna watch it!
This has been our main camera until past year, in which we got a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cámera 6K. But we are still in love with this one. Great machine, great image, good to work handheld and with the only problem that 4K wasn't able internally and you needed a big recorder like the Atomos Shogun Inferno, which eat batteries like I eat burgers.
So not any monitor can be used
been shooting with this for three years where I work my 9-5. Nice to see your take on it. You have anything to link to regarding "slope, knee" and the other functions in those PP settings etc? I don't totally understand all the terms. Admittedly, camera is not my strongest suit... yet. Nice vid regardless
Loved my old FS700. A workhorse for many years.
Great video Caleb 👊🏻😎
