#SonyFS7 #FS7 #sonycine
I've been obsessed with this camera since it came out. This was the moment a truly professional look became accessible to average owner/operators.
*Tyler Stalman has entered the chat*
@@vlcheish hahaha
I still use this camera today. So many ‘new boys’ like to say it’s big and clunky, but you can’t ignore what incredibly good value this camera has to offer. Variable built in ND, 4K, great IO, I just think it’s the perfect workhorse! Plus clients love a big camera 😂
mine too:) what lenses do you like to use mostly?
@@user-ne3zr9er1h I use canon, I know shoot me. 50mm 1.2 and 24-70mm 2.8
@@user-ne3zr9er1h 18-110mm servo zooms and a vintage Carl Zeiss 21mm Distagon wide angle lens on a Speed Booster = 90 degree AoV and F/1.9 at the sensor. True magic!
@@user-ne3zr9er1hI use mine without lenses. Its actually a great image even without lenses
What a time to be alive man. Proud owner of the FX6. A Full Frame low light monster with amazing Autofocus. The FS7 was the foundation for Sony’s current success. Look at how far Sony has come.
Creating the E Mount was one of their best decisions ever.
I have 2x FS7s and absolutely love them. Use them for docos and alike. Fully kitted out both. They are robust and can take a beating. I do like the FX9 but cant see the point in getting one when the FS7 does everything I want.
fs7 + joel famularo luts = amazing
FS7 is still my main bread & butter camera in 2023 for corporate and run & gun. I've had many other cine cams from Canon C line to BlackMagic but this one has stuck and held through the test of time. I love how it can go from tripod to ENG style shoulder-cam. I am thinking of adding an FX3/FX30 as B-cams and would love to upgrade to an FX6 but the FS7 still provides perfectly clean IQ and with a speed booster I can get FF FoV out of it..
mine too:) what lenses do you like to use mostly?
try the Carl Zeiss 21mm Distagon on a Speed Booster. Align the backfocus first then see what one of the world's best wide angle lenses can do on an FS7.
I look forward to an FX60, an FX30 in a camcorder form factor similar to FX6, to truly replace FS7.
We never got the FS7, but we did get five FS5 cameras that are still in faithful service. It’s low light capability is less than our C70, but other features make the FS5 indispensable.
Let's not forget about Sony FS5 which was equally important in filmmaking and ENG.
Revolutionary actually.
I have both the 5 and the 7. They compliment each other perfectly, although the FS5 was never a 4K camera like the 7 is.
I'm tryin to get a FS5
@@DRACOFURY get it only if you need the features (XLR, sdi, form factor) or want to use an external recorder for raw. If you don't then get a mirror less camera like Sony A7IV or Sony FX30.
No timecode and no 4k10 bit internal makes it a camcorder. Those internal nds are nice tho
I think first camera change filmmaking is VDSLR cameras - Canon 5D Mk2 😉
you are absolutely right
While I was able to make some money from it, I made much more with the FS7. However, the Mkii gave me inexpensive access to a camera I could practice being a cinematographer with a "cinematic" look. It Got me in the game. Also, the lack of dynamic range FORCED me to light shots properly and my Mkii reel is better than my Run and Gun FX3 content.
Planning to make a video just on this!
I'd say Sony a7s2 is just as, if not more, revolutionary to filmmaking where big production used it for lowlight shots not possible by any other cinema camera at that time.
With all the working Pros in Australia dumping FS5s and FS7s for the FX6, I've been able to pick up both FS5 and FS7 cameras for literally peanuts. My most recent acquisition, an FS7 came with a 'free' 18-110mm servo zoom, a lens that sells here for nearly A$6K. Price paid? just A$3K for the complete package. That's about US$2Kso a bargain in anybody's currency. I have both cameras rigged for 'on the shoulder' ENG style shooting with matched 18-110mm lenses where I capture 10bit 422 HD to integrated Samurai Blade SDI recorders. Whilst the FS7 is a proper 4K camera, the FS5 never was but with both cameras capturing fast turnaround 10bit DNxHD to low cost SSDs, I bump my final programmes to 4K using Topaz VAI, which produces a better, more time & cost effective result than capturing and editing internal 4K.
Just revived a new set of cinema primes that were ex-showroom, amazing condition and speedy shipping as always. Highly recommend CVP
Haha oh man thats so cool! Shooting a music video for uni right now on a fs7 and its my first time using a professional film camera, has been an amazing experience so far!
My First professional camera, i still use It for long conferences where I have to record for all day ❤ I love the fx6 got the same buttons positioning
Canon 5D mark ii was the one
Bit suprised to see a hockey game with Djurgården in your video. Nice video, wish my FX3 had built in ND's but you can't really have it all I guess
each time I watch your videos, I wanna buy the camera you're presenting... lool
informative video good camera still. Thanks CVP.
Yup. Still use the FS7 on a regular basis. Paid them off 50x over and they still deliver what the clients want. Don't see this changing for quite sometime.
So true! Almost 10 years old, and we still use the FS7. Rugged, reliable and really beautiful footage. We shoot primarily DCI 4K, CINE EI, XAVC-!. It's a combination of ENG and cine. An outstanding doc camera. When properly setup, it is still far from being obsolete. The 21st century digital version of the Arriflex 16SR.
i own an fx3 now and still find myself renting an fs7 for some shoots. it just does the job so well, might even buy one again soon.
Still have mine. Can't bring myself to sell it. It's a good back up and 2nd camera for my Fx6
I wish this kind of camera was the go-to form factor for affordable video rather than the mirrorless we have today. Once you try the camcorder, filming handheld on a mirrorless/DSLR will feel like ass
It's fun to see that old Sony F35 in your videos! It's been shown a couple of times by now. I recognize it, cause it's the camera I bought from you guys last year 😊
Nice! would love to see some of the F35 footage!
Good video. That guy is smart and delivers well.
Used the FS7 for my first few years in corporate/commercial video. Image stills holds up today! Menus sucked haha
Menus def sucked, but once you set up the user menu, and assigned every button switch and dial, there was little reason to go below the first selection.
4:21 His back is on fire 🔥🔥🔥!!!
still loving and using it today with the 18-105mm and the great sigma 18-35mm! 8 years and counting:)
Always preferred the image out of an EVA1, but the FS7 was already established and the E mount made it more flexible platform
Honestly I think Sony just out spent Panasonics marketing. The EVA1 was better than the FS5/7 on paper, and EF lenses were all the rage back then due to lack of good E mount lenses under 2500.
@@user-f5xt2op9t Sony got in first and had a package of cameras in same mount.
E mount couldquickly use EF, F or PL with simple adapters where EVA1 needed a screwdriver.
Sony arrived first and captured the market the EVA1 tried to get into, which by then was sadly full
Love this camera. We shot 99% of a feature doc with it (Fashion Reimagined) and I bought a used one last year and it still delivers great quality for my clients needs. Though I also love to work with the FX series 🎉
what lenses do you like to use mostly?
so cool and proffesional.
still incredible camera
A-Roll should’ve been “Shot on FS7” revealed
I’m honestly thinking about picking one up. They are priced way less than a fx6 and I’m very amateur. I think I could still get a lot of life out of it
Just shot some event coverage with this camera yesterday and continuing with it today! Still a fantastic camera with a great image!
what lenses do you like to use mostly?
@@user-ne3zr9er1h I'll typically use our Fujinon MK18-55 or adapt our Canon CN-E 18-80 onto it! The kit lens is also a great little lens for more generic stuff.
@@NickLanger trouble with the 28-135mm kit lens is that it is a FF lens so ideal for an FX6. The better lens for the FS7 is the 18-110mm servo zoom. Longer range, parfocal, constant aperture and a proper manual focus too.
@@CraigMarshall_HDvideo4K Ah, I was unaware they had updated the kit lens, but it makes a lot of sense. Yeah the 18-110mm that originally came with the FS7 is the way to go!
@@NickLanger I think that when the FS7 was first released, the Super 35 18-110mm was not ready so they shipped it with the same looking but shorter range Full Frame 28-135mm. Everyone complained about the lack of wide angle and the 18-110mm fixed that. Those that kept their 28-135mm zooms find them ideal on the FF FX6.
it's been over 2 years since I've used mine on a gig...if I didn't see this video I wouldn't have remembered that I had one 😀😀...just hard to sell for 2k when you paid 10k for it...these things are like used cars
Can pick up w XDCA for 1500 today. You made your 10K back and then some, let it go, haha.
6:33 Actually, Sony's electronic variable ND was first introduced in their PXW-X180 & PXW-X160 camcorders.
It's a great camera. As ever, a camera is just a tool and you need the right one for the job, but certainly for those at the lower level of things and people who just want to get going it's a great buy on the 2nd hand market.
No this camera is not for lower end. Is used by professionals so have some respect
@@katflorida8349 I do respect it, I have one. I'm a professional. It's good for docu type stuff (although the fx6 has now replaced it) But it is for low end filming. Most cinema film work and High end drama is shot on 35mm Arris or the like.
Great camera !
Best camera ever.
just bought one and whole set Kase filters for it. Hope it's worthy.
I wonder why the Canon C300 Mark III hasn't taken off as much, even as the Mark II holds onto a top 10 rental spot. The camera is ergonomically leaps ahead of the Mark II, and its DGO sensor's DR and the camera's overall IQ is better than anything else below the $15,000 price point (and much nicer then the FS7 and even FX9, IMO).
C300 is much more expensive to be honest, sony has FF in fx3 and fx6, where fx6 is half the price.
I love my c70 which has the same sensor as c300 but sony is just less problematic choice because of lens options
@@filmowaniezprofitem That's true and full frame is all the rage. Just interesting that the Mark III still hasn't broken the top 10 while the Mark II, FS7, and FS7 II are all still there - price can't be hugely different to rent between those four.
At this day and age, the top 10 most rented cameras are below $6000 mark, with Sony FX6, Red Komodo, Canon C70 leading the pack.
Form factor is a big part of it. FS7/FX9 go on the shoulder with one piece of gear, FS5/FX6 goes on a gimbal by just removing the top handle. C Series rigs always have odd balance and weight distribution purely from a physics standpoint.
Thumbnail totally looks like a DSLR Shooter video
Mades tons of content on this camera. From Stills lenses, B4 lenses, and Cooke S4.
When 422 10 Bits was out of reach for a mirorless camera ;)
Colors were ugly af, and it made me learns grading, and luts.
Still a great camera with its quirks, just like the modern ones ;)
If same this camera rec 777 hours still worth it?
any problems with back-focus in combination with a zoom-lens (like SELP28135G)?
What's the name of the documentary shown as Broll about esport/video games?
For filming will go
I thought it's Venice 1 new for me because I'm not that old in the filmmaking industry so let Watch the video.
I used an FS7 for a couple years, doing a variety of productions. It was indeed a versatile camera but it was never able to achieve a truly cinematic look. It got close but there was always something off about the images it was producing. I was able to achieve a very close cinematic result through post processing but it was a lot of work and ended up not really being worth the time investment. The FS7 was definitely a good camera though.
Would you say the nex fs100 has a more cinematic look?
@@katflorida8349 Cinematic look has FAR more to do with lighting and lens/filter. It takes resources, not just a camera. Don't buy into that nonsense.
The FS7 wasn't able to achieve a cinematic look, or YOU weren't able to achieve it with this camera? This camera was designed as a single operator, documentary/ ENG style camera. It was never dubbed CineAlta which is Sony's Cinema camera line. A true cinema camera will NEVER be designed as a single operator camera.
I'm a C70/C200 owner and I've just purchased an FS7ii for corporate work. I'm surprised at how different this camera is from the Canons. The variable ND is a killer and the colours seem to be more accurate than my C70 although less flattering on skin. It is also a much more involved camera to use and configure, but although the image is really good. I really prefer the form factor over the C70 the shoulder setup is more in keeping with my shooting style. I thought I would miss the autofocus of the C70 but so far I'm enjoying the manual focus; just need to get a more suitable lens.
Sony's 18-110mm servo zoom is the most versatile lens on my FS7. Par focal & constant aperture.
Could you do the same on the Panasonic EVA-1?
Whats your thoughts on the FS5 if you were to buy it today?
FS7 is worth the small difference in cost for the XAVC-I codec alone. XqD cards will set you back, but the FS5 needs RAW option and external recorder to put out a comparable 4k image.
Fair point but for an entry level videographer I'd say the FS5's size is great especially for after movies.
I bought one for 1350 euro which I'd say is a steal these days @@user-f5xt2op9t
I feel like sony are getting thier dues now with the fx6/9. It seemed to me the canon c line always overshadowed the fs5 and fs7 which i didnt think was really fair .
Not according to the graphic of rental data they showed.
Will you do the f65?
God that grainy SLOG3 was such a unique time hahaha
$9,000 is the answer for anyone wondering.
my serial number is 23,144
:)
Nope for for me, ill never use a sony again. Everyone knows that sony is garbage anyway. dont waste your money :D
rofl no loss for Sony.
Very Nice Sony Camera 💯❤👍🙏 New Subscribe
