THE SHOULDER PAD Is too small to be effective
FS7 does not feature a side LCD screen for menu access
hasn t already started to dominate that area
The rear adapter is also required for RAW output
a camera is only as good as its optics
excessive and lead to a noticeable loss of shadow detail
exhibits little apparent increase in noise
Those tend to get a little bit darker on the long end
This is a weak spot on the camera
rod connection to the EVF might be the weak point to the camera design
the lens has a minimum focal distance of 16 inches
The image between the two is indistinguishable
Audio is a nightmare and the form factor is ludicrous
slow
slow
slow with many features buried within
slow motion there will be no audio recording
Very Poor menu design and functionality
mounting process is a bit more cumbersome
snail-paced menu system
The aperture control is on the slow side
small LED panels and a diffusion disc
MKII rarely would ever need RAW recording
it s not a perfect cinema camera
it only records a 6K image

Sony FS7 Review by Brian Hallett - ProVideo Coalition

I take Sony’s latest 4K camera through the paces. I wanted to see the camera’s weakness/strengths as well as how it pairs with an F5 and A7s. Lastly, I hook up Convergent Design’s Odyssey 7Q+ to see what 2K at 240fps really looks like. Grab a beer and sit down this is going to [...]Read More... from Sony FS7 Review
