Shield3 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 That being said, I probably wouldn't use the FS700 without the recorder. You wouldn't use it without the recorder? Have you become a 4k snob? I wouldn't use it probably without the speedbooster, but I find the image lovely coming straight off the camera (well, some light grading). It looks better than the 1dc did in FF mode.I realize I'm on the wrong forum if I'm thrilled about getting a camera from 2-3 years ago, but I love this FS700. I don't need to use my LCDVFE anymore, the audio is much better, I'm saving HD space and workflow time. My wife's entire family was here yesterday - total of 7 kids - went out and shot and was able to just throw the SD card into the USB on the TV and watch it back right away - same for the Halloween footage last night. Yes I'd love to have the 7q but it'd never work out for handheld run and gun stuff. I will probably pick up an A7s2 once the price drops a bit, but of course I'll have to remember to bring my external mic and ND filer set (with step up adatpers). I don't know guys - this change makes me excited about shooting again, which is all that matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield3 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Bah. It looks really good to me. My Sigma 18-35 1.8 will be here in a couple days - can't wait to use that with the speedbooster.I cannot stop shooting either 1FPS timelapse type stuff or 240FPS. I bought the little $100 18-55 IS and the AF in video mode is way better than I though with face detection. Great little camcorder, this FS700.

The down sampled 1080p/10 bit/422 Pro Res files are very nice as well. I don't think the Sigma 18-35 is going to cover that sensor with a speed booster. If you get the non speed booster version, it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get the non speed booster version, it will. I'll find out soon enough. I have the regular EF Metabones adapter as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
