IsleOfRed Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I rather see more lens made available, thou having said that, I only use Nikon and m42 lens on my 5n due to the amazing focus peaking mode. On a different note, I am planning to shoot my first feature film on my 5n at around April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenogears Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 "Just H.264 at 50Mbit 4-2-2 (no AVCHD standards crap thanks! And I don’t care about 10bit, LOG, external HDMI recording, etc.)" And if is AVCHD then give me a clean uncompressed HDMI output. My wishlist: Proper audio options, XLR inputs, manual audio adjustment with no AGC, headphone for monitoring. Dual mount system A-mount and E-mount (i don´t know if this is possible but supplicate is free) Buttons, buttons!! for Christ sake (VG20 touch screen is a disaster) No weird form factor. Oled viewfinder Resuming, something like the Canon XA10 but using Nex5n sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well they really must have 10 bit uncompressed out, ND filters, Dual recording at a minimum of 35mbits, Picture profiles to include an s log style setting and a crop mode all for around £5000. Cmon this should be easy now. Why? Because if they want to stay future proofed against the HDSLR's for at least a year they will need to. The cats out of the bag now so nothing to protect apart from losing future sales. I think many indie film makers have had enough of cameras like the Canon C300 and the F3 where they charge as much as they can get away with Usually more than a new car for providing a large sensor without the expense of supplying a decent lens. If they don't FINE they will lose out to the HDSLR's. Bring it on so many of us used to disapointment now were almost expecting it to be crippled.

moebius22 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I was hoping they deliver an upgraded version of the NEX-FS100 with better ergonomics and an ND filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzedekh Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I hope Sony isn't myopic enough to trot out another maximally 1080p camcorder. I think QuadHD "4K" capable at 10 to 12 bits and 4:2:2 would be good (heck, the FS100 supposedly can do 4:4:4, but only at 8 bits). I don't care about the form factor so much, as long as it can be kitted out for whatever configuration you need. With technology developing as quickly as it is, I think a sub-$4K price is reasonable. And I am interested in log profiles, since they tend to improve dynamic range (which, at this point should minimally be in the 12- to 14-stop range).

jtbullet Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I am amazed that sony wont do one thing: allow the hx9v to have manual lockable exposure, white balance, and focus. That would be a powerhouse. The lens could use an update to something a little more low light friendly, and with a constant zoom, but how hard can that be? It wouldnt replace anything, just be an incredible b cam for millions of people who already own other more pro cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainradio Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'd like to see them take a mulligan on the VG20 and do it right this time while adding XLRs or at least the option to add XLRs, which is not an unreasonable feature to expect on a $2k camcorder. Of course they're not going to do that, but I'm not so sure they can come up with a feature set that would justify another $1k in price without exceeding the specs of the FS100. Would be nice to see them get innovative with things like an electronic follow focus and selectable in-body stabilisation though. I think there would be a pretty good market for a more run-and-gun friendly large sensor camcorder. Hey Andrew, how are you going with your NEX-7 review? Pretty keen to see that.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted February 14, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted February 14, 2012 NEX 7 review coming very soon, it is taking a bit longer to cover absolutely everything on this one. But will be worth the wait. Also I am working on the 5D Mark II anti-moire filter review as well as Samyang 24mm F1.4 so busy time here at EOSHD HQ behind the scenes!!
