I have shot with the FS100 for 3 years now. It has made a lot of clients happy and made me a lot of money. Thanks for the article.
A real grip like a Zucuto will take care of the handle / mic issue. A real lens takes care of all other shortcomings.

Stop being a crybaby. You sound like a bitch. What Richard said seemed highly appropriate in regards to the poor article you wrote. Amateur.

If you heed anything on this post with regards to getting the FS100 then you’re even more clueless than he is. (This entire site seems a bit dopy and totally predictable. At least that britzacuto guy tempers his bs.)

I was searching for FS100 replacement parts and saw this entry’s ridiculous title and had to read it. For higher end use, this class of camera has about a 2-3 yr cycle before being obsolete. If you’re looking for certain builds in a Sony then go to the F3, but that will get you different issues and a different price. Everything from the Alexa to the iPhone have issues.

And, seriously, footage didn’t look like that on set/in the field but blew your socks off reviewing/screening in post? So, WideOpenCamera, knowing their readership, decided to run it?

People flappin’ around, “I’m a director. I’m a DP. I’m an editor,” is ridiculous. You’re videoJocks. Nothing wrong with it, but live it and love what you are: camera op, aspiring this/that/theotherthing. After meaningful experience and a body of work then think about waving titles around.

People who can’t do review. People who really can’t do blog.

The tripod mount base on the camera (the part under the Iris and focus buttons) is very flimsy I have discovered. I’ve had it attached to a tripod and carried it aroud on the tripod which has resulted in the whoe mount falling off revealing sheared screw mount in the camera body. When I took it apart I couldn’t believe how flimsy the structure and plastic is that is supposed to carry or be the pivot for the weight for the whole camera and lens. The plastic around one screw hole split open. This should have a solid metal base to screw into.

I think you are nothing coming from no ware. Your father cave you a camera and no you think you are a photographer and you can say what you want to who ever (My opinion of you personally) I have been sponsored by Canon, they can make mistakes too LOL. It is obvious that your experience is small town video cameras and your knowledge is almost none. Thats why you complain so much. Agsame!! Baby ….

In first place you sound like someone who never touch the nex-fs100; i own one since 10-2011 and work with it a lot, you can see a lot of my videos here https://vimeo.com/gecofilmschile/videos and I can tell you this camera is really modular, then you can make it as a tank or really light for rec and run; the low light is fantastic, no camera in the market are close to this one for the price, the only one near is the canon c300 and cost 3x the fs100; the slow motion is great at 60fps over 24p in 1920×1080; cameras like 7D or 5DmkII have about the half of resolution of the fs100 and noisier in hi iso, but ok they cost less and they are less, they have moire and aliasing, they record in line skiping, they have about 8 stops of latitud (fs100 is about 11,5 stops of latitud), so of course fs100 cost more but is not an expensive camera; is a great tool for profesional work and lerning courve in to Super 35mm sensor cameras.

I think your comments are well said and not that I have any ill feelings toward Sony, I do feel we are being given a lot of junk marketed with a lot of hype buy most manufacturers. I’m still waiting for a camera to make me want to buy it. I shoot with the 7d now and even with its limitations it still does the job well. So why should I spend thousands of dollars on a camera that isn’t going to be a classic. It cracks me up when a new camera hits the market and you read all the comments…wait a year and read them again, then you see what the camera is really worth.
