Sony NEX-FS700 sample videos now online

By site editor Dan Chung

Sony have today released the first sample videos from the NEX-FS700. The video features my friend Den Lennie (who created my DSLR training DVD alongside me) and various other filmmakers who have had a chance to shoot with pre-production cameras.

It was also very interesting to note that Sony met with Den to discuss camera development six months ago – clearly they are actively listening to shooters needs.

I look forward to hearing more about the cameras from these filmmakers in the run up to NAB2012. So far the super slow motion function especially looks very impressive.

Shooter Peter Prevec also featured in the video has written about it here.

My previous look at the tech specs of the camera are here.
