The FS700 uses the same Sony E-mount for lenses as the FS100, but you can purchase adapters that allow you to attach other lenses from Sony, Canon, Nikon, and even large cinema Positive Lock (PL) mount lenses. The button controls also now protrude slightly higher above the body surface for improved tactile feedback. The adjustable handgrip mounting point is more secure and an XLR port is closer to the front of the camera to make it easier to connect a mounted microphone. Another nice touch is the addition of a removable handle with two accessory shoes and several 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch mounting points for other accessories. The mechanism that controls the ND filter setting is a bit fussy to get set just right, but it is still a marked improvement over external ND filters. One of the best new features are three built-in Neutral Density (ND) filters, alleviating the need to spend money and time buying and mounting external filters. The FS700 packs a lot of new features into a body that is slightly larger than the FS100, yet looks and feels nearly identical in practice. This year Sony is upping the ante even more with the NEX-FS700, featuring an improved 4K-ready sensor, super slow-motion, and several design improvements from last year’s FS100.Ĭhange Is Good.Mostly Sony-FS700-camcorder-NDfilter-iris-focus-controlĮven though the FS700 and FS100 look very similar, there are several key differences that give the FS700 an edge over last year’s model as well as the competition. Featuring interchangeable lenses and Sony’s new Exmor Super35 sensor, this camera brought high-end features and performance together at an affordable price. In 2011, Sony released the NEX-FS100 as its first small-bodied, large-sensor video camera for the professional market.
