In this video we take a deep dive into the decade old cinema camera the Sony NEX-FS700. I focus predominantly on plausible use case scenarios for the camera in 2024 but also dig into the general pros and cons of the camera. Sample footage with a variety of lenses including Nikkor AI-S 20mm F3.5.
This video was shot on Sony FX30 with footage from the Sony FS-700 interspersed throughout. SoundFX/Music was composed on Korg Kronos and colour grading and editing was done in Davinci Resolve.
