Re: Sony NEX FS10
I was just checking this camera out. It is incredible! Super 35mm CMOS is amazing.
Here is more info http://crews.tv/blog/2011/03/22/sony-fs-100-enters/

Was the music video on the same page shot with it?

Re: Sony NEX FS10
It's actually called FS-100 and I believe the retail price is $5850.

Aye, this seems to be the main disadvantage of such a short registration distance on a video mount. They should've at least included a digital ND variant.

... and the Panasonic AG-AF100 has it built in. It does look like a strange omission from Sony's side. Maybe they were desperate to hit a price point, and have shaved off everything they thought weren't necessary.

Does this exist?
>Maybe they were desperate to hit a price point, and have shaved off everything they thought weren't necessary.
I think it has more to do with the form factor and also the E-Mount is larger in size. For indoors and low light NDs don't matter though. The try to compete with the HDSLRs (e.g. 5DII).

Re: Sony NEX FS10
MUST I have them, no one of them less then $ 111?
Yes, some people believe: there is no life without such things ...
Oooouuuuhhh sorry ... photographing 10.000s of pictures, making 1000s videos within 30 years I NEVER needed ND filters.

Re: Sony NEX FS10
ustein, from what I understand, there has been some kind of digital ND option on other cams, but it certainly isn't a good as a real ND.
hot, for a camera in this range, leaving off ND filters is very strange. Now people are gonna have to load up matte boxes, which isn't ideal. For semi/professional video makers shooting at wide apertures, ND is a necessity. How many professional movies have you made in bright sunlight at f2 without an ND filter?

If they would find a solution with good quality this would work with all HDSLRs. An optical ND is hard to create in these small bodies (maybe slide in solutions).

>Isn't there a filterthread or a way to put a compendium in front of the lens?
Of course.
1. Compendium makes camer bulky (e.g. for nature documentaries)
2. Screwing in filters is no fun either (changing lenses of filter strength)
All slow and tedious for certain styles of filming. I have the AF100 and find it a key feature.

Re: Sony NEX FS10
I know, I know. My question was more like a statement. You guys make it sound this camera is supposed to be professional tool that is seriously flawed... What did you expect for this kind of money?
Which 'pro' is going to shoot / follow focus @ f2.0 with a sensor this big, with lenses of E-mount quality as mentioned above? (adapted HQ lenses? Might just as well hang them in front of a pro camera) Productions that have the ambition to make pro-looking video aren't going to buy this nice little enthusiast camera. Professional videos are made in a slow and tedious manner.
Some of the remarks above sound a bit snobbish to me. Just my 2 cents, no offence intended, just trying to put this in perspective, of course you guys have a point, an ND-option would have been nice. So is an Alexa

But those productions use Canon 5DII cameras (e.g. Dr. House).

No problem, there are many adapters available.
