Sony FS700 in for testing

We’ve seen some reviews about the new Sony FS700 lately, but this camera is too important to be taken lightly. Let’s see what we can add to that pool.

Great Sony FS700 review by Matthew Allard

Good for us: Matt from dslrnewsshooter had the chance to work with a production version of the new Sony FS700 for several weeks and we can enjoy some good professional comments on the device.

In this review he points out the most relevant pro’s and con’s of the camera. Together with other reviews this one gives a pretty good picture of what you can expect from the much anticipated FS700. So if you’ve been interested or have already pre-ordered and want to get some more insights then you should really check out this very good 20-minute overview.

There’s nothing else to add from my part. I enjoyed Matt’s take and I’m looking forward to do some more testing on the camera myself soon.

If you haven’t pre-ordered you can do it here (camera is expected in mid July):
