Had my first chance to physically touch an FS7 yesterday.
Loved the balance of it on my shoulder when you had the additional XDCA-FS7 Extension Unit with V-mount battery attached.
But you will never do a "snap zoom" or extreme close up with the 28mm to 135mm zoom lens. Have to say it was the strangest lens I've ever touched.
The guy I was with had brief hopes of using it to shoot sports...and that will never happen.
Still a great deal for a camera to achieve a 4K product and record a Pro Res file internally. That Pro Res option with the Extension Unit is what really brought me in to satisfy my curiosity.
The last little "niggle" I had about the camera was you were never going to briefly set it flat on the ground without it resting on the viewfinder. Yes, if one takes the time to undo the rosette and swing that arm out of the way all the time but...who really wants to do that?
Went in thinking this camera was a definite possibility for a lot of things...and came away with my expectation "wish list" severely shortened.
