Sony FS7

Greetings fellow b-rollers!

I am thinking about a 2K/4K camera. I was originally looking at a Sony F5, (as I was renting an F3 with Fuji Cabrio lenses on a semi-regular basis), but I am seeing the Sony FS7 as becoming hugely popular (just like the C300 was a top rental 3 years ago) I am really liking this camera, esp. since Fuji has the new 20-120mm Cabrio and it looked sexy in the brochure mounted on the FS7. I do mostly corporate and some sports and documentary stories. Looks like some killer slo-mo on this camera, and looks like robust broadcast codecs.

Also, looks like F5/55 are more of a cinema camera made for commercials and movies, with a camera assistant and all that jazz, and the FS7 is more of an ENG/run and gun type of setup, thus more practical for my purposes.

What are your thoughts on this camera?

A friend of mine has one and loves it. He stays working with it, and also works with a guy with a F55 for two camera shoots.

Yes, I had the chance to shoot with an FS7 yesterday, and it's definitely a solid camera. It's a winner in my book.
