Sony FS7 Review Part 1

TCSTV was filmed on the Sony FS700 for over two years, and it produced some spectacular images. But now, the unofficial replacement, the FS7 has arrived. We take a very close look at the features and design of what may well become our new TCSTV camera. Check out Part 2 coming next week!

Order the FS7 from The Camera Store here:

Special thanks to Levi Holwell, Erin Thomson, Stephen Lemmer, Jill Logee, and Dave Paul.

The "run and gun package" picture of Jordan with the girl taking a photo behind is beyond awesome.

Really really great video.  I'd love it if you put a link to the FS7 in the video description so I could check it out at your store.

Great review!
Can't wait to see the part two review

I'm so excited for part 2. Sure this is a camera out of the reach of most of us but it's great seeing what's achievable with some of the best prosumer level kit. It's only a matter of time before that level of quality trickles down.

The great thing about camera store is that i dont need to watch the video before liking it. I know it will be great. Thanks guys !!!

Great Review. Loved the durability testing of the FS-7 ( and Jordan!)  :D

I'm not really a video guy, but I really enjoyed this review! Thanks a lot for making the effort to make this excellent review!

I always watch these videos thinking "I'd really want that, that looks neat!" and then I look up the price and realize "I really don't need that.. that's way to expensive for what I'd do with that" xD Still always fun to watch these tech rundowns. Looking forward to part 2.

Thinking about upgrading to the FS-7 for video reviews. What an investment though.

Excellent camera for pros and perhaps for TCSTV, but at 8000$+lenses I presume this one is not going to be one of your more popular videos...

As an idea, I propose you "The Video-AF Shootout": a direct comparison between the best performing cameras at the moment (NX1, 7DMKII, a6000...). Many people still don´t know about how well these cams track focus in video mode already, and it would be nice to see a direct comparison of their capabilities, maybe selliing a couple more cameras at TCSTV in the process...

Cheers guys.

I was looking for a channel like yours guys. I'm definitely subscribing

[PhinioxGlade]

Sounds very impressive. 4k to card is great. 180p super slow mo to end if card is amazing. Like the look of the new handled.

I'll never own or probably ever use one. But great review

[martinaee]

Whoa... how does that built in ND work? That's pretty slick.

Can i ask why you need a crew to handle an F5 ? (2:48)
