Some tantalizing details on the 4K upgrade for the Sony NEX-FS700:
Encouragingly this 4K firmware update is ‘weeks away’ according to Sony, unless that strategy changes or any unforeseen consequences occur. I asked about pricing and I am told it will be similar to the S-LOG upgrade for the Sony F3 which currently retails for £500 + VAT at CVP in the UK. It is just a firmware update.
Exploring Frame Rates and Resolutions On A Phantom Flex High Speed Camera
| Tom Guilmette | Blog
In most cases during our test, in order to capture a bullet leaving the barrel of the gun, we had to be out on the open range. The Phantom was not doing well under the shade of the small roof that was over our heads. You will see in some of the 10,000 frame per second shots, the footage is grainy. I had to work on it in post because it was so dark in the Phantom Flex viewfinder and resulting file. The Zeiss CP2 85mm f2.1 was really struggling near the end of the day to allow us to get usable stuff at super high speed.
