Great camcorder. I returned it because the weight was too heavy for my purposes. Well made construction and usual Sony quality.

I use it for filming live indoor events (dance ,theatre, concert) and also in natural light. Great in low light. The sensor has a bit of a hard time with heavily saturated purple/blue stage lights but expected. Just a great overall camera. I use the 18-200 for the range; not the best lens but nice and practical and glad I got it. I use also the Canon 24-105 f/4L with electronic adapter; great image quality.

The Sony Alpha A77 Mark II is the first new A-mount translucent mirror DSLR camera Sony has introduced in over a year, scotching rumors that the mount was being abandoned for the E-Mount format. The A77 MII sports a new 24MP sensor....
Great camera

I use it for filming live indoor events (dance ,theatre, concert) and also in natural light. Great in low light. The sensor has a bit of a hard time with heavily saturated purple/blue stage lights but expected. Just a great overall camera.

The NEX-FS100U super 35mm sensor camcorder is Sony's first fully professional large-sensor video camera. Hot on the heels of the PMW-F3, this compact, highly modular camera uses the same S35-size CMOS sensor as the F3. Unlike smaller, broadcast-style sensors or the larger "full-frame" sensors of some DSLRs, the NEX-FS100's imaging area matches that of standard Hollywood film cameras, providing complete compatibility with cine-style film lenses (via optional adapters) as well as any of Sony's E-Mount lenses.
The sensor's large size offers a variety of other advantages, including increased control over depth of field, higher sensitivity in low light, lower image noise, and an exceptional dynamic range. Able to shoot full 1080p video in a range of frame rates up to 60p, the FS100 provides the option of recording 28Mbps AVCHD footage onto SD or Memory Stick media, or it can output uncompressed 4:2:2 video (with embedded timecode) and RGB via HDMI 1.4 to an external recording unit. Simultaneous recording to both is also possible when instant backup is called for.
There's no stinting on audio, either, as the camera includes not only a shotgun microphone with mount/carrying handle, but dual XLR inputs for recording uncompressed, professional-level sound from an external source. Other features--such as a rotating 3.5" XtraFine LCD panel with detachable viewfinder, SD recording, GPS geotagging, and slow shutter--make the FS100 an impressive companion to other cameras in the S35 line.
Not only will it intercut perfectly with the F3, F35, or SRW-9000PL as a 2nd unit or B camera, it can stand on its own in applications as diverse as indie film, commercials, music promos, education, and wedding videos.
