The FS-700 has much smaller pixels and a lot more of them. This normally means more noise and reduced sensitivity. We'll have to wait and see what happens in the real world. These days new cameras come out every year. So you have to be sure that the one you choose will provide what you need and then just be prepared for an updated model to come along fairly soon. I wouldn't get too hung up on not having the latest and greatest as other than the trend towards larger sensors, overall image quality has only increased by quite small increments over the last 3 or 4 years.

So even at 1920 x 1080 it will only be an 8 bit output, but it would appear that it is 4:2:2. Certainly the HDMI out is 4:2:2 and goes up to 60fps at 1920 x 1080. I've placed an order for one!

If there will be a difference in image quality...that would hurt!!! Alister,waiting for your review about the FS700 and maybe some comparison between FS700 and FS100 image quality. thanks Samer Aslan My FS-100 arrived just less than a month ago, i don’t need 4K but i do need ND filters (got the Heliopan ND)….it is the second time that i buy a camera from Sony and after one or two month a better one arrive..well, i’m happy with my choice because i won’t be paying € 3,000 more just to have nd filters.

Looking forward to your hands-on NAB report to find out what signals are coming out of the back when not shooting 4K. Lets hope they still support 4:2:2 when shooting 1920x1080.(as the FS100) But maybe this time at 10 bits? best regards Dennis Ersöz Yes, very interesting indeed.
