I realize this is a forum/rumor site dedicated to the Alpha style cameras but I was wondering if there has been any talk of Sony's camcorders being updated in the near future?

 

thanks, jeff

Are you talking about Pro Camcorders or Consumer Camcorders?  At NAB this year Sony Pro Camorders had updates but nothing new.  The FS5 and FS7 (4K) are selling well.  Panasonic Vericam LT is also doing well but starts at around $18K...

thanks for the response jccash.  I'm really looking forward to an update to the ax53.

 

I like the idea of thinking of camcorders not as Pro model verses consumer model and more as Permit model non-permit model - Use the Permit model out in public and someone is going to shut your project down unless you've gone through the hassle of paying the location permit tax. <_<  (yes larger productions should be required to get location permits as they can overwhelm a situation )

 

Seeing that the events are over, maybe no updated models this year

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
