Hallo,
this time i need really your impressions about a choice to make. Is it a better cam The Fs-100 or Pana 100?
I have many Nikon lenses to mount so i could save lot of $$$ without buyng Sony lenses......
I heard Sony don't have any ND filter right? I read even that F100 doesn't handle highlights very well
Do anybody out there has the chance to try em both?
Many thanks

Have you seen Philip Blooms video shootout? This should answer almost everything - it did for me.

Large chip camcorder comparison: AF100 vs F3 vs FS100. Includes FS100 review in Part 2 | Philip Bloom (http://philipbloom.net/2011/05/05/bloomshootout/)

I bought the FS-100.

Need internal ND Filters and SDI? -> AF100
Want the best picture? -> FS100

simple as that ;)

If you have an FS100 and really need HD-SDI, try the AJA HA5:

HA5 - AJA Video Systems (http://www.aja.com/products/converters/converters-hd-ha5.php)

With the extra cost and the need for some sort of power solution, it's not exactly the best solution to rubbish HDMI cables, but if you're feeding Video Village, or especially if you need to feed a vision mixer, works great.
