Does an fs-7 scene file work on an F5 and will this give me the exactly same look as on the fs-7?

They will be extremely close but there are some very small processing differences between the two cameras.

Alister, are you talking about being able to somehow read the FS7's scene file directly into an F5? - or are you talking about manually transposing the numeric settings?

Oops, 10 seconds after posting I realized the question is about the F5 and not FS5.

Way to jump the gun, Doug. Just kidding. (_8^(|)

Anything new in your world?

Yeah, I actually had written a detailed reply about matching the FS7 and FS5, but then it turns out that was a waste of time so I deleted it all into the trash bin of cyberspace. Gotta get new glasses. Seriously between needing stronger reading glasses every year and my dyslexia I can barely see the difference betwee FS5 and F55 if I'm not careful about it.

What's new? I'm teaching three different production classes in Maine for three weeks using my FS7/FS5/F55 while also trying to squeeze in some early morning and evening shooting with my Z150 to get a handle on it's capabilities. Pretty impressive camera for $3200.

Doug, I have the same problem with my eyes. The Sony Z150 looks very nice. I would love to see some of your footage shot with it.

I'll try to upload some Z150 footage when I get back home next week. I'm very interested to see how it all looks in post myself.

Hi Doug,

Hope your summer is going well. Z150 does look like a nice option for me while offshore.

Your wish is my command. Here's some Z150 stuff I shot last week and graded today.

Nice looking stuff, Doug. Really nice.
