Having been working in the video business since 1988 I have amassed a great amount of knowledge of both the kit and production values over the last 30 years.

Very useful review – the night shots were stunning, very lifelike.
I have never seen such fabulous low light footage.
Thanks for that.
The only reason i did not buy one is Silly EX1 kind of VF and EX Codec…..so where does it leave FS100?
Nice review Philip, pretty informative. I get my hands on a F3 in 2 weeks and give it a test ride. In the moment i think I would prefer a FS100 – price>value wise. But who knows, can´t wait to do a side by side comparison.
best, Frank
You do know that these lenses are not actually dedicated to this camera? They are standard PL Mount, and work just as well on RED Arri etc. They are very good value for quality glass -just in a plastic body.
I’m confused, aren’t these PL lenses and don’t they work with any PL lens camera or adapter? Otherwise beautiful images.

Actually these lenses will also fit on the F65 just fine!
Great review, thank you! just a question, which is the music playing during the second night footage segment?
