Sony launched the newest professional camcorder in the market. It’s called the Sony NEX FS100. The Sony camcorder is the latest addition to the NXCAM Sony camcorder line-up. This Sony camcorder captures images that are broadcast quality.

The Sony camcorder has an Exmor CMOS sensor and adapts to a Super35 format, which is basically the same size as the APS-C sensor featured in the Sony E mount camera series.

You can record 1080p Full HD videos in various rates, depending on the region (60, 40 and 24 fps in NTSC countries as well as 50 and 25 in PAL). The Sony camcorder uses 28mbps bitrates.

Videographers would be interested to know that the NEX FS100 camcorder has solid features including XLR audio connectors, SDXC compatibility and Slow-motion video recording.

The price for the Sony NEX FS100 professional camcorder is US $5850, relatively cheaper than other professional video capturing gadgets.

Here is a statement from Sony:

Sony can now reveal the full specifications of the new NEX-FS100E. The NEX-FS100E is equipped with an “Exmor” Super 35 CMOS Sensor specifically designed for shooting motion pictures ideal for commercials and music videos, as well as action scenes in budget drama for example. This high sensitivity, large format sensor is capable of producing footage with shallow depth of field similar to that of a film camera for a new level of expression. The sensor also features the optimum number of effective pixels for shooting HD moving images. At a high 50fps in all-pixel scan mode, this allows images to be captured with less colour aliasing, jaggedness and rolling shutter than regular DSLR cameras, while providing the sensitivity to shoot at a minimum illumination of 0.28lux*. Another advantage of “Exmor” technology is minimal noise when shooting low-light scenes.

When using a fixed shutter speed of 1/25, auto gain and an iris setting of F1.4.
The SEL18200 lens supplied with the NEX-FS100EK enables shooting in illumination as low as 1.5lux when using a fixed shutter speed of 1/25, auto gain and auto iris

“The NEX-FS100E NXCAM Super 35mm camcorder enables budget content creators and videographers to experience a new level of creative expression,” said Bill Drummond, Strategic Marketing Manager, of Sony Professional. “Sony has responded to professional user feedback to create this new camcorder with an ergonomically designed body and accessories offering really flexibility in use.”
