![]() ![]() Many shooting situations just can’t handle those restraints. Sony offers an impressive mirrorless camera lineup, but these cameras have a 30-minute record time limit for video clips, offer only a 1/8 inch audio input and don’t include ND filters. The FS5 II is the camera to go to when you want an easier way to capture video. If you are ready to upgrade to a video-first camera The Sony FS5 II adds in mechanical 2, 4 and 6 stop ND for even quicker operation. Think of how a slide trombone works: It can slide through notes, offering everything in between. That 1/4 to 1/128 stop ND can slide through the stops, offering the perfect ND for any exposure. ![]() The electronic ND filter is the same as the one first offered in the FS5. Now, let’s talk a bit about the ND - it is the best part of a great camera. We don’t think this is a huge issue because most viewers these days are inundated with video from multiple cameras on a daily basis. The thing to be aware of is that, because of the new color science, footage from the original FS5 and the new Mark II won’t match out of the box. We found it pleasing, though we also liked the color from the original FS5. Sony says that the new color science should offer “rich mid-range colors, alluring facial tones and a softer tonal look.” We agree that the camera has a new look. The two big changes to the camera outside of unlocking available features are the new color science borrowed from Sony’s flagship Venice cinema camera and a mechanical ND filter wheel along with the very useful electronic ND. ![]()
