4K Camera Upgrade! (Sony FS7 Unboxing)

2015-03-12
what's up everyone John retina from TechnoBuffalo here's an unboxing that we probably do once to twice a decade we got new camera gear to take a look at what you've got here is the sony fs7 or what its mother called it the PX w FS 7 this is a new 4k camera from Sony I almost feel bad having our outgoing c100 record this it's like asking it to record its own funeral I will go ahead and dig in talk to you a little bit about the camera we'll set it up and I'll show you at the end of the video what some footage looks like totally unconnected when we picked up the c100 a couple years ago we knew 4k was coming but there was anything out there that was affordable and also was kind of standardized so when Sony announced the FS Evan it seemed like the ideal time to jump into 4k now we're going to upload everything in 4k but it's like being able to have more megapixels it gives us more flexibility but we do in the videos we can do some more zooms and that kind of stuff so go ahead and open it up you've got some old-school styrofoam sitting right here on top and a lot of accessories here we've got a kind of large manual you've got a remote control and you've got inside of there is a disc for the manual but of course you can just download that if you want because who uses CD drives anymore we've got a battery with LED indicator on it already comes partly charged it's got four total lights on it from empty to full definitely going to need that also is a bit of surprise if you stay tuned into the video in addition to showing you two sample footage also show you some of the other gear that we picked up we're going to be using here you've got just your a wall adapter I assume one of these cables will be the other side of that adapter which is right here we've got a power charger for that wall adapter and also a power cord for the battery charger to show you in a minute you can actually plug the camera into the battery charger it's kind of neat so just two simple chords we've got some of these things see what those do we've got some mounting brackets it looks like as well all that stuff off to the side pull off the tops IRA foam I haven't unboxed something with this much styrofoam since my very first unboxing which was the santa rosa macbook pro and inside this is where the action happens as far as I'm concerned I'll leave this sexy little guy until the end this is the grip but this grip is kind of interesting can also serves as a wired remote of sorts for the camera so go ahead open this up and I'll show you so as you're recording you can actually hold this down hold the camera on on one side and this plugs directly into control it you've got a ton of controls here of course including your start/stop you've got a five-way joystick your release if you want to release it and all kinds of other customizable options and this appears with the relatively thick threaded screw so push all of that off to the side and I guess all screws are probably surrounded by nature what else we're going to have we've got this is kind of interesting I don't usually spend much time on battery chargers Sony includes a lot of stuff in this pack so this is a battery charger obviously you can plug in the battery to charge it but you can also plug it into the camera as well while it's charging so if you aren't traveling you want to care just want that you can carry this instead of carrying that separate power adapter but you've got both options in there this large guy is the viewfinder and there's a lot of pieces put together in this cameron of course we'll put all this together on film for you well time-lapse it up so you can have to spend all the time putting together but go ahead and pull this tape up and I'll show you what this can do so standard sort of viewfinder for an older camera go ahead and peek on and you can see stuff also open it up and then there is give you your normal LCD viewfinder put this on top of it and if you're you know in the sunny conditions or something you can look in and actually see it through the eye Cup and it shows you a lot of stuff here it will show you zebra and all kinds of other speaking options so there's that push that stuff off to the side now what I have been waiting for and probably the reason you are here here is the fs7 push this box off to the side and take a look at the new TechnoBuffalo main camera we also picked up and we do a separate unboxing of an a7 s as our B cam alright so here is the body to the fs7 it looks like there is just a lot going on here give your just a real quick highlight on what's on the camera of course we'll cover much more about it you've got control for both of your XLR which live here on the other side you've got two SDI outs underneath there you've got HDMI obviously where your battery is going to live where your media is going to be and you're probably going to say hey John what kind of SD cards it's going to take and it's sony sony loves product or a format so it takes q XD cards it'll take two of them right there we've got one we got a 64 gig variant right here it also does have a utility esteem what that means is you can save all your user settings on it you go to another FSM and you can pop that in and be good to go it's got a micro USB port for a software updates and also get the media off the camera if you don't have a card reader I will say the card that we bought actually came with an adapter so free interested that's going to be there as well and of course you've got your handle grip I've got spot for boom mic you've got a hot shoe and the viewfinder that we showed earlier goes right into there just a lot of options and of course the lenses uses the e-mount lens in system we bought a few lenses we're going to use some of our old Canon lenses with a meta bones adapter in addition some lenses we just bought so you've got the Zeiss alpha 24 to 70 millimeter we also have a 55 millimeter that we picked up and a 16 to 35 sort of been a long time coming for us upgrade our camera equipment we don't do this very often you know every six years or so so I'm really excited take a look at this so we got a lot of pieces sort of strong out here on the desk let me go ahead and build the camera and again will show some footage what this looks like totally unedited and a sneak peek at some of the other equipment that we've got we're gonna be using here you stopped the video just real fast to thank our friends and good peeps at Lenovo so if you guys thought the best part about yoga was the pants
