Sony FS700 Professional Video Camera Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

[@anchorbait6662]

If I told you that in 2017 you would spend 140,000 on 8k camera equipment what do you think little Linus would have said?

[@iancoleman2070]

Anchor Bait say whattt

[@ghobble2274]

HOLY SH!T

[@LinusTechTips]

Our XA10 is a $2000 camera. And higher FPS shooting is definitely a factor. So is 4K. Wanted something we can grow into over time versus something that we'll have to upgrade again soon.

[@LinusTechTips]

He had a cold when we were filming :(

I like how we can hear the breathing of the camera man

[@g3n3r41xan]

I love unboxings. It always feels so good when you got that new product in mail and you open it and its all new and shiny. Ok maybe not shiny but you know what I mean...

[@aaronlowe3156]

>puts on headphones >instantly hears someone breathing in my right ear

[@onesickcobrabite]

congratulations linus... ur hard work pays off, now ur production has gone up a million times over... can't wait till u guys start messing with this camera's capture capabilities...!

[@Barnacules]

I hope Sony gave that to you guys to unbox :D

[@JohnathanRavan]

Ha fancy seeing you here Jerry! I was 8 years too late here.

[@joshafool]

I am genuinely excited to see your new set up in action!

[@aliawesome12fab]

Wants to unbox some boxes . Buys a 9000$ camera to record a box being opened .... hmmm.... :|

[@Angelus246x]

it is amazing, spending $8500 out of his own pocket on a camera. For us the viewers, all I can say is thank you Linus I appeciate it a lot.

[@TEHKERS]

[@HollywoodConnection-jast]

SO let me ask. On that camera, you can actually have an HDMI output feed into an external recorder ?

[@xXSergeantPorkyXx]

Really went all out with this... Glad to see that you care about us mortals.

[@LinusTechTips]

I'll be standing in front of the lens as usual. I think I made it pretty clear in the video that I don't know how to use this thing and that I *won't* be the one using it ;)

[@metalbillyboy]

as a filmaking and camera geek i love this :D... can't wait to see more :)

[@jakemok1]

Diesel and Slick. Wow , Linus you really have cool names for camera mans.

[@jps2]

It's an unboxing. There isn't much Linus doesn't know about them. He bought it for himself and his crew to use, and he's the star of the show so naturally he's gonna unbox it. He knows VERY well what type of equipment he is handling, it's a very expensive camera.

[@tmp_sa]

in 12:00, you talked about the choice of the capture video and pictures, do you mean that the possible can pick up the image through these camera ?

[@nemof]

Woot! I love your unboxings, this can only be a good addition to them!

[@balancenoptions1322]

Man that camera looks krazy! Can wait to see what the recordings are going to look like

[@kylejack2]

The cables are for hooking up a monitor to the camera while operating it. It's not meant to output the best quality, it's just to enlarge the screen to make sure your focus is correct. Thanks for the review though and good luck with the new camera!

[@FelipeMartins96]

Linus, Theres is already a power zoom lens for e-mount. looking foward for the new quality stardard :) Thank you for improving your awesome videos

[@HobbieZones]

Very Nice with all that gear going to watch a LOT more Linus videos

[@giancarloraphaeldeguzman8613]

I just bought 2 of these for 1080p livestreaming

[@LinusTechTips]

You'd be CRAZY to capture footage from this thing with composite...... Quality would be horrible. More likely to be used for an auxiliary viewfinder or something. Capture from this camera would be via HD-SDI or HDMI.

[@turtlehater2]

I'm actually so excited to see this in action

[@RockerBug17]

Awesome camera! I can't wait to watch it in action on my VGA monitor. :P

[@LinusTechTips]

You're right. Maybe we intend to do other stuff...

[@trahim2]

Can't wait for the Hollywood quality tech tips! :)

[@LinusTechTips]

You're right. Maybe we intend to do other stuff ;)

[@keram1233]

its so hilarius to watch how experienced computer guy unboxes the professional vidcamera:D

[@LinusTechTips]

Lens upgrade will come. For now this will be a big enough step up.

[@TGamer36]

Thanks a lot Linus, you do so much for your fans!

[@TheYonderGod]

Nice I can't wait to see some video recorded with it!

[@wilfredwest67]

good video what are you going too do with the old video camera ?

[@Seryous]

Sweet camera. Cant wait for the crisp content. FEED ME!

[@SuneFyr]

nice congratulations on the new stuff

[@Soldier1287]

What's the top of the line camcorders that are use to film movies?

[@factsverse9957]

Soldier1287 RED Cameras or ARRI ALEXA (Mini, SXT, etc.) Sony F5, F55, F65, F900R (in HBO), Blackmagic Cinema Camera, whatever camera actually... GH5... duh. Expensive ones? Um, Canon C100 (in spec it's bad lol), C300, C500.

[@revotivo44]

Finally something that Linus was a lil clueless on. He's a mortal like us!

[@caelestis0021]

linus' shirt makes it clear. he's the professional unboxer and not the one filming.

[@xSeGi]

$8k camera for unboxing. A great channel has just become FUCKING AWESOME

[@kwrinn67226]

he already has a good 1080p camcorder, a $1500 Canon XA10. he got this so we can see the difference between 120/60hz, or any lag on a monitor, or the super minor shake in a fan, as well as just to really increase the quality of his videos, for example the focus issues he has had in close-up shots. Another advantage is since it has HDMI out, he can use his capture card for his live youtube shows. In other words, a proper investment for his viewers to allow for more flexibility in his channel.

[@ThunderKat]

I love to see the camera man face over this unboxing :)

[@OshMMf]

So from now on, the next videos we will see will have been filmed with this camera right ?

[@Golden_Angel_87]

Are you going to use it for your live streams too?

[@AgnostosGnostos]

The most important feature of professional digital video cameras in comparison with professional digital cameras nowadays, is the intergraded optical ND filters. Digital cameras can only take external ND filters in front of the lens which isn't so practical. There are some electronic ND filters but reduce the quality.

[@videophoto4922]

You ain’t lying. The ax100 has nd filters integrated and it’s a beautiful thing.

[@cuddles6938]

The new HDR Handycams are pretty awesome, considering how cheap they are now days. I think the HDR700 model rocks. Guy in Holland uses it on his quadcopter and it takes awesome HD video of flying over farmers fields, etc.

[@StudentBoots]

ND= Neutral Density, this helps with exposure, keeps things from getting blown out at wide apertures. Wide apertures mean a smaller depth of field, making what is out of focus really out and focus giving pleasing bokeh (fuzzy background). Finally: always remember that it's the lens that makes the image quality pop. /watch?v=wEpssQjhKOA Pro lens and a cheap body give better results than a pro body and cheap lens.

[@spencermanzondoorsXD]

The Gear is Here! :D Will be looking forward to your videos Linus!

[@vwestlife]

So it's a professional camera... but do you have a professional to operate it?

[@VoidOfEulogy]

Holy shit thats expensive, and you bought two! This channel must be a huge part of NCIX's total ads budget

[@yocomehelp]

linus video recording and editing tips

[@stank9191]

i can hear how excited cameraman is :D

[@EstevanTH]

Really amazing stuff! I love such technology.

[@DiegoManning]

Any chance of capturing microstuttering with this camera? THAT would be REALLY COOL. Keep it rollin', Linus!

[@Zelerium]

Is this strictly for TechTips or will this also be used for the live stream's as well ?

[@Muffin_Man177]

I can't wait for slow motion cat tips!

[@dalew101]

The RCA Cables connect to an external monitor for viewing footage live while recording. I said the same thing when I got my AX2000.

[@Yaboiicey]

When are you gonna record with you new camera and upload footage?

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

I'm amazed too that You guys can justify spending $10k or maybe slightly more on all those things just for YT vids. Regardless of YT worsening quality (or not) cause we can see clearly without all this. Zoom on current camcorder can be slow but Linus speaks fast so I never felt like wasting time watching techtips.

[@williamhansen5939]

Looking at the fun, now old stuff.. Always wanted the FS 700 :D

[@linkingaj]

You ever get accesories mixed between different products?

[@deltafan909]

Linus, have you been using this camera on your new videos?

[@TVARecordings]

Hello 2012. Welcome to 2019

[@Ti133700N]

Do you have the GH2 ? I bought the 60D about 4 months ago and I now love DSLR. But I mainly wanted to shoot videos with it. Overall I am happy with my purchase but the videos are more blurry than I expected, not sure if I'm asking too much or if something is wrong. I know the GH2 is great for videos and it doesn't have the moiré problems, do you think I should sell my 60D and get the GH2 ? Or do you have any other suggestions ? Thanks

[@mechanicraft]

Hmm, does the title imply that the video camera is of professional standard, or that the unboxing is done in a professional manner?

[@LTIcombatarms]

So excited for this new camera!

[@psaicon0]

cant wait to see the new videos recorded by this camera....

[@mitavattuu]

Thanks Linus, for better quality videos in the future!

[@175myles]

They also make a smaller version of this that fits the NEX lenses, which is the one I knew about, I didn't know about this one!

[@Terryche]

While Esther is looking for suggestions under 2K, you got this...

[@pnv8477]

You need to teach the person filming to not use automatic focus.......90 percent of the close upshots were out of focus. Zoom in, focus, pull out.

[@basvanderwerff2725]

+PNV Rivera this was from 2012.......

[@dev21012]

Seeing this brought a smile to my face. :)

[@MegaWildguyz]

i want to see an unboxing with these camera asap!

[@TheObsesedAnimeFreaks]

ok so when are you going to start doing things for B&H?

[@Coralbit]

At last a GOOD camera :D I surely hop that the focus time will be better now ;)

[@Neurot1ka]

Same here. XA10 was perfect for what they do. They seem to shoot in auto with it too... The production quality will go up with better pre-post techniques and not a new camera.

[@engineeringappliedresearch8344]

I own a second hand FS700 without the 4k upgrade, and I'm not planning on organizing for the upgrade because I'm planning on capturing slow motion or slo mo (film makers' slang) footage, and I don't think any 4k footage would blend in well with the 2k slo mo footage, even if the slo mo footage's upscaled to 4k. If the 'normal' motion footage is shot at 2k, then the 2k slo mo footage will match up better, IMO. At 03:30 on the subject of capturing 960 frames per second "... although it doesn't really capture any kind of decent quality at that frame rate" I wanted to offer this video I put together, shot at 960fps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfOeoqtgMyArqc

[@TheGameTeddy]

Linus, this camera is waaaay overkill. KZbin messes up the quality anyways so you don't necessarily need a camera that costs 8.5K. I've shot with this camera before but if you don't work in an overall professional environment, you would probably would get a good enough quality with a 5D. I'm looking forward to future videos but I think you need to step your production value game up a bit in a whole. That means lighting, lighting, sound and again, lighting.

[@wtg242424]

I think the point is he is going to be taking things up a notch in terms of what he is going to be doing.

[@TheHenricus69]

Linus has gone PRO, Hollywood here we come! (: Mega camera! (:

[@Edsdrafts]

Word of advice - 8k camera with 0.5k lens is a no no. Look into upgrade for the lens - can also sell kit one for funds. Your camera can only capture the image that is provided by lens. This kit one is quite standard in terms of low light performance. Also for unboxings (provided the video operator can walk) prime lens would be recommended. Will be interesting to see the image quality on this bad boy non the less.

[@ThatEpicMacDude]

we use these on the production team at my church, and they are fun to work with. We use a Canon 24-70 2.8L (original) and it looks great

[@MrSkarem]

$8,599.00?! And Linus paid that out of his own pocket?! I love you Linus

[@SMiThaYe]

In Europe we have 2-year warranties as default and can't be shortened. It's a directive that many shops end up honouring even if the product had a 12-month warranty. Sales of Goods Act also covers it. In UK we get full repair or partial refund up to 6-years but could end up in small claims court. Surely the US/CA has same protection?

[@Dantegal3]

hi linux, one question here... how do u get all kinds of products to reveiw? do u pay for them or do the companies give them to u for free? i would love to do that :)

[@KyleWhiteTV]

your cameraman breaths deeply.

[@AlexYoon]

Do u buy review products or ncix get items for u?

[@mohammad_alnasser]

The drawback in Sony recent cameras is the E-Mount lenses system.

[@iMasterFreez]

@LinusTechTips With this camera you really need to use the light filters for the nice film effect trough the Adobe Premiere or any soft.

[@Dimrain13]

No problem bro, Its all about doing it for fun even if you work in video like me( Im not allowed to post what I shoot in the branch that im in) Remember that its all about the glass not just the sensor. In the future I will be getting a GH3 just because it has a great quality and shoots 60fps on 1080P.. that alone is good enough for me. Any hacking that will happen will just be icing on a cake for me.

[@satanshollowd]

Hey there is there going to be a give away or charity auction of the old camera?

[@KTHKUHNKK]

ARE THOSE CONDENSER MICS OR DYNAMIC. THE RODE ONE. THANKS KEITH KUHN

[@WoshJilliamson]

I have no need for a better camera or would be able to ever justify buying this but just watching him unbox it makes me want it so bad :(

[@0rphym]

85 hundred is 8500, and this is filmed in canada so that might cover the slight difference?

[@mouselogi]

In general, still cameras are better at capturing still images and video cameras at moving objects. If you plan on shooting interviews or general "unboxing" videos where there isn't much movement, then perhaps a DSLR would be better.

[@horesvinet]

I love how he says "Røde" as "Rohde" :D

[@matthewrs7]

When you use the camera, PLEASE calibrate the zoom before shooting,
