"I often appear cynical and geeky. But, deep inside, I'm a romantic guy. Or so thinks my girlfriend as, for her birthday, I surprised her Friday night with a 3-day week-end in Venice. I recorded some short videos via my Sony NEX FS700. This camcorder recorded the happy time when we were in Venice. I'm a new user. And I have a problem now, I can't import the FS700 MTS video into FCP X on Mac, please help."
The Sony NEX FS700 is a camera that despite its very awkward ergonomics/impractical design and underpowered codec, is a pretty unique, incredibly powerful camera. It has a superb image, fantastic low light sensitivity, SDI output, amazing super slow motion features PLUS of course that mysterious feature of being announced as "4K ready".
The FS700 2K and 4K configuration requires outputting the raw signal through a BNC connector that is prone to physical stress and damage under the rigors of typical production mayhem. The NEX-FS700U now features an upgrade that enables full 2K RAW up to 240fps or 4K RAW up to 60fps recording to Sony's AXS-R5 RAW recorder. Another key feature is the addition of the rather lovely S-Log 2 gamma curve. Something that would be possible to use internally with the AVCHD, although it's perhaps not the best codec to work with when using a profile that needs a lot of colour work to come alive.

I bought this to convert MXF files to QuickTime MOV in a hurry. It all worked reliably and well, and I was very pleased. I think it offers great value for money. However it would be nice if the dimensions of the input video were automatically set as the output to save some time.
