The Sony NEX-FS100U is a compact, modular camera that could be considered the Sony F3’s little brother. Key features include:

Native Mounting of Sony E-Mount Lenses. The Sony NEX-FS100U uses a Super 35 CMOS sensor with 1.5x lens loss, which provides native mounting of Sony’s E-mount lenses and complete compatibility with a multitude of SLR and cine-style lenses via optional adapters.

Full HD Capture at Multiple Frame Rates. The FS100 is able to shoot full 1080p video in a range of frame rates up to 60p, and it’s capable of recording 28 Mbps AVCHD footage onto SD cards or memory stick media (not included). It can also output 4:2:2 video—with embedded timecode—to an external recording unit.

Shotgun Mic Included. The camera includes a shotgun microphone with mount/carrying handle and dual XLR inputs for recording uncompressed, professional-level sound from an external source.

Additional Advanced Features. Other features—such as a rotating 3.5" XtraFine LCD panel with detachable viewfinder, SD recording, GPS geotagging, and a slow shutter—make the NEX-FS100U an impressive camera. Not only will it cut well with a Sony F3 as a B camera, it also capably stands on its own for film and commercial use.
