This cam is good step up into professional video recording. Although small and compact the form factor has it's pros and cons. Cons: *It requires additional cost for rigging to make this cam run and gun. *No ND Filters *LCD View Finder on top and not a articulating side mount.(Disadvantage when trying to get shot with Tripod extended you can not see the view finder well with out an external Monitor.) *Placement of one of the XLR Mic Port - To Close to Hand Held Area Pros: *Picture Quality for the price is great! *Form Factor allows for a different perspective in hand held *Modular - made to build or dress it as needed. *Compatibility - with a descent market there are plenty of accessories for this cam. *FMU Recording - Ability to use 128GB recording module without 3rd party device. *HDMI Out - Grab image and footage right from the sensor before compression for better quality with a 3rd Party recorder like Atmos Ninja 2. For me I made the choice because of the quality of the footage and with a reasonable amount of extra cost I can dress it to perform run and gun as well as tripod work. Small and compact allows me to fit two of them with lenses and mic accessories in my backpack that would only fit one of my older cams. Ease of use stands out to me as well. Of course, I'm coming from the Sony EA50 so the controls are almost identical. I upgraded because I'm doing more studio work now and I wanted a nice size sensor to capture a good product. Was doing weddings, sport events, corporate events, and commercials but, now I'm going into Television and wanted the added quality and performance.Read full review
Very happy to have this camera body as my third camera. It works perfectly. All I had to do was use my lenses on it and buy new batteries (only because I wanted higher capacity batteries than the two nice batteries supplied) and it worked perfectly. I have three FS-100 cameras and I love it. Excellent price and excellent opportunity.

I Love This Camera. What else is there to say? :-D The low-light sensitivity and shallow depth of field inherent with the large super 35mm camera sensor, plus the interchangeable lens options were the primary reasons for buying this camera. I was also impressed with its' performance value comparative to the much more expensive Canon C100. The FS100 and C100 are surprisingly similar when it comes to picture quality and video performance, yet the FS100 costs less than some of the lenses for the C100. So, budget filmmakers who don't want to look like budget filmmakers will find a lot to like about this camera. :-D
Amazing camcorder. Excellent low light capabilities, great slow motion and programmable picture profiles.... Excellent choice

Sony FS100 is still a great camcoder in 2016 especially, with the current price point. Serves as a perfect entry model.
