First Sony F3 video sample!!!
compulsion – teaser from Jason Wingrove on Vimeo.
Finally we have the very frist Sony F3 video sample. This is of interest for us Alpha/NEX users becuase the F3 uses the same sensor of the E-mount NXcam. The main difference is the codec. The F3 uses ExmorHD at 34Mbit/s and the NXcam AVCHD at 24Mbit/s.
“This is a teaser for a short shot entirely with the Sony PMW-F3. It will form part of Sea Pool. vimeo.com/channels/seapool A documentary currently in production on the Australian ocean pool culture in Sydney and shot early morning at North Narrabeen on Sydney’s northern beaches.
Lenses were Zeiss 40mm UltraPrime, Super Speeds, & 135mm prime.
I’ve done a subtle preliminary grade using Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Looks but we can already see the footage has great possibilities in the grade.
For more on the shoot & our experiences with the camera go to fxguide.com and listen to our podcast, Red Centre. fxguide.com/redcentre
The full version can be seen at Sony live events in Australia & NZ very soon, go to sony.com.au/pmwf3 to register. Thanks for dropping by.

the camera really has a good dynamic range. I guess they captured hd-sdi instead of 35mbs.

2 years ago |it seems you are wrong.. this is what philips bloom states after being at the presentation:
“the REALLY cool thing is it has EXACTLY the same S35 EXMOR sensor as it’s big brother the F3. Not a crappy DSLR sensor scaled down to HD like the consumer version out right now”

2 years ago |You are mixing up things here. AVCHD is the name of a file format for video streams (Advanced Video Codec High Definition), used by the NXCAM video cameras (and others). ExmorHD has nothing to do with file formats, ExmorHD is the name of a proprietary Sony Exmor sensor topology, a specific CMOS sensor type with HD video capabilities. The PMW-F3 does not use AVCHD as recording format (AVCHD is a consumer format), but MPEG2 in Long GOP format at 35 Mb/s.
Geir E
2 years ago |“AVCHD has been proven to perform at 24Mbs as good and when stressed better than MPEG2 (comment: Which XDCAM HD of the F3 uses) up to 35Mbs. … because of the initial digitization, the MPEG2 is always breaking it down to the 8 X * blocks, and thus when stressed the macroblocks show up much more easily on MPEG2. Barry Green did a test on this a couple months ago and posted it.

So according to this product manager of Panasonic, AVCHD at 24mbit/s will give equal quality to the higher bandwidth, but less effective codec of the XDCAM HD.
