PHILIP BLOOM关于FS100的第一印象，和Nigel Cooper的很不一样

#大画幅可换镜头# 此前，我曾发过Nigel Cooper关于FS100的文章，现在再发一篇PHILIP BLOOM关于FS100的文章。P.B.表示此前看到的关于FS100的独立文章也就N.C.的那篇。他有不同看法。（原文：http://philipbloom.net/2011/04/26/fs100/ ）

Unfortunately it came a day late to be used for our music video but the lovely Kanta Yamamoto from Sony Europe popped over to my house this afternoon on his way home to drop off a pre-production FS100 to me to play with for a couple of days. Kanta recently moved from Tokyo and now lives around the corner from me in Richmond, so I think I will be bugging him A LOT!

当然，这还是用的样机啦。

So far I have only see one independent review of the FS100 and it was utterly scathing. I took it with a pinch of salt and rightly so. After just 30 minutes of shooting with the FS100 it’s nothing like Nigel Cooper paints it as. It feels well made and the buttons are just fine!

P.B表示自己拍了30分钟后的感觉和N.C.完全不一样：做的很好啊，按钮什么的也很不错啊。（注：N.C.当时狠狠的批了按钮，说要用笔尖去按）

Yes, the form factor is different and it is missing some key features. The Hassleblad style is interesting. To be honest the first time I saw it It reminded me of the old HI8 Sony Video Walkman from many a moon ago…check it out below and the FS100 next to it!
P.B.表示：的确，样子是看起来和传统的不太一样，有些关键性能也没有。不过，这个造型也挺有意思的。他第一眼看到的时候，就想起了HI8 Sony Video Walkman。还附了图,我也觉得像。

Hi8 Video Walkman

FS100
But…actually the form factor interests me. I own both an AF101 and a Sony F3 and they have more traditional form factors but they suck to be honest. The only decent form factor is a shoulder mounted camera, everything else needs to be accessorised to make them work properly. The FS100 in many way is a little like a poor man’s Red Epic in it’s stylings. Very modular. You build it up the way you want it as there are lots of screw holes all over it.

P.B说自己其实挺喜欢这个造型的。他有AF101和F3，这两他觉得更传统，但是说实话很SUCK，（各位，SUCK我不多说了啊）。基本上，P.B.觉得FS100某种意义上来说和EPIC有些像，很模块化。

I can’t talk about the picture quality too much as I have not done any proper HD shooting with it yet but it operates just fine. The menus are easier to navigate than the F3 due to not being stuck with just a wheel like the F3 there is a control pad on the top. The LCD screen is pretty damn good and with the clip on viewfinder it becomes superb, with one caveat. By being on top of the camera it makes it impossible to use the camera with the viewfinder on a tripod higher than you as the it cannot tilt down!
由于没有做任何的HD拍摄，所以P.B.表示不能谈画质这样的问题。不过，操作起来还是很不错的：菜单用起来比F3方便。控制板在上方。LCD屏也不错，哦，是非常不错
No ND filter wheel is a bummer. The reason being to keep the small body there was no space for a filter wheel, but this really is a pain for me. I miss ND filter wheels on DSLRs and it’s one of the loveliest things of the Panny AF 101. 4 stage filter wheel…like a proper camera!
没有ND的确是非常要命，对P.B.来说，也是很不爽的。4档ND，也是P.B.超喜欢AF101的众多原因之一，摄像机得有这玩意儿嘛。这个时候，他也很想念DSLR的ND啊，呵呵。
It has the same Super 35mm sized sensor as the F3 but different processing. It has no SDI out, just HDMI and it is only 8 bit 422 even though HDMI can do 10 bit 422 because the processor is only 8 bit. Compromises have had to be made to slash the price down from the F3.
FS100和F3一样，是S35元件，不过，没有SDI输出，有HDMI，是8bit,422.这当然和价格有关。
One SD card slot is a shame so no continuous internal recording. Batteries are the legacy NPF batteries that I have from my old Z1 and they last about 8 hours for one NPF 970. Fantastic.
1个SD卡槽，不外接记录仪的话，无法连续录制，这个也是糟糕啊。不过，电池组很牛。用NPF970可以扛8小时。
The one I have is the US version so no 25p. The EU version will be 1080p 25p and 50p but i was told they plan to add 24p via a firmware update later (charged firmware update?). I personally HAVE to have 25p for my UK broadcast work. I also need 24p for my US work…let’s hope the firmware does come out.
P.B.拿到的美国版机器没有25p，据说会出24p固件。
Pricing is around $6000 I believe and we are looking late summer for release.
P.B.相信售价应该在6000美金左右。
So keep an eye on this blog and I will update with my full review soon. Tomorrow I compare the camera to my AF101 and F3 with the same Zeiss CP.2 glass on both internal recording and using the Atomos Ninja. Be interesting to see.

So in the meantime check out this little bit of test filming I did with the “smooth slow motion” mode of the camera using a Nikon Mount Zeiss 100mm Macro. I don’t know what the recording resolution is but the bit rate is only around 12 mb/s. It looks like a bit better than SD up-rezzed to full HD recording 120FPS in a 60i stream. I imported it as 30p full HD and using cinema tools conformed it to 24p so it is now 150FPS. The picture quality is just OK in this mode as was expected. It buffers for about 3 seconds and then records 12 seconds of footage to the card. The Sony Z7 has a similar function with the CF recorder. It’s no phantom and the 1080 60fps is WAY superior. But it’s a nice thing to have in their for fun and that’s what the below piece is.

P.B.还测了下升格，用的Nikon Mount Zeiss 100mm Macro.镜头。他表示不知道分辨率怎样，不过比特率是12Mbps。
