Mmmm. Pro gear. At long last, Sony's pro camcorder with E-mount (think: exchangeable lenses) has arrived. The broadcast quality HD camera is far too much gear for the amateur, but it never hurts to dream. Right?

We've been uncommonly keen to get our hands on the Sony NEX-FS100 ever since we first heard about it back in March . You see, this is no ordinary camcorder. Its spec sheet reads like a liturgy of filmmakers' prayers: a large Super 35mm Exmor CMOS sensor, interchangeable lenses, XLR inputs and...

Stunning footage; Great in low light; Modular design

No auto zoom; Lacks sturdiness; The sensor isn't as large as a DSLR's

Awesome camera

Easy to Use; Good Image Stabilization; Good in Low Light; Great Picture Quality; Great Sound; Large Clear LCD

Easy to Use; Good Image Stabilization; Good in Low Light; Great Picture Quality; Great Sound; Great Zoom; Large Clear LCD; Zoom range/performance
