Canon 5d vs Sony fs100
Hello,
I’m thinking about buying a new camera, but i can’t decide between the canon 5d and the sony fs100.
I’ve been watching a lot of fs100 videos and honestly they don’t have that cinematic look (dof) like a 5d has. I read they have the same size sensor. But 5d in my opinion looks better. How is that possible?(FS100 is a winner in the build quality qua operating)
Kind regards,

Sorry, but the 5D doesn’t have a cinematic look – it goes considerably beyond that with it’s 35mm photographic sensor. Have a look at this: https://vimeo.com/18104656
The FS100 has a S-35 cinema sensor – exactly the size of a 35mm frame as presented in theaters all over the world with the same DOF characteristics.
If you like to constantly fight with focus, a crappy LCD, aliasing, moiré and a poor audio section, get a 5D. (If you want to shoot excellent photos, get a 5D too)
But if you want to make films, get the FS100 if you can’t afford the F3!

I am in the same dilemma. What to do ?!!!!!!!! I really want to get a Sony Nex-fs100 but it is so expensive. One thing I’ve noticed is that the FS100 is straight up, a movie camera. I don’t think it can take still pictures, such as the dual role of the 5D. I thought about the 5D, but the knowing the fact that a Mark III will be out soon will irk me everyday.
A good cheaper option due out soon would be the Sony A77 and VG20.

Another solution that doubles for film and photography would be the Panny GH2 – especially now that it was hacked by Vasilij Kiselev.
