Looking for new camcorders with best image quality.

Re: the Slog3; since you’re planning to get the A7sII anyway, you can play with it on that camera.

The Shogun would be a great monitor, but won’t work well as a shoulder-mount solution–for that, you’ll need to use the eyepiece.

As far as focusing goes, I have to go extremely light, fast, and low-profile for a lot of my doc shoots, so I don’t use a follow focus knob. I just have my grubby hands RIGHT ON THE LENS. I know, it’s barbaric. But I’ve gotten used to it over the years. Especially when using a zoom lens, it keeps me one step closer to the lens so I can react fast.

The only other add-on I have is the K2M XLR add-on, which allow me to bring in four channels of XLR audio if I need to.

Again, though, I don’t shoot much narrative or even commercial type work. It’s mostly documentary style or fast-turnaround corporate. There are lots of guys who will give you a much more comprehensive kit list for the FS7.
