  • Phil, we don’t use 720p much at all. We occassionally use it with our HVX, 1080 is our defacto format. We wanted a native 1080 camera, not one that up converts from 720p.

  • Robin, we bought the color viewfinder with the camera. Our crews were so used to the Sony color viewfinders on the F900’s and F900R’s. The color viewfinder is OK. It is not as good as the Sony’s. Our crews are getting used to them, but it is an on-going process. We did not consider the B&W’s. One other thing about the 3100’s, there is not a LUT in the eyepiece. You are always looking at a Flat Film Rec image. This is different from the 3700, in which you can apply a LUT to the viewfinder.

  • Phil and KH, we are a 1080 house only with limited acceptance of 720p. We shoot all our interviews with this camera in 1080, 23.98p. So the 3100 is perfect for us. We do not use any on-board mics. Our sound department takes care of all audio to the camera. In fact, we did not purchase any on-board mics for the cameras. We use both Fuji 22×7.8 or 23×7.6 HD standard lenses and Fuji 13×4.5 or 14×4.5 HD wide angles.

  • KH, we found the same issue. We own four of the new 3100’s. Luv them. You need to order the Chrosziel 401-89B or see this link https://store.zacuto.com/Zephyr300.html) . We purchased the Chrosziel’s.
