With the announcement that NHK has shrunk down their 8K camera to that of a standard HD camera, Nofilmschool.com wonders how close the industry is to shooting in 8K. Their answer?

Comparison footage and tests from the new Sony FS700 showcase the camera's slow-motion capabilities, improved dynamic range and more. Says FreshDV, "It looks to me that the FS700 offers nearly all of the strengths of the FS100, and also fixes some of the annoyances I have with the camera; lack of built-in ND filters, HDMI-only monitoring, highlight handling, and a weak top handle. None of these annoyances are deal-breakers, and they can all be worked around in most situations. The FS100 remains an incredible value, and this is probably a great time to pick one up used.
