Sony NEX-FS100 Presentation - Juan Matrinez



Sony Product manager Juan Matrinez gives a presentation about the Sony NEX-FS100. Opening the talk by emphasizing shallow depth-of-field, which is a little ironic given the relatively slow kit lens and lack of ND filters on the camera.

"35mm optics have a less rigorous specification than a smaller sensor. If you have a 2/3 inch sensor, in order to achieve 1080P resolution you need to have 100 line pairs per mm, whereas if you have a Super 35mm sensor, as we do in this camera, you only need 41, less than half."

"We're grossly oversampling for HD, and we're not allowed to say the specification of the sensor, but I can say that we are grossly over-sampling high definition"

Though the slides refer to the Canon 5D Mark II, Juan did point out that the same applies when comparing the NEX-FS100 to Sony's Alpha DSLRs
