Sony surprised everyone with this camera. Essentially an updated FS100, but with 12bit 4K output via the SDI spigot to an external recorder. 1080P 8bit internal recording, as well as some high speed modes.
Still no info on dynamic range, noise, etc, but 500ASA nominal rating.
Abelcine have posted Part 4 of their Sony F3 S-Log blog. It steps through how to create a 1D LUT in S-Log mode for Monitor Out and SxS recording on the F3.
Here’s a short preview of For Evie from the first shooting block. Preliminary quick grade. Shot with my Sony F3 in S-Log mode with my Cooke 18-100mm lens to a Atomos Samurai 10bit ProResHQ.
We still have a few more shooting days to come, along with some location shooting in Singapore.
We are holding an event at the Elwood Lounge to to raise funds for post production cost for our short film For Evie.

Ben Cain has updated his handy article on the correct way to calibrate your monitors.
Sony Australia have gone one better than Sony US with their F3 S-Log promotion. It’s free with new F3s, or $900 for current owners, and it seems you get to keep the 32GB SxS card, which Sony US keeps to re-purpose.
Orders are backlogged again, this time till mid April. Videocraft have kindly given me their rental S-Log on loan till mine arrives.
Version 2.8 is out. Great little device.
David Bordwell has a an excellent article up on his blog on the issues of film archival. All human works are temporary things, and preserving them as long as possible will never be easy I think.
If your feeling generous you can donate toward the production costs of one of the upcoming shorts I’m shooting. For Evie will be shooting on location in Melbourne and Singapore during March.
Here’s a series of beautiful large format Kodachrome images from WWII. The depth and detail is stunning.
