Hi -

Sony FX7 has FireWire out so it should work fine with the FS-5 or FS-H200pro, which I prefer due to the CF cards instead of an HDD!

[GanEdenAustralia]

Can I connect any Firestore to any old analog camcorder? If so, how?

[CoffeeCupMS]

Hi! The Firestores are connected via Firewire - so you can connect it to any "old" camera/camcorder with a Firewire out.

Does this help?

Hi! is the fs-5 compatible with a Panasonic AG-HVX200A ?

[CoffeeCupMS]

Hi!

I'm sorry but the FS-5 is not compatible with the P2 workflow. The Panasonic DVCPRO HD runs with 100mbit/s and the 1,5" HardDrive in the FS-5 is not fast enough for this - also with this amount of data you need a larger HardDrive than 100GB to really do effecient recording. The FS-100 is specially designed for Panasonic Cameras - thats the one you should look at. It also comes with a 250GB HDD which should be enough for most shoots! Did this answer your question?

I would like to know if you can play back your recorded clips on the integrated colour screen - this would be a great feature for whilst on a shoot. Cheers.

Hey Digicrew!

On the NAB next week Focus will introduce the 2.0 Version of the FS-5. One great new feature is the playback of your recorded clips on the integrated color lcd screen!

Just wanted to let you know =)

[GusPhillips]

Can the FS5 stream video while recording video?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@CoffeeCupMS Doesnt the FS2 have analog inputs?

[MrBloodySpy]

I have a Canon GL1 and Adobe premier for my editing software. Will the FS-5 be compatible with my equipment and software? If so, what format should I tell it to record in to be easiest to work with in Adobe premiere?

@TheLimestoneTeam what settings do you change to get them to connect?

[profoundpictures2010]

We shoot all of our commercial production on the JVC HD100 and was wondering if any other companies have used the Firestore for acquisition?

[TheLimestoneTeam]

i have a canon XH A1 and i am using the FS-CV DTE and i am getting alooot of flickering when importing. I used the flicker filter still doesn't help. Any tips? It also seems like i am loosing how good my picture looks.

[TheLimestoneTeam]

Hi i dont know why but when importing footage from the FS-CV DTE my footages is super flicky. I put a flicker filter on it and it kind of helps, but it seems that your product is weakening how the video from my canon XH A1 looks, any tips?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@CoffeeCupMS Thanks but Im talking about a Hi8 or SVHS pre dv or D8.
