Camera Overview — Sony FS700R

The Sony FS700R is a professional cinema camera built around a Super 35 sensor and Sony E lens mount, making it a versatile option for cinematographers who already work within the Sony E-mount ecosystem. One of its most striking capabilities is a maximum frame rate of 960fps, enabling extreme slow-motion capture that goes well beyond what most cameras in its class offer. The camera supports 4K maximum video resolution and records in multiple formats including AVCHD, RAW, and H.264, giving editors and DPs meaningful flexibility in post-production workflows.

Audio connectivity covers both XLR and 3.5mm mic inputs, accommodating professional boom mics and wireless receivers alongside consumer-grade audio sources. For connectivity, the FS700R includes HDMI, USB 2.0, and Wi-Fi, supporting external monitors, data transfer, and remote control options. Media recording is handled via SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick cards.

With a body weight of 2,400g, it sits in a range that reflects its professional-grade build. The ISO ceiling reaches 16000, providing usable headroom in lower-light shooting situations. Taken together, the FS700R is a capable cinema camera that balances high-frame-rate performance with flexible format support and a widely adopted lens mount.
