Sony's professional Super 35 cinema camera — FS7 Mark II with electronic ND and improved ergonomics.
The Sony PXW-FS7 II is the second-generation Super 35mm cinema camcorder in Sony's XDCAM FS7 line, released approximately 2016. It updates the original FS7 with improved ergonomics — including a shoulder mount extension and an improved XDCA-FS7 adapter interface — while retaining the same Super 35mm Exmor CMOS sensor and E-mount interchangeable lens capability. Sony E mount.
Super 35mm (approximately APS-C) Exmor CMOS sensor. 4K/60fps XAVC recording. Variable ND filter (built-in). Slow motion up to 180fps at 1080p. Improved Rotofinder grip and shoulder mount extension versus FS7 I. Sony E mount (accepts E and FE lenses). At approximately 2,000g body only.
The FS7 II's primary improvements over the FS7 I are ergonomic: the integrated shoulder pad, improved grip, and optical variable ND filter. Optically and electronically the two generations are equivalent for recording and sensor performance. The variable ND filter provides seamless exposure control for run-and-gun documentary work.
On the used market the Sony PXW-FS7 II is a professional Super 35mm cinema camcorder for E-mount lenses. Condition checks: E-mount contacts, variable ND filter operation, 4K recording function, battery health (BP-U), XDCA-FS7 adapter compatibility if needed. Confirm FS7 II (second generation) versus FS7 I when purchasing.
