Sony FS7 II is an incremental upgrade of Sony’s FS lineup, and not a replacement. The previous model FS7 will continue to be sold (in body-only form) at the existing price. The sensor and image are unchanged from the original FS7. The codec choices and the autofocus system are also the same. The FS7 II will be sold as body-only, or as a kit with the new 18-110mm f4 G cine zoom. So what’s new (except price) in the new Sony's camcorder?
