The FS100 is an interchangeable lens camcorder featuring a large Exmor CMOS sensor equivalent in size to Super35mm film like that used in the PMW-F3 for creating “a rich bokeh effect (beautifully defocused image) to produce the much-desired shallow-focus look associated with top-shelf commercials and feature films.” According to Sony, the “new sensor is designed with outstanding exposure latitude and sensitivity to deliver extraordinary HD images subtle in detail and color gradation while avoiding image artifacts typical of HDSLRs.”
