We've spent a year getting to know this small but mighty camera. We've shot around Europe and the US, on both corporate and music videos. Just what makes the Pocket 4K and it's big brother the Pocket 6K different? What do you need to use these cameras? Can they replace production cameras? Can they be used for run and gun vlogging? Answers to all these questions and more.

It's 2020, and Sony's PWX-FS7 II is four years old. There are many newer cameras in the industry. But there are probably more FS7's in use than any other model of professional camera. This beast rules the industry - especially professional corporate production, music videos, wedding and everywhere Arri are too expensive, and DSLRs won't cut it. Thanks to channel sponsor Camerakit.ie for supplying all the gear used for this review https://camerakit.ie/ So does the FS7 II still have the chops for production? Is this a camera you should consider buying or renting? And whats using the camera like if (like us) you come from a DSLR / DSLM background?
