NEX-FS700 is a kind of Full HD Super Slow Motion interchangeable E-mount video camera of Sony's NXCAM line-up. The FS700 is shipped with a 4K Exmor Super 35 CMOS sensor (11.6 million total pixels) designed for high-speed shooting at a maximum of 960 fps, recording Full HD 1080 50/60p MTS/M2TS files in AVCHD format.
