By our senior writer: Sara Hanka
I've been waiting to write this article for a long time. But today I actually get to review the Sony PXW-FS7M2 XDCAM Super 35! I, Sara Hanka, write about electronics for a living as a writer, blogger and reviewer and you have probably read my pieces about the New XPS 15 7590 The World's Smallest 15.6" Performance Laptop with 4K UHD InfinityEdge Touch Display 9th Gen i9-9980HK GTX 1650 4GB Pluse Best Notebook Stylus Pen Light (2TB SSD|64GB RAM|Win 10 PRO) by Laptop and the PlayStation 2 Slim Silver by PlayStation. I also did an editorial piece on the FUJIFILM X100F Digital Camera (Silver) Extreme Vlogging Studio 2.0 - Multi-Camera Setup. Needless to say, I have quite some experience testing electronics and I only want the best to my readers of course. So I was really thrilled when I got this product to write about today!
Introduction
I've been a fan of Sony products1 for years and I was really looking forward to finally trying the Sony PXW-FS7M2 XDCAM Super 35 and reviewing it for you guys. I found the best deal on this site on Amazon (You can buy the Sony PXW-FS7M2 XDCAM Super 35 here.) and I didn't hesitate a moment. So I reached for my creditcard and bought one straight away. I was glad it had free shipping and 24 hours delivery when I ordered it because I couldn't wait! When my Sony PXW-FS7M2 XDCAM Super 35 arrived the next day I ripped open the packaging and was really happy with what I saw. As I said before I'm a huge Sony enthusiast but I can be very critical and objective too, especially when writing for my readers. :-) After testing it for about a week now I am confident that I have the authority to write this piece. So read on and I will tell you all about my findings and if you should buy this thing.
Summary
I always start my reviews about electronics with a summary, then a clear list of the pros and cons after which I'll give my rating and conclusion. So as you may have understood from the intro, I am blown away by the Sony PXW-FS7M2 XDCAM Super 35. Sony has really outdone itself on this one. The quality is great, and frankly; it just looks awesome. I know aesthetics aren't everything with electronics, but it just needs to be said. Of course the price I got at Amazon was and is unbeatable so make sure to check them out when you decide to buy one yourself. As I have tried many alternatives before, I really got to say they are no match for the Sony PXW-FS7M2 XDCAM Super 35. Just the functionalities alone beats all competitors and the durability also seems to be top notch.
