There's also the choice of using an uncompressed HDMI output (complete with time-code) or the integrated Memory Stick, SD or optional HXR-FMU128 flash memory storage, and a lens adapter for using other formats. The E18-200mm lens is included in the box, with F3.5-F6.3, autofocus and optical SteadyShot zoom. Fast and slow motion recording is supported, at up to 50fps at Full HD resolution.

The camera's design is modular, so the handgrip, viewfinder, LCD and other components can be detached and/or repositioned depending on how you're shooting. The Sony NEX-FS100 is priced at $6,550; availability is expected in July 2011.
