The Sony FS7 II in 2020 - Review of an Industry Legend

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.
