I always thought the fs100 body looked kinda goofy haha. Really blockish. But w/e it still outshoots everything below RED

What!! I agree with everybody else, block bodies are the most beautiful ones in my opinion, and the most practical. i thought that the blockiness of the HVX is what made it look boss as shit

Let me rephrase. The fs100 has sort of a cube shape (1x1x1) in the back. Whereas the hvx is more of a rectangular block haha. My bad I guess

See I've always HATED the shape of video cameras. Rectangular with a fixed top handle, and the side handle is horizontal rather than vertical like it should be...I'm so glad video cameras are starting to be cubes with detachable lenses. haha I've been bitching about this since 9th grade haven't I...

I agree, but for me the HVX was a huge step in the right direction compared to a camera like the older Sony or Canon cameras. The HVX is considerably more blocky and cube-shaped than those.

Haha you mean like angular rather than curvaceous? To me thats pointless considering it still had the same design flaws as its predecessors. I actually thought the HVX was one of the worse camera body designs ever...main reason why I hate that camera.

Eh idk, agree to disagree i guess. for me the body design was nearly perfect, i love that camera.


i liked how it was more like a solid cube, whereas previous cameras were longer and more rectangular and felt to me more like a series of cubes rather than one big one.
