"Until the F23 came along, cameras in the 2/3” chip world were designed much like ENG cameras. The Sony F23 is designed like a film camera. It’s very operator friendly. And the test footage I’ve seen looks remarkable. Even with the gain set at 12 dB, the equivalent of ASA 2000, it is virtually noiseless. Add to that the ability to dock a recorder on the top or rear of the camera and you have a versatile unit that can be used in studio, handheld or Steadicam modes. It’s a winner!"

"Testing on the new Sony F23 has been great. It handles the highlights beautifully and the picture quality is fabulous. I am extremely impressed. The support and training we are getting from Sony and Band Pro has been excellent. This camera has really changed my thinking and is a wonderful addition to our inventory and digital workflows. And it is already working nonstop. I need more!"

"... we had actors in a jungle and on a boat (hard shadow situations) and we shot day going into night. The F23 camera held up beautifully. This is a fun time to be a DIT.We get to hear people saying, ‘hmm, maybe this digital thing is good after all!"

We support the most innovative and technologically demanding productions in the world, and having the right tools to make a director's and DP's vision a reality is crucial. Band Pro helps us keep that edge. With tools like the Sony F23 cameras and SR-1 technology, I know I can always turn to them for the top quality and creative options mandated by our projects."

"The Sony F23 is the camera that finally breaks all the barriers in modern digital capture. Band Pro has been a critical part of Electric Light & Power with great advice and great service. We’re looking at a great future."

"I have been pushing 24P out the gate through four digital camera generations. Asking manufacturers to raise the bar is easier said than done— yet pulling it off— time and again, is Sony. Teaming them up with the right clients, projects, and products is Band Pro. With the F23, we finally have the foundation of a digital camera system that behaves like it was designed for the modern motion picture set. And now, with Kerner Optical, we are taking the F23 into the third dimension with creative customization. Bottom line: the F23 shows us that there is no stopping digital cinematography. It's here already, let’s get on with making movies."

"With the 17-112mm DigiZoom at 122mm we got close-up shots at T2, creating framing similar to a 250mm in 35mm, except that no 35mm lens is able to deliver a T2 stop at 250mm! That's a key point!"
