Q: 7. I use a Vanguard monopod with my Tamron 150-600 paired with a Nikon D750. When mounted it forms a "T" which can be carried across my chest with a shoulder strap. Not happy carrying it in that "T" position, I've been shopping for a simple tilt head without a quick release. The Slik SH-707E appears to be the answer to my prayers. Your thoughts...?

Q: 9. So... 1080 60p for 20k? what makes this camera better than an A7sii??

A: When comparing gear, consideration for what the intended use of that piece is necessary. The Canon ME20F-SH and the Sony a7S II are for two different markets.The a7S II is meant more for the indie/commercial filmmaker budgets and the Canon ME20F-SH is for industrial, documentary and/or high end commercial/Hollywood budget productions. For the cost you get better low light performance than the a7S II and that comes into play when image quality is paramount. Also it is not just about shooting in normal low light situations, it also allows using high f stops on long lenses , or shooting underwater (it gets dark quickly there) or night aerial videography.

Q: 10. Does the camera write to an inserted memory card? Or, is the bandwidth of the recording stream so big that the camera must be hardwired to an external memory module to record movies?

A: With the Canon ME20F-SH, you record the video to an external recorder such as the Atomos Ninja Blade. The recording stream is not so enormous as you might think. Remember, this is a just a Super35 sensor with only a 2.26 MP's. You may be confusing the high ISO with with pixels. Even then it would be only a 4MP camera. You can compare this with Sony's a7S II which is a 12MP video camera and it records 4K internally. Note: While the ME20F-SH does have a card slot, that is only for firmware updates.
