Sony Alpha a7S is amazing! Great camera, overall. I'm primarily using this camera for film, but love taking stills with it. It takes wonderful stills, so don't let a 12.2 megapixel camera fool you. The wide shots are amazing and the video quality is wonderful. The only problem I encountered was the file format. The XAVC S codec it shoots in wraps its files into MP4s. These files are extremely difficult to import into all my major film editing software, like Premiere Pro and After Effects.

According to our experience and other user's feedback, to make your Sony Alpha a7S XAVC-S work well in Premiere Pro and After Effects, it’s highly recommended converting a7S XAVC-S clips to MPEG-2 for Premiere/AE editing use.
