Here is the description from adorama where it sells for $1,145. The focus enhancements fs-5 is a highly portable direct to edit (dte) recorder designed for standard dv and hdv camcorders. As with previous models, the unit records footage directly through firewire. Enhancements over previous models include a backlit, high-resolution lcd screen, ultra-light design, along with intuitive menus and controls. Suitable for the harshest environments, the fs-5 provides 10 seconds of shock cache to ensure footage is never lost due to vibration.
Additional features include time lapse recording, scene marking, clip categorization, and the ability to assign custom metadata. Go from acquisition to editing in one step.

Featuring a backlit color display, and easy-to-use menu system and a removable, rechargeable battery, the focus fs-5 is the perfect dte companion for your hdv or dv camcorder. Audio, video, timecode, and control information are passed through a single firewire cable, allowing you to record to disk or disk and tape simultaneously. Designed for use in even the roughest conditions, the fs-5 includes a 10-second electronic shock cache to ensure that you never lose footage.

Advanced features such as time lapse (dv mode only), retro disk recording, scene marking, and clip categorization make the fs-5 portable dte recorder the perfect companion for handheld shoots. When recording is complete, your footage is ready to edit instantly–no capturing, file transfer, or conversion is required.

View thumbnails and video clips. With the fs-5, you can view thumbnails and video clips on its brilliant color display. Thumbnails can also be viewed on a web page when the fs-5 is connected to a network. Mpeg-4 proxy files can be generated and transferred to a host computer or a video-sharing web site, as well as distributed to portable media devices, making collaboration easy. Assign custom metadata on the fly. With the fs-5, you can personalize and optimize workflow–while you shoot. During postproduction, simply transfer clips–complete with metadata–from the fs-5 to your nle system or px media server. All the information you assigned during the shoot goes with the clips, saving you hours or even days of logging time. Engineered for portability, durability, and ease of use. Only 2.75″ wide, 5.4″ high, and 1.25 deep (7 x 13.7 x 3.2 cm), the fs-5 packs a wealth of functionality into a sleek and durable package that weighs only 12 ounces. Crafted from the inside out to meet the reliability and quality standards that video professionals demand, the fs-5 is designed to deliver great results under even the most challenging shooting conditions.
