Two Cameras, No Waiting
Sony F55 and F5
The pace of camera design, re-design, and release
quickens. Lighter, smaller, faster, sooner. More K, more
speed, better ergonomics, promising pictures.
Sony launches two new 35mm digital motion picture
cameras: F55 and F5. Prototypes are shooting on locations
near you. Working cameras ship in January 2013.
Some have called the F55 a companion to the F65,
and the F5 an upgrade beyond F3. Many will call
them Sony’s most thoughtful cameras yet — their first
comfortably shoulder-resting, modular, compact 4K
cameras.
The F55 and F5 are thin—not much wider than a
prime lens.
The cameras are modular and highly configurable.
They look similar on the outside, with one distinctive
difference.
The FZ mount on the F55 is silver
and on the F5 it’s black.
(PL lenses attach with a PL to
FZ mount adapter. More on
mounts later.)
The big differences are inside.
