EthanAlexander Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If you haven't heard, Sony released firmware V4 for the FS5 today: 1. Support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) by shooting in Hybrid Log-Gamma** (HLG) standard 2. Support for continuous 120fps High Frame Rate (HFR) recording in 1080p with CBKZ-FS5HFR (sold separately) 3. Option to change the minimum ISO sensitivity number to ISO 2000 from ISO 3200 when recording S-Log2/S-Log3 I've searched for the CBKZ-FS5HFR upgrade, but all I could find was that it's $500 for 50mbps 120p?? That's insanity. I'm hoping this is wrong and someone has better info than what I found. If interested, here's a link to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you needed to shoot long sequences at 120 frames at a low bitrate (like a dance routine) - at that price- this update is a waste of money.

Kisaha Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 It probably is a better idea to buy a used a6300 for similar money, and have a B(C, D, E) cam, as well a small body for taking -better than an iPhone - pictures with. this upgrading policy of Sony is a bit annoying, why charge a software update so much money? 99$ would be just fine; free, even better.
