Panasonic UK Drop Price Of S5ii RAW Output Upgrade To £9.99

[BTM_Pix]

This offer is only for the UK.

The SFU-2 software key provides RAW over HDMI for the S5ii as well as V-Log and waveform monitoring for the original S1.

This offer from Panasonic is quite a bit of a drop from the £160 that it usually is and it’s available here for an undetermined amount of time.

I think this is the first time the S5ii can do raw and it was X model only previously?

Considering the prices of used S5ii’s now, that makes it some piece of kit!

I have a minty S5ii for sale if anyone (EU only) wants one, for €1000 inc postage, or it’s off to MPB within 48 hours…

Is there any other benefit besides the raw over hdmi? As i have no use for that.

For the S5ii, unless they slipped something in, no.

And if they slipped anything in of slightest interest, they generally say, but I suspect they do sneak in little corrective things they don't wish to tell us about, but then again, probably only with the free firmware stuff?

No additional functionality.

I’m not really that bothered about it either currently but I figure for the price of a McDonalds then I might as well get it in case I do want to use it at some point.

Also, when the price of this reverts back to £160 then for barely any money I’ve made my S5ii a bit more desirable/slightly more valuable when I come to sell it or part ex it.
