I would say this... an upgrade path to 4k. Hear me out please:
Have a paid upgrade ability to send in your F3 to have the sensor and some boards switched out to 4K capable parts. To my understanding all that would be needed to be replaced is the sensor block and board with some software to boot.
If this is possible it would GREATLY keep your customers happy. Having to buy a new camera over and over again is quite annoying, and most cinema camera systems are leaning towards the modular design, making it possibly to upgrade without serious investment in new camera every time.
If not possible for the F3, the F5 must have this ability to insure its success. At these price ranges new competition will be doing this as well. The ability to upgrade a sensor without upgrading an entire camera is really important as well as the ability to upgrade the internal media ability.

I do hope you are all forwarding your great suggestions to Sony directly. Nobody from Sony is monitoring this discussion; they really want suggestions directly to production@am.sony.com

^ yes 60p 1080 in camera for sure.
As for my 4k comment honestly I'd take 50mbps over 4k - but not sure that's going to ever happen.
