F5 and F55 Release Event at Sony Lot in Hollywood

How many and what strength built-in ND filters did they settle on? Last I heard it was 3 and 6 but for 2000 ISO it should be greater...

The thing that strikes me as odd with the new camera design is it seems like it was designed as a cheaper Sony Alexa, then halfway through the process they wanted it to be a single operator camera. Operated from the shoulder the screen and buttons are pressed against your face. The headphone jack is also on the left/operator side of the camera while the xlr's are on the right side. So if you're connecting a breakaway audio cable it's gotta be wrapped around the camera someway with the headphone cable pushing into the operator's cheek. Strangely only one record button near the operators face as well.

I thought that was an unusual place to put the the audio output too. I've been studying the pictures in the FD Times handout we received and I don't see any other audio output on the dumb side of the camera. Looks like you're either going to have your headphone plug jabbing you in the neck or an audio return cable draped right over the menu screen.

Its a pretty minor thing, but irritating nonetheless. I think they should have put some kind of output on the audio module itself.
 
I noticed that as well in my hands-on several weeks ago. Strange place for audio jack. Make a note of that for the F7 and F77.

Just be aware Richard, the F5's 4 HD-SDI outputs won't actually output a 4K signal for recording to a 3rd party recorder. Only the F55 does that.

I just wanted to post to offer some clarification. The AJA Ki Pro Quad that was seen at the Sony event was attached to the Sony PMW-F5. It was receiving an HD signal from the Sony PMW-F5, not a 4K or Quad HD signal. The Ki Pro Quad offers support for HD, 2K, Quad HD or 4K. The Sony PMW-F55, which is capable of 4K or Quad HD output via 4x 3G-SDI connectors, could be coupled with a Ki Pro Quad since it features 4x 3G-SDI inputs.

I hope this information is helpful,
