Trying to see if getting the F5 is worth the price of the getting it with the f3 which may be close to 30k once you get the cards, 4k recorder, etc. Seeing the differences in the sensor, motion, signal to noise, all those things in terms of a comparison to the F3.
Does anyone know off the tops of their heads? Is the sensor different in the F5 than the F3. I assume all this knowledge is floating around the web more. I know it also has s-log2 - what is the advantages of that over s-log 1?
Also it's a little lighter and better made, and of course has a better internal codec.
I can't wait to try this thing out once it comes up . And maybe Sony could give a credit to people who purchases the s log at full price towards the camera. Wish on a star.
