With the resent News of a Hack for the F5 .. You have to ask with more units sold then the F5 .... when do We FS700 owners get a Hack? Should we start a "Kickstart" project for this to raise funds for however can do this ??
 
The RX10 got XAVC-S.
I would be happy if Sony gave that to the FS700. And fixed the edge contrast issue.
Record 4K internal is not that important to me.
 
O7Q is already the best hack, hacked 4K on F5 sounds cool but not to compare with ProRes HQ or RAW DNG - and you don't have playback.
I don't know any Fullframe (Speedboosted), 120fps, 4K RAW camera in this class yet.

Of the sensor? That makes no sense, limitations of the motherboard and processing brain maybe. If 4K RAW can be outputted, XAVC S even more (unless there is some nuance that I am missing). I'm 99% percent positive that it could be done if Sony would like to do it. Codec is just an complex algorithm nothing more. It could be loaded with the firmware update.

It doesn't work that way. There has to be a "vulnerable" spot in the firmware to begin with. ITs not like Sony hides easter eggs in the firmware hoping someone finds it.

Lol. I'm no expert but I can tell you that's not the case. Of all the cameras out the fs700 has one of the fastest processors on the market. What camera is out that can do 960 fps under 10 grand?

Yeah the FS700 "shoots 960fps", if you can even call the ugly alias low res mess "video". It's like 280p.

I'm still a little convinced that Sony left this ALL file hack for the F5 in perhaps as an easter egg, or perhaps to be discovered by someone right before announcing a few new 4K cameras... but that would be highly speculative and my peers here would probably tell me to keep on wearing that tinfoil hat.
