My F3 Christmas Wish List

OK.  So we didn't all blow up today - YAY!!!  Now it's time to start thinking about questions for the big man in red ( and I don't mean Jim Jannard =)

Here's my wish list for my Sony F3 from Sony in 2013:

• Could we get an upgrade for 4:2:2 internal recording with 50 m/bits throughput?
• Is there enough processing power to give us RAW out of the F3?
• If the sensor is 4K can it be De-Bayer'd down to 2K to an external recorder?
• Can we us the new faster SxS cards with an upgrade to the firmware?
• If not free, could this be done for a purchased upgrade under $2000?

So,  obviously what I'm aiming for here is a 2K RAW F3 upgrade for under $2000 to extend the life of our cameras as we start to save up for the F5 and F55.  I think we'll need another year or two for 4K to be requested by clients and this gives us a path to stick with and the ability to use our current configurations a little longer.

Seems like there is 'a storm a brewin' for the 4K market but we won't know anything until it passes.  If these cameras can be upgraded for a few bucks now and stay relevant until the new crop (no pun intended ) of sensors is released - could be a good thing.

Just thinking out loud... Santa Sony are you listening???

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.  I look forward to hearing from you in 2013 =)

Until next time, good shooting.
