Sony F55:
The Sony F55’s sensor captures with an impressive 14 stops of exposure latitude with excellent sensitivity and low noise. The F55 is among the first digital motion picture cameras with a global shutter, which completely eliminates motion skew and other rolling shutter distortions. Sony has designed the F55 as the foundation of an exceptionally versatile and modular system. Many digital sensors can match and even surpass traditional motion picture film for resolution and low-light image quality, however, film has maintained an advantage over most digital sensors in the realm of dynamic range. In the case of the F55’s exposure, it can deliver truly filmlike rendering of highlights and shadows. The F55 incorporates the same advanced color filter array technology as Sony’s flagship F65, for a color gamut that is even wider than motion picture film. The Sony F55 onboard 4K recording requires high data rate recording media, and the F55 will use Sony’s newly developed SxS PRO+ memory cards. A 128GB card will provide enough space for approximately 40 minutes of 4K video in the XAVC Intra 422 format. SxS PRO+ cards will also allow onboard recording of 2K video at up to 180 frames per second as well as SStP 4:4:4 at 440 Mb/s when set to RGB.
