The Sony PMW-F5 to PMW-F55 Upgrade Kit is an optional hardware and firmware upgrade which replaces the CMOS sensor of the F5 with the sensor used in the F55, offering integrated Frame Image Scanning, Ultra Wide Color Gamut with the same color filter array and the same image quality of an F55. Get onboard XAVC 4K recording and 4K live signal output capabilities via 3G-SDI and HDMI.
