Sony has introduced two new models in their Cine Alta-series of cameras, F5 and F55.
F5 is a significant upgrade over F3. F55 is positioned below F65 in the product line.
The audio inputs and timecode are on separate modules. IMHO, they really did their homework on this one. I think that these will sell like hot cakes.
To quote:
"The connections you need
The camera offers vital connections, including four HD-SDI jacks, HDMI®, USB, DC IN connection, a removable XLR audio module and a removable time code/genlock module. The XLR inputs accept balanced analog signals, provide 48-Volt phantom power and will accept four channels of AES/EBU digital audio with an expected firmware upgrade."
