PMW F3 Kipro Mini

re the firmware upgrade for the F3: is this something that “comes with” the cameras that you can buy now, or is this an option that must be added, even to new cameras?

Bob,

The RGB444 “Option” is a paid for upgrade to the tune of $3680.

It does however come on a 32Gb SxS card which you can use, and the upgrade can be transported on that card from camera to camera.

I wonder whether Sony would actually make more money, from selling these cards, if they came with a great firmware upgrade for an extra $100 – instead of an extra $3000 or so.

Does Sony care whether the same firmware purchase is used on multiple cameras?

It can only be installed on one camera at a time
