Sony F3 Firmware Upgrade Cost

The Sony PMW-F3 costs a whopping $16,000 (you could buy 3 AF-100's for the same money) but is supposed to be worth the cost because of the S-log and dual link option.  What Sony doesn't mention is the firmware upgrade to get these functions was going to cost more.

Sony just tweeted the cost of the firmware upgrade.   To get the dual link RGB, S-log, 3G, and 9 pre-loaded LUTS to monitor the S-log is going to run you another $3500 bucks.

Here's a little more about the advantages of S-Log.




The biggest disadvantages are you do have to color correct everything in post and I've read that when you use S-Log mode you loose a stop.
