CBK-RGB01 Now Included Free
We are also pleased to confirm that the S-Log/RGB option (CBKRGB01) will be supplied free of charge with the PMW-F3K and PMW-F3L on an ongoing basis. This will not be bundled in the camera carton, but must be ordered at $0 with each camera and will be supplied as a separate item. Dealers with any existing camera stock on hand should contact their Account Manager to arrange supply of the option.
Inclusion of the S-Log/RGB 444 output feature as part of the basic package further enhances the extraordinary value offered by the PMW-F3. This camera continues to build a solid reputation for image quality and performance – borne out by its outstanding showing in the Zacuto “Revenge of the Great Camera Shootout 2012” camera tests screened recently in Australia and NZ - http://www.zacuto.com/shootout-revenge-2012 - where many ranked it amongst the top three performers.
