Sony unveiled its new Sony FS5 Mark II camera and it's a little bit of an upgrade to the previous FS5. The sensor is the same but they took the color science from the Sony Venice to provide better skin tones and a more cinematic look. With the original FS5, you had to pay for the licensing for RAW output and 120 fps continuous HD recording. The new and improved FS5 Mark II comes with all the licensing straight of out of the box. The FS5 Mark II has the option to output RAW to external recorders like Atomos and Convergent Design and record 4K 120fps at 4-second bursts. The camera is available this June. The body will cost $4,750 USD.
