I am aware of this, but the camera itself is not internally processing the entire file and writing it to an SD card. I am asking if it has the potential to externally send the signal for an external recorder to process the information and record it.

Now if the a7s/a7sii does not have the processing power to even send a 10 bit signal over HDMI, then that would be an issue with what I'm asking.

I suppose it could require new hardware, but I'm not sure if it's that much more for the camera to process since it's being sent to an external recorder.

I know why they didn't want to include 10 bit output in the a7 series due to protecting the sales of their higher end cameras, but I think Sony will need to make an upgrade or they could lose out in sales with the GH5 coming out and recording 10 bit internally.

The Photoflex softboxes are where my research has really led me. Thanks for the info and response. I'm going to check out the specific models and then probably pull the trigger on one. Thanks Guy!

I'm located in Southern California! I'd love to help out if I can!

Have you considered the Sony a7s?

What exactly are you referring to by 'focus'?
