Over the last several months Canon has been announcing updates to their EOS Cinema line of cameras. Canon has definitely shown a firm commitment to upgrading their cameras in response to user feedback. With so many recent updates, and more on the way, we wanted to put together a quick timeline for each of their cameras.

Over the last couple of days, we've had some time to play with Sony's recently-released F5/F55 firmware version 3.0. The new firmware has tons of updates, which are outlined in Jeff's previous blog, but I wanted to specifically highlight a couple of the new features including Super16 Center Scan mode, new LUT options, and High Frame Rate mode.

The PCU2 is the latest generation of AbelCine's popular control unit for Phantom cameras. The PCU2 is compatible with most Phantom cameras (including the Flex4K) and can simultaneously control two cameras in a stereo 3D configuration. The PCU2 adds Bluetooth capability for wireless control.

Sony has added a ton of new features to the F5 and F55 with the release of their version 2.0 firmware (which you can download directly from Sony's Community site).

Yesterday, Sony announced an updated firmware roadmap which outlines a bunch of great new features for the F55 and F5 coming in the months ahead.

A little while ago, Sony released the latest firmware for the F5 & F55 cameras, as well as the AXS-R5 Raw recorder. Version 1.15 of the F5/F55 firmware has some small incremental updates, with mostly bug fixes included. However, some big changes include improved naming conventions on the AXS card, de-anamorphic function on the viewfinder, and a warning when you haven't black balanced in a while.

It seems like this is a popular week for firmware upgrades! As promised several months ago, Canon has officially released the much-awaited firmware update for the 5D Mark III that enables a clean HDMI output.

These days a camera is only as good as its last firmware update. Sony recently announced the release of v1.1 firmware for the PMW-200, and one of the most exciting new features is the addition of auto back focus adjustment to the camera.

Recently, Alphatron released firmware version 0.5 for their Alphatron EVF electronic viewfinder.
