This was the free upgrade to firmware 2.0, 4K not included. That's still an extra $500US
EDIT: Just to be clear, the camera is $1999 US as it has been for the last few months. No change in price....

Re: Sony email
Finally purchased the camera. It came with the free Version 2 firmware installed. The ship date to my dealer looked like the last week of July.

I'm concerned because it could well...

Re: Sony X70 4K - Lowest bit rate in the industry!
Jody, Cliff doesn't believe eyeballs. That's why I mention a comparison using MediaInfo. That will provide the "numbers" Cliff loves. My own hunch is there might be things other than the data rate...
