Is the Sony F55 Becoming the new Betacam?

January 7, 2014 forum topics
Just throwing out the question because in the last two days I’ve heard of five more Northeast freelancers buying the F5 or the F55. I raise the question only based on the perception that more and more shooters are going with this system and it seems to me that the camera is increasing in popularity, making it the go-to camera like Beta was a decade ago. I went with the 55 and have seen steady rise in its interest and use. Any thoughts?
