F5 and F55: What’s the difference?
Our F5 and F55 have now arrived. They’re relatively new to the market and subsequently we’re asked a lot of questions about their specifications. Plus a big one: what’s the difference?
Our Technical Manager Colin Coomber has put together the following which lays out the important features of both cameras and highlights the differences (see in red). In addition, it includes details of the 3 upgrades planned for release this year and the differences between those too.
