Sony PMWF3L/RGB Brochure page 6

The right side of the camera has a familiar Sony
camcorder handgrip with zoom rocker control–a
clear indication of commitment to an upcoming
zoom lens specific to the F3. There are two 3-pin
XLR audio connectors (Line/Mic/+48v).

by after-market recording gurus at Codex, Cinedeck, etc.
3D Link is a future option that connects two F3 cameras in sync for
stereo shooting. When connected, both cameras can be managed
by one remote control. Genlock in and Timecode out are handled,
along with Metadata. You'll be able to record the left and right
cameras onto one memory card, if you like.
The camera that began as the "affordable 35mm" prototype may
soon become "the awardable 35mm" camera—providing an
innovative avenue to award-winning productions.
