The SSR-1 is compatible with both the F23 and F35 cameras.
The F35 achieves effective noise-free sensitivity up to 1000 ISO while the Genesis does not reach this level.
The F35 provides greater control and flexibility through its S-LOG gamma curve compared to the Genesis Panalog color science.
The F35 offers significantly more latitude in post-production workflows than the Genesis.
A new viewfinder from a specific manufacturer was planned for introduction at NAB.
Alternative viewfinders designed by P+S Technik are being considered for compatibility with Genesis and Sony cameras, offering an Arri-style design in both electronic and optical versions.
The eyepiece design on both Genesis and F35 cameras was noted as substandard despite incremental improvements.
