Sony teases a 4K camera
Engadget HD has the info on this tease of a new Sony 4K camera, being announced on the 30th.
It will be 4K, with broadcast quality 50Mbps data rate and a 4:2:2 color space and high frame rates and likely in the CineAlta PMW-F3 range. And that is an amazing camera, so this will likely be too, though that is still some serious compression for 4K.

PVC takes a look at the Sony F65
| The Provideo Coalition has a first look at number 15 of the Sony F65. It is an interesting read. I hadn’t realized just how beta the camera is right now, seems much like working with a RED with many features not implemented, but on there way. Looking forward to seeing the quality of this though as it is supposed to be spectacular. |
