Sony and Panasonic are teasing new cameras which are slated for official announcement subsequent week. Panasonic’s seems to be a “G” collection digicam, whereas Sony is anticipated to announce a brand new CineAlta known as the Burano.
As they’re teasers, little or no was shared about both system apart from hints about their positions of their respective strains in addition to announcement occasions.
Sony CineAlta ‘Burano’
The Burano seems to be an addition to Sony’s CineAlta line, what’s now primarily identified for its full-frame cinema cameras and at the moment contains the Venice and Venice 2 (accessible in each an 8.6K and 6K model). Whereas full-frame is the place Sony has centered its efforts currently, the CineAlta model has been used since 1999. In that point, the corporate has included a variety of cameras with a wide range of sensor sizes.
For instance, earlier than the Venice digicam was introduced in 2017, Sony beforehand up to date the CineAlta line with the F5 and F55 which launched in 2012. These programs used a Super35 CMOS sensor and have been able to taking pictures at 4K and 2K and as much as 60 and 240 frames per second, respectively.
The Venice boosted the sensor measurement to full-frame however capped body charges at 60p in 5K and 30p in 6K. The newer Venice 2 cameras are able to even larger resolutions and body charges, because the 8.6K model can seize as much as 30 frames per second at most decision and as much as 90 frames per second at 5.8K. The 6K model can match the 90 frames per second at most decision but additionally can seize 4K at as much as 110 frames per second.
As of 2023, solely the Venice cameras are thought of present within the CineAlta line and Sony seems poised so as to add an alternative choice subsequent week, though what it’s going to carry to the desk stays unknown.
Sony will announce the CineAlta Burano on September 12 at 7 AM PDT.
Panasonic ‘G’ Digicam
Whereas scant little was shared in regards to the Burano, even much less was teased by Panasonic.

Of notice, the diagram of the lens mount doesn’t seem like an L-mount, because the digital connection pins proven are under the sensor; they’re above the sensor on L-mount. That association is per Micro 4 Thirds, nonetheless. Using the phrase “section” and the looks of this mount would possibly sign the addition of section detection autofocus onto a Panasonic Micro 4 Thirds digicam, which might be a primary for the corporate. That is, in fact, solely hypothesis.
