Engadget has the info on Sony’s newest portable camera. This has a built in 26mm-260mm lens (35 MM equivalent) Full XLR input for sound, 96GB of internal Memory for recording 1920x1080 in 60p, 30p or 24p or 720 60p. It Records in AVCHD and most strangely has a built in projector.

To me it sounds like a HVX200 competitor, and I have loved what footage from Sony’s has looked like of late, so I am interested in seeing what the footage from this camera looks like, especially for under $2000.

Review of Sony NEX-FS100

Adam Wilt at the Pro Video Coalition has an extensive review of the Sony NEX-FS100 that is well worth checking out. I hadn’t realized it has the same sensor as the PMW-F3. This is really a great extensive review, and you should check it out.

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.

Sony's F65 CineAlta, a true 4K Camera

F65
on the Sony showing off it’s soon to be released F65 CineAlta with supposedly true 4K, though it in fact has an 8K Super 35 MM Sensor.
Sony has released some videos on it. You can watch the
F65 Presentation from Creatasphere in Burbank, CA. The F65 Behind the Scenes, and the F65 ‘The Arrival’ Behind the Scenes.
And you can check out the
official web site, and download the Preliminary Brochure.
And at $65K Pretty Reasonable, not as cheap as a Red, but reasonable.
It is CMOS, but hopefully they have worked out the Rolling Shutter issue, and the addition of a Rotary Shutter is pretty cool. And it of course can capture in it’s own RAW (or the SR Codec to tape with an external recorder).
I am sure Sony has made an amazing Cinema camera here, and it is pretty exciting. I wonder what the RAW workflow will be? Will it be as difficult as the RED workflow?

Sony shows Crystal LED at CES 2012

Sony showed off a new television technology called Crystal LED, which is literally every pixel is a RGB LED pixel, has better contrast and a lower power consumption.

You can check out a YouTube video, or more from sony at CES at their blog.

Looks like this tech is a bit in the future, but sounds very cool, and I have seen described as between plasma and lcd. Personally deeper black is very exciting, and with individual led’s it should have pretty good color fidelity.

Now I just wonder how expensive it will be.
