Sony continues its commitment to the CineAlta camera range by announcing a new, faster 4K Raw recorder - AXS-R7 for the F55/F5 cameras. The new raw recorder is capable of 4K RAW Recording at 120 frames per second as well as Cache Raw Recording, which documentary and wildlife productions will love. There are also new AXS media cards for the new recorder, and Sony also announced details for the next Firmware Version 8.0 for the F5/F55 cameras.

Sony just announced a brand new 4K camcorder - the PXW-Z150 XDCAM features a brand new 20 megapixel Exmor RS stacked 1-inch sensor, 4K UHD up to 30 frames per second in the XAVC-L codec, a 12x Optical Zoom lens expandable to 18x in 4K and 24x in FHD thanks to Sony's proprietary Clear Image Zoom technology, and the blazing fast 120fps Super Slow Motion in HD.

JVC have just announced the latest firmware update for their LS300 Super35 4K camcorder - and this time the camera will receive the whopping 120fps for super-slow motion in HD. The free firmware is expected to be released in April. We have a hunch that this may happen around NAB 2016.

The PIX-E series recorders from Video Devices are not just excellent 4K ProRes recorders offering a professional high-bit rate solution to bypass any camera's internal recording codec, but they are also amazing monitors. With the new firmware update version 1.30, Video Devices provides PIX-E5/E5H and PIX-E7 users with an expanded anamorphic de-squeeze options, a new LCD Orientation menu, and support for the ARRI Amira camera.

Renowned monitor manufacturer SmallHD just added a couple of affordable 7-inch monitors to their 700 series monitor line-up. The new 701 Lite and 702 Lite monitors are the perfect tools for DSLR operators and those DoP's using Super 35 cameras with LOG gamma.
