Sony

Ever since it's introduction almost a year ago at last year's IBC trade show in Amsterdam, the 4K Sony PXW-FS7 departs from traditional Super35mm camera design as it combines lightweight optics, efficient compression with high-performance 4K, excellent color, wide dynamic range, in a minimalist, rig-less, ergonomic package optimized for Cinéma Vérité type production.

Sony just released the latest firmware for their PXW-FS7 camera, which fixed some bugs and improves on a few features. See details of what's included in the latest firmware below.

Sony has today announced the HXR‐NX100, the latest addition to its NXCAM range of professional camcorders with high technology and cost performance. Sony has combined stunning picture quality, easy operability and a wide selection of recording formats into a device that supports multiple choices for a range of professional applications, from events to documentaries.

Sony continue to improve and enhance their PMW-F5/F55 cameras by adding feature rich firmware updates, this time around in the latest firmware update version 6.0 implementing ProRes HD 4444 with the optional CBK-55PD installed, among other features.

The tiny “4K Ready” camera from Sony - the PXW-X70 has been proving quite popular with documentary and event shooters given its small form factor. Apart from its size, the other most impressive feature in my opinion is the 10bit 422 Long-GOP codec and the fact that you can upgrade the camera to shoot 4K with the upcoming (paid) firmware in June, thus future-proofing your purchase.
