Sony has a new 4K ½-inch 3-chip video camera - Sony PXW-Z300

I'm surprised he doesn't have an FX6 to go with the Z200. Every time I've used a Burano I couldn't wait to get rid of it.

I can't wait to see Doug's review of this camera.

Doug: "Hi, I'm Doug Jensen. This is the Sony Burano, Sony's latest high end CineAlta camera, and every time I've used it I can't wait to be rid of it."

:-)

Ha, ha. That's a good one Andrew, and it hits a little too close to home. :-) It is hard to get enthusiastic about a camera that might be a great choice for some people, but doesn't tick very many of the boxes for my needs.

David Winter's latest video where he compares his Z200 to his Burano.

Yes, the two cameras match very well with similar settings. I'll bet the Z300 and FX6 would also match up very close with those two.

I wish Sony would make a Z90 V2 with 4K 10bit 60/50P.
That would do it for me.
Keep the same size everything, I would pre order.
