Sony BURANO Camera Announced - 8.6K, Full Frame, AF, PL-Mount & IBIS, X-OCN LT & new XAVC H Codecs

[@Darmasdk]

Hah! Sorry for not being clear in the interview (It was a HOT day). 1 hours material will be roughly 770Gb Material - Shot in 16:9 X-OCN LT in 8.6K. Thanks for doing the video!

[@GeorgeFerree]

Please, for the love of whatever, support existing cameras (eg. a1 & a7s3).

[@TheTechnoPilot]

This makes far more sense! Thanks for the correction note!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

The Burano is way above my budget (at the moment). But, if there was a cinema camera I would truly want, it would be the Burano. Great job, Sony. And thanks, CineD for this video.

[@CineD]

you're welcome

[@petrub27]

''at the moment''

[@ResizeFilms]

Truly brilliant cinema camera packed with impressive features. IBIS with electronic VND on the same camera is nothing short of amazing! Well done Sony! 👏🏽

[@Bo_Hazem]

Very interesting interview and camera! Lots of amazing stuff going on here. I can already see the FX6 II having both ND's and IBIS.

[@ashok.vardhan.g]

If only Panasonic had remained in the cine market. Sony is going all-in, now that their competition is smaller. They are finally making a Varicam LT type camera, albeit modern specs, that Panasonic had in the market years ago.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Alexandru crushing the bts and interview filming 🎉 great video guys and awesome questions

[@CineD]

He did, love this guy 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@dsdddsd4543we]

Definitely feels like the box design of the FX6 but beefed up. However, Sony still has one more camera slot left at the $15K range to fill. T

[@deuralientertainment4075]

i love sony camera

[@hikertrashfilms]

You love being a sheep to Corporations

[@xWood4000]

Are Sony crazy? Open gate is going to be required in the FX6 mkII whenever that comes, and hopefully will even be in an FX30 mkii if it is ever released. Obviously the Burano must have open gate

[@2424rocket]

You need to get back onto your meds.

[@sondrevestheim]

Yeah, seems like they’re a bit afraid to cannibalize the Venice👀

[@TheTechnoPilot]

@@sondrevestheimthey acted shocked at the varied use cases for open-gate when I went to an early launch event for the FX9 and was disappointed at their ignorance even then!

[@artofmichel]

Very interesting camera. I really like the form factor. It almost looks like a more robust and upgraded FX6. For $25k they should definitely have a 3:2 or 4:3 open gate option for anamorphic.

[@CineD]

That's a MASSIVE upgrade though 😜

[@Apatura123]

They stated on the Sony Website, that the next Firmwareupdate will include 4:3 open gate. And they are open to input about future updates from the community.

[@shem44]

More like FX9 on steroids then FX6.

[@gregk1075]

@@Apatura123 Hey sorry to bother, but do you know where it says that? I've been looking for that!

[@oscarstegland]

If it's a 3:2 sensor (which it seems like) , there's no such thing as 4:3 open gate

[@throughtheglassparis]

On a 25k cam, I would expect it to have open gate 3:2 for anamorphic. Hopefully Sony will revise it before launch.

[@CineD]

Yep one would think so ... hopefully

[@danbrockettDOP]

EVF still looks a bit Wonky, based upon the video, similar concept as the Arri EVF setup, but badly executed. At $25k, I doubt many FX9 shooters will be buying it, seems more like a solid mid-range entry with some cool new features for a cine camera. Very interesting that Sony has gone to CF Express Type B! Hopefully the new crop of Sonys, as they come out, will all go to CF Express Type B eventually, the costs are MUCH more reasonable than the CFAs. Perfect B camera for a Venice 2 shoot. It'll be interesting to see how the market responds to this at it's price range. The C500 MKII was aimed at the lower end of the same market and I think it's safe to say that the sales of the 500 MKII were disappointing because the 300 MKIII was a better value. A cine camera with AF, VND, locking E-mount (but also PL) is innovative, I give Sony their due on this. I wonder how many units Sony would sell to consider the Burano a success?

[@waveland]

I’m at the stage now where any new cine system upgrades I purchase must offer a 3:2 (4:3?) open gate option.

[@braulioreynoso]

at 00:30 the guy had enough hahaha

[@8KHDRVideoBySittipong]

Would love to try it. I had used VENICE 6K for my work, so this BURANO sound interesting.

[@Team_399]

Burano looks amazing. Do you think there will be higher frame at higher resolution options?

[@mauraece]

I want this exact same camera with a Canon RF mount 😎

[@Bobbylopezcreative]

Xavc H IS coming to the other cameras. He gave it away. Finally! I need it on my fx6.

[@CineD]

Did he? Not so sure

[@dsdddsd4543we]

SmallHD needs to make an updated Viewfinder loupe for their new Focus 5 line. Sony was going in the right direction, but the loop should be able to swivel out the way.

[@TheTechnoPilot]

I still use my Sidefinder and just love it! I only wish I could use the 502 Bright in it and it had the computing power for full cross-conversation and LUT output plus audio pass through which it lacks. I’d jump on a new 5in OLED monitor with an ARRI style monitor/viewfinder setup.

[@dsdddsd4543we]

@@TheTechnoPilot Nice! I'm sure I can make a 3D Printed Version of the original sidefinder.

[@CineD]

that's a great idea actually 🤔🤔

[@GianniBarberi]

You know the name b. Comes from a small island of Venice, famous for glass creations. And i think the name is originally from thevery cold wind coming down from Russia

[@inv1cmaj]

Excellent interview ! This camera looks great. I'll upgrade from my trusty FS7 to the Burano next year. I wonder if Sony or someone else will come out with a mechanism to have the auto focus control a motor attached to the focus ring of manual PL lenses.

[@CineD]

I guess it would need LiDar for that

[@inv1cmaj]

It would just need the same sort of signal it sends to AF lenses, but instead send to a focus motor geared to the focus ring of a manual focus lens. Maybe they could use a serial signal sent via the TC output port. Obviously this would take and R&D effort.@@CineD

[@itsatekiar9750]

I see P.Bloom running around in the background.

[@danbrockettDOP]

Nice, we will have a four hour P. Bloom video on it soon! ;-)

[@grahmdoughty]

22:54 "It's not going to be an early Christmas grift"

[@CineD]

They've also pushed the release date to spring 2024

[@davidnealboomsatsuma820]

As mentioned by many professional DoPs on the CML forum, the VF Loupe is really badly conceived. Sure, attach an external EVF, but... get the display info all over the image. Why release such a great camera and not a decent EVF? Maybe they have a new one in the pipeline? Or maybe they are just being Sony?

[@CineD]

This was our feedback too. They need to do a proper viewfinder

[@trapromo]

nice camera and video, but hearing so little background noise... did you use ai voice enhance? which one ? its not the adobe one, that i can pick up quickly =p it was good ! =)

[@CineD]

Just good lavs 😊

[@GlavenMaven]

18:46 Spare fart! 😂

[@AllTheGearButSomeIdea]

Is it true that Sony A1 share the same sensor with Venice 2 and this Burano but with minor tweaks?

[@aidinmarat264]

They wouldn't use stills sensor on the filming camera as there are another requirements in terms of filming than stills. Stills sensors just don't have that much resources.

[@2424rocket]

Keep dreaming

[@Darmasdk]

You're somewhat right. The A1, VENICE and BURANO use EXMOR RS sensor technology. The "S" stands for "Stacked Ram" which gives superb readout speed with minimal rolling shutter. FX30-9 uses EXMOR R. A lower cost sensor which has a higher rolling shutter. But none of the camera have exact same sensor, all are a tiny bit different

[@parttimepaul]

How are they doing that RAW format? Is it Sonys own? Can it be brought to other cameras below in the fx series?

[@TheTechnoPilot]

They won’t, it is a Venice feature and they would consider it cannibalism.

[@erikpreston2393]

I wonder if FX-9 prices just might drop... !

[@danbrockettDOP]

They already did, B&H has had the FX9 discounted $1,000 for weeks...

[@Designguidetv]

how do you oversample a raw bayer pattern without throwing away pixels?

[@mauraece]

Discrete Cosine Transform 😎

[@barrygormley]

How are they getting around Reds ridiculous patents on RAW. Are they just not calling it RAW or are they paying red?

[@JorgeJrAguillon]

What do you mean? Does only Red can use the term "raw"?

[@mauraece]

Sony defeated Red in court, now anyone can do in camera compressed raw

[@mauraece]

Red had to settle with Sony as Sony counter sued and have such a deep imaging patent portfolio they could have easily put Red out of business. Red's patent expires in 2028

[@erikpreston2393]

Has some ZV-E1 technology AI autofocus

[@baekmedier]

Hope that Canon is answering soon...

[@GeorgeFerree]

Oh, Sony wants feedback on their products? Here’s a wild idea, quit abandoning a product as soon as it hits the shelves. Support. Your. Consumers. Otherwise you’re going to lose them (like a frustrated as hell me *points to self*).

[@phpn99]

Unfortunately the initial sample footage with the pretty girl doesn't look very good. Maybe revise what LUT you are using ?

[@KevKlopper]

3.5 inch touch monitor and no alternatives. Are we really still in 2009?

[@younghils]

just call it the fx11 lol

[@phoenixmedia7476]

Is it me, or there's a sh*t ton of noise in the picture?

[@CineD]

That's our bad grading, we had to slap a LUT on because of time pressure. Don't judge the image from the camera in this video! We'll check with Sony if we can make the original files available for download.

[@gabrielmachadobsb]

No Open Gate? Seriously? That's now a basic feature, even $1300 fuji cameras are doing it and Sony still refuses to provide it in any camera but the Venice? That's beyond disappointing, and unacceptable for a $25k camera

[@CineD]

100% agreed

[@Grug86]

If you want to shoot for 3:2, this camera will give you a 7284 x 4856 image, and it'll do so on a slightly larger surface area than Open Gate on the Alexas. How much more image than that do you need? (and what for?)

[@ItsBerg]

The footage looks like ass… the interview talking parts with the Sony gent looks better than the photo CineD took.

[@KenFlanagan]

Why does the sample footage look so poorly graded. If its a 709 lut slapped on then its doing the image no favours. The bts looks nicer. Maybe its just me??

[@CineD]

it literally is a LUT slapped on because we had no time to finish this properly... but we never said that's a review :) a proper review with proper grading will follow

[@KenFlanagan]

@@CineD I totally appreciate that but im always surprised that when everyone is super excited to see a new camera that the first thing that is out there ought to be some camera masters that can be downloaded like they have with the venice or arri. Maybe you are not allowed but in general anyone interested in a camera at this or any range wants to know what the footage actually is like ungraded not least assuming its amazing that the files dont break the computer system. I didnt see any files available from sony. ?? The functionality of a camera can be done in five minutes as these features are now pretty universal and as much fun as it is in kicking the tyres of a camera what is under the hood is really what makes things interesting. In my opinion so called in depth camera tests are rarely useful if they don’t contain the masters to download. The specs and price of this camera speak for themselves as do the files available all in the manual. Unless we can apply stabilisation in post to the three axis in camera and say yep that works then that feature cant be ticked iff the spec sheet as there and working. No open gate for anamorphic cant be fixed. The sensor can always be cropped but that isnt the same. It would have great if you guys had pressed them on that. Clearly that is a massive delineator from the venice helium and alexa. Why? Maybe 8k is plenty to crop in on? Thx so much.

[@deepseadiver8191]

Impossible to make the info about frame rates, codecs, scans, recording times, etc. more confusing. Impossible! Sony, fire that guy, seriously!

[@Darmasdk]

Apologies for the confusion. I'll try and do better. Unless SONY fires me before I get the chance. ;) Thanks for the input, I've taken notes on what to improve on. BR Daniel

[@2424rocket]

Now here’s a camera I’m excited about. I hate the look of the Venice… It looks like a soap opera. I would’ve bought a Red over the Venice any day. But here’s a camera that looks great… the clips they showed looked much more “film like”… and the price is extraordinary for what you’re getting.

[@EastonOliver]

if it looks like a soap opera, that’s not the cameras fault. it’s the lighting and art design and overall cinematography.

[@hikertrashfilms]

Sony will brick firmware support in 6 months, just like they did with the Alpha 1. Never buying another Sony Camera until the A1 Firmware is addressed

[@theoantoniou7002]

Yes,...but no. It's too expensive.

[@ramonsahi5802]

nothing new or interesting in this camera >>>> Panasonic S5 IIX AND Nikon Z9 is better compered to the price and specs
