Dream camera. Here's to hoping that some of these amazing features trickle down to the next iteration of the FX lineup!

NICE!!! I also had the camera only for a short time but grading an entire project made me fall in love with it! I suspect a firmware update with the production models might have some improvements but overall I really really dig it!

[@Mr.Monta77]

I used to shoot with low band Sony video cameras in the 1980s and then hiband and later with Sony digital videocameras. Sony was a mastodont back then and Sony camcorders were incredibly expensive.

[@artofmichel]

Promising camera that I’m sure will be useful for many types of professional projects. It reminds me of an FX6 in terms of form factor. Hopefully they will update the camera with an open gate option for anamorphic filming.

[@JoATTech]

But the sensor is physically 17:9 i think ... so 3:2 in crop modes only (does not matter that much).

[@geoffreybassett6741]

@@JoATTech It is not, it's a 3:2 sensor.

[@JoATTech]

@@geoffreybassett6741 Ok, that's good news, I though it's like FX6 17:9. But still, the price a little to steep for me :D. Anyway I would like to have this 3:2 for cinemascope 2.4:1 with 1.6x lenses. And generally more flexibility with different squeeze ratios.

[@danbrockettDOP]

Excellent breakdown and tests CVP, your coverage is superior to the others I've watched today shot at the release event. In today's episodic/documentary/corporate production environment of doing more with less, it'll be interesting to see how the market responds to a camera in this price range. I give Sony props for AF, VND, IBIS and E-Mount on a camera like this, that is unprecedented, well done and for what the camera delivers spec-wise, it seems like a good value, I just don't know if people will drop $30k with accessories on a camera that isn't really designed for features/narrative/crewed production. Time will tell. I give Sony a "What were you thinking?" on the EVF mess and the lack of open gate. Third party solutions from Zacuto or others will mitigate the terrible monitor/EVF setup, to a point but when we can buy a $2,000 Lumix S5 II X or a $2,500 XH-2S with 6.2k open gate, there is no excuse for not including it on this camera.

[@CVPTV]

Let us know what you think of the Sony BURANO down below! EDIT - The graphic at 13:05 says tiny but is supposed to say Tint!

[@kataichanda]

When the Venice 2 came out, I made a comment on the CVP post about how disappointed I was when it lacked the game changing Electronic Variable ND filters, mainstream media cards, 8k slow motion at 75fps and Sony's excellent auto focus. This is the camera I was actually looking for. From price point, features and body shape, it's the perfect camera for Cinema and Documentary work. The motion picture landscape has evolved to such a point that a camera must be capable of being modified to fit any job at hand. Be it a full crew or a solo shooter. The same camera needs to work for whatever job it's being used for.

[@willmakesvids]

Seems like it will be a limited market. Neither one nor the other - has the market asked for this?

[@kataichanda]

@@willmakesvids Trust me. The market is there for this camera. I am a camera operator on a TV show. We use the Fx6 with Atomos for RAW. The 4K on the Fx6 is good but not enough when you want to crop in post as footage is submitted in 4K. The Prores RAW is okay, but its better when done Internal.

[@petersuvara]

So, they built a Nikon Z9 with an ND filter, for five times the price...

[@eaglewolf3964]

Are you a filmmaker? whats yoiur site?

[@EliasAbrahamFilmEditor]

[@ronbackal]

That looks amazing :-) Can't wait to buy this camera

[@bwest6275]

Finally the variable ND and IBIS together 👍

[@tommypickles13]

I was just talking to someone about when Sony will come out with a "Mini Venice" and this is exactly it. Having shot a lot on Venice, 6k is more then enough for most projects. S35 mode allows for higher framerates and use of your vintage glass. Plus, it works with standard 12v batteries that are easily accessible. My gripes as an AC are that the viewfinder is trash, and I'll miss the screens on the side of the camera. Even an express screen like the A35 on the assistant side would have been nice. Not much real estate to mount things like Teradek's/ MDR's on, but a plate can fix that soon hopefully. All-in-all, a very impressive camera, with tons of options!

[@Arseny.Petukhov]

What a perfect camera! Thank you for such a comprehensive review so early! I hope they won't have any stock issues as they had with FX6. I'm really looking forward to buy it as soon it become available for purchase. I wanted to ask you in which format did you shoot 8k when you tested rolling shutter performance at 13:40? Was it RAW X-OCN or h.265? Because it looks like it has ±8 ms rolling shutter, when Venice 2 has ±3 ms which is in line with Sony 1 in photo mode. There's an argument that RAW uses much less processing power that's why it can output video with such low rolling shutter. I wonder perhaps it becomes higher if you start shooting in h.265. Thank you!

[@johnclay7644]

informative video thanks CVP.

[@kieransparrow1836]

Looks nice but also looks to have a lot of the usual Sony cine frustrations: - Weird limitations on 24.000P - Nothing taller than 16:9 (even in crop modes) despite using a 3:2 sensor - Outdated or cheap accessory design choices that are out of place on a £21K+ CineAlta camera - And of course, the jumbled menus & missing firmware features. It's really frustrating how determined Sony are to make a great camera and immediately shoot themselves in the foot. As an FX6 owner/op, the Burano just looks to be a more expensive way of getting the same frustration (even though I really love the image and versatility from both). Ultimately these things are what pushed me to Arri instead. Disappointing that they couldn't bring over more of what makes the Venice such a great package.

[@avx111]

I wish I could afford to be pushed to Arri.

[@the180degreerule3]

😂😂you would be pushed on your own without any camera brand trying to 😂😂@@avx111

[@kieransparrow1836]

@@avx111 Assuming you're using it professionally, its more affordable than it looks initially. A good deal on a second hand unit + income from renting it out + marketing value that comes with owning an Alexa (either for rental or for clients) + resale value when you eventually move on can all be used to bring the true cost down dramatically. There's a good video by Blaine Westropp on it if you're interested. Buying an Alexa/Amira won't magically bring you more jobs, but "this is the same camera most blockbuster movies are shot on" is a nice marketing point to throw around.

[@sunnynaguri]

Though it is difficult to mount, this loupe looks so much robust than the one available for the FX cameras. Partly because of the solid mount. It is probably not possible but would be nice to see if we can mount this loupe (/monitor) on the FX6 since it uses the same connector.

[@Grug86]

Great review as always guys! How long is the LCD's cable? Will the extension cable you've designed for the FX6 work with it?

[@JorgeDourado]

Hi! As always great work guys! I was wonder, how about setting the Burano on a Dji RS3 Pro, will it work? Yes considering a "normal" lens not heavy lens. Thanks, cheers!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

At the moment, Sony's high end cameras are out of reach for my budget. But, if I were to consider one, the Burano looks like an excellent choice. It's good to see a cinema line camera with AF and AI technology. Along with the internal/Auto ND's as well. Great overview as usual.

[@williamjfrancefilm]

[@GreatCassian]

This is the fx9 II i was dreaming of (except X-OCN). But Sony decided they make it part of "cine alta" and double the price tag. More and more it becomes clear that the good times when we get better and better cine cams for less and less money is over. The Komodo X was no negative exception.

[@2424rocket]

What are you talking about? This camera is dirt cheap for what you’re getting. A standard definition digiBeta camera of 15 years ago was $40,000. This does 8K, 6K, and 4K for 25,000… That’s a giveaway.

[@WestonNey3000]

This camera is priced amazingly compared to its direct competition. And Sony is kind enough to make cameras under $10k that are very similar if you don’t have the budget. They want to have a cinema camera for every price point and I think that’s amazing.

[@TimmyAdejumo]

Great video, i love it. Plus I think the BURANO is a perfect camera for its target market. also for the fact that for a cinema camera that has RAW functionality it also has AF its mind blowing. plus pro audio inputs on the body IBIS, its a dream

Thank you for putting together such a thorough review. Two questions: Do you think higher frame rates will be in the production model? 6k 120? Even FF 4k 120? Also, if shooting in X-OCN is it still advised to over expose the image as in S-Log3? Thanks in advance.

[@robwood65]

Interesting about the viewfinder design. I can see that it may look like a mistake to have a mirror in the loupe with all the rigging issues but it's a good move. I can say from experience that a loupe that doesn't have a mirror will eventually burn a hole (via sunlight) into your LCD. The mirror seems to take out most of the energy from the sun.

[@ResizeFilms]

Simply amazing cinema camera. 👏🏽

[@xWood4000]

It's crazy that a $25k camera doesn't have open gate. The XS-20 has it and is $1.5k and the S5IIX has it too. The FX6 mkii whenever that is released should have open gate to not even mention the burano. It'd be nice if the FX30 mkii also had it if it's ever released

@@winterkat8693 I think they're licensing from red, at least nowadays as a decade ago red did sue them but they settled when Sony pointed out where red may have been infringing on their patents (at least that's how I remember it)

[@Mionwang]

@@winterkat8693 no, red somehow managed to patent internal compressed raw. I don't know precisely what constitutes that since the patent itself was very vague. But brands like blackmagic got around that patent by partially debayering in camera before the raw compression. I'm not sure how X-OCN handles that, but probably it's something similar since noise reduction can be applied when filming raw as well. That said, I've worked with plenty of X-OCN footage and it's definitely my favorite raw codec, on par with B-raw. Redcode raw is great, but it requires some seriously powerful and/or dedicated computer hardware to handle redcode raw without proxies.

[@winterkat8693]

@@Mionwang aah cool. I have had experience with B-raw and I was very surprised that it worked on a potato of a pc. but the raw file size are really scary. But cool.

[@girafingo9280]

The specs are insane - but if you ignore them for a second and look solely at image quality - I still think it falls well below the Arri gold standard. The shot at 11:24 looks like FX9 footage. Not entirely sold on it being a baby Venice but clearly a step up on the FX9.

[@Alexmcasteel]

as a venice owner i can say yeah im not sold on this at all. Great camera but 30k LOL would have been a wonderful successor to the fx6/9 But IMO the "baby venice" hype will make this a very disappointing camera for many.

[@miknivek11]

Have you seen the recent Burano footage from other DPs and directors on YT? We have to consider the post production pipeline and the colorist/editor work too. The Burano footage I've seen hold up very well to the Venice 2 imo. Alexa35 is definitely next level, but you're paying nearly triple the price. You can do a lot with X-OCN LT and here in NYC, I see plenty of Venice and Alexa shooters sharing subpar looking footage because their post production is lacking.

[@nickcatania2655]

How was the functionality of the control grip with the return to the LANC connector? One of the great user improvements from the FS7 to FX9 was moving the latter to a mico-USB; particularly the speed and control of the placement of the viewing field for image magnification in the viewfinder. FS7 lanc was so slow it was basically unusable in run and gun shooting. The FX9 USB -though a giant pain in the ass to plug in at setup- was super responsive.

[@sa.t.2507]

Gotta love all the people saying it’s smaller and better for run n gun than FX9. Burano is heavier than the FX9 and once you add a V mount battery on the back it’s almost as big.

[@toddpeterson5904]

Whenever 16-bit linear is discussed in one of these videos, it would helpful to mention that it's the same as 12-bit log. There is slightly more information in 16-bit linear, but it is in areas imperceptible and not useful in post. 12-bit gets you identical color in a smaller space. This is a confusing point to many people who think 16-bit linear is better than 12-bit log simply because it's a bigger number and/or it's linear.

You mention at 16:19 that the Burano is on your lens coverage tool, but I don't see it as an option. Are you planning on adding it? It would be very helpful; I use the site all the time.

Internal ND and sensor stabilization!!!!!! Sony is not messing around. I’m in shock!!!

[@patrickluisier3198]

Hi ! Many thanks for this great review. Can i ask 2 questions please : 1) is the S-cinetone profile available (in Custom mode) ? 2) can the BURANO have dual base ISO in Custom mode also, like FX6 and FX9 ? (unlike the FX30) Just an electric remark here : PMW-F5 normal electric consumption : 24W ILME-FX6 : 18W PXW-FX9 : 35W Burano : 50W I'll need bigger batteries 🙂

[@RobertHollingworth]

Will the F55 Oled EVF work with this? I doubt it but worth asking. Superb EVF and it’s a shame they haven’t offered a similar one and a small screen for setting on the left like the F55

[@CurrenSheldon]

Can you put the handle directly on the body? I can't stand those FX9 style arms - would much rather have it configured like the FX6.

[@andreasmolland2155]

Did you guys check if the new LCD works for the FX9 or the FX6. I noticed you said it worked the other way around.

[@Grug86]

Does the Burano’s LCD work with the LCD extension cable you guys developed for the FX6/FX9? It looks as problematically short as the cables on those cameras.

[@Apatura123]

Regarding all the Open Gate comments: 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.

[@CVPTV]

Oh really they didn’t mention this to us! I will add it to the pinned comment. Thanks, Jake

[@zebius4157]

@@CVPTV yeah they have a page with things they plan on and want to implement for the burano

[@zebius4157]

​@@CVPTV yeah I just got back and they told me the 4:3 mode is not open gate and that the update wont bring open gate

[@geoffreybassett6741]

@9:27 Beautiful footage.

[@MrCJHamill]

Nice camera! Just a beginner's question here... does having IBIS on versus off reduce image quality? I mean does the stabilisation itself reduce video quality versus having it switched off and using a gimbal? I realise there are differences between the individual IBIS settings in the camera (the aggressiveness of the stabilisation).

[@xx1simon1xx]

Why should it? The Sensor itself is moving, so it should function exactly the same.

[@plutocrank]

Awesome video. Loved it.

[@chadterpstra]

That rolling shutter though! It’s not the same on the production models. 😮

[@petermigs1510]

I believe this is a proper Cinema Camera but honestly not having False Color that in my opinion its the most accurate way to expose so please Sony had it on next firmware update, if possible, other thing its 4K 120p only on S35Crop mode would be a must if was on Full Frame mode, apart from this 2 facts looks to be an amazing camera. And CVP, you guys always deliver the most comprehensive reviews ;)

[@ollenn9777]

@2:37 - Did Sony ever get back to you regarding the "full frame cropped downsampled 6k raw" option and how they do it in XOCN-LT?

[@morsmediatv-undfilmprodukt3958]

Hi CVP, 13:48 rolling shutter - what focal length (~) was that shot on? We try to mimic this footage, but receive MUCH worse bent lines with V1.0

[@chrispennarts4085]

"What an amazing camera this is. As a photographer, I own 3x Sony A1 - 12-bit raw. The A1 has superb autofocus, everything is spot on. But this Burano is truly amazing, with 16-bit raw. Superb. I live in the Netherlands, which is why I ordered the camera from Vocas."

[@hamedtaha]

this is nice T-shirt by the way

[@UrsMader]

Is this the same sensor/image processing in the Burano as in the final production model? The rolling shutter looks so much better at 13:48 as in your newest video. Or is it because of different focal lenses?

[@genxtechguy]

Does the internal nd filter system work while using ibis? Highly underrated combination … in fact, if they work together, no other camera on the planet has such a combination.

[@CVPTV]

Yes it does. Jake

[@user-pt5lg7zn3p]

Do you still have the burano with you guys? Would you say it performed better than V-Raptor in low light mode ( 3200 Base iso setting on Burano )
