Anyone looking for a professional yet compact solution for ambitious film projects should be happy with the new Sony Burano.
Video up to 8.6K
The Burano from the CineAlta series could be classified as a Venice 2, but it should work perfectly with it. It is primarily aimed at filmmakers traveling alone or smaller film teams.
The heart of the Burano is a full-frame 8.6K sensor with a maximum recording speed of 30fps. In addition to the maximum format, other common resolutions are also possible, 6K with 60 fps, and 4K with 120 fps. Several codecs are available to choose your optimal workflow: XAVC, X-OCN, and XAVC-LT.
The Burano also records a wide dynamic range and dual-base ISO for low-light shots. Different resolutions and codecs provide flexibility. Lens mounts are available in PL and E mount.
This feature set positions the camera as a solid choice for demanding film productions. Solo photographers in particular will appreciate this technology. Suitable lenses can be mounted via PL and E mounts.
