Sony VENICE will have Full frame image capture from Day One
Press release:
Bydgoszcz, Poland – 15th November: After a successful launch of the next generation CineAlta motion picture camera VENICE, and extensive conversations with filmmakers following the camera’s debut, Sony is responding to strong requests to implement Full Frame image capture from day one, in time for the shipping of VENICE in February 2018.
The feature enables filmmakers to realise VENICE’s full potential by utilising 24x36mm Full-Frame 6K recording in Sony’s established 16-bit acquisition format, X-OCN[i]. In addition to Full Frame image capture, Sony plans an extensive roadmap of features planned to be implemented in future firmware upgrades
“Sony’s development of the VENICE motion picture camera platform represents our commitment to the film industry in furthering image capture in the key areas of dynamic range, colour rendition and large format aspect ratio freedom. VENICE demonstrates our commitment to developing tools that support Directors and Cinematographers in bringing their vision to the screen”, said Claus Pfeifer, Head of Technical Sales, Broadcast & Cinematography, Sony Professional Solutions Europe. “This announcement reflects our strong relationship with filmmakers around the world and enables them to create Emotion in Every Frame.”
The VENICE CineAlta digital motion picture camera system is scheduled to be available in February 2018. For more information about the VENICE platform please visit www.sony.net/pro/VENICE

Dan: “I have tested the latest lens from sony (24-105mm f4 OSS), and it looks that it has a mecanical vigneting issue at 105mm f4 on the bokeh (not round but severely cut), illustrated by my pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/danm_cool/37629603784/”
Photons to Photos test: Sony A7rIII Dynamic Range increased by max 0,4 stops over the A7rII
Photons by Photos measured the Sony A7rIII Dynamic Range and the conclusion is:
1) At low ISO up to ISO 400 the new Sony A7rII has the edge over the A7rII. From ISO 800 there is virtually no difference between the two
2) The max measured difference is 0,4 stops
We are far off Sony’s claim of one stop advantage over the A7rII. But let’s forget Sony’s claim and focus on this fact: The A7rII already had a world-class leading DR performance unmatched by most of the FF cameras on the market. So having a near half stop increase is a nice achievement. And I expect the A7rIII to lead the DxOranking once it gets tested!
UPDATE: It also beats the D850 when it comes to overall performance:
Preorders:
Sony A7rIII at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, BuyDig, FocusCamera, Calumet DE, Wex UK. Photo Porst Neuwied. Sony Netherland. Sony Australia. Sony Japan.
Sony 24-105mm at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, BuyDig, FocusCamera, Amazon DE, Calumet DE, Wex UK.
