4 years ago |My personal guess, presuming tomorrow we will see a video camera, is that it may be something like the RED system, it can use still camera lenses but has its own lenses as well (since still lenses no matter high quality for stills aren’t suitable for quality movies), RED also has incredible flexibility in the way you can build a system that suits you (thanks to its modularity), you can even change the form factor so that it feels exactly like a still camera and then take it apart and reconfigure it to a video form factor, would be nice if Sony goes to this extent while managing somehow to be a bit less expensive than RED.

4 years ago |They are yet to mention the A750. As for a video cameras, they already announced two new EX series camcorders, for that announcement sony made a a teaser in their pro website, making it sound like a HUGE game changing product, but I felt disappointment, it was nothing for the prosumer can afford. I am waiting for the scarlet, but with all the “push back” schedule the Red team has, I have to go with what the current technology is offering right now. I need to update my tools to make my work more appealing.
