New Sony Cine E-mount camera is coming soon

Share

In the past days I got two messages from tow different sources claiming a new Cine E-mount camera will be announced soon:

Source 1:

Sony’s sales claims that it will launch a Cinema Line camera that support XAVC 8K. It is positioned below BURANO, so it may be the FX9 II.

Source 2:

Likely with global shutter… he said he couldn’t really specifics right now but I’ll find out soon… 
Sony registered three new cameras in May/June. One is the Z380 shoulder camera, one could be this new Cine E-mount Full Frame camera and the other one could be the Sony A7V.

Just announced: New Sony Type A cards and ECM-778 Compact Supercardioid Shotgun Microphone

Share

Yesterday Sony announced four new products that are now finally available for preorder today:

Press text:

Sony Electronics Inc. today announced the launch of its new ECM-778 shotgun microphone, a flagship mono high-resolution model that delivers immersive, high-quality audio recordings. The ECM-778 is designed for premium audio capture in films, dramas, documentaries, and other content production environments where sound quality is critical. This professional-grade microphone provides high-fidelity audio with versatile mounting options, making it ideal for both boom poles and compatible camerai mounted setups.

In tandem, Sony is also introducing new CFexpress Type A cards—the CEA-G1920T (1920 GBii) and CEA-G960T (960 GB)—along with the MRW-G3 CFexpress Type A card reader. These products support CFexpress 4 and deliver read speeds exceeding 1800 MB/s, over twice as fast as earlier modelsiii—and a storage capacity of up to 1920 GBiv, significantly improving data transfer and workflow efficiency for users of Sony’s Cinema Line and Alpha mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras.

New ECM-778 Premium Shotgun Microphone

The ECM-778 features a newly developed microphone capsule, a precision-machined brass acoustic tube, and a specifically designed electronic circuit board for superior sound quality, providing clear high frequencies and stable mid-low ranges. Measuring just 176 mm and weighing approximately only 102 g, it combines portability with excellent directivity, making it ideal for tight filming conditions.

Designed for versatility, it can be mounted on boom poles by using the supplied microphone holder and stand adapterv or directly on cameras with XLR terminals, supporting a wide range of production setups. The inclusion of foam and fur-type wind screens, a low-cut switch, and a machined aluminum body ensures reliable performance across diverse environments.

Key Features:

  • Sharp forward directivity through sound wave interference design
  • High-resolution audio capture beyond 20 kHz
  • Low-cut switch for reduced wind and handling noise
  • Durable aluminum construction
  • Compact and lightweight for handheld or mounted use
  • Professional-grade internal components for reduced noise and high fidelity

Collaboration with Film Sound Engineers

Developed in collaboration with professional film sound engineers, the ECM-778 reflects real-world insights from production environments. Renowned sound engineer Kenichi Fujimoto, winner of multiple Japan Academy Film Prizes for Best Sound Recording, remarked:

We recording engineers forge our sonic preferences over years, recording and listening to countless projects with a vast array of microphones, starting from our days as assistants. When we step into the lead role, we choose the mic that perfectly matches our cultivated taste. Right now, this is the single best choice available. In filmmaking, the shotgun mic for dialogue is the most critical tool—it’s the axis around which everything else turns. The ‘ECM-778’ is that new axis. It strikes an exceptional balance with its length and weight, its clarity and solid core deliver a palpable sound pressure, and it provides that ‘little something’ that has always been missing in other microphones. It is, simply put, a microphone that lets you create a truly cinematic sound.”

New CEA-G1920T and CEA-G960T CFexpress Type A Cards and MRW-G3 Card Reader

Sony’s new CEA-G1920T (1920 GB) and CEA-G960T (960 GB) CFexpress Type A cards meet the VPG400 standard, guaranteeing stable video recording at 400 MB/svi. Built to TOUGH specifications, these cards offer:

  • Read speeds of up to 1800 MB/s and write speeds up to 1700 MB/s
  • 5x drop resistance and 10x bend strength over standard CFexpress Type A cardsvii
  • IP57-rated dust and water resistance
  • Temperature, X-ray, anti-static, and UV resistanceviii

Accompanying these is the MRWG3 card reader, which supports USB 40 Gbps and CFexpress 4, enabling ultra-fast transfers and compatibility with most computers, smartphones, and tablets. A heat dissipation design ensures durability and sustained performance even during large transfers.

Sony remains committed to supporting professional and high-end amateur creators with advanced tools that enhance production quality and streamline workflows across varied content creation scenarios.

Exclusive: First leaked image of the new compact Sigma 35mm f/1.2 II FE lens!

Share

What you see here on top is the size comparison between the “old” Sigma 35mm f/1.2 and the new version that will be announced soon. As you see the new version is more compact (I would guess around 1cm less longer) and is rumored to have a Filter Size of 72mm compared ot the older 82mm.

Still don’t know what the price will be but it could be a tiny bit more expensive than this first generation lens. Probably also because of the tariffs…and I can’t wait to read the comments about this :)

Sigma is rumored to launch a total of four new Full Frame lenses this year. And I will soon share info about those on SAR and on my youtube channel (subscribe here).

And, what do you think about this lens?
