German unboxing video:

Rafal: “I had the opportunity to make a quick comparison of the Sony A7R3 with the A7R2 mainly in terms of filming. The difference in favor of the A7R3 is huge. On the blog I put clippings from 1: 1 frames taken at different ISO. For FHD, but successively I will complement it (4K, tonal range, etc.). They will also link to the source files. http://rafalglebowski.pl/blog/sony-a7r3-vs-sony-a7r2/”

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.

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.”
