Hi folks! An important correction on my rumor. A trusted source had told me the FX30has basically the same FX3 video specs. This is true, but I assumed this meant same sensor resolution too. The source now corrected me and said the sensor has 26MP! I don’t know if this is the same Fujifilm X-H2S sensor…

Additional note: I am 100% sure about the resolution as I got a “proof” of that by now. And today a first image of the camera will appear on SAR  ;) UPDATE: I was asked to NOT publish the image yet :(

UPDATE: At minute 5:21 he openly makes it clear he is using a new kind of unannounced camera. He always shoots Sony and it’s highly likely this video was shot on the FX30 don’t you think? And there is also a well known German Youtuber that is testing a camera “he cannot name yet”.

I believe in both videos you see images shot with the FX30.

FX30 specs:

• 26MP APS-C sensor
• similar FX3 body and similar FX3 specs
• same FX3 interface (from latest firmware)
• unconfirmed: Price around $2,500
• announcement in late September

UPDATE: I updated this post because it appears that the very first shoots at the beginning where taken on the A7sIII. Only afterwards he uses the FX30 to record images.

A trusted source shared some FX30 info:

• 26MP APS-C sensor
• similar FX3 body and similar FX3 specs
• same FX3 interface (from latest firmware)
• unconfirmed: Price around $2,500
• announcement in late September

More info about cameras and lenses in this new video (Note: In the video I still made the mistake to say it has 12MP):

In September Sony will announce the new FX30. This will be Sony’s first APS-C FX cinema camera. It will also be more affordable than the current FX3 Full Frame brother.

Reminder: In early October Sony will have a new product launch: Expect the  A7rV and/or ZV APS-C camera to be announced.

A couple of hours ago I told you that Sony would announce four new E-mount cameras within the next 2 months. And shortly after Sony published this teaser for a September 6th E-mount announcement!

I will be the first to tell you that this is Sony’s first PTZ E-mount camera (you can find current PTZ cameras here at BH). This is the teaser video:

PTZ cameras are quite expensive robotic tools! I hope “someone” can share me the specs of this new toy ;)

Two solid sources told me to expect the following cameras to be announced within the next 2-3 months:

• First Sony will announce a new PTZ E-mount camera
• It will be followed shortly after by a new compact, affordable Cine E-mount camera (announcement late September)
• And then we will finally get the ZV APS-C camera and the A7rIV. Not clear if both cameras will be announced at the same time or at two different events. But there is definitely a product announcement scheduled for early October.

Here is a more detailed talk about the four cameras:
