Possible specs of two new Sony camcorders: Z380 and FX8 E-mount

I don’t know how reliable this info is. But rumor has it two cine cameras will be announced ahead of the IBC show in Amsterdam

Sony Z380
The Sony Z380 is a newly developed 3CMOS BIONZ XR XDCAM camcorder that features internal variable ND, which supports 4K120p recording in all RGB Tricolor.
The image quality of the Z380 is significantly higher than that of the , thanks to the BIONZ XR, AI unit, and new high-speed, high-saturation, and high-sensitivity Exmor RS 3CMOS.
Based on test information, the image quality of the PXW-Z380 is superior to that of the . It has a low base ISO and a high sensitivity mode ISO, which is consistent with the .
The Z380’s autofocus performance is a vast improvement over the previous generation , relieving the operator of the pressure of focusing and allowing them to shift their attention entirely to composition and following the subject.

Sony FX8
The New full-frame product, named FX8, will feature a resolution of 12K, which is four times that of the . It uses a 16:9 cropped 12K full-frame (3:2 aspect ratio, 96M total pixels) CMOS image sensor.
It doesn’t have internal RAW or X-OCN recording capabilities. Like the , it outputs full-frame crop 3.8K 16-bit RAW to a third-party recorder via SDI at a maximum of 120fps.
The only recording format available is XAVC, which offers 8K30p or 4K60p recording in full-frame and S35 modes. And the full-frame crop 3.8K mode provides 4K120p recording.
The readout specifications are not as good as the URSA Cine 12K, as the processor limits it, but it is still a reliable and easy-to-use camcorder that offers high-speed 4K (for users) and full-frame/Super35 dual-format 8K30p/4K60p (for users) for creative freedom.
