The Next Big Thing from Sony

[nyvz]

Maybe they'll also finally let us know what the 4k ready option on the FS700 is about.

FS700 isn't XDCAM...

Maybe the FS700 4k recorder is XDCAM?

mpeg 422. well welcome to several years ago, sony.

A F5 with quad hd and 200Mb 422 xdcam codec would be grand. put in s-log and a price that is around the c300 and you would really have at least the next big sensor thing. I think what we really need is compressed 4k. Compressed 4k would be a perfect basis for high quality 2k or full hd delivery. 10 bit wouldn't hurt but I think maybe panasonic will give us that with a version of their abc ultra (i wonder if there is a 10bit 400Mb quadHD avcintra in there somewhere). On the same theme a 4K 2/3 camera would be interesting as well. We all know how nice and convenient it is to make a sd-delivery from hd think about having the same possibility going down to HD.

There will never be an "F4", as many have mentioned before; 4 is an unlucky number in Japan. It sounds like "death" in Japanese. But on a lighter note, the F3 is being rebated at the moment so that might be a connection.

4 is unlucky in Chinese I believe, in Japanese is means they haven't sold enough .. yet.

Cheers.
