Rumor: Sony A7s will have 4K video

Amazing how a company so connected to media production, can produce such crappy, scripted and poorly produced NAB presentations.
 
Graphic only said 4k HDMI video output, high quality Full Hd recording using worlds first full pixel readout without pixel binning
 
Interesting that there's zero 4K internal recording. Waiting for that footage to pop up online, claims of crazy DR.
 
Hehe, looks like I was right on the money S-LOG! and Odyssey 4k recording? That would be around $6000 all up, still a lot cheaper than a 1DC but a lot pricier than a GH4. I wonder if Canon will match it with a 4k C200? So with s-log and 4k 4:2:2 out how much of the 14 stops off the sensor will it record?

Improvements that the A7s brings over the A7000, for sure:
* 4K

You'll notice that's a very short list.

Improvements that the A7s could bring over the A7000:
* better internal codec for 1080p if you record 4K and downsample to 1080p (almost sure)
* completely free of aliasing/moire (quite likely)
* electronic IBIS (I would say 50/50 chance of this: Sony has the tech, and they went for a 1.1x crop factor)
* 10-bit (maybe, but doubt it) and better DR (doubt it)
* higher FPS (doubt it)
Click to expand...

So: 4K only with external recorder, no IBIS, same fps options as A6000, and it does have slog2 but can't record or output 10-bit so we'll have to see how good this is. Very nice, but not compelling. I may go for A6000+speedbooster+ninja.
