Something tells me that there will be plenty of Sony Pictures and Sony Pictures Television productions opting to showcase the Venice. ;-)

Well the F3 didn't fall through the cracks. It would never have mattered. I'm talking about Hollywood hence why I didn't even mention the F55. Let alone the F3. Totally different market.
I know you probably meant this tongue in cheek. But I doubt Deakins would do that. Shoot with a camera he doesn't believe in because of money. He doesn't need it. He probably makes enough. He would have to like the camera.
By the way is there an official reason for the full capitalization of VENICE?
That doesn't really count. It needs to go mainstream. Plenty of sony pictures and sony television productions already use the F55 and even F65. Doesn't make a dent.

Probably the same reason ALEXA is... ; )
Heck yeah, if Sony gave him a free camera, and lent him four more for the duration of the feature film, then Sony would surely be coming out waaaay ahead from that deal.
He might not care, but if it is that little bit extra which makes the penny pinches at HQ go for it, then it is worth offering a deal.
I've just updated your reference. To something more ancient than A----A.
PS. Sony should have had this out a year ago.
Aha! Goes well with the lc709a(rri) lut:grin:
It's clear the Panasonic EVA is also taking cues from Alexa. From the female name for the camera to the styling of the name writing. Arri must feel pretty good that everybody has to imitate them. That's when you know you are on the top of the heap.
It's not like Deakins ever pays for his equipment anyway. He asks the studio for the best Alexa and Master Primes, then spends the rest of his time worrying about everything else.

Just like with everything else in life: Sex Sells. Would you rather have ALEXA sitting on your shoulder next to your face or STEVE? Lol :evil:
Alexa of course. :grin:
Don't forget RED and also RAW :happy:
I think it's kind of obvious Red capitalized their name because Arri was always written ARRI.

another sample of the camera, but to be honest I do not see what's special?

What's special is that it looks better than the FS5, FS7, F5, F55, F65 and every Sony camera ever made besides the F35.:thumbsup:

taste is obviously very individual
So which of the cameras I mentioned looks better than what we have seen from Venice so far? Can you point to a clip that shows them looking better?

it's not the question if any camera might have looked better. It the question what have they done with this camera. It's the look, the framing and mostly the grading because I don't think the Venice has such a poor highlight roll-off. I saw it and thought it could have been shot also with a GH5. I don't know if this guy looks really like in 1:24 ff? In some of the wide shots the right and left borders look very weird like an failed anamorphic de-squeeze. my 2 cts
