Some of the broadcast boys went to try out the new HDC-4300 Sony camera, with the new Fujinon 4K ⅔@ B4 lenses at Pinewood Studios recently. Got to say we were all impressed. The set had the more commonly used Sony 4K kit with the larger sensors, but everyone was pretty excited by 4K images with higher dynamic range, 14 stops of exposure latitude and best of all - decent depth of field. Still a slight drop from HD, but easier to manage - the 4300 having some really useful focus assist features in the viewfinder.
So many cameramen present don't get the quest for shallow DoF (not wishing to start that argument up again), and the hope is these cameras will creep into the studio chains and OB units.
Worth a look.
