NAB news: Sony unveils the cinematic and a 3D camera



Sony’s Shapiro unveiled a prototype digital cinematic camera scheduled to be released next year. The camera has a 35mm sensor and records video on SxS. Release in 2011 :(
I didn’t get any certain information yet but it seems that the camera has an Alpha Mount and you will be able to use current Sony Alpha Lenses.

Sony also presented a concept prototype of the future 3D camera. It features a double 3-inch CMOS sensor, Full HD (1920×1080), interchangeable lenses, convergence control and full metadata support. Field tests are scheduled to start in July.

Concept model: The Sony Alpha A352

The designer Ryan David Francis created a completely new Alpha camera. I don’t know if we should like the design or not but I admire his imagination :)
The idea was to create a camera with a focused design based on how people hold a camera. It is a three-dimensional (3D) model.

Wish you happy easter!

Dear readers,
I take the chance to wish you happy easter! Hope you will enjoy some rest with the people you love.
Thanks again for the help you are giving me to make this site become better and better. Your help really matters!

I have two good news to give you:
1) I am working together with 43rumors friends to redesign the website and create a new SonyAlphaRumors community
2) As I always told you this is a new website and I am still learning to manage the rumors I get. But I can guarantee you that the next two months will be full of much better rumors and Sony will definitely release some awesome new products before June!

Enjoy your easter-time!
Andrea
