This is the first image of the new Sony E-mount FS 4K camcorder. It will be announced soon! I have been told it has the same resolution, sensor size and codec as the [shoplink 28410 ebay]$30k F55 camera[/shoplink]. I don’t know if that will please current F55 owners…because the FS700II costs only one-third. But that’s how technology goes…

I can confirm via trusted sources that Sony will indeed soon announce a new high end E-mount 4K video camera. I have yet no 100% reliable specs a part of the obvious 4K recording capability. But here are some rumors I got from three new sources (Thank You All).

Source 1) Sony will be taking design cues from the success of the Canon Cinema series. Will replace FS100. E-mount. 4k. Competitively priced. These will be C100 and C300 killers!!

Source 2) Sony will release a C100/300 killer. More E mount video/cinema-centric lenses to come.

Source 3) Sony will soon release another E mount S35 (crop) cinema camera. This one will shoot 4k internally to memory cards. Not an A7s sensor, maybe an F5 sensor? Under $10k USD. Possible announce at IBC or photokina
