Just compare ENG broadcast sensor size to APS-C/Super35 or Full Frame: https://i.k8r.eu/SC-yYw.png https://i.k8r.eu/SC-yYw.png
- kayfox 4y agoIt should also be noted that an ENG camera typically has 3 sensors and not just one. The BMD Ursa Broadcast used in the above video is an exception, but its also a cinema camera converted to take B4 mount ENG lenses and not built from the ground up to do live broadcast video. Its also from a company that has weird ideas about how broadcast equipment should work.
- kuschku 4y agoSony also builds ENG cameras with single-sensor rolling-shutter bayer pattern based stuff. Which is ridiculous considering how much money they want for that. There's only a handful cameras with three individual sensors with global shutter on the market nowadays, and the price point is expectedly astronomical (~70k USD)
- kayfox 4y agoMost of their broadcast camera system lineup is 3-chip: https://pro.sony/ue_US/products/4k-and-hd-camera-systems https://pro.sony/ue_US/products/4k-and-hd-camera-systems There's a couple exceptions, like the Super-35 HDC-F5500 and HDC-4800.
- kuschku 4y agoMost of the ones you linked are just variations on two different assemblies, and as soon as you look at their otherwise extensive ENG lineup, the situation doesn't get much better, that one also only has the Z750 while the Z450 and X400 have no global shutter. But you're right, they still have a few good options for now :)
- solarkraft 4y agoInteresting and slightly unexpected trade-off. But of course: The situations these are used in tend to be well lit.
