Sony Burano Cinema Camera

Sony Burano Cine Alta Cinema Camera for hire from Mad Dogs Television

In a nutshell

Sony Burano, essentially the Venice-lite. This camera fills the void left by the Sony PMW-F55 and bridges the Sony cinema range from Venice 2 to the PXW-FX9. It is an 8k Full frame offering with in sensor stabilization for any lens, the only camera is Sonys line up to offer that with built in variable ND also. It can natively fit PL mount and E mount lenses. We see this as a particularly powerful combination for long lens shooting and dynamic movement.
