Sony VENICE

The VENICE is the flagship cinema camera from Sony. Most recently, the camera (and its detachable sensor) was used to film inside the cockpits of Top Gun Maverick, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and is also the camera behind James Cameron’s upcoming Avatar sequels.

We’ve previously covered the Sony VENICE 2 and its 8.6K capabilities. The main thing to note is that most of these Sony cinema line cameras are built off of the color science developed for VENICE. This is a competent professional cinema camera that starts at around $58,000. So it’s not something you can easily compare the FX30 to. It’s literally the top of the line, whereas the FX30 is the entry-level camera in the cinema line.

Let’s dive into the rest of the Sony cinema line to which we can compare the FX30.
