Covid 19 impact doesn’t stop announcement of new cameras and lights.
A very compact,lighter in weight (1.2kg) 8K camera with a full frame Sensor been announced by Kinefinity.
The MAVO Edge is the first Kinefinity camera to feature internal ND filters. Having motorized full spectrum e-ND filters is a big deal. The e-ND is electronic and you can vary the amount of ND you dial in. You can make changes in increments as small as 0.03.
This new cinema camera features 44 mp Sensor with open gate 3:2
The new 8K imaging sensor on the MAVO Edge contains 45 million pixels on a 36x24mm full-frame CMOS sensor featuring 800/3200 dual native ISO, 8K Wide up to 75fps, and latitude up to 14+ stops. Furthermore, the MAVO Edge can capture images as 100fps at 6K Wide or 160fps at 4K Wide. At the same time, MAVO Edge also supports oversampling in Full Frame mode to output 6K or 4K resolutions which will result in more details and latitude with the same optical format.
Price factor also interesting which is about to be under $12000.
Mavo Edge will have both PL and EF mount option.
