Sony VENICE 2 with 8K sensor, DVF-EL200 & both licenses

Next-Generation 8.6K Full-Frame Cinematography

The Sony VENICE 2 represents the pinnacle of digital cinema, featuring a high-performance 36x24mm full-frame sensor designed for the most demanding productions. With a maximum resolution of 8640 x 5760, the 8K sensor delivers extraordinary detail and oversampled 4K images with remarkable clarity. The unique interchangeable sensor block design allows cinematographers to switch between 8K and 6K sensors seamlessly, ensuring future-proof flexibility without requiring extra firmware updates.

Unrivaled Dynamic Range and Color Science

Capture every nuance with an exceptional 16 stops of latitude. The VENICE 2 excels in extreme lighting conditions, from harsh sunlight to low-light environments, maintaining minimal noise and rich detail. Its color science exceeds the BT.2020 space, offering a palette wider than DCI-P3. Integrated with Sony S-Log3 and S-Gamut3, the camera provides professional colorists with maximum creative freedom during the grading process.

Internal 16-bit X-OCN and ProRes Recording

Streamline your workflow with internal 16-bit X-OCN and 4K ProRes 4444 or 422 HQ recording. By eliminating the need for external recorders, the VENICE 2 maintains a compact form factor ideal for gimbals, Steadicams, and drone operations. This internal capability preserves the full dynamic range and color fidelity of the sensor while simplifying on-set configurations.

Dual Base ISO and Mechanical ND Filters

The 8K sensor features Dual Base ISO 800 and 3200, providing clean imagery in diverse lighting scenarios. To further control exposure, the camera includes a built-in 8-step mechanical ND filter mechanism. Ranging from 0.3 to 2.4, this servo-controlled system allows for rapid adjustments without swapping external glass, a critical advantage for fast-paced sets and remote crane work.

Advanced Anamorphic and High Frame Rate Support

Unlock the classic cinematic look with native support for anamorphic lenses, including 4:3 and 6:5 aspect ratios. The VENICE 2 captures up to 60fps at 8.2K and 90fps at 5.8K with the 8K sensor. High-speed sensor readout minimizes rolling shutter artifacts, ensuring stable images during fast-action sequences.
