VENICE 2
Sony’s flagship full-frame digital cinema camera
The VENICE 2 builds upon the strength of the original VENICE with new features including a compact design, internal recording and the option for two different sensors: the newly developed full-frame 8.6K sensor or the original 6K VENICE sensor. The VENICE 2 also inherits popular features from the original VENICE including color science, Dual Base ISO and 8-stops of built-in ND filters.
The VENICE 2 Extension System is now available and enables productions the ultimate flexibility. It allows you to separate the sensor block from the camera body - up to 40 feet away! It’s the perfect setup for handheld, gimbals, or for driving sequences.
Introducing: The new VENICE Extension System Mini. The VENICE Extension System Mini comes equipped with the VENICE 2 8K sensor at a substantially reduced size than the existing VENICE Extension System 2. At roughly the same size as an average smartphone and approximately 70% smaller than the current system, the VENICE Extension System Mini is designed to provide additional creative freedom for filmmakers. The ultra-compact yet durable design makes the VENICE Extension System Mini perfect for handheld shots and extreme action.
