That is pretty disappointing. September is a long ways off. And I believe the Blackmagic camera will have been released by then.
Actually is is sooner than expected. When they advertised it alongside A7s few months ago they said it will be available in winter.
Oh, well not so disappointed then. But 4500 for a 4K solution without a global shutter is hard to stomach. I still want it, though.
I personaly prefer the higher DR and low noise instead of a global shutter.
Handheld work is markedly cleaner with a global shutter.
Agree, but not everibody likes the handheld shooting. Most of us all use all sorts of stabilizers.
I’m not saying that global shooter is not desired, it is, but we must also take in account the price. We can not have it all for free, can we?
Even a shoulder rig would benefit tremendously from a global shutter. I used to shoot film, and it was amazing what I could get away with compared to these rolling sensors. And I would gladly have an extra thousand dollars tacked on for a global shutter. But it sounds like more of a heat issue than anything.
It’ll happen soon. Full-pixel readout was a great step forward. Blackmagic has a global shutter for 3 grand, and it’s old tech. I’m sure the next gen of small cameras will push this tech.
It’s best to have the product right, rather than rushing it to the market. Users have been requesting a 4K recorder from us for some time.

I’m nicely surprised by the price!
The price was announced couple of months ago, so it is no surprise.
Finally the very good High ISO of A7s can be put to some good use in 4K video recording with this Shogun baby.
shame it’s only specced for UHD and not true 4K
We can not have it all, can we? 🙂
Everyone’s keeping me in line today. Honestly appreciate it.
🙂
This recorder won’t handle any audio, will it?
Hi Jon,
The Shogun will do XLR via a breakout cable with line/mic and phantom power input.
You also get 8 digital channels and 2 analog channels of audio.

Thank you for the information. I’ll be pre-ordering, then.
Thumbs up for the body painting going on behind 😉
Why this shitty Sony camera cannot record directly to card, but need external chinese recorder, to do this?
Is it possible to record via HDMI to a laptop?
There are other options out there but they are much larger bulkier affairs. AJA has a portable system but it would require additional electronics to convert the HDMI so when you got everything together you would have to cobble together a nice chunk of electronic junk which could then connect to your laptop using HDMI from the AJA Ki Pro….. I don’t think a laptop could accept the 4k HDMI without having to have a special capture card of some sort.
I am somewhat surprised that Sony has not yet come out with thier own 4k recorder/battery grip for this camera.
I would not expect a world leader in electronics to depend on a 3rd party video recorder in order to use a Sony camera.
They have, but not cheap (and only for their pro video camera line).
I would love a battery grip-style 4k recorder. It would be similar to the GH4’s docking base.
can’t wait to skip this.
Can’t wait for you to start skipping.
come on dude? you’ll be really bored with sony and no trol 🙂
You should, it’s way over your head. Both technically and financially. Stick with the IPhone, that’s already far beyond your technical capability.
Did anyone notice, nwimu could be the resurrected whaeva?
actually … he is. thank you for notice 🙂
Noticed it on day one, but thought you want to start afresh, it’s hard for a leopard to change its spots.

i just want the e-mount back, but the e-mount will be only highly priced cheap cameras having ONLY dark 16-50, 18-55, 55-210, 18-200 + 35 & 50 1.8, ugly meaningless menus and no firm upgrades. (i have no something simple as time laps with my nex 7; what about tethering or auto iso?). and likely there will be no new E-lenses..
sony is pushing me to a7… but i don’t like a7…
so they just push me back to Canon.. maybe 6D.. time will tell.
aaand i don’t like policy like nokia’s: new a7 each month (with higher price). i want to have max 2 cameras.. one for stills and one for video. but i prefer to have only one with lot of lenses and accessories.
No system is perfect, choose the one that suits your needs 🙂
agreed 🙂
I have a7r and will get a7s. Two cameras, several leica m primes 21 35 and 75. One for video, both for stills. Still lighter than my previous 6d with equivalent lenses.
You don’t need to skip. You’ve already flunked.
Trolls used to be smart, or at least funny. Now they are neither.
guys you do realise that you don’t like trolls only because you DON’T LIKE sony 🙂 if you all liked sony you’ll be finding my comments as a “yeah.. funny” and just ignore them 🙂
but you don’t like sony sh!ts and policy and that’s why you don’t like trols 🙂
actually the problem is only inside you. you have problem with my comments. my comments are only words… you are the one who decide to get insulted by a comment… (because you know it’s true?)
But the Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q is available now.
Yes but it doesn’t record 4K via HDMI, and the A7s doesn’t have 3G-SDI output…
Agree.
Also we don’t charge or “rent” out our codecs/raw formats. You get that for free rather than having to pay $700.

But we don’t deal cheap jabs at our competitors anonymously on rumor sites!

What are people using to shoot/record 4K? Panasonic GH4, I guess.
Duh. Guess again.
For the moment only BMC 4K and Panasonic GH4 can be considerd 4K cameras “for the masses”. Sony A7s will record 4K, but only in September and at a higher price. I’m not saying A7s is no god or something, it has an unique selling point in the ultra high ISO, but 4K is not there yet without the Shogun :).
