Sony VENICE 2 Camera - Choose between 8K and 6K sensors

The VENICE 2 builds upon the strength of the original VENICE with new features including a compact design, internal recording and the option of 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 build-in ND filters.

New Sensor Translates into Extraordinary Image Quality and Incredible Low-light Sensitivity

Paired with a newly-developed 8.6 K (8640 x 5760) full-frame CMOS image sensor, the VENICE 2 offers excellent image quality with 16 stops of total latitudei to capture beautiful images with excellent color separation and shadow detail. The camera also inherits its color science from the original VENICE which is highly regarded for its natural skin tones.  The VENICE 2 8K CineAlta camera has a unique dual base ISO of 800/3200 which allows filmmakers to capture incredibly clean, film-like images under a wide range of lighting conditions. It supports everything from full-frame, full-frame anamorphicii to Super35 all at a minimum of 4K resolution, resulting in an outstanding and versatile camera system for cinematographers and productions.

There are two Sony VENICE 2 models: 8K and 6K!
  • 8.6K and 6K image sensor blocks are interchangeable
  • Similar designed as VENICE most threaded screw sockets and connections are the same of VENICE 2 and VENICE

VENICE 2 6K

  • 24 Megapixel (6048 x 4032)
  • Full-Frame 6K in 3:2 imager mode up to 60fps
  • Rynamice Range: 15+ stops
  • Dual Base ISO 500 and 2500
  • Built-in ND Filter; Clear, 0.3 up to 2.4 (8 stops)
  • Internal X-OCN LT, ST and XT RAW 16-bit recording (major difference between VENICE and VENICE 2 6K)
  • Lens Mount: PL Mount and E-Mount (lever lock type, without supplied PL lens mount adapter)


 VENICE 2 8K

  • 50 Megapixel (8640 x 5760)
  • Full-Frame 8.2K recording in 17:9 up to 60fps
  • Full-Frame 8.6K in 3:2 up to 30fps
  • Rynamice Range: 16 stops
  • Dual Base ISO 800 and 3200
  • Built-in ND Filter; Clear, 0.3 up to 2.4 (8 stops)
  • Internal X-OCN LT, ST and XT RAW 16-bit (RAW like)
  • Internal ProRes 4444 / ProRes 422 HQ recording
  • VENICE 2 8K accepts VENICE or VENICE 2 6K sensor block! (The camera recognizes the change automatically).
  • Lens Mount: PL Mount and E-Mount (lever lock type, without supplied PL lens mount adapter)

4K LUTS for monitors

 For those who want to see on-set images that are closer to the final look of their project, VENICE 2 can apply 4K or HD LUTs to its monitor output. HD output also benefits from improved LUT processing, with richer images and colour gradation.

Ethernet and WiFi control

Using WiFi or an Ethernet connection, LUTs, CDLs and ART files can all be imported directly onto cameras, so there’s no need to physically upload them using SD cards. CDLs can then be controlled and adjusted via a web interface and embedded in clip metadata.​

Sony VENICE 2 with 6K image sensor
In 2017, Sony introduced a next-generation motion picture camera system, focused on large format production: the VENICE. Working with extensive and detailed input from the film industry, we designed VENICE to give cinematographers more creative freedom. A 6K image sensor offered incredible detail and colors. Dual-base ISO drove remarkable low-light performance. An 8-step internal ND filter mechanism saved precious time on set.Now, VENICE 2 builds on this success, with new capabilities in a familiar, compact body. Remarkable ImagesVENICE 2 offer a choice between 8K (MPC-3628) and 6K (MPC-3626) sensors, both of wich boast incredibly wide latitude and gamut. Use greater freedom of expression in grading than ever before, with either 16 or 15+ stops of latitude and exquisite color rendition.   Sensor interchangeable between other models   36x24mm Full-Frame Sensor for Cinema VENICE 2 features one of two 36x24mm full-frame image sensors, designed specifically for the demands and performance of high-end cinematography. Each offers remarkable sensitivity, latitude and color rendition, and because the sensor blocks are interchangeable, users can easily switch between sensors—without any extra firmware—and can even use the sensor from their original VENICE. The new 8K sensor can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 8640 x 5760, while the established 6K sensor offers up to 6048 x 4032. Both offer powerful oversampling for incredible 4K images.     Super35 full height 2.0x squeeze AnamorphicFor anamorphic shooting and production, Super35 full height 2x squeeze anamorphic is supported. Dual Base ISOVENICE 2 features dual base ISO, meaning that the 8K sensor offers Base ISO3200 in addition to Base ISO800, while the 6K sensor has Base ISO500 and Base ISO2500. 8K sensor excels in low-light, High Dynamic Range capture, with an exposure latitude from 6 stops over to 10 stops under 18% Middle Gray, for a total of 16 stops.6K sensor offers an exposure latitude from 6 stops over to 9 stops under 18% Middle Gray, for a total of 15+ stops. High Frame Rate VENICE 2 can shoot at speed of up to 120fps at 4K and 90fps at 6K, when using the 6K sensor. In combination with an anamorphic license, it also allows shooting at speed of up to 75fps at 4K 4:3 and 72fps at 4K 6:5.
