At IBC today, Sony unveiled the PXW-FS7, a new 4K UHD XDCAM with a Super-35 Exmor CMOS sensor. Designed largely for shooters on unscripted/reality TV and magazine shows, the FS7 was engineered to be both small and lightweight — the camera body by itself is four pounds — making for comfortable handheld use. It's expected to ship next month with a suggest list price under $10,000.
At launch, the camera will shoot at a maximum resolution of 3840×2160. However, the company indicated that a firmware upgrade in early 2015 will enable full 4K (4096×2160) recording. For a quick, two-and-a-half-minute infodump on the camera, watch the "official promotion movie" below, then read on for more details.
