Sony announced details of its new UMC-S3C video camera yesterday. What you're looking at is a small case with the a7S II's sensor stuck in it and an E Mount on the front. It only weighs 400g as well. Like the a7S II, it supports XAVC S 4K at up to 100Mbps but no word yet as to whether S Log 2/3 are included. Sony says that the camera can be controlled via the micro USB or multi terminal - I'm expecting we'll see some kind of remote control for it.
Whilst Sony have outlined industrial uses for it, we are interested in exploring its use in Action Camera scenarios such as in-car.
It's due to be available in August - no idea on pricing yet. As we know more, we'll let you know!!
