Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 The interesting thing I see the a7sII sensor in there can shoot 4:3 3840x2880 (hey anamorphic mode in an a7sii firmware?). Also for some reason Alexa-matching 2880x1920 resolution mode. Your title got me excited. Immediately thought of a new VG900II with NDs/XLRs/Awesomebattery/A7sII 4K/IBIS/S-LOG. Turns out an expensive 8000$+ scientific/surveillance camera module. I do see a lot of potential for it in industrial applications like surveillance of high-end facilities at night times -air-ports -International Harbors -Museums -Wild-life Sanctuaries -Military bases, Aircrafts/Humvees/Tanks/Ships -Governmental Facilities (FBI/CIA/Congress/IRS) -Fabrication Plants of sensitive nature (weaponry/chemical) and not to mention the vast potential applications I could see this implemented in my work, medical applications, like X-ray/CT/MRI sensors, Microscopes, Atomic medicine, dental imagery, open/endoscopic surgery, Data collection, endless possibilities for a small affordable industrial camera with visible information at 104.000 ISO as the A7s, because for some reason all of our readily available ones are unusable at 200/300ISOs and we still use them and lives depend on these. This could also find its way into regular surveillance of streets (Traffic-lights at night etc) but much less than the high-end applications due to the cost of body and lens. I wouldn't hang one of these and an 11-24mm f/4 L in a street or shop But aside from kidding several steel-cages with bullet-proof glass solutions exist even for these situations. Other scientific applications can really use this. Overall, buyers are ENDLESS, I see a huge potential success with sales in the 6 figure numbers if not millions. It's the market share Canon wanted to take with the ME20F-SH camera but they went into too much trouble to create a extreme extreme extreme sensitivity 4 million ISO visible sensor while an extreme extreme sensitivity one like the 102000/200.000 visible ISO A7S would more than do the job and then some, and too much trouble creating a cinema-grade body (trust me it's Alexa-grade for an unknown reason!) while a little plasticy industrial camera module would do or in fact be better, at just 1/4 the cost of the Canon solution for the facilities and in a smaller print. To us, we have absolutely no use for this product as video shooters since the a7s exists. (While Maybe the 4 million ISO Canon would have a potential in videography/cinema since the FF 1080p sensor is not incorporated into a cheaper version - and it IS strangely gaining A LOT of attraction from broadcasters and cinema productions despite the horrendous price) Anyway, nothing to see here. Move along. Until we get a VG900II we shouldn't see this title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 3, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 3, 2016 At the least rolling shutter won't be a problem for this kind of camera. Sony is making some big moves into the network / CCTV market. To be honest it is about time these cameras got a better image, plenty of unsolved crimes due to dark, pixilated faces. ME20F-SH is more for broadcast / TV market but yeah, the concept is similar to Canon's and price is cheaper, plus it is 4K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Finally a CCTV cam you can actually zoom in a little bit on!!! Cinegain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Haha, CSI at your heart out. 'Zoomify!', 'Now enhance!'. Finally the quality is there! Xavier Plagaro Mussard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JurijTurnsek Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 FF depth of field seems out of place in a surveillance camera. Wouldn't a FS7 sensor make more sense and you could keep the lenses smaller and cheaper. Not to mention the APS-C powerzoom lenses .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they use wide angle as most would expect and focus is set to at least a few meters away, depth of field is a non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd use Samyang's 8mm on APS-C sensor, you can get hyper-focal results even at f2.8. The price would be a lot more reasonable and size would be more manageable too.
