Matt Johnson: Sony FX3 II Predictions That Will Actually Come True

This is what Matt expects on the next Sony FX3II :

  • Articulating EVF: An Electronic Viewfinder that tilts up, similar to the one on the Sony FX2 .
  • Flip-out and Tilting Monitor: The multi-axis screen introduced with the Sony A7R V .
  • Bionz XR2 Chip: Updated processing power for better performance.
  • New Battery System (NP-SA100): Offering 17% longer life and a higher voltage (7.82V) to power more advanced accessories.
  • Advanced XLR Adapter: A locking, video-specific handle with 32-bit float internal audio recording.
  • Open Gate Recording: The ability to use the full sensor area for flexible aspect ratios (highly requested by filmmakers).
  • Internal RAW Video: Support for internal recording in ProRes RAW or Sony’s proprietary X-OCM format.
  • High Frame Rate 4K: 4K recording at up to 240 fps.
  • Triple Base ISO: Three native ISO levels (e.g., 800, 12800, and 51200) for superior low-light performance.
  • 48MP Quad Bayer Sensor: A sensor capable of 8K resolution that can bin pixels to 12MP for high-quality 4K and low-light sensitivity.
  • Global Shutter: Technology to eliminate rolling shutter distortion (rolling shutter “jello” effect).
  • Dynamic Range Boost: Sensor technology to significantly increase stops of dynamic range.
  • Larger 4-inch Screen: Moving away from the standard size to a larger display for easier monitoring.
  • Internal ND Filters: A built-in neutral density filter system (considered a “wishful thinking” spec due to size constraints).

What do you think? I doubt the FX3II will have an integrated EVF…
