Sony announced their newest 1/2″ EXMOR 3-CMOS sensor camera, the PMW-300. The successor to Sony’s aging, but still very popular, EX3. With 50mbps 8-bit 422 internal recording over the EX3’s 8-bit 420, this is a much demanded bump in specs that won’t go unnoticed. It will also get an update with XAVC in 2014.

Other upgrades include a new higher resolution display, 3.5″ 960×540 (same DPI and size as the iPhone 4/4S). It shoots 1080p at 1-30fps and 720p at 1-60fps. It records to SxS or SxS-1 but also allows Memory Stick, SD card, and XDQ cards with an adapter, and you’ll save quite a few bucks.

Cache recording, catch the action up to 15 seconds before you press record to insure you don’t miss a beat.

It also includes HDMI and HD-SDI so you can record 10-bit out and use your favorite DSLR HDMI accessories.

Check the press release and the product page for the full rundown.

    Halfway through 2013 and still no 60p? Getting to be a very long wait considering the ~$7000+ it will cost..sigh. The single-chip but 60p having PMW-600 is looking strong still.

    It’s definitely a feature being withheld from some lines… Maybe when XAVC recording is enabled it will have it?
