I've been researching the Burano over the last few weeks.Thanks for sharing
No problem’
I think you nailed something with your comment about how when certain global shutter options became more affordable on the consumer market that we somehow have made that the benchmark for rolling shutter. People forget rolling shutter has been around a lot longer in film than global shutter and minimizing its affects are a part of what makes a good cinematographer/DP. Beyond that, most people don't realize you really only need global shutter or even an ultra low low latency camera/sensor when filming very high speed action. The generic "golf swing" or trusted "helicopter blade" wobbles are often fine in the real world with rolling shutter as are most short motion shots because the focus isn't typically on them long enough to matter. Global shutter systems really shine with continuous motion shots where there is a constant rolling shutter affect that would otherwise draw attention away from the focus of the shot. But thanks to CZcams, most people these days think they need a global shutter to perfect their whip pan transitions... hahaha
I’ll say in most of what I’ve been doing, I’ve never cared much, the KX it does look nice and I’d be lying saying otherwise
2/2 but never was I actually that mad about not having it
Productions that require long lenses will exacerbate rolling shutter. Also, global shutter is useful during virtual production.
@@AnimationKinematicsto which I think consumers already have a solution, which is entirely fine to go with !
lol,, global shutter has been around way longer than rolling shutter my friend. Film cameras are 'global shutter'
Answered all my curiosities! I think when the Burano was originally announced we all thought it was gonna be this Mini Venice II that was untapped. But I think it’s more of an FX9 upgrade. Great tool for whoever needs it.
It’s very much right in the middle of fx9 and Venice 1 which I think is a market they found that got neglected a bit
An Upgrade for 15k? No thanks
@@chicobraz4335 it’s not your market, and that’s okay man lol
@@KofiYeboah naw , it’s not about the market , it’s about not being an “upgrade “ to the fx line at all . All you guys been paid by them to say good things because they are desperate and they know they have a bust , a big time busy and remind me here in this comment section in a year , the only way they will move this camera is to make it 10k or under
@@KofiYeboah I’m a LF and mini owner , so it’s kind of disrespectful for you to bring that in , because it has nothing to do with being subjective and getting enough for the money paid
Been waiting for this video! You're super well spoken about this camera and bring up some great points.
Ayy I appreciate that
Been waiting for this one to drop - a great intro to this cam, did not disappoint! I am also loving the dance performance footage you've been capturing
Thanks man ! Saw some frames from your video coming it’s going to be a banger! 5 days was not nearly enough for this video, and I hope Sony gives me another crack at it (ironically all my production level stuff is AFTER I give this back ahah)
@@KofiYeboah yeah I feel you, so much to delve into with a chunky camera like this, but you gave me a good flavour of it. I wasn't that interested in the Burano but seeing it in more and more capable hands like your own is making me more interested - uh oh!!
@@EdProsser then there’s that $25,000 price tag 😂
Good choice from the Sony team! Congrats🎉
Ahah thank you 🙏🏾
Great video! You answered all of my questions, I really love your point of view
Glad it helped !
You crushed this one. Congrats on the teaching op!
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Man i love the fx3. Gets you 80% the way to the Burano. How will Sony step up the mark 2 when it’s already so damn good.
Great vid as always brother and advice and honesty about buying this cam! You are def one of my fave creators to be honest! Have a kick ass day, week and break legs in May on the short film shoot.
Thank you!!!
Great video man! Especially, the honest perspective at the end! It’s definitely out of my wheelhouse 😂 but glad to see you having the opportunity to test it out and sharing your experiences with it 😊 Keep up the great work 💪🏾💯
I wish I had it on some bigger projects, but next time r
Congrats on the instructor gig ! resume booster. great content TY for the detailed work Kofi
Thank you man 🙏🏾🙏🏾
you're amazing ! thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure!
Kofi KILLIN ITTTTT yes brother! Great review as usual!
Thanks homie !
keep up the great work bro!
Thank you!
Wow, congratulations, Kofi!
Thanks !
great video bro keep up the good work
Thank you 🙏🏾
Nice review. Thank you.
Can’t wait to finally get my hands on one and have a play!
It’s fun !!!
“Honda civic drivers complaining about what Tesla should do.” Best. Line. Ever… I literally laughed out loud. So true. All these mirrorless shooters out here throwing shade in a market space they don’t belong.
Cinema cameras aren’t for everyone, and it’s totally fine, it’s just weird hearing complaints from something someone would never buy
Definitely a dream camera of mine but my current a7S III does the trick for the gigs I have now! Maybe one day! Great video though and thanks for always persisting on the fact that just cause there is a new camera doesn't mean you HAVE to upgrade.
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great review
Thanks !
Waiting all week for this review.
Wish I had more than a few days with it 🥹
@@KofiYeboah just say you sent it back and you don't know why it wasn't returned via carrier😅😅😅
As an fx9 owner. I don't think I'll be doing business with Sony again. They forgot and ignored fx9 users in regards to firmware requests and didn't realise we were the clients who would likely upgrade to the Burano. I think most will go to other manufacturers now
Tbf I’ve done 5 Burano workshops so far, most people upgraded from the fx9 to Burano that came by 😅
Man I wish I was able to go the Sony event in Toronto! Another time perhaps!
But yes, the Sony Burano seems like it would be really great for solo or minimal crew productions in regards to it's designs and features, especially for it's VND, IBIS, and Autofocus. It's not perfect, but looks really solid nonetheless.
Next time !!
Dope video :)
You killed the BTS!
would love to know more about your shooting set up and grading process for the clips of the lady dancing on the roof top. love that look! (2:47)
Doing a grading video and that soon 🙏🏾
I believe I've been a regular viewer for about a year and half or so now, so perhaps I've missed you covering it.
Have you ever covered using an Arri camera? What are your thoughts if you have use some of them before? I'm curious on how you would feel about their features and image quality you could output by testing them out.
Especially the LF family and Arri Alexa 35. Thanks for reading if you got this far and have a good day (or night)!
I haven’t ! Mostly because I’ve never used an Arri before 😅 well once and if doesn’t count , maybe one day !
@@KofiYeboah one day! Maybe, possibly, presumably...
No rush if you're using the cameras you like now and/or help with the workflow you maintain right? I know on my end I'd love to operate one someday real soon! Until then my current cameras will more than suffice!
Thanks for the response!
Hey man, great initial review. I'm having problem with the audio of my Burano, my Sony XLR mic does not work. Do you think I need to fiddle some audio settings in the camera? Thanks!
Oh that’s weird , have you tried so y support !
@@KofiYeboah gonna change the mic first and see 🙏
Have you had a chance to compare the Burano to A9III? Totally different cameras, but images out of the A9III look more cinematic, even through it should be the other way around.
Idk if I completely side with that as I used the a9iii at the 2024 shrine bowl and image is great, not THAT great though haha
One day Sony will gift you an amazing camera like the Burano! I just know it!
Maybe !! Hopefully agah
I own a Burano and the rolling shutter won’t be a problem at the most if the time. But honestly it is just too much for a cam that costs 25k
I saw the IR pollution was a bit rough. I'd rather have 2 KX's for less, personally. When it first dropped it sounded like it was super bad ass but the more I see there is hesitation, even from uber Sony fans.
Idk if it’s just me, but I hadn’t had a terrible time with it yet! It is there though
Excited what features drip down to an FX6 Mark II
Same here !!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Very important observation from Kofi, Sony are an 'ecosystem' company with regards to cameras. Yes, you would expect the Burano to look superior to the FX6/3/30, but they have to have the same colour profile, so you can interchange and use the Sony line-up together, grade 'similar' and mix and match on multi-cam shoots. I personally an in said ecosystem, and it works.
That’s how I see them at least 🙏🏾
thank you for the review , but you did not mention the nasty IR pollution especially in the blacks at min 4:32 in comparison to FX3
Can this camera be used without the default monitor? Or does it always have to be used?
Example, use it on a gimbal with an external Shinobi monitor attached to the handle.
Technically yes without touch function but I doubt you’re putting this on an RS gimbal
Hit us with that 2 light interview set up 😎
Soon !!!
Did you notice any IR pollution when using the ND's? Is gimbal use a no go?
It’s a slight ( like super slight) shift but easily tradable
Gimbal , no go, I didn’t have a a short enough AC cable to V mount for this guy, so I think it’s a Ronin 2 affair
Hey, man! Solid video! There are a couple of editing errors in the first half of the video, fyi.
My bad!
*It's an AMAZING camera, BUT...BEYOND My League as the FX30 is something I'm still learning and I've had this Camera since April of last year. BUT, I do love Cinema Cameras, and I wonder if people use Cinema Lens for just talking head videos*
this is probably my next camera
I wish it was mine !
informative video
Thanks 🙏🏾
Rolling shutter wobble doesn’t only affect the image when you’re whiping it side to side, it also ruins slow motion footage because the wobbles are more exaggerated and pronounced. No one talks about that aspect of rolling shutter wobble.
Valid but I still don’t think I’ve ever been put off about it or hyper focused on it that much
Top gun was shot with rolling shutter Sony Venice and was fine .
I agree!
The Venice has around 3ms but the Burano is around 17ms. Everything below 10 is good and not realy a problem compared to a global shutter.
This cam is a crazy mix of good and bad things. That‘s why I canceld my order.
Let‘s wait for the fx 6 II and the fx 9 II.
The Red/Nikon Raptor with killer AF and global shutter will rock for sure too.
Thanks for the review anyways. 👍🏼
I think it depends on the person , I’ve been using it every day and I haven’t been bothered (yet) to be honest
How often are people whip panning a camera around ha. Shooting an object moving fast won’t have distortion esp if the camera is not whip panning
Fast readout speed is mostly placebo tbh. I think below 16ms no one will notice for most use cases, which makes global shutter even less relevant, unless you're shooting a car chase or other really intense action sequences. And even in those cases I can't really tell the difference between the FX3 at 8ms and a global shutter camera.
I've seen complaints about Infrared pollution with the electronic ND on the Burano which is a lot more concerning for such an expensive camera.
It’s not that bad really , I’m actually using it right now aha
Toronto!!!!
🫡🫡
is that video that's shows how to use two lights in gym out?
At least 3✌🏾
@@KofiYeboahmy bad I meant “where can I find that video”
People should stop justifying bad rolling shutter with “I don’t do any crazy stuff with my camera”.
Come on, you will always notice the distortion with handheld + walking.
There’s no justification for this, especially when it has the same sensor as in Venice 2 or A1 with an exceptional ~3 ms rolling shutter.
I mean, a lot of times it doesn’t bug me
What I learned as better to spend a little extra for the Red V-Raptor X.
If you got budget like that , go for it 👍🏾
now owned by nikon
I think Sony has been dropping the ball lately on the FX/Cinema line. The FX3 is arguably one of their best products. But looking at the Burano, we all really expected more, especially with that price point. The biggest issues I have with Sony are:
1. Weak UI in Menus
2. Missing features (False Colors, Shutter Angle, etc.)
3. Slow AF Firmware updates. Who announces a firmware update to fix baseline missing features 9 months before release. Yes we are fixing, but you HAVE TO WAIT
4. A bit of a miss on just Product management, their various lines don't seem to have a cohesive strategy and swim lanes. Like the Sony A1 who cares about it now? They seemingly restrict features to not compete with other cameras. Or they just wipe out other cameras with a cheap version that has more features, it is confusing.
I think Burano has an amazing image, but it is an expensive FX9 or a very limited Venice. It could have been so much more. But rolling shutter, IR Pollution, Clunky view finder, Only LT raw, weird confusing resolution modes, pretty sub-par slow motion, no false colors, and limited output overlays--it just seems they skimped on the little things that really don't add up to the price point.
@@chrisabruce We actually got to talk to the engineers of the FX line in August, the way the firmware code was written to give us the things we do like actually is the cause of delay
The alpha line and cinema line people don’t talk to each other. Which is why there’s not software sharing , up until recently, they were almost two different entities, the FX3 was the first time they shared notes, and I think they did a good job
By no means am I saying the Buranos perfect, if you want fast read out, and high res slow mo, the red raptors right there, imho, I don’t want Sony just to copy it and slap their logo on it, that said, the same issues with the raptor (I’ve camera operated on both, own a KX and used the Venice) has to be solved the same way unfortunately, with money an IrND, and a swivel for the viewfinder solves a few of those, just like an ND filter and an expander module is needed for the raptor to have things like more I/o
The Komodo and Komodo x and I think the raptor have bad ir pollution too, that’s not an exclusive to Sony
Honestly I've never cared about rolling shutter vs global shutter ... unless it's virtual production. But that type of budget means a global shutter camera rental is also in the budget.
That’s kinda exactly what I was trying to get at, like if you KNOW you want a faster read out camera, there’s already one that exists, well 3, the Burano isn’t the Sony Raptor, or Sony Komodo which I guess because they’re the same price everyone compares the two, if you’re willing to have a $25,000 camera , IR cut filters comparatively cost around the price to give say a red Raptor XLR audio which it doesn’t have immediately, and requires a module you have to buy, i agree
Camera tech is crazy, but like you said generally people who are in the realm of needing this camera will pick it up! I dig how many options Sony has that gets a consistent image all around.
It’s cool how you’re getting these opportunities because it’s very fitting for you as a teacher in this space. Your breakdowns aren’t loaded with camera jargon that leaves me lost in the weeds, super down to earth with your explaining 🫡
I’m glad I’m digestible , sometimes I don’t know if I am
Ayeeee
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice video. You forgot to mention the internal ND quality of this camera, a shitty one for $25k. Better 15$ more get Venice 2.
The homie rob machado covered it
I've watched so many videos on this cam and for 99% of people I'm not sure the value is there over the fx6.
For the people who are happy with the FX6, and have clients in that budget, no I’d be happy with what ya have
IR pollution on 25k camera?
Watching this for educational and entertainment purposes. I have no business looking into this camera 😂
Not the Honda Civic owners commenting on what Teslas should do 😂
😂😂😂
Man you aint playing - you use everything - fx3, fx30, fx6, burano, red ...damm leave some for us 😂
Some I’ve kept for years, some I get lent for like a week 😅
Who edited this? your voice so low in the mix then the music plays and its like god dammit dude volume down!! lol
🤷🏾♂️
Im trying to get those silly guys dancing clients.
I’ll pretend I know what that means 😅
sony burrito
🌯
I think not having 4K@240fps and 1080p@480fps at least is a bit shocking. I wouldn't buy a camera that's not weather sealed for extremely minor improvements in image quality.
Looks like it’s not the camera for you ✌🏾 which is cool
@@KofiYeboah Massive Sony fan here, but would rather get the RED Raptor with 8K@120fps, 4K@240fps if I'm gonna pay that much. Overall, I'm not the targeted market for it.
So stick with the fx3? Lol
Unless you got like 40k Canadian, might as well
@@KofiYeboah it would take me 15-20 jobs to pay that off lol 2 years of debt doesn’t seem that bad
@@yourlegacyfilmmaker yeah I think my litmus test is like 6-10 jobs to pay it off, anything bmore, and I have no business buying
@@KofiYeboah yea that’s a good ratio as well.
25k is pretty steep whew
Not for the weak ahah
Sony making a 30k camera with the same lowlight as an a7iv or fx30 is the most sony thing ive seen this year. 😅
Keep in mind, the same Dual base iso is in the Venice 2, and close o the same on the FX9, at that price point, most people are lighting sets if theyre slinging a 30k+ Camera
@@KofiYeboah most definitely. Lighting is everything no matter what you have i just find it funny.
I see rainbow
A near perfect camera but overpriced by 10k...
10 might be a stretch , maybe 5 😅
Great camera but it’s overpriced.
Depends on who you talk to, I just met with some reps and alot of DPs are t swayed away by the price at all
so, you ar enot a colorist, you don't know the specs like dynamic range, what is this then?
This is SPARTA!
FX3 looks better 🤣
Sure 👍🏾
Overrated and overpriced
👍🏾
they should let you have it, it's free press for sony
One day!
@@KofiYeboah hopefully they'll add 8k60 in the future
Sony "Boring" Burano ,meh. 🫤
ok!
