Priced at USD 8995, the new professional production camera is capable of shooting 4K/Ultra HD and 2K/HD resolutions and offers in-camera Apple ProRes recording, including 12-bit 444. The camera has a true 4K (4096×2160) APS-C sized CMOS sensor with an electronic global shutter and 12 stops of dynamic range.
AJA president Nick Rashby said that special attention has been paid to Cions ergonomics, particularly placement of ports and controls, and even features a suede shoulder pad and a wooden carrying handle. There are no proprietary connectors on the camera and the company has tried to make the camera completely compatible with industry standards, including a standard PL lens mount.
