is sony stepping up? big announcement on the 20th I guess

[Liam Hall]

I would have to agree with this plus Sony's biggest market is still ENG and consumer, which would explain somewhat why they've held back quite a bit on going after the cinema market (as far as cameras are concerned).

I think Sony consider both the F23 and F35 to be digital cinema cameras. Also, given Sony bought Columbia Pictures in 1989 I'd say they've been after the cinema market for some time!

Not to mention the venerable F900 and the new F800 Cine Alta models.

"How do you make a big hit bigger?" makes it sound to me like an upgrade to an existing camera.

Philip Bloom is listening to rumors and thinks it'll be an EX1R and possibly a few other things.
