The empire strikes back! Looking at the specs and innovative features of this new camera from Sony, we eagerly anticipated the arrival of this latest addition to the CineAlta line at our CineD headquarters. Now the time has come, and we torture-tested the BURANO in our standard CineD lab test. Curious to hear the results?

A big “thank you” again to my dear colleague Florian Milz who helped with every aspect of this lab test! The Sony BURANO in the CineD lab. Image credit: CineD So let’s start with rolling shutter.
