American manufacturer Zacuto recently released a Z-Finder frame for the Sony BURANO. This frame attaches directly to the camera’s LCD screen; it doesn’t block the control buttons and gives you quick access to the touchscreen with one flip of a lever. A kit is also available with the Z-Finder Pro 2.5x loupe if you don’t already have one. So, let’s take a closer look at it! The Sony BURANO was announced in September 2023, and while it is already available for pre-order, the camera will only start shipping in spring 2024. In a nutshell, this impressive compact camera can shoot in 8K at up to 30fps and 4K at 120fps, has a dual native ISO of 800 and 3200, features the same autofocus capabilities as the Sony FX6/FX9, and most importantly, it is the first cinema camera to have built-in ND filters and In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS).
