Sony announced RIALTO 65, a new modular 65mm format sensor block for its high-end VENICE 2 camera, targeting a first-half 2027 release. This development aims to increase the flexibility and modularity of the VENICE 2 system for professional video production. The new sensor will be one of the industry's largest, supporting 9.6K 3:2 open gate recording and multiple readout modes.
The introduction of the RIALTO 65 positions Sony's VENICE 2 as an even more flexible system for cinematographers seeking large-format acquisition. By offering a 65mm sensor as a modular component, Sony allows production houses to upgrade existing VENICE 2 units rather than investing in entirely new camera systems for larger formats. This move intensifies competition in the high-end cinema camera market, where resolution and sensor size are key differentiators. Watch how quickly major studios and rental houses adopt this new modularity for their premium content productions, particularly for cinematic series and features that demand extensive post-production flexibility.
