any price predictions for this? Maybe somewhere between xf405 and xf705? Like around 4000$?

Works in a live situation on XF400 which has the same sensor, so "Cropping" in live mode.

But that would fill the entire frame.

No. It gives you more sensor zoom in 1080P. It is seamless. Regular optical zoom for 4k and 1080 is 15X. Switch to 1080P, and digital zoom, then seamless 30X zoom instead of 15X, and the digital zoom is on the long end. Exactly what you need.

My guess is 5.999,-. This is a redesigned XF705, exept for the codec.

Possibly XF205 replacement?

Well…. The Sony F55/5 and Sony Fs7/7II were both designed and intended as cine cameras, yet became very, very popular at the network level as ENG cameras(historically and largely 2/3”).

Some tv broadcast stations have added cinema-style cameras to their arsenals to produce promos and some stylized news stories. They are not ideal for run and gun operations like Electronic News Gathering.

Cinema cameras have gotten pretty small.
Sony considers FX3 to be a cinema camera.

For the bulk of real ENG style shooting, that's actually worse.

You can accomplish a lot with an F55 and 17-120, but it's still not a real ENG camera with a 13x/14x W/A lens.
