  • 4 Step ND Filters is pretty cool in the cheap Sony HXR-MC88, but man is that ballsy of Sony to announce a 1080 AVCHD camera in 2019! Gee.

    And most fun here is that 4K and better modes here are disabled by software. May be, of course, they also saved $1-2 on DRAM buffers :-).

    As I call it - this is real monster made according to management wishes.
