inefinity has unveiled the new Vista – a palm-sized full-frame camera aimed squarely at indie filmmakers and creators.
At £2399∕$2499, the Vista is set to become a serious disruptor. As an affordable cinema camera, this places it in direct competition with cameras such as the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K, Canon EOS R6 V, Nikon ZR and Sony FX3. It has a full-frame 6K sensor with dual base ISO at 800 and 5120, giving 14 stops of dynamic range, and is capable of open gate 3:2 recording. There’s an optical low-pass filter to combat moiré, it has a compact aluminium body weighing just 610g∕1.3lb and comes with either active E, PL or the brand’s own Kine lens mounts. A four-inch OLED touchscreen, dual full-size 4K HDMI outputs and built-in 220GB SSD, alongside CFexpress Type B, also feature. Footage can be offloaded directly through USB-C or recorded to an external SSD simultaneously with the internal memory. Recording modes include 50fps in 17:9 at 6K and 4K, as well as 5.7K in 3:2 and 5K in 4:3. To go faster, there’s an S35 4K 17:9 mode at 100fps. Codecs include ProRes 422 in standard, HQ or LT versions as well as H.265. Colour choices include KineLog3 and support for Rec. 709, as well as 3D LUTs. The new Vista promises an entire range of practical production touches. Dual USB-C ports enable live streaming via a smartphone, plus there’s built- in stereo microphones, headphone monitoring, a 3.5mm mic input with timecode support and multiple rigging points located across the body. Kinefinity has also worked alongside Tilta to develop a dedicated ecosystem of accessories, which includes cages, handles and rigging options. proav.co.uk
