Sony’s new RIALTO 65 costs $80,000, shoots up to 9.6K, and still isn’t a complete camera by itself.
The detachable 1.5 kg camera head contains a massive 65mm-format sensor with about 2.2 times the imaging area of full frame, but it still requires a Sony VENICE 2 body to actually operate.
That pushes the core hardware setup to roughly $140,000 before lenses and other accessories.
The RIALTO 65 is expected to arrive in the first half of 2027.

Can't wait to take a selfie on this one 😂
This will make a great webcam! I always have trouble mounting the whole cinema body to my monitor; this way, I can mount only the camera head to the monitor!
You forgot the lenses that cost tens of thousands easily or hundreds of thousands with multiple lenses
Now do how much the lenses cost 😂
thisll be perfect for those asmr camera gear unboxing shorts where they just make noises
so basically dji ronin 4d without stabilisation? (ik ronin is only 8K but its still 132k less
This is why Lucas and Cameron choose Sony over Arri.
Perfect to plug into a camlink and use for streaming
I couldn't imagine a more disgusting and annoying sound effect at the beginning, thank you from all headphone users!
is it good for my school webcam?
The clever part?? Is that’s it’s not for me
Why are all the numbers so weird?
Why only 9.6k ? Why not 16k like many cameras of such range have ?
this is nice for street photography
That's a bit pricey. I think I could only afford about 3 of them if I have to buy the Venice 2 bodies as well.
Perfect for my food recipes
Memory = 1 Lamborghini
Exactly what I need for my YouTube head shots that I edit on my phone 😄
This is for Top Gun type of movies. Not for us .
My next WebCam! 😎
Consumers: “how greedy can you get?”
Sony: “yes”
MKBHD is already solo vlogging with it about a $500 xiaomi phone
so basically a medium format cinema camera?
Perfect for a webcam
Yes fit this in my real me phone in 50$ piliiizzzz😂😂😂😂
Thst's not even it's final form
Perfect for street photography! Anyways, it’s my understanding that most filmmakers rent their cameras anyway.
Happy Birthday To Me 😊😊😊
Sony is becoming the apple of cameras
MKBHD is watching…
I will stick with mt R6v. 😂
Nobody – really nobody needs this
Will be perfect for my top down shoot while I unbox Smallrig products 🤣
Tom Cruise used these cameras (with the current gen of extension heads) to fit inside of a fighter jet cockpit when filming Top Gun Maverick
So? It’s cheaper than what they used in the 90s
Awesome for TikTok
My cats' instagram profile is about to level up
The only thing I don’t believe is the release date lol.
Holy mother of Christ
is this the one that they use for latest spiderman movie?
It has a sensor in it that you can’t find anywhere else I get the price
Best for beginners.
🙂
Perfect for Wedding 🎉❤
Do we even have the capabilities to DISPLAY this data?? Loll
