Bring on the pyro, the high noon exteriors, the shadows six stops below key. Sony’s SRW-9000PL takes on the most challenging assignments. And shines. The PL mount welcomes your 35mm motion picture lenses. S-Gamut extends your color palette while S-LOG gamma preserves your vision from velvety blacks to piercing specular highlights. And the HDCAM-SR™ 4:4:4 image is not afraid of color grading. Or green screen. Or VFX. You bring the challenge. We’ll bring the camera: the new 9000PL.
