AJA CION Cinema Camera

AJA’s debut camera, the CION, will begin shipping at the end of this month. The camera was supposed to be released this past summer, but much like other hardware-turned-camera-maker, AJA faced some production delays through the process.

The CION piqued our interest this past year at NAB, and we even had the opportunity to mess around with the camera and interview AJA:

In case you’ve forgotten what the CION has to offer, here is a list of notable specs:

  • 4K APS-C CMOS Image Sensor with Global Shutter
  • Internal DCI 4K/UHD & 2K/HD Recording
  • ProRes 4444 & 422 to AJA Pak Media Cards
  • AJA Raw via 3G-SDI Output up to 4K 120p
  • AJA Raw via Thunderbolt Out up to 4K 30p
  • PL Lens Mount with Back Focus Adjustment
  • 12 Stops of Dynamic Range

At the time of writing, CION will begin shipping at the end of this month and costs $8995.
