A groundbreaking new entry has emerged in the high-speed cinema camera space compatible with the Sony E-mount ecosystem. According to reports from global camera outlet SonyAlphaRumors and international media, optical solutions company Pixboom has officially announced and begun review distribution for the ‘Pixboom Spark’—a camera capable of high-speed capture up to 1,000fps in 4.6K/4K and a staggering 1,800fps in 2K.
Here is an in-depth breakdown of the core specifications behind the Pixboom Spark, a global shutter cinema camera that overcomes traditional RAM buffer limitations to deliver continuous RAW recording.
1. S35 BSI Global Shutter Sensor & Explosive Frame Rates
- Super 35mm BSI Global Shutter Sensor: Houses a 14.2MP S35 BSI CMOS sensor to deliver true global shutter recording without jello effects or motion distortion.
- 4K 1,000fps / 2K 1,800fps High-Speed Capabilities: Delivers up to 670fps in 4.6K Open Gate (3:2), 887fps–1,000fps in 4K (16:9), and up to 1,800fps in 2K for extraordinary slow-motion capture.
- Dual Base ISO (ISO 400 / 1600): Maintains 13 stops of dynamic range to capture clean, low-noise footage even in light-starved high-speed shooting environments.
2. Sony E-Mount Compatibility & Direct SSD RAW Recording
- Universal Electronic Mount (E / PL / EF Adaptable): Features a Sony E-mount interface with full electronic communication and AF support for Sony FE/E lenses, while allowing seamless swapping to professional PL or EF mounts.
- Dedicated Pixboom Pro Card (2.5TB SSD) Support: Moves past short multi-second RAM buffer constraints by writing RAW data directly to a 20Gbps 2.5TB SSD card—allowing up to ~7 minutes of continuous recording at 4K 1,000fps.
- All-in-One Compact Body: Integrates a 3.5-inch high-function touchscreen and a V-mount battery plate into a 1.1kg all-aluminum body to maximize field usability and portability.
