SONY 全画幅摄影机Venice在今年2、3月份刚刚开始发售，虽然目前的固件版本还不健全，目前还不能支持36 x 24mm全画幅区域；同时也还没有最终开启原生双ISO 的ISO 500（ISO 2500）的性能选项（这些都将要到6月后才能逐步实现）。所以目前的Venice还是一部“半成品”，但好莱坞号召力第一的詹导（詹姆斯.卡梅伦）已经宣布他的《阿凡达2、3》将全部采用SONY Venice作为主摄影机进行拍摄。

此次负责掌机的摄影师依然是和卡梅伦合作多年的大名鼎鼎的《真实的谎言》与《泰坦尼克号》的主摄影师：罗素.卡本特。

SONY也将为此次卡梅伦《阿凡达2、3》的拍摄特别定制Venice摄影机，包括最早一批实现３６　ｘ　２４ｍｍ全画幅区域采样能力，及ＩＳＯ５００／２５００的双原生基准ＩＳＯ。　和最先为《阿凡达２、３》而开启的３６　ｘ　２４ｍｍ区域６Ｋ全采样１－－６０ｆｐｓ的１６Ｂｉｔ可变帧及４Ｋ／１６Ｂｉｔ下１－－９０ｆｐｓ变帧。

同时ＳＯＮＹ也将为卡梅伦特别定制感光器模块与摄影机机身完全分离的特殊Ｖｅｎｉｃｅ分离式摄影机。

'Avatar' Sequels: James Cameron Confirms Use of Sony Venice Cameras for Production

Ever since James Cameron announced plans for his Avatar sequels, there's been plenty of speculation about which cameras he would use. Today, Cameron and producer Jon Landau's Lightstorm Entertainment confirmed that Sony’s Venice cameras with 3D stereoscopic rigs will be used for Avatar 2 and 3, which will be lensed by Oscar winning cinematographer Russell Carpenter (Cameron's Titanic).

Cameron had also previously expressed interest in high dynamic range and incorporating high frame rates. The Venice (and generally all major motion cameras) support these options as well.

Said the director in a released statement: “The Venice camera delivers the most astonishing image I’ve ever seen. The blacks are rich, deep and velvety, the highlights and source lights are amazingly bright. For the first time, we truly appreciate what the term high dynamic range means.”

Sony said it worked closely with Lightstorm to customize the Venice camera — Sony's first full-frame digital motion picture camera, which was unveiled last September — for the production's specific needs, with regular meetings taking place between Cameron, his production teams and Sony’s engineering group.

The camera maker explained that "using the new Sony cabling system, the only part of the Venice carried on the rig will be the image sensor optical blocks, significantly reducing on-board camera weight to about three pounds per sensor block. By lowering the weight and improving ergonomics, Cameron and the Lightstorm team will have the ability to shoot with greater flexibility and freedom." This could include use with Steadicams, drones, gimbals and shooting in confined spaces, a Sony rep added.

Performance capture work is already underway on the sequels, though principal photography isn't expected to begin until early 2019.

The first of Cameron's four planned Avatar sequels is scheduled for a Dec. 18, 2020 release
