Sony Extends VENICE 2 with 65mm RIALTO Sensor for 9.6K Open-Gate

Sony unveiled RIALTO 65, a modular 65mm image-sensor block that can mount to the VENICE 2 or operate remotely via the VENICE Extension System, enabling a 9.6K 3:2 open-gate workflow and expanding the VENICE ecosystem for large-format cinema. The sensor measures about 64.60 mm diagonal (53.75 x 35.83 mm) and offers roughly 2.2× the light-receiving area of a full-frame sensor, promising a larger image, shallower depth of field, and compatibility with multiple 65mm lenses through configurable readout modes. Release is planned for the first half of 2027, with a public showing at Cine Gear Expo 2026 in Los Angeles. This move prolongs VENICE 2’s lifecycle by adding a 65mm expansion path rather than replacing the camera body, though pricing, lens support, dynamic range, and frame rates remain to be seen.

The story follows Corvette, a booster, and a crew of hijinks against a designer-clothes empire, blending communist agitprop with zany humor. While the plot can feel shaggy and its pacing uneven, the film’s bold visuals, inventive set pieces, and sheer love of cinema make it a joyous, rewatchable celebration of the medium.
