Sony has announced a flurry of new upgrades for its camcorders, including 100fps additions across the board. Earlier we reported on the rather sparse announcement of the forthcoming Ninja V successor that will support the recording of raw 4K 100fps footage. It’s no coincidence that Sony has announced forthcoming firmware updates to its FX6 and FX9 camcorders, which output precisely this format in an update to come in May.
   

The new firmware later in the year for the FX9 will also add an anamorphic mode to desqueeze both 2x and 1.3x anamorphic images in the viewfinder. There will also be a centre scan mode for S16mm and B4 lenses.

Sony hasn’t stopped there, however. Its PXW-Z280 camcorder will be receiving its own firmware update later this year that will add 100fps HD as well as enhanced cloud compatibility. The shoulder mount PXW-Z750 camcorder will be gaining an expanded cache record system to ensure critical moments are not lost.
