Sony is building a 65mm format sensor. On June 3, the imaging giant announced that it is developing a 65mm sensor for its Venice 2 cinema camera system, dubbed the Rialto 65.
The 65mm format is technically part of the medium format family, which covers sensors that are larger than 36mm but smaller than 100x130mm large format film. But, the Sony Rialto 65mm sensor is a 3:2 sensor built for cinema, making it wider but shorter than many typical stills-oriented 4:3 medium format cameras that tend to sit around 53.4x40mm.
