Sony FX3

According to latest rumors, Sony appears poised to shake up its cinema camera lineup with the introduction of the FX3 II, a sequel to the popular FX3 model from 2021.

Most notably, it is speculated to feature a global shutter, eliminating the rolling shutter distortion that can affect fast-moving subjects or pans.
