Kinefinity's palm-sized full-frame 6K cinema camera is officially on pre-order at $1,999, with shipping in three to eight weeks. The Vista was the once of the buzziest cameras of NAB 2026, and here's the final spec.

Kinefinity has officially announced the Vista, a full-frame 6K cinema camera it first showed at NAB 2026, with final pricing and availability now confirmed.

The headline numbers from Vegas in April, full-frame, open gate, sub-$3000, palm-sized form factor, were enough to generate a considerable buzz around the camera. And the full unveil at Cine Gear does nothing to dispel that. In fact, at a $2499 price point (and a $1999 introductory offer), if anything the hype is ramping up.

Full-frame 6K 3:2 Open Gate sensor

The Vista is built around a full-frame 6K 3:2 Open Gate sensor (6016 × 3984) with 14 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISO at 800 and 5120. In full-frame mode it records at up to 50 fps; switching to a Super 35 crop pushes 4K to 100 fps. Codec options are ProRes 422HQ or H.265 in three quality tiers.

Mount options at launch are KineMOUNT, Active E, and Active PL

The body weighs 610 g (21.5 oz) (KineMOUNT, no battery) and measures 101 × 87 × 65 mm (3.98 × 3.43 × 2.56 in). It’s machined from a single block of aircraft aluminum. A built-in 220 GB SSD means no media is required to shoot, and it’s impressive that the company has brought it in as cheaply as it has given what has happened to memory prices recently. A CFexpress Type B slot adds a second recording path for simultaneous dual-card backup. Battery life from a single NP-F550-compatible cell runs around three hours at a 7.5 W draw.

Monitor and color

The built-in monitor is a 4-inch 6:5 OLED running at 700 nits with 360° flip and rotate, sized to show the full 3:2 Open Gate frame with room above and below for status overlays. Color handling runs through KineLOG3 with built-in 709 and Neutral 3D LUTs plus support for loadable and burn-in monitoring LUTs. Native anamorphic support covers full-frame and Super 35 configurations across up to 19 optical formats.

The Vista supports KineMOUNT, Active E, and Active PL mounts at launch, with dual HDMI and dual USB-C connectivity

Connectivity includes two full-size HDMI outputs, dual USB-C (both running full-speed simultaneously), WiFi, and Bluetooth. Mount options at launch are KineMOUNT, Active E, and Active PL.

Pricing and availability

The Vista is available to pre-order now at $1,999 (early bird pricing, saving $500 from the $2,499 MSRP), with shipping quoted at 3–8 weeks.
