Cameras

Earlier today at the Photokina 2016 trade show in Germany, Panasonic announced the development of their most advanced 4K mirrorless camera to date - the much anticipated Panasonic LUMIX GH5. The successor to the very popular GH4 features some eyebrow raising features such as 6K photo capture, 4K video at 60 frames per second, and internal recording in 10bit 422 colour sub-sampling - a feat that no other stills camera has to date.

With the release of the latest firmware version 4.0, the Panasonic Varicam LT can now output 4K Raw up to 30p via a single SDI, or 4K/60p via Dual-link SDI to a compatible external recorder. At the moment those are the Convergent Design Odyssey7Q+ and the Atomos Shogun Inferno. The firmware update is free of charge for Varicam LT owners.

The brand new VariCam Pure digital cinematography camera. is a RAW-only camera that takes the VariCam 35 4K recording head and a newly developed 2.0 V-Raw 4K recorder from Codex for a completely new cinematic experience.

With the announcement of the new EOS C700 flagship 4K camera in the EOS Cinema line-up, the now ageing Canon C500 gets a welcomed price drop, that makes it even more appealing to broadcast and cinema productions.
