If you are in the market for a new camera and are considering making the leap into 4K and super-slow motion recording on a budget - you might want to take a look at our latest video in which we go over the important features and unique functionality in the Sony PXW-FS5, including what you need to record Raw.

Just a few days ago, Canon released a major firmware update for their XC10 4K hybrid stills and video camera, which improves the speed of AF in video by a factor of 2, and also adds MP4 recording format in HD plus a few more goodies.

The new Panasonic AG-AC30 is a Full HD compact, handheld camcorder with a 20x zoom lens with three independent rings for maximum flexibility and control, dual XLR pro audio inputs, a 50Mb/s on-board codec and a built-in LED light. The lightweight design will help those video producers looking for a small footprint and versatility.

The Sony FS5 and PXW-X70 offer not just fantastic images and 4K functionality, but also flexible features including the ability to stream live footage straight from the camera, a feature that many freelance camera professionals and production companies specialising in live events would surely appreciate.

Sony have released the latest free firmware update version 4.0 for their very popular Sony FS7 camera, which gives users the ability to record in true 24p in 4K XAVC-I alongside a few other exciting new features.
