Earlier today, Convergent Design announced their flagship Odyssey7Q+ 4K RAW Recorder will support the Raw output on the new Panasonic Varicam LT. This is great news for cinematographers and productions requiring the highest level of digital cinema imagery for VFX and heavy colour grading work. The Varicam LT Raw will be included in the Odyssey7Q+ Raw bundle available to purchase directly from Convergent Design. Here at Visual Impact we can supply the Odyssey7Q+ 4K Raw Recorder, required media and accessories.

Panasonic just announced a brand new Varicam LT - lightweight and more compact version of the Varicam 35. The new camera incorporates the same Super 35 4K sensor from the bigger Varicam 35, as well as the massive 14+ stops dynamic range and the unique dual-native ISO features on its bigger brethren. Estimated cost for the body only is around $18K.

Panasonic is set to revolutionize the world of high-end digital cinema acquisition once again by introducing a brand new Varicam cinema camera in early February.

Panasonic continues to update their flagship 4K camera - the mighty Panasonic Varicam 35 by enhancing frame rate and codec options in latest firmware version 5.0. New codec options such as AVC-Intra 422 and AVC-Intra100 60i/50i formats are just some of the improvements in the latest firmware update.

Panasonic DVX200 is quite the unique camcorder. It features a 4/3 type 4K CMOS large sensor and a fantastic 13x zoom fixed Leica Dicomar lens all into a familiar handheld camcorder design. Just earlier today, Panasonic release the latest firmware 1.40 for the camera which adds support for a wireless remote control via an iPad app as well as other improvements.
