You mean Sony sensor under Varicam brand?
Absolutely cheap, no. Relatively cheap… maybe? If it keeps the Varicam sensor and is appreciably under 10K, it'd be a bargain. Relatively speaking.

One thing we know for sure - it won't be cheap.
For now it is mockup, most probably made to check feedback.

Do you have any inside information or is this just speculation on your part?
All images of the new Panasonic camera show it with full-frame Canon EOS-mount lenses, so I would be surprised if it has a m/43 sensor given that it features an EF mount. Hopefully it will have the same S35 sensor as the Varicam cameras, most likely with fewer in-camera recording options.
We shall see.
Here is the brochure for the AG-UMR20 recorder and AG-UCK20 camera: http://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/sales_o/broch_pdf/ag-umr20_uck20.pdf
The camera is a bit larger than a typical action camera, but has a 20x optical zoom lens. You need the recorder to be able control the camera or get any video out of it. Records H.264 but maxes out at 50 Mbps for 2160p30.
Little bit of an unusual setup, I guess it's intended for live events, concerts and such.

Sure. I heard that they will have Casey signature version for vloggers, this one I can arrange :-)
Agree with roly. Perhaps Vitaliy will arrange a group buy (for the Panavisions :o).
I think I'll get a couple of those Panavisions. That colour science will really help my Youtube cat videos get that cinematic look. What, rental only, you say? Dammit!
One a more serious note, the Atomos sumo looks killer for multicam shoots and on-set monitoring (and even grading), at that price.
