4K raw camera at upcoming NAB rumors

Vitaliy_Kiselev — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 00:54:57 +0000

Rough translation made by one of our members:

We had so many problems with our video cameras lately. They are all outdated and price is hugely overblown. Look at our TV business, it is barely alive. Are we wanting to follow? We don't have much for uncoming NAB exhibition. And as I know one of competitors is preparing absolutely revolutional and cheap 4K resolution camera to be released at NAB. And it shoots this in raw. Imagine, 4K raw camera available for everyone! And where are we standing? Terrible!

Some specs leaked in last week on different sites:

4Kx4K square oversized m43 sensor
13 stops dynamic range
Raw recording to external SSD
120fps, but on what resolution?
No screen
