We caught up with Panasonic at their booth to discuss its low-light performance, its ability to store as many LUTs as you want, and its modular design.
Here are some basic specs:
- S35MM 4096 X 2160 Advanced MOS Imager
- Native ISOs of 800 and 5000
- 14+ Stops of Latitude
- Variable Frame Rate — 1 to 120 fps in 4K
- Dual Recorder
- Records simultaneous 4K/ 2K/Proxy, or UHD/HD/Proxy + Raw to Codex (option)
- Apple ProRes 4:4:4:4 and ProRes HQ Built-in
- AVC-Intra Codecs -- Class 100 / Class 200 / Class 4:4:4
- 2-piece Modular Design (docks to AU-VREC1G recording module)
The VariCam is available now for $55K, so this is obviously going to be (and has been) a rental-only option for the vast majority of indie filmmakers. Head on over to Panasonic to learn more.
