Cameras

JVC have a long tradition with broadcast cameras such as the very popular GY-HM650, which has been used frequently by the BBC for example. And recently JVC made an announcement they are making a foray into 4K territory by announcing the GY-LS300 – a 4K Super 35 sized sensor with a flexible Micro Four Thirds mount in a very compact design.

Fresh off the heels of the release of their latest flagship Monitor/Recorder – the Odyssey7Q+, Convergent Design have some great news for cinematographers looking to bulletproof their footage with high-quality ProRes and Raw recoding in 2K and even 4K.

After months of hard work by the engineering team at AJA doing their best to get the camera finalised and ready for production, the wait is finally over as AJA recently announced that the camera is ready and is now shipping globally.

The Atomos Shogun is the perfect companion to the Panasonic GH4, which already shoots 4K internally on SDXC cards, however for those wanting to upgrade their footage to a 10bit 422 chroma sampling – the Atomos Shogun will provide such recording capabilities via HDMI. The Sony A7s with its full frame super-sensitive sensor can currently record 1080p internally, however the Shogun can unlock the true potential of this phenomenal camera giving it the 4K (UHD) treatment.

Sitting between the XF100/105 and the larger XF300/305, the XF200/205 is a serious video machine packing some serious features in a small body making it accessible and easy to use for video professionals, while enabling all to achieve stellar results.
