This week we are featuring the highly anticipated Firmware version 2 for the Sony VENICE camera, a Panasonic competition and free EVA1 Guide e-Book by Barry Green plus new firmware updates for Sony FS7 and FS7 II cameras.

Panasonic announced the development of the AW-UE150, a new 4K integrated remote camera that will offer 4K/UHD - 60p capture, a first for a broadcast-class PTZ, scheduled for release in Winter 2018. The AW-UE150 will be the newest addition to Panasonic's comprehensive professional PTZ camera lineup.

After months of rumours and anticipation, Panasonic finally unveiled their top end Micro Four Thirds Lumix GH5 camera at the CES 2017 convention in Las Vegas. The Panasonic GH5 takes off where the GH4 left off, and now includes 4K/60p capture, a first for a camera of its class, and also another world's first - 10bit 4:2:2 capture in 4K at 24p to SD cards.

Experienced DP Tobias Mennie recently took the Panasonic Varicam LT and shot some beautiful night footage at ISO 5000 of Berlin, showcasing the unique dual-native ISO feature of the camera.

Earlier today at the Photokina 2016 trade show in Germany, Panasonic announced the development of their most advanced 4K mirrorless camera to date - the much anticipated Panasonic LUMIX GH5. The successor to the very popular GH4 features some eyebrow raising features such as 6K photo capture, 4K video at 60 frames per second, and internal recording in 10bit 422 colour sub-sampling - a feat that no other stills camera has to date.
