Now with CES in Vegas going on (I almost went this year, but I think one trip to Vegas is enough for most people, it is for me!) we have at least 2, probably more 4K cameras out in the open.

As it is another stills camera that can shoot 4K, joining the 1DC in a very exclusive club. \u00a0I am assuming this is a MFT camera &#8211; after all, it says GH. This is fine of course, as there is a fine collection of MFT glass out there and a lot of people love the format. I personally prefer larger sensors of S35 and up, but that&#8217;s just me.<\/p>\n<p>We are still waiting for Panasonic to deliver a truly wonderful large sensor video camera. The AF100 is old and wasn&#8217;t brilliant. There are rumours&#8230;but you know how I feel about rumours!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see what this camera is actually like image-wise. The rumoured specs sound good (4K at 30p only though?)<\/p>\n<p>One of the things I am most curious about is what the actual HD image is like. After all with these 4K cameras popping up, and I am sure many more will follow, I ask the obvious question, &#8220;Shouldn&#8217;t you get your HD image right first?&#8221; The GH3 does have one of the better HD images out there, but it does have image issues. In fact the only stills camera with an HD image that looks as good as an image from a C300 is the 1DC&#8217;s Super 35mm mode. It&#8217;s astonishingly good.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, 4K down sampled to 2K\/ HD generally looks way superior to normally captured HD images. Part of the reason why the C300 HD image is so fantastic is the 4K sensor inside it. What this COULD mean (what is most exciting with these 4K cameras coming out) is we may actually start to see really fantastic HD images finally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gopb.co\/a7review\">I love my Sony A7R camera (reviewed here)<\/a>\u00a0but the quality of the HD image disappoints. Not as detailed as it should be, and there are image issues. This is the issue with stills cameras that shoot video. So let us hope this obsession with 4K could FINALLY bring us stunning HD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31012 alignnone lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;border: 2px solid black; margin: 2px;\" alt=\"IMG_360507\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_360507.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_360507.jpg 500w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_360507-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_360507-310x310.jpg 310w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31012 alignnone\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 2px;\" alt=\"IMG_360507\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_360507.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_360507.jpg 500w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_360507-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_360507-310x310.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The other camera is the FDR AX-100.

Also the ability to crop in incredible ways in post, as shown in my <a href=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net2013\/10\/25\/moonchicago\/\">&#8220;Chicago to the Moon film&#8221; and the accompanying blog post showing this creative aspect of 4K,<\/a> make the new format very attractive.

Most companies I work with can&#8217;t handle it. Most importantly though, there is no easy way of showing it yet. There are no 4K channels, no 4K BluRay players. Netflix is trialling 4K, but what will the bandwidth be? Plus, not many people have 4K TVs. Very few in fact.
