Here is a glimpse of a new 4K camera from Canon showing it off is Canon China President & CEO Hideki Ozawa.
- 1″ CMOS Sensor
- 58mm filter
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- Similar shape to the Canon EOS 70D
- External viewfinder
- Canon 10X optical zoom 8.9-89mm f/2.8-5.6 4k video fixed lens (35mm Equi. 24-240mm)
This seems to be from the domestic side of Canon as a fixed lens won’t go down well with professionals. This puts even more pressure on Canon Professional to announce a 4K replacement for the C300. More news when we get it.
So it looks like a Sony FDR-AX100 competitor, with a different form factor.
Fixed lens 🙁
If I’m correct That would be around 24-240 7,5-15 if we compare it to a full frame. At least I hope they add ND filters. Not very enticing against a GH4 or a pxw-x70
If anyone sees Sony reps at NAB, please let them know that the Sony X70 should have the same features as the lower costing Sony AX100. The Sony AX100 has 100mbps with the new 3.0 firmware for crying out loud.
