I have never before seen or bought a professional Sharp camcorder yet they have just announced this 8K camera. At $77 thousand US dollars I doubt they will be shifting many units.

• 1. World’s first camcorder integrating capabilities for video shooting and recording, playback, and line output for 8K (60p).
• 2. Compatible with 8K (60p) shooting thanks to a large, Super 35-mm-equivalent CMOS image sensor with 33 million pixels.
• 3. Realizes 4:2:2 sampling*⁶ and 10-bit recording of 8K (60p) images. A compression method that exerts low burden on the CPU makes editing more efficient and allows approximately 40 minutes of continuous recording (when using 2TB SSD pack).
• 4. Real-time output of uncompressed 8K (60P) images can be performed simultaneously with recording (equipped with quad-link 12G-SDI output terminal), making possible live 8K transmissions and replay output after recording.
• 5. Built-in SSD back slot for recording media. Realizes one-person operation at 8K shooting with V-mount battery drive.
