[quote]There's a 14.2-megapixel 1-inch Exmor R CMOS sensor and a BIONZ X processor, enabling full-resolution 4K shooting at 24p and 30p with XAVC S encoding. There's an optically stabilized Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 12x optical zoom and a seven-bladed aperture, which Sony claims should offer some significant bokeh. A new My Voice Canceling feature reduces vocals from behind the camera, serving to minimize capturing the videographer's own voice. There's a 3.5-inch (921k-dot) LCD and an OLED viewfinder for framing; 1/4, 1/16 and 1/64 ND filters; WiFi with smartphone control; and output to a 4K TV via a single HDMI cable. Sony's Handycam AX100 4K camcorder is set to ship in March for $2,000.[/quote]
this will surely innovate the amateur porn scene
except most people I know who buy a "home camcorder" pay no more than $500
and whats the point of a 4K home camcorder when 90% of homes probably dont have a 4k or UHD tv

also lol @ 1" sensor and "significant bokeh"
$2000?
No thank you. I'd rather buy that iron man suit.
does it say anything about memory because a 4k/30p camcorder will fill a regular SD card that most people have really quickly

Now you can see every disgusting piece of untrimmed hair and blemishes intended in HD
doesn't the galaxy note 3 record 4k video?
Are we heading into an age of resolution wars?
"Your tv has 4k? Well our tv has 5k, take that!"

Can't really happen, there wouldn't be any 5K content to view on a 5K TV
8K I guess could happen in a few years, that's already a standard for digital cinema
This is actually incredibly nice. Curious to see lens specs but I imagine they are similar to the rx10.

here's hoping companies rolling out this kind of technology will push 4k TVs and monitors closer to being standard
[QUOTE=meppers;43443713]doesn't the galaxy note 3 record 4k video?[/QUOTE]
Yeah mine does, at 60 fps too lol

Sony is definitely pushing the higher def panels, they had the first in the market.
Here's hoping though that XAVC S codec makes its way to their other cameras, it's the same encoding they use on their high end cinema cameras!

[i]Aww man, check out that pimple on that pornstar's ass![/i]
FUCK only 2k? My current sony video camera was 2,500 dollars.
Fuck.

Not an abnormal price all things considered. I remember seeing a 1080p miniDV home video cam at Best Buy 10 years ago for slightly more than that. I imagine 4K cameras will follow a similar path.

Panasonic's DVX100 was first generation 24P on a camcorder. It cost $3K.
2000 bucks? That's honestly not that bad in price when I've seen most 4k TVs at least two to three times that amount.
Umm

Except its CCD is fucking tiny in comparison.
There's touting 4K resolution and there's touting 4K resolution with hardware to back it up.

Exactly. Both my Galaxy Nexus and Canon Rebel T3i can record at 1080p@24 fps. Its not even a competition in which will have better video quality when it comes to low light, optic quality, and sensor quality.

Chicken and Egg. People complain when either side makes stuff.
"But no one has 4k tv's to play the stuff on."
"But there is no 4k content, what is the point"

Why did we invent 1080p TVs when there wasn't much 1080p content, and why create 1080p content when noone has any 1080p TVs

Future proofing. Footage from this will still look good in 10 years, etc.
isn't 1920x1080 high enough?
I mean, in order for pixelation to occur you need to have a [b]gigantic[/b] tv and be sitting pretty close to it

Yeah, 4k seems pretty overkill if watching on even decently sized TVs. But then again, even if you're shooting in 4k and watching in 1080 you're gonna benefit. Downscaling is good.

This is digital technology we're talking about. Tell me one thing that in the last two decades that companies have just decided "We're done."
Internet connections better, framerates faster, GPU's stronger, resolutions bigger. We're all gonna be pretty old dudes by the time digital stuff becomes matured technology with no room for massive innovation.

People would have said that about everything before it.
Why can't we just push the boundaries regardless of whether we can tell the difference?

Not really. Have you ever seen a good 4K TV? There's really no comparison, the 4K TV is amazing to look at compared to the 1080p one.
[QUOTE=theLazyLion;43444228]Yeah mine does, at 60 fps too lol[/QUOTE]
The Note 3 can do 3840x2160p30 or 1920x1080p60, you can't do 3840x2160p60.
