There are many surprises in the ECS in Las Vegas this year; Wearable
devices and 4K are two of the biggest trends at CES,
and Panasonic has managed to make both collide. Panasonic has unveiled more about the Panasonic GH 4K,
which will fit into their mirrorless camera line.
The outfits revealed a UHD
(Ultra High Definition) camera that folks can wear on their head with the help
of a plastic mount that wraps around their ears and neck. This Ultra
High-Definition model is lined with some more powerful innards.

Detailed tech specs are being kept under lock and key, but the unit on
display was sending a live feed of the pixel-packed footage to a 4K display
through a mini-HDMI port.
This 4K camera produced sharp video free of
stuttering, and caught a fairly wide field of view courtesy of its fisheye
lens.
UHD content can be recorded at 200 Mbps, and
output in a full live feed via a mini-HDMI port (thanks to ALL-I Intra mode) to
display on a computer or record to a hard drive. More details are
set to arrive with the camera’s official release in late February, when it’ll
arrive with a price tag of $2,000 or less.
The Panasonic 4K camera key features:
- 16mp
- 21mm OLED viewfinder, 3,000+ dot.
- 1/8000 shutter
- 1mil dot OLED screen

Even if
you have seen the specifications as mentioned above, but we will only find out
in detail in February 2014, so you need to be patient to be able to enjoy the
photos and videos in Ultra High Definition.
Panasonic GH4 cannot pitch itself
as Sony has also ready to compete with 4K camcorders.
Naturally produced Sony's
4K cameras certainly can produce still photo with brilliant results with an
estimated price of around $ 2000. Are you ready to spend up to such a high
price? But for a quality, you will definitely consider one of these two brands.
Are you ready to capture the best moment in 4K?
