Back in the day, Panasonic's DVX100 was DV Shop's top selling camera and now Panasonic is bringing back the DVX vibe in a new 4K format that shoots to SD cards.
Info from Panasonic's press release:
The DVX200 is optimized for 4K/HD production, sharing the VariCam family characteristics of filmic tonality
and colorimetry, with natural, subtle rendering of skin flesh tones, and
a V-Log curve emulating the natural grey-scale rendition of the VariCam
35. The camera features a newly-developed 4/3” large-format
MOS sensor and will record 4K (4096 × 2160) / 24p, UHD (3840 ×
2160) / HD (1920 × 1080) 60p / 50p / 30p / 25p / 24p in either MP4 /
MOV file formats. There are two SD card slots, facilitating backup and
relay recording. For professionals working worldwide, the camera’s
master frame rate is selectable between 59.94Hz (23.98Hz) / 50.00Hz /
24.00Hz.
The DVX200’s three manual operation lens
rings—13x zoom (Cam driven), focus and iris—will provide a comfortable
manual control similar to an interchangeable lens camera, but without
the need for actual lens changes. The zoom ring’s solid feel and smooth
action allow delicate ultra-slow zooming. In addition, the camera’s
multi-step zoom control provides fast response and smooth zoom action,
yielding the creative freedom every camera operator desires. The zoom
control on the handle enables variable speed zoom, allowing fine zoom
control even for low angle shots. The DVX200 also features an enhanced Image Stabilizer, including a five-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer and 4x correction-area Image Stabilizer that
produces clear images without blurring, and a micro-drive focus unit
that improves focus speed, tracking and capture performance,
facilitating 4K focusing and shallow focus shooting.
