To me, calling this a DVX200 seems like Panasonic is saying "**** the HVX, it was a piece of garbage."

I mean, the HVX wasn't the best camera, but it was ground breaking & had a good run for it's day. Now the JVC HD1 / HD10, was just garbage.

Offering many top-end features such 4K/60p recording, a 13X optical zoom and a V-Log L gamma curve (12 stops of latitude, target) and delivering a shallow depth of field and a wide field of view, the DVX200 is the ideal companion camera to the company’s groundbreaking VariCam 35 4K camera/recorder.
The DVX200 will be optimized for 4K/HD production and shares the esteemed VariCam family characteristics of filmic tonality and colorimetry, with natural, subtle rendering of skin flesh tones. It will offer a V-Log curve emulating the natural grey-scale rendition of the VariCam 35. The camcorder will be available in Fall 2015 with a suggested list price under $5000.
The company is previewing the AK-UB300 4K multi-purpose camera for remote studio, weather and traffic reporting, image magnification and sports implementations. The UB300 is equipped with a one-inch MOS sensor that outputs a UHD signal up to 3840×2160/59.94p, with the ability to simultaneously output HD (up to 1080/59.94p).
Also shown for the first time is the AK-UC3000 4K-ready studio system, targeted at studios and productions requiring high-end functionality at an affordable price. The UC3000 outputs a UHD signal up to 3840/2160/60p, while also delivering superior picture quality in HD. The camera’s B4 mount accommodates the gamut of existing 2/3-inch lenses to maximize customers’ return on investment in existing lenses, and allows a wider and more economical choice of glass for sports, concerts and similar applications.
At NAB, it was announced that the award winning LUMIX GH4 will have firmware update (Ver.2.2) available later this month, enabling recording anamorphic video content. Unlike complex digital post processing needed to achieve the classic Hollywood look, many effects that have became so popular with anamorphic film capture can now be achieved optically in the LUMIX GH4.

Well, carp.

"target" 12 stops? 13x zoom? What about my Voigtlanders?

Unless that "13x zoom" is a constant f1.4, looks like I'm finally moving on from Pan-handling.

If this is a handheld camcorder that shoots a broadcast level 4k codec with VFR, Timecode, SDI, HDMI outs, and is going to be better in low-light situations than the hc-x1000, I think this camera is going to be pretty nice! I'll take two.

And with that, I pull the trigger and finally get the GH4. I was holding out for a true replacement to the AF100 but I can't hang on any longer.
 
Will be interesting to see if they put all that pro level connectivity on it, mik303. I would be surprised if it has time-code jacks. But..not sure how they are delivering a "revolutionary" product in current arena....despite this site's name! We'll see.
 
I guess with a lack of details, I'm just hoping this "13x zoom" is either removeable MFT mount, or a Leica-branded constant ~f1.4 (or even smooth ramping to f2.8 at the long end)... if the lens is good enough, it might be nice to not have to swap during documentary... but I don't suspect it'll be either.
 
If it has AVC-LongG and the PX270's utility, I'm buying it. It will, in one fell swoop, more or less replace my HMC150, AF100, and GH4 for most things. I'll keep the GH4 for a b-cam and certain other projects.

I mean, it has V-log and is meant to be a companion to the Varicam line. I don't think it's going to be crap. And I don't have to constantly worry about trying to swap lenses for run-and-gun stuff (the bulk of my work). For wedding and event videographers, this could be a dream (if the rest of the specs don't suck). I really want to see the specs on this thing.
