Sony has finally come out with a 2/3" 4K shoulder camcorder. It was only a matter of time.

I'm not sure if its three sensors or only one, like the Panasonic HPX600.
What's interesting is the current PXW-X400 can be upgraded, for a price, to a 4K camera. Now that's a first.

It's an EXMOR R CMOS sensor, so it is single chip. Looks like it will hit the streets at the end of 2016.

I think it's a 3-chip'per ...

Thats not the same camera. That video is for the X400 not the new Z450.

Sony’s latest XDCAM shoulder-mount camcorder, PXW-Z450 is capable of capturing 4K (3840 x 2160) picture quality from its new 2/3-type Exmor R™ CMOS sensor.

So… Technically it's UHD, not 4K. ; )
