Rumor: Sony A7s will have 4K video

Sounds like it's what the D4s should have been.
Even if it's $6000 with an OdysseyQ as long as rolling shutter isn't bad it could be a winner. I have my MKIII hooked up to an AC7 on set so swapping it for an OdysseyQ doesn't make my rig any bulkier. Canon would have to make the C200 pretty amazing. Surely the 7D MKII will have 4k too.

1. If it's not capable of 4K internally, how was this video captured?
2. First time I've been sold on serious lowlight capabilities. That dojo material was impressive, even on YouTube.
3. Great first test footage from Sony. Simple, super detailed, and a great show of DR.
They should clarify things asap.

Gotta be an Odyssey7Q. Unless someone else has something new at NAB.

I thought the odyssey 7q was limited to 1080p in hdmi input?

it does record at higher frame rates... sort of: 720p at 120fps with APS-C crop

I thought that test footage blew away all of Panasonic's promo videos for the GH4.
The lack of internal 4K is a shame, but then again, look at where we were a year ago.

Yes, it is kicking the snot out of the 5D h.264. 5D RAW can hold its own but between this, the GH4 and the AX-100 who knew 4k was going to be a value proposition? The footage is twice as good and half the price!
Says 10-bit 422 in the Fstop Academy review.
Waiting for that second 4K upload. Lets GOOOO
Yes, just that single video illustrates most of what I need to know, especially considering it's YouTube compressed.
Thanks for info on 4K recording.

""4k recorder. We used the Blackmagic Design Ultra studio Pro that records Ultra HD. Unfortunately this is only AC powered and so we had to confine our shooting locations to being able to plug into a generator or mains."

But sony says the signal is 8-bit. You can record that with a 10-bit recorder, but...
"3840 × 2160(30p/24p) / 1920 × 1080(60p/24p) / 1920 × 1080(60i),YCbCr 4:2:2 8bit/ RGB 8bit"

As long as this camera can record internally without shutting off the monitor spitting 4K out it might be something to look at. This way your proxies are in camera. Now for Atomos to release a 4K HDMI recorder.

Well that sux. Sure about that?
Someone mentioned something about a Sony XLR breakout box. SDI maybe?

Yes, Micro HDMI is not good.
And there's the let-down. The 4K stuff on YouTube does look great, they did a good job using the Ultra Studio to capture that. Slog2 without 10-bit... =T
