CES isn’t known for major camera announcements, yet JVC has managed to catch everyone’s attention with their 4K handheld camcorder. Most filmmakers dismissed it due to its lack of interchangeable lenses. However, it looks like we may have spoken too quickly. JVC showed off a prototype concept version of their 4K camera which has a larger sensor and Nikon F mount. Rumors are floating around that it may be priced around $10K, though that is purely speculation.

I’m just curious as to what market would be interested in this.
They introduced 4k under $5,000  that really good news for all. IF they will do same on interchangeable lens under that would be the DSLR killer Camera.If they  come with around $10,000 that mean dslr user can’t afford, That mean everybody need to use GY-HMQ with 35mm adapter like people use to do before with other camcorder.
        Thanks

I hope they would come with the under $5,000.That would be awesome.ÂÂ
maybeeeee docs? Or something interview based? Still no shallow depth tho so I’m at a loss…. mmmm sports?
Game changer.
With interchangeable lenses and 4k this would get you all the depth of field that you would ever need. Film makers who are looking for an higher resolution conversion to get their stuff on the big screen would be one demographic. Granted $10,000.00 is steep for the average person, but if working with a budget I think this would probably be the way I would go.
I wonder if it will be more than 4.2.0 on the interchangable lens. It looks to be maybe better workflow than scarlet but I think thats 444. I mean it’s not gonna have it all but 422 would be decent. i believe this is going to be a decent camcorder but we’ll just have to see final specs.
Why wait for this? Stick a Letus on the GY-HMQ10….bodda bing….a 4k camera with crazy DOF.
