Panasonic Cinema VariCam LT 4K S35 Digital Cinema Camera (EF Mount)

Best camera on the market at this price point

You cant go wrong with this camera. I owned a C300mkII for the past 4 years and recently upgraded to the Varicam LT. The camera balances perfectly on my shoulder (Im using the Panasonic shoulder mount and grip), way better than the C300mkII ever did with any kind of rig imaginable (I tried several and never felt satisfied with any of them, just hurt my back with the added weight). The Varicam definitely feels like I can grab it from my bag and st... Show Moreart shooting right away, moving fast from tripod to shoulder mount to handheld low angle. The image quality is outstanding and the highlight roll off is almost as good as with Arri, big improvement from my C300mkII. The dual ISO sensitivity works pretty well, giving you a nice clean image even at high ISO. The things Im missing from my C300mkII are autofocus (even though I barely used it professionally, but it was a nice tool to have) and faster boot up time. Im really satisfied with the Varicam, it feels incredibly solid without being too heavy.Show Less
