Source: Twitter I can guarantee this announcement will not please any of Blackmagic’s existing user base, unless backed up by some really good news in the form of significant firmware updates for the Cinema, Production and Pocket cameras plus Resolve 11. The latter is definitely coming and takes Resolve’s editing capabilities up a notch.

Atomos have just sent me some info on their upcoming 4K recorder, primarily for use with the A7S and GH4.

But don’t forget the cost of external recorder for 4K. These are expected to be announced at NAB on Monday. Here’s some sample footage from the A7S, you can stream it at 4K on YouTube. Impressive at high ISOs. Remember the HDMI output in 4K is uncompressed… YouTube does not give you…
Breaking news… The Sony A7S has been announced at NAB 2014. It records 1080p internally in XAVC-S format at 50Mbit but the big news is the support for full 4K output via HDMI to an external recorder. Unfortunately it does NOT have an internal 4K recording codec like the Panasonic GH4.
