This year at NAB, Panasonic previewed the VariCam 3, an update to the venerable VariCam family, and I got a chance to stop by Panasonic's booth to take a closer look. Evolving from the original tape-based VariCam to the popular P2 camera, this third-generation VariCam adds the ability to do 120p natively.

This year at NAB, Panasonic gave us an idea of what they have in store for the future, and their future, like many others, is 4K. The concept 4K VariCam was under glass at the show, but we also got to see it backstage and get some more information about what it may be one day.
