One of the most exciting debuts at this year's NAB show is that of Vision Research's newest camera, the Phantom Flex4K. As you can probably guess from the name, the camera's most notable feature is the ability to shoot up to 1000fps in 4K.

The latest issue of HD Video Pro magazine features an article I wrote about the future of 4K video solutions. We have all heard of 4K RAW solutions, but there are those of us who want the 4K resolution, without some of the unique challenges of RAW. In this article I describe how the Canon C500 can be used with an external recorder like the AJA Ki Pro Quad to record and output 4K video.

Phantom high-speed is now at every professional filmmaker's fingertips with the Miro M-series. The flagship of the Miro lineup is the Phantom Miro LC320S, which offers an entry into high-speed imaging with 1500 fps at 1920x1080 resolution and a touch-screen LCD display. Its compact size, smooth workflow and entry-level pricing make the Miro M-series the most accessible high-speed cameras available today.

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.

Teased at the C300 launch back in November, the Canon EOS-1D C is a 4K (4096x2160) capable HDSLR that can also shoot full HD (1920x1080).

I stepped over to the Canon booth today to get a little hands-on time with the Canon C500. The camera has many of the same features found in the C300, but with the addition of 4K output. The camera can output a 4K RAW video stream up to 60p in 4096x2160 mode, and 120fps in 4096x1080 mode. It can also output a quad HD signal for monitoring.

Sony just announced the NEX-FS700 camera and, lucky for us, they brought it by for a quick peek. It has all the features of the FS100 but with some big improvements including a 3G-SDI output, ND filters and high-speed recording options.
