Building on the esteemed VariCam® legacy of breathtaking image rendition and versatile off-speed effects, Panasonic offers three VariCam cameras. The new, one-piece cinema VariCam LT and the top-of-the-line, two-piece cinema VariCam 35, both featuring the same Super 35mm MOS image sensor for acquisition of movies, TV episodics, documentaries and live events. The VariCam HS is a 2/3" camera that features high-speed 1080p image capture of up to 240fps for sports and slow-motion applications.

VariCam LT's Key Features:

Utilizes the same Super 35mm 4K native sensor and superb imaging capabilities as the VariCam 35, but with significant reductions in size, weight and price.
14+ stops of dynamic range in V-Log, plus the renowned VariCam image quality and color science.
Dual native 800/5000 ISO imager. With ISO5000, you see more detail than the human eye at low light levels (without adding noise).
Image handling in multiple formats ranging from 4K, UHD, 2K, HD and HD ProRes, all fully capable of High Dynamic Range (HDR) capture.
New Codecs: AVC-Intra2K-LT and AVC-Intra-LT for capturing frame rates up to 240fps.
EF mount accommodates a wide choice of lenses for smaller cameras; can be switched out to a robust standard 35mm PL mount.
XpressP2 card slot recording for all formats including high frame rate and HD/2K/UHD and 4K recording; SD slot for high-resolution proxy recording as well ad proxy files for offline edit/color grading.
