Here we are reviewing Panasonic’s AG-UX90, an HD and 4K (UHD) camcorder which records to SDXC cards at 25p – this camera does not shoot 50p. The lens is a Leica f2.8 to f4.5, ramping down as you zoom in. It boasts a wide angle...
Our formal review of this cost effective ENG / event / run-n-gun type 4K camcorder is currently being produced but in the meantime, here’s the Editor’s “stream of consciousness” take on the Panasonic AG-UX90, with mention of the UX180 and the HC-X1 at the end for...

Apparently having lost all interest in consumer camcorders, Panasonic has wheeled out a minor update to its 4K line which add – well, pretty much nothing bar a tiltable viewfinder, it seems to us. Yawn. Honestly, we thought Canon’s XA30 was a mere trifle of an upgrade...

Probably the most popular “DSLR” type camera that shoots 4K video, the Panasonic GH4, is getting a mid-life refresh. The new GH4R offers “unlimited” 4K recording (Cinema 4K: 4096×2160 / 24 fps and QFHD 4K: 3840×2160 / up to 30 fps in MOV/MP4) plus the “V-Log L”...
