DETAILS
The Panasonic AU-EVA1 PL Mount 5.7K Super 35mm Cinema Camera is perfectly positioned between the high-end Panasonic Varicam LT 4K S35 Digital Cinema Camera and the GH5 as a run-and-gun style system that's the best of both worlds. It weighs only 2.6 lbs and sports a relatively small form factor without sacrificing ports to accommodate important accessories (such as XLR for microphones). It features a newly-designed (as of this writing) Super 35 sensor with 5.7K resolution (see the Notes tab for more on firmware updates). By starting at a higher native resolution, the 5.7K sensor yields a higher resolving image when down-sampled to 4K, UHD, 2K, or even 720p. It can shoot 4K up to 60 FPS and 2K up to 240 FPS (when cropped down to 4/3" mode). To get up to 240 FPS, the frame is slightly cropped to 4.5K, sampled in half to 2.2K, and then that 2.2K is oversampled to 2K or HD.
As with the VariCam cameras, the EVA1 is equipped with dual native ISO which allows more information to be extracted without image degradation. Additionally, V-Log/V-Gamut capture delivers high dynamic range and the colorimetry of the VariCam line is incorporated into this camera, too. Built-in stabilization and ND filters provide versatility as well as the 2 SD card ports – capture 4K directly in the camera. In a future update, the EVA1 will offer 5.7K RAW output to 3rd-party recorders (again, see the Notes tab for more on firmware updates). The Panasonic AU-EVA1 PL Mount 5.7K Super 35mm Cinema Camera infuses portability and professionalism and is ideal for documentaries, news gathering, narratives, and other cinema projects.
