25 Feb

Nikon has released an update to their flagship D4 pro DSLR: the D4s. While not a major upgrade to the camera (hence the ‘s’ in the name), the D4s packs more processing power, a refined autofocus system, faster continuous shooting, and more video features (including 1080/60p support). Two other items pros will appreciate are a ‘small’ Raw size and a noticeable improvement in battery life compared to the D4. The camera will be available in early March for $ 6499.95 / £5,199.99.

Panasonic has announced its latest flagship Micro Four Thirds camera, the Lumix DMC-GH4.

An optional ‘interface unit’ adds five SDI and two XLR terminals, and permits 10-bit 4:2:2 output with time code.

Ricoh has announced the WG-20, an inexpensive rugged compact that’s waterproof to 10m/33ft, freezeproof to -10C/+14F, and able to survive a 1.5m/5ft drop. Sporting a 14 megapixel CCD sensor, it provides a 28-140mm 5x optical zoom lens and 720p HD movie recording. It’s a continuation of Pentax’s WG-line (minus the ‘Pentax’ logo), and presumably a WG-10 replacement, though the cameras appear to share the same sensor, lens and rugged specifications. Available in March, it will ship in red or white for $ 199.95. Learn more
