Here are some frame grabs from the JVC HMQ10 4K camera which is the first semi-pro 4K camera, that breaks under the £4K mark.

The frame size is 3840×2160 and it is the biggest step up in resolution yet seen for video standards.

4K makes the difference between 720p and 1080p seem minuscule!

Wow, that's the future, right there.

I said the same thing.  I find no real fault with this camera system.  Nitpicking this camera's flaws is like discounting Adrianna Lima cuz she's not as perfect as the photo shopped pictures.  I mean really?  That is plenty good looking enough for me.  :)

There has to be some level of reasonable expectation when we start judging these cameras, rather than dealing only in absolute terms of perfection verses great value.  I think we have some great film making tools at low prices already and just have to work around some rather minor limitations.  This camera seems to me to give a great level of image quality for a very affordable price.  It's the closest thing to 4K for everyone so far.

I actually don't know how much hope to hold out for the Canon C4K.  It's just a feeling I get that it will either end up being too expensive or dumbed down in some way that makes us disappointed.  I hope i'm wrong cuz I think that's the camera many thought RED was going to make before they abandoned the low end crowd.

I'm just curious what kind of monitor you use to view a 4k video?
