Getting Up Close & Personal with Panasonic's Less Expensive 4K Super 35mm VariCam LT

Back in February, Panasonic unveiled the VariCam LT, which is essentially a smaller, lighter, and less expensive version to their flagship camera, the VariCam 35.

With only slightly reduced specs compared to its big brother, the 4K VariCam LT features a Super 35mm MOS sensor, 14 stops of dynamic range, and Dual ISOs of 800 and 5000.
