Any DSLRs that can Shoot at 4K?

You might know this but I was trying to figure out if there were any DSLRs that can shoot at 4K. Finally, the find: Canon EOS-1D C can shoot videos at 4K. But that comes with a hefty price tag of $12K. :(

Here is what Vincent Laforet shot with this camera: http://makingthemovie.info/2013/04/your-weekend-viewing-vincent-laforet-gets-jiggy-with-a-gyro-stabilizer.html
Damn! that stedicam gadget is expensive!!

Let me know if you know of any other cameras that can do 4K.
(Not DSLRs: I know Go-Pro can shoot at 4K but I was told that under low light the video quality is horrible. The other one is of course Blackmagic Production Camera 4K at $4K)

Canon EOS-M Mirrorless Digital Camera with EF-M 22mm f/2 STM Lens

One of my friends forwarded to me this - seems impressive.

It seems that this camera can do video at 1080p/24 too! But of course I see folks complaining about the rolling shutter and moire issues. http://www.eoshd.com/content/8597/eos-m-official

GoPro Hero3 is Finally Available!

If you have been following this you might know how really good this is! Looks like a real nice, cheap alternative to us indi film-makers...
Check out: http://www.fxphd.com/blog/cineform_protune_gopro_hero3/

See what this camera can do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3PDXmYoF5U


Here are some of the things I liked about Hero3:
  • The camera itself can record at 4K!
  • With Protune you can encodes in H264 and at 24p
  • Protune lets you encode at about 45Mbps on the Hero3
GoPro offers the CineForm Studio editing software for free. They also offer GoPro iPhone app for free and with that you can see and control what your camera sees. Interesting:

But be warned that the visual creativity is seriously limited as the camera has auto ISO, auto f-stop and auto shutter controls!

But hey at $400 MSRP one can afford to let these take a back seat especialy if you want this to be your second camera that you can rig to the top/underside of your trucks and still want the footage to match with your main camera's!
