Canon has been capturing high dynamic range imagery for many years now with their Cinema EOS camera lineup. For instance, their new C300 Mark II camera captures images with over 14 stops of dynamic range with an extremely wide color gamut.

Panasonic recently announced their new VariCam LT. This little brother to the VariCam 35 is more compact and designed for run-and-gun operation.

However, it's now possible to achieve an extended zoom range in a considerably smaller package.
