Haven't been able to get your hands on a new VariCam 35 yet? Or curious about the fastest frame rate and highest codec you can do in V-RAW? Panasonic just released a VariCam Camera Simulator for their VariCam 35, VariCam 35 with Codex V-RAW recorder, and VariCam HS. This is a great tool to familiarize yourself with the VariCam's functions before a shoot, troubleshoot a question from on set, or simply study up on the camera's functionality.

I visited the Panasonic booth at NAB to look at some new products. The first one is the VariCam Extension Unit, a modular system with a recorder and a head that can be separated. This extension unit allows you to send the data from the head back into the recorder and allows you to go up to 5 meters away.

Panasonic has just released new firmware for the VariCam 35 and HS cameras. This update includes some of the most anticipated features for these new cameras, and it's completely free.

With the new Panasonic VariCam 35 and VariCam HS cameras now shipping, I'm excited to give you a full tour of the camera system and its features.

Panasonic has released their highly anticipated VariCam 35 and VariCam HS. These cameras are designed to be modular, featuring interchangeable heads that are compatible with a single recording module.

Last Friday Panasonic made a big pre-NAB announcement - they will be releasing two new versions of their popular VariCam camera. We have seen various versions of what Panasonic has been working on over the last couple of years, including prototypes of both Super-35mm cameras and high-speed 2/3" cameras. Now it seems that Panasonic has decided to make a camera system that fits both needs.The new cameras feature an interesting modular design, where the camera head can be separated from the recording module. The two camera modules they revealed? The VariCam 35 and VariCam HS.
