Sony's more affordable 4K camcorder

Techstination feature for Friday, January 24, 2014

Making your own 4K videos.   I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear.   One of the things that has to be overcome for consumers to buy into the idea of Ultra HD or 4K TV…is  the lack of content.   Manufacturers and program deliverers like Netflix are working on solutions.   And Sony has announced a more affordable camcorder with 4K capability.   The FDR AX 100.  Senior Manager of Technology Mark Weir….

“This time, we’re creating a very compact, light, easy to use 4K Handicam aimed at enthusiast consumers who want to shoot the best possible video.   It’s about half the size of what we’ve been able to create in a 4K Handicam up until now.      It’s very affordable.  It’s just 1999.00.”

Not cheap by any means but less than half the price of Sony’s previous 4K capable camera.      You can find us at BootCamp.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
