Earlier this year, the Panasonic Varicam 35 got a baby brother, the Varicam LT. Much like the Varicam 35, the Varicam LT features a 4K Super 35mm sensor and a unique dual native ISO setting at 800 and 5,000, but in a lighter and more compact one-body design at a more affordable price.
Panasonic designed the Varicam LT as a solo operator camera unlike the larger Varicam 35, which was made to for commercial crews. The Varicam LT camera body weighs under 6lbs, and by the time you add an AB battery, a viewfinder, baseplate, rods, and a zoom lens, the weight can easily approach 20 lbs or more, which is very typical for higher-end cameras in this class.
