JVC outs the JY-HMQ30 its first Nikon F-Mount 4K Camcorder!

Good lord I am happy to be a Geek today and thank you JVC for making something the we all dreaded for : a compact 4K Camcorder supporting DSLR lenses! Featuring Nikon’s famous F-Mount the JY-HMQ30 is not your average camcorder and will shot 60fps AVC/H.264 4K Video on four separate SDHX/SDXC (each SD will shoot a 1920×1080 portion of the 4K video) at 144Mbps or if HD is still your thing, 1080/60p Videos at 28Mbps.
Of course the JY-HMQ30 comes with Apple’s ProRes422 Codec via JVC’s 4K Clip manager as well as featuring 4K Time Lapse recording, Focus assist XLR and even nice 3.5″ touchscreen!

Available this month in Japan, the JY-HMQ30 is far from being the most affordable 4K Camcorder on the market and it will cost you at least 1.7Million Yen without lenses

JVC unveils 4K camcorder with Nikon Fmount

Lovers of 4K and Nikon glass, rejoice: JVC has just launched a 4K large-sensor camcorder that will use Nikon F-mount lenses. The JY-HMQ30 camera will operate in manual focus mode only — even with AF glass — though f-stop settings will be controllable in-camera for modern lenses with no aperture ring. As with the company’s fixed lens GY-HMQ10, the interchangeable model will record AVC/H.264 4K video at up to 60 fps onto four separate SDHC cards, each capturing an HD-sized quadrant with a total maximum data rate of 144Mbps — and also capture 1080/60p video at 28Mbps onto a single card. Other features include a JVC 4K clip manager that’ll convert files to Apple’s ProRes422 codec, live 4K, 60 fps output to a monitor or portable recorder, 4K time-lapse recording, a focus assist function and stereo XLR microphone inputs. Though the company’s taking orders for the 1.7 million yen ($18,000) camera starting today in Japan, there’s no word yet on availability or pricing stateside — but you can probably start polishing up those Nikon lenses soon.
